Play football at lunchtime and have this happen. It makes for fun walking…..
Twas the Phoenix’s first game of the season proper last night and they ground out a very uninspiring 1-1 draw against the Queensland Roar. Besides the game Vic and I have a very nice afternoon with a late lunch in town and then a few drinks before the game.
I also took my camera with a 28mm prime on it but didn’t take a lot of shots. Here’s a few from the night…..
The mighty Phoenix reached the first cup final in their short history and last night played the Melbourne Victory, last years league winners, in the pre-season cup final.
9,208 people watched the two teams have their chances in regulation time but no-one could break the nil all deadlock. After 90 minutes it all came down to a penalty shootout.
The Phoenix lost 8-7 after about 15 minutes of agonising shots from the spot…….
A great but ultimately disappointing night.
Here’s Vic and Emma during the shootout!
This was a great weekend for football (soccer) results:
Max and I also had a great bonding moment this afternoon as we sat there cleaning our boots together…..
Max had his first game of football (soccer) today with the little dribblers football club 🙂 Unfortunately Vic and I are in Sydney but supposedly Max’s team won 4-2 and Max scored a goal! He also got a certificate for player of the day!
Vic and I became season tickets holders for the Wellington Phoenix, our local footbal team and are also members of the Yellow Fever, the supporters club. It’s a long story but Max picked up one of the chants a couple of weeks ago and this is him chanting “Ricki Herbert’s yellow army!” (Ricki Herbert is the coach)
