Saturday - by Jack Corscadden

Saturday started when we woke up at 6:45. We quickly ate breakfast becuase we had to go to a tournament at 9:15. We all expexted to lose badly because of the beach soccer games. The field was at an incredible complex with footsol courts, gyms, and cafeterias. Our first game was against Xhinos brothers team. We were all tired from the night before so we started out rusty and they scored two goals on mistakes. At the end of the first half it was 2-0, we were losing. We managed to hold the score to the end, 2-0. After the game we watched our brazilian team play, and they also lost to a strong team. This meant that we would get to rematch our brazilians. The first half of that game was against 13 year olds and we were 0-0 at half. We were playing poorly, as if we had lost our facts. At the beginning of the 2nd half Ceretta put all the strong players in. Quickly we were down 2-0. Near the end of the half JZcheetah aka Josh Zhou scored an awesome goal and did a front flip celebration. Their goalie was one of the defenders as a joke and it had cost them. At the last minute of the game Sam Lehman aka Sam Snake aka Samalamadingdong aka Ultimate Sam aka Ham ;) tried a bicycle kick and earned us a corner kick. Brendan aka Benji crossed the ball and Green eggs and Sam took a header at the goalie that dropped, was shot off the post and scored by Kian!!! We tied the game. That ment pks. After saves by goalkeeper blake lee aka Brake Ree, Benji had to take the last kick for the win. Benji shot the ball off the back of the goal and scored! We all thought he missed though and we stared at Benji when he ran up the field with his arms open. The other team was mad and left the field quickly. Then we had a bbq near the field. We hung out and watched the championship game. After, our team got a 3rd place trophy. We took a bus ride home and stayed at the hotel until 7 and then walked the town. It was really crowded and we all eventually joined a concert in a plaza. At first for 15 minutes, then 30. We walked home and went to sleep. We are having a lot of fun in Brazil!
