Check it out - this is the 200th blog entry for the Cazzato Family Blog. Another milestone for our life in China.
I took a few good pictures of the kids playing soccer on Saturday with the Suzhou Sports Club. After a bit of arm twisting by Kathleen and I, all four of them are playing soccer and enjoying the exercise and competition. Marco and Maria appeared particularly engaged in the action photos above.
Funniest thing, of course, is Maria's outfit. She prefers to wear dresses and actually does not own any pants or shorts, so for soccer she is wearing a polka dot pink dress underneath her football jersey.
This week I had the opportunity to fill in as coach when there was no one to lead Juliana's team. Unfortunately we suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat at the hands of my friend Robert's team. Our team seemed equally capable and we even had three Korean kids prodigies on the team. It seemed however, each time we got the ball into the other teams backfield, that we had no one playing offense.
Blame it on the coach (me) who was challenged to figure out even the basic rule. When do you throw-in versus having a corner kick. We didn't have soccer when I was a kid !
