We didn't have very high expectations this year, even though we were fielding the best start 11 we've ever brought. On reason for our pessimism was that we ONLY had 11 people, which meant no substitutes.
Jesus has family in San Antonio, so we picked up two locals for our first game, which we lost 2-1. Unfortunately one broke his foot, so we were back down to one sub.
Our second game we won 3-1 and luckily had picked up a new local to play with us. Our third game should have bean an easy one for us, but we couldn't put it together and ended up losing. We were ranked 12th out of 20 teams and actually got a bye out of the first round, but that put us up against the 5th seed team on Sunday afternoon.
By the time the game rolled around, we had two people with pulled hamstrings, one with horrible blisters on both feet, one with a broken foot, and then we got two sprained ankles during the game. Needless to say we got our butts handed to us. The upside was we stayed for the next game and saw them lose in a shoot-out, so all was well.
For the week we were there we stayed in a Red Roof in about two blocks from the San Antonio River walk, which is a great place to go out for a "few" drinks.
Overall I had a blast as always and it's a real bummer to head back to work.
