I play soccer about twice a year. Usually for the semi-annual game intramural game at my previous postdoc institution. They welcome their alumni to come back and play for them, also spouses and friends and acquaintances, especially if they've played professionally in some capacity.
Anyway, one such game was held today. It wasn't terribly hot, but it was incredibly humid. Also, while our rules call for at least two women on each side on the field at a time, at the beginning of the game it was agreed that both sides would play with three women. And then a few people had to leave early, and we were left with only two people to substitute in, so at some point we had five women on our team. Meanwhile, our opponents outnumbered us by almost 2-1, plenty of people to sub in.
And we kicked ass.
We won 4-0. I made a pretty awesome save at one point. Also, I came home with a souvenir:
( not for the squeamish )
