FC Metterich dominates Badem

The weekly soccer game was away this week in Badem, the next village over. It is only a few miles from our village, so we took advantage of the great weather by leaving the cars at home and instead walked to the game. Going in, FC Metterich knew that SG Badem was a great team with a couple of dangerous players. Expecting a tough match, Metterich applied pressure early with several coordinated attacks. The first goal came within the first 15 minutes after a great kick through the legs of the defender that also tricked the goalie as the ball climbed up his arms, over his shoulders, and into the back of the net. Goal! Somewhat of a lucky goal, Metterich realized this would likely light a fire for Badem. Metterich immediately began applying impressive pressure while doing a great job of keeping the ball out of their backfield. It did not take long for this to result in goal number 2 for Metterich. The goals that followed were impressive to watch: a break away from their own backfield that led to a great shot and goal, a corner kick turned into a sweet move and goal, and a break down their sideline with a chip shot over the diving goalie. With a final score of 6 to 1, and the amazing goals, we regretted our decision to leave the camera at home. Never again....especially this Sunday when Metterich takes on the rival village of Dudeldorf when they play SG Pickliessem.
