As a World Cup junkie who has been watching the most beloved game in the world as of late, I have been itching for a real game so that I can, too, bend it like Beckham. I had suggested a friendly football match between LFM and SDM to satisfy my itch but the reception from my SDM class has been less than enthusiastic at first. I finally got a team of about 12 people from SDM but I now have scheduling problems as not all of us can play at the same time. Arghhh... It looks like we might finally get that match scheduled for the weekend of July 14-16.
Not willing to wait, I played in an LFM organized football pick-up game yesterday. Despite being the holiday weekend, there were 24 people playing on the MIT AstroTurf at one point of the game. Most players are LFM students and there were a few MBA and ESD students. Ankur and I were the only people from SDM. I played my usual position as a defender. Even though I have not played for more than 5 years, I was very happy with my performance. I was fast and well coordinated. I was feeling confident by the second half. It was a fun game and I plan to continue playing this pick-up game every Friday.
