January 22nd: Day 6

January 22nd, 6PM: Having wasted much of the day watching Star Trek, blogging, and doing random stuff in my room, I was invited to a soccer game between a bunch of international students. There ended up being 11 of us, making it 5v5 with one person subbing out every three minutes. We arranged it to be North America vs Europe, and if I were a betting man I would bet my money on Europe for soccer any day. Good thing I'm not a betting man. We had a couple Canadians on our team who were good. I stayed on defense the entire game, finding I was decent at running around really fast and pressuring them into passing the ball and not making shots at our goal. I'm not that good at soccer, I haven't played it since I was in elementary school, but I thought I was decent. My roommate was our goalie and he was good at that as well (although we kept the ball near their goal most of the time). When we took a break it was 8-1 with North American dominating. The Europeans eventually came back to make it 9-6 our win, and it was fun. After that we all had dinner together. That was about it, nothing special about day 6. Day 7 though, would be much more interesting...
