Friday some guys went to the Portland zoo then to “Voodoo Donuts“. Our last fun time as a group. Zach flies out tomorrow. Teteh on Tuesday. Joe will stay here a week to work a camp, then drive to Seattle to work a camp with Cedarville connections.
Our final game was last Saturday. I was invited to go with the team, despite the whole not-on-the-roster-in-time deal. However, I had been invited by an old soccer friend from Cedarville to watch the Seattle Sounders play Chelsea. So, I stuck with those plans instead. The company Phil works for has season tickets which Phil splits with other employees. The seats were great! Ten rows back from the goal line, one section away from the crazy section (the people that dress up and bang on drums all game). Chelsea brought their main team so we got to see a lot of world-class players play (including but not limited to, Michael Ballack, Peter Cech, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard). Chelsea went up 2-0 in the first half, then played their reserve players the second half. Seattle played very well, however, and had good looks at goal. 65,000 people were there. Everybody stood and chanted the whole game, a great atmosphere!
We ended up tying our game 1-1. Joe got to play around 50 minutes! I was excited for him! So, the Surge ends their season one spot shy of the playoffs in 4th place out of 10 with a winning record of 7-6-2. Not that bad.
