Winning!

Yesterday we (my rugby team, that is) played Portland for the league championship.  The winner of the game would advance to Sacramento next weekend for the playoffs.  They scored in the first half but didn't make their kick.  Second half was really an emotional roller coaster getting close then them kicking it away, but we finally scored!  It was a tie (apparently we had a higher point differential against the other teams so we would have gone in the event of a tie) but we scored again at the end of the game!  We were going nuts :)  Their team had a ton of people so we played a third half as a friendly so the rest of them could get some time, which was a lot of fun actually because they weren't that good so we got to have more fun and not be so vicious. We are going to Sacramento next weekend!!!  Our team's first season in the league (PNW) and we are the champions!

After the game we went to the Sounders last regular home game.  It was Kasey Keller's last game and they sold out, even after opening the top level seats (64,000+ people!)  It was a pretty exciting game, Keller got some awesome saves, and we scored twice in the last part of the game for the win!  Andy's arms almost fell off from holding Sawyer the whole time, but he fell asleep by the end of the game.  It was really fun!

We let Beany run around to try and wear him out

They had a ceremony at the end for Kasey Keller, they are setting it up here
