I have recently (a few months ago) decided to take to a sport in Winter, this being soccer, or football as it is known. Well having not played for a club before, I have not been very good in eight or so games I have played, but then again the sport is new to me.
But on Saturday I scored a GOAL. Given that most of the team did not bother turning up as we were playing in Keiler Downs (think of the furtherest place and then add another 20 minutes) I received a starting role. Things did not go to plan. as I landed heavily on my foot in the first ten minutes following which an opposition player kicked me in the ankle (accidently). So effectively I was hobbling around and still playing as we had no substitutes.
But then second half, proabbly the 60 minute mark, the ball went to me in the box, took one touch and shot, and it went in. My first GOAL in soccer. Nice way to end the season.
Incidently, my ankle/foot has swollen up extensively, and it hurts to walk. So I have been hobbling around for the last few days as well and even skipped cricket training, something I rarely do.

Hey Pralabh,
Well done on your goal. xD
You should change your seetings that non-blogspot people can comment.
Did you read the Terry Pratchett book? What did you think? It's okay if you didn't like it. =P

Hi ho, Jack.
Your first goal? Well done! I still remember my first goal for club. There I was, standing about 30 meters out from the penalty box. I back peddled and stole the ball. Then, I lined up the shot, lent forward, and kapow! Through the woodwork for a goal.
I later realized it was the wrong set of goals. Indeed, I had just scored an own goal.
Keep up the good kicking, you should play with an injured foot more often.
(And why weren't you wearing shin guards?)

Good on ya, scoring your first goal after you were injured. Yeah I love this story. Somebody should make a movie out of it. I could see Denzel acting the role of Pralabh.
