The Dream Goal

The title of this post has no hidden meaning. The goal I wanna score? Allow me to describe it to you.

Someone gets the ball before the half way line. A counter attack. The ball is crossed over to the right wing where I'm standing. One touch on the chest to take the pace off the ball, the second touch with my right feet-caressing the ball as it slowly touches the ground. All in one motion. Defender on my left about to slide in, goalkeeper steadies himself to make a save.

Me whacking the ball as the onrushing defender slides in. I sliced the ball. It swirled from left to right, finding the top corner of the left side of goal. Goalkeeper can only watch in despair.

I'll turn. I'll cheer. I'll keep on dreaming.
