First of all, those are amazing pumpkins! Your kids are really talented.
Second of all, I burst out laughing, when I saw the little face of the doggie (Hershey) peaking out of the front door!!

Katie is now Gidget
. Tigger and Piper were MIA. Tigger showed up later and laid on the floor in front of the cat trees. Piper usually does not hang out by the other cats.

If you keep this up with the name changes, "Gidget" (aka, the name du jour) is going to have some major identity crises in time to come!

That sounds horrible!! Maybe they need video taken of these games with the ability to review. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you never know if a ref has preference for one team. Maybe they have a nephew or grandson on a team. You never know. I hope T gets over this quickly. It must have been heartbreaking. They worked so hard.Not only were us parents reprimanded again today, but our coach was almost kicked out of the game too!!!
He’s furious. I have never seen such bad calls during a TOURNAMENT!!! We had justifiable calls, 4-5 fouls. The problem is, the other team was not having any calls against their own highly visible fouls. It’s fine to call, but call both ways!!!
There was also two blatant handballs by the opposing team, one in the box- neither of those were called either.
2nd half, we’re up 2-1 Our GK did a brilliant dive and save at the edge of the box. One of his feet were touching the line, rest of his body was in. The ref called a penalty on it!!! What?!? Honestly, our parents were yelling and upset at that point. Our coach tried to talk to one of the line refs.. the main ref went over and said “Don’t question my calls”. Opposing team gets free kick at the goal- they make it. Tied game.
We go down and score. BUT- don’t actually score, line ref says one of our kids feet was ahead of the opposing players foot- offsides.
I guess it’s a possibility, so everyone tried to shake it off.
They get the ball again.. lots of shoving, and then a trip— NO call!! Our player is down and has to be carried off the field.
No drop kick because ref says the opposing team had advantage, another free kick. T stops the kick with his chest and starts dribbling, 2 of their players attack.. T tried to pass the ball to a teammate, opposing kid sticks his foot out at same time, the ball hits the ref. Another free kick to them!!!
everyone is yelling at this point, clearly aggravated.
Our boys are looking visibly frustrated at this point as well.
We get it back, take it to their goal, their keeper dives when our kid kicks- no contact. Ball goes in the net. NOPE. Penalty called for kicking the GK. There was NO CONTACT.
You can see the frustration, anger, and sadness in our players now. Other team gets the ball...back and forth on the field between us. They get to the box, another one of their players is offsides by a good 2 feet. We’re all screaming... pass- goal. No offsides called. Our coach throws his phone on the ground and yells for the ref. They have words, but call is not reversed. Our coach storms to the back of the bench.
Whistle blows. Game over. Every boy on the field drops down to the ground. Several crying.
Look, this isn’t the World Cup, but to these boys it’s almost just as important.
We’ve had some horrible refs this season, but there is NO EXCUSE to have so many bad calls in a tourney. None.
Coach talks to the boys, tells them that they were robbed.. but need to take it in stride.
They come off the field sobbing. T was crying really hard. He didn’t even want to go for ice cream.
All I could say to him is was- Be proud of how you played. Sometimes life isn’t fair, we just have to deal with it. Be upset now, but know that if you continue to play as you were, you’ll win almost every time.
I feel so bad for their team.

I thought it would be worse, but it actually blends in pretty well with the trees from a distance. You don't even notice them from the Epcot resort area for the most part.

I had a tear behind my sunglasses. Sometimes the better team loses the game, by maybe not connecting with the net enough. Something like that is frustrating but at least able to be understood. It’s happened to T’s team before.
What happened this afternoon was that the better team lost because the field ref did everything in their power to make sure of it.
I just don’t understand.
I know that it’s unreasonable for youth soccer to have VAR... but I am sick about what happened to those boys. They went into the day so excited.. this tournament was definitely theirs.. or should have been anyway.
On a positive note- T has a friend over right now and has half of my furniture moved and pillows every where- to set up the stage for their nerf gun war.. continued from last night.

My new foster, Mona
She recently lost her entire litter of puppies and was so stressed she was throwing herself against the walls. But she's a perfect pup. Definitely the easiest foster I've ever had though!! She's the sweetest!!

I hope some of your team managed to record the bad calls. So you can report the officiating individual and have him removed.Not only were us parents reprimanded again today, but our coach was almost kicked out of the game too!!!

Biased results is a big no no regardless of what team it is or what kind of tournament it is.
Did not read this in time lol, great minds..
Yes that officer should be removed.

They should just paint the poles of Disney colors (same color as the surrounding area. Like blue and white on water, or like ligthouses, brown and orange on coronado, etc..)
Because the plain anti corrosive silver is eyesore.

Hershey was being a little nosey as always.

Oh gosh. We were watching the game. First, he was angry for all the penalty calls they got in the first quarter. He knew they were deserved. He said they were just being dumb with their playing. We don’t know if the player on the Ravens got a penalty for the helmet to helmet contact which gave the quarterback a concussion. The turnover in OT was just the icing on the cake to the horrible season they have had. No playoffs this year. Thanks for asking.

I am happy and sad about this post. She lost her puppies? That is so sad. I don’t want to know what happened to them. You are such a great person for giving her some happiness.

He did get a penalty for that. Roughing the passer. He'll probably be fined too. I really don't think he did it intentionally. I really hope he recovers quickly.Oh gosh. We were watching the game.

It was frustrating from our standpoint too. I turned it off partway through in frustration. Then we won. Thank goodness for Justin Tucker. He's the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Thank goodness for us.

As Sunday night draws to a close, a thought came to mind.....The people of Australia must be feeling good. In the Land Down Under it is already Spring. Every new day brings them closer to their summer.
