2.67 Hat Tricks

Yes, that's 8 goals. My niece, Emilee, scored 8 goals in her soccer game over the weekend. I wish I'd been there to seen it. No, she doesn't play for UCLA or Virginia or something, it's her 4-6 year old team. But, I mean, c'mon! 8 goals!?!? Did she dominate as her tiny little 4 year old self, or was the score some ridiculous 27-19? That sounds more like a football score (American football, of course). I feel bad for that goalie - if she cares even a little bit about her performance, she's probably depressed. Already, at age 5, the poor keeper is wallowing in her misery, looking for Spongebob and Dora the Explorer fruit snacks to medicate her pain.
Ahhh, the joys of youth soccer...
