Cody had his second week of soccer this past Saturday and he again got off to a good start scoring the first goal of the game again as last week. Better results in the end too, his team (Spain) ended up winning 9-7. I (Jeremy) also didn't take long to be able to come out of the coaching ranks again. This group of boys did not have a coach so you know me, the window of opt. could not be denied. I am going to finish coaching them the final 2 games and they also have a 4v4 tournament early February that the boys were all excited about being in when I mentioned it to them so we will see how it goes. I guess with my first glimpse of indoor and international soccer in short I would say very high skill level and aggressiveness. Even though Cody is playing up against 4th (which he has before) and 5th graders in this league, it still appears to more physical which is good for him. Alex F. had already educated me some on indoor soccer and maybe this is standard all around regarding more physical play. Rules are a bit different also which takes some adjusting when it comes to strategy but overall concept is no different. I even used my strategy (as some of you have seen before) when we got our lead at the end putting the Codeman back into a defensive mode which worked great during the last 5 minutes. All of the boys in his team appear to be Arab decent (Bahraini) but they all have a great time playing together. I have to work now more than ever on remembering names. We will let you know how the next game goes. Jeremy
