A Loss for the Team

Today, Sunday, September 19, I had a soccer game.  It ended 1-3, we lost.  The one goal that we scored was crossed over to the other side and tapped in.  I tried very hard to get a goal when  I played forward.  I had three breakaways, but no goals.  The first time, the ball  just slightly missed the net going a little too much to the right.  The second one, I came up the left side with the other team's defense sprinting behind me.  Once I got centered, I shot the ball to the right. When I shot the ball, the goalie fell in front of me. This time the ball didn't miss, it stopped right at the goal post.  I jumped over the goalie to get the ball, but the other team beat me to it and they towards our goal.  The third time, at mid-field I jumped between two girls from the other team and stole the  ball from them.  This time I sprinted right up the middle.  No one was around me, it was just me and the goalie.  I shot the ball into the lower right corner, the goalie blocked the ball as she again fell in front of me.  I stumbled against her and fell over her.  Down on the defensive end we had an own goal, which means a goal scored by your own team.  I was sitting out at that time so there was nothing I could do.  But, overall there were a  lot of good passes.  I think we still need to work on trapping, long distance kicks, and making better decisions.  Please respond if you have your own sports blog or any advice for me or my team.
