Soccer

I attended the school's first soccer game yesterday (Thursday) against a German school on the other side of town.  The game was supposed to be a blow out (the German school's team is quite good) but Hage Geingob High School played hard and with spirit, coming to within just one point of it's rival.  The final score was 3-2, but the loss was hardly a loss.  Getting such a close score against such a good team was a huge accomplishment.  Below are some pictures of the game.

Here's the team all piled into the Combi (van) to go to the field.  I think there were 20 players that all crammed in here!The team photo.  Don't they look professional?The pre-game huddle.  They were actually quite organized despite only having a month of practice since the beginning of school.
 
Hage Geingob controled most of the first half, which ended with a tied score of 2-2.  The second half, the German team showed the benefits of hard training by running down HGHS and controling the ball most.
