So the weekend was spent watching some fantastic soccer.
(Even from a non soccer fan like myself.)
With over 20 professional teams from all over France: Lyon, Monaco, Montpellier, Bordeaux
…..and Paris to name a few.
It sure was a great change and welcomed challenge for our small team to play against some talented and technically strong national teams.
Here's the other team from Caen which qualified as well.
Our arch enemy, Stade Malherbe, who we beat in our first game of the weekend.
Seb is pumped!
With our Normandy flag….
The parents are pumped!
The second day of the tournament we faced off againt Paris Saint-Germain. The kids were totally intimidated (I would have been too!) and lost their first game againt them 4-0.
For the second and last game of the tournament, still against Paris, they sucked it up and defended their ground, loosing by a very respectable 1-0. After all, if you are out of the tournament and up againt the best, at least have fun and say you played against the best!
1-0 we were very proud…they gave it their all.
Paris and The ASPTT
Did I mention the ball for the final match was delivered by a helicopter?
Can you say, danger, warning, super fast spinning blades???
Really…..over the top, really.
Yes, us Mom's were totally pumped,
and no I don't paint my face for all of Seb's games.
It was Mother's Day here after all.
And those Dad's were equally pumped,
because well, they're guys and they're just always like that.
The smoke and flying sparkly paper thingies
for the awards ceremony.
And after a super effort and emotional weekend,
Seb still finished with a smile.
