Over the past year Mateo has really gotten into soccer and it really got more serious during the World Cup. At the end of the summer he tried out for the U9 Hoboken Travel Soccer team and he was chosen to be on the red team. He was so happy because he got to be with some of his friends. Today was their first game and it was an away game in Orangeburg, NY.
The team reviews some pre-game plays with coach Santi
The team waits as the game is about to start...it was so hot. Mateo is wearing the blue penny because he will be subbing in for someone, but is not starting.
Not sure how this happened, but Mateo volunteered to be goalie. He does not know the rules related to this position so this move resulted in 2 goals against their team. Luckily they were able to recover and ended up tying with a final score of 4-4. ..whew! Not the best first game, but hopefully the rest of the season will be better.
After the game we headed to Aba's house where they were having a get together with all the cousins. Lucia and Melanie were having a fun time playing in the sand in the garage.
While Genesis, Elena and
And not to be forgotten Baby Valentina looking quite perplexed
