Vai, Vai Rucellai!

Today was our first( and last) calcio(soccer) training session. It was a pretty good feeling to play again for the first time since Nike FC's heartbreaking playoff elimination. We had an inter school scrimmage with my team, Palazzo Rucellai 1, up against our schools other representatives, Palazzo Rucellai 2. Our league is co-ed and our Coach ,Daniele, splits time between the two squads. PR 1 put on quite a show today winning by a 5 or 6 goal margin but this confidence was shaken almost immediately after when Daniele described our citywide competition. We will have to face teams from California, Florida, and Gonzaga. In order to do as well as the team last semester we will have to prove our dominace over all these teams and win the Cup. Daniele described their victory last semester as a glorious champagne filled celebration where speeches were made and awards came pouring in. Thats what we re up against.
