ah!! soccer. my love!!
Ever notice...
-how minutes can go by so slow or so fast.
-that we have the biggest mouths off the field, but on the field we're relatively quiet.
-the theigh tan is bad enough but having the shin guard tan is far more obvious.
-that (in some cases) sports bras are absolutely necessary.
-that i can by cool and rainy as hell, but when it comes to pracise time it will e hot, muggy and sunny.
-when teammates are cheering you on, you actually do better.
-Mary is on her way to being one of the top scores even if she is a defender. Mbr>
-(Even if he is late) Geoff always comes through w/water, ice and a big smile.
-that there really is no 'i' in team. (believe me i spelled check.)
-that soccer players have the worst feet.
-that ice seems to solve everything.
-that the boy's team doesn't really suck, we're just better than them.
-when one of our girls' goes down we say the other teams' "ass is grass", but in reality it's their face that meets the grass.
-that Sarah is just like the engergizer bunny. She just keeps going and going and going.
-that "still fly" is this years team song although we are predominately white suburbian girls.
-when you're in line for water, your turn never comes fast enough.
-that we should really turn one practise into a "nappy time"
-that Mary always has your back.
-that there really is no such thing as an early practise...
-we will never get a real warm up tape.
-that Amy is a lot tougher than she looks.
-Bruises aren't always made in games, but in practises.
-when we actually pass the ball and play keep away goals get scored.
-that the snakes keep getting bigger and bigger around here.
-that a simple snake can distract half a team from anything.
-that our cleats get an orangish tint on them.
-evan's feet will seem like they will forever be orange.
-there is just some spanish words that you have to know when in soccer.
-there is always one mexican on a team. atleast.
-butts up really isn't a threat to your butt, but more like ur calves or ankles.
-nina will always care about how her hair is looking at practise and games.
-your friends can't wait until soccer season ends.
-that we don't really need warm ups cause it's always too warm when we play.
-that teammates are almost unidentifiable when their hair is down.
-Jessica (r) will always have one assist in each game.
-we can get rid of jimmy with a few vocab words: "period" "cramps" and "bloody"
-when the game is going good-jimmy is actually sitting down.
-there are two words said when a teammate gets knocked down. "you're okay" and "get up"
Soccer quotes!!!!
