Matheus had a soccer game tonight against Hibriten. This team plays so hard. I never realized how aggressive and fast paced soccer is and it seems to me the referee calls are very objective. Of course, I am still learning the game so maybe there are things I don't understand, but it looks to me like one action is called and the very same thing happens and is not called....it is confusing and frustrating.
The goalie for Hibriten was very boisterous and loud and I heard a racial comment from an adult sitting in the stands behind us which infuriated me. I turned around and looked at the group where the comment came from and probably would have said something to them if it had not been for my hubby. I truly don't understand how an adult can say things like this....and if adults are saying it....I can't imagine what the kids are saying on the field. No wonder the boys lose their temper and get yellow cards.
Sometimes I try to yell and encourage
them not to say anything back to the referee....
not sure how that is taken when they really don't know me. I hope they know I am just trying to be encouraging....it is difficult not to speak your mind when you are angry. 
Now our boy is wearing a different pair of shoes....they belong to Grant Barnette---a player on the JV team.
Special Thanks to Grant...they fit Matheus really well....and they are pretty too....what do you think, Brad?...they are your favorite color!
