Fifa U-20s NZ vs Ukraine

On Saturday I went to go watch the kick off game of the soccer U20s with my friends at the north shore stadium.


So I met with my friends in the city as they were going to take me to the game. After around 30 minutes we got outside the stadium, it took us quite a long time to get to our parking. After we finally got to a parking spot we quickly got out and headed to our Chairs.

As the game started we had the best seats for both half's except we could not see the Tv. But In the first half Ukraine was doing very good they got past the defense like 6 times. Ukraine were doing pretty good, good enough to get about 3 shots at the goal.

In the second half New Zealand did great. Pretty much every minute they were getting down to there defense in no time, New Zealand had many chances but for some reason they couldn't get a goal. There were a lot of amazing plays by New Zealand, but there shots just missed.

In the end it was a hooking game, very intense and it was a awesome time.

My First Win

So, last saturday I had my second real club soccer game for Ellerslie out in Mount Roskill.

On the way to the fields the sky was grim, looking like it was about to rain. As we reached the field I jumped out of the car and I straight away noticed that none of my teammates were there. But after about five minutes the manager showed up with his son Luke so while we were waiting we kicked the ball around, practicing.

15 minutes on, more of my teammates came. Tino, Sam, Bailey and Harry. We started kicking more balls around while we waited for one more player. Soon, Tsubasa came, so because are in the 11th grade we have 9 players on the field and on saturday we only had 9 players.

So we had no subs and it was a tough game, for the first half it was a hard stalemate. The second half was more interesting. The first goal was scored by Tino a awesome goal as well, kicked it in with his left foot even though he is a right footer it also just slipped off the goalie's gloves. The next goal was scored by Tsubasa it was a very good goal set up by me and the goalie saved the shot but luckily Tsubasa was there to finish it in. The last goal was scored by the other team just past our goalie’s arms.
