This week was one of downs and one "up". The kids lost both of their games. Pretty disappointing, especially since Matthäus played against the team from last place, but that is the way it goes sometimes. Jennie's team played really well, but, in the end, the goals are what count.
The one "up" is that Matthäus was asked to be on the bench for the first team. The new players usually only get to play a few minutes at the end of the game, but it is a good introduction for them to the team strategy and players. This game ended 0-0 with Weinstrasse having lost one of their players to a red card, so no newbies were substituted. Better luck next time, Matthäus!

Yesterday was another great soccer day for the Ranigler family! First of all, Matthäus, who plays with the junior team, was one of the players to be called to train and scrimmage with the first team yesterday. He was proud, and when he finally got home at 10:30, tired and hungry!
Then Jennie came home late from practice because she had to talk with the president and the coach. She has been named on the provisional list for the all-stars team of the province for U14 girls!! This team consists usually of one or two girls from each team and meets to practice for a game against a slightly younger boys' team.
Way to go, kids!!

This week was a calm one for us. Jennie's league has an uneven number of teams, so this week was their turn to sit out the weekend. She was glad to have a break. And Matthäus' game was postponed until the 29th. The other teams all played, of course, but there were no changes in the rankings. The good news for Jennie was that the two teams behind them in the rankings played, and the right one won - the underdog - so they only passed up the opposing team. Had the other team won, they would have passed up Jennie's team in the rankings too!
Matthäus was asked to play with the club's top team this weekend for the first time!! Unfortunately, he had another appointment. The coach assured him he will be asking him again.
Next week Matthäus will be playing against his team from last year, Auer, last in the rankings with 0 points.

A good week for the Ranigler family! Both teams won. The biggest news is that Jennie played midfield (instead of defense) this time and shot her first goal of the season! Her hands flew up to cover her face when it happened; she was so surprised! Afterwards she told us she actually wanted to pass to her team colleague in the center of the penalty box and was mortified that it hadn't worked.
Sebi, our nephew, also won this week. He is his team's goalkeeper, and has kept the goal clean for a goal difference of 22-0 in 5 games. Needless to say, they are first in their group. Way to go, Sebi! Sebi is playing against a lot of teams from our area this season. Unfortunately, all of them have been home games for him, so we haven't seen him in action yet this season.

When we made our plans for going home to the States this summer,
my Darling Sister made us drool at the news that they were
installing a pool and hoping to have it done before we got there.
But no go. We just had a hole in the ground to stare at.
Now she sends us these luscious pictures of a blue pool when we
are nearly 6000 miles away again. Way to go, sis! :-( We heard you
found the perfect place to hang the thermometer, though. Was the
water warm enough for you?
So, TSG, now empty out most of the water and get on your leotards
and ice skates, 'cause swimming season is over for you, too!
