A home game! A tough but important match, because if Inter Colonia wins, they secure second place in the standings, which offers a view of the cup that can be won at the end of the season.

Unfortunately, we lost 4 – 5. We started the match really well, with a quick 0 – 2 lead, but the opponent fought back and managed to win by a single goal difference in the end. However, Alan scored two goals, so for us it counts as a victory in a way.

We win again! 1 fantastic goal by Alan. A very exciting game. We started 0 – 2 behind. Soon after we reached 2 – 2 tie. Then 2 – 4 behind and eventually we managed to win with an impressive 5 – 4.

The supporters/families got organized and we were all dressed in team colors. Win!

We win again! The first match was lost, but ever since we are winning. Alan scores almost all matches, and he dominates the game. He is fast, he looks around and sees opportunities, he scores, but also helps others to score. Overall I’m starting to warm up to the game.

Win! Our first win.

Lost! I was never a big fan of football. Even though both my parents were trainers, and my brother played pretty well, the only reason I visited the few games I did was to collect grass for my rabbit.

With Alan this changed. In the beginning the lost a couple of matches, some resulted in scores like 35 – 0, but now the team found their place in the competition, and the matches are more equal. Too bad, we did not win, but Alan did score a goal!

I remember that you used to be able to collect cards from famous players and teams. Fun for the fans, and something that could quickly turn expensive. To get all the cards you needed to buy lots of little bags and make an effort to exchange all your repeating cards. You could place all the cards in an album, and needed to keep collecting until it was complete.

At Alan’s soccer team (before Fomento, but now c.d. Inter Colonia) they thought of something new. They are going to make soccer cards of themselves. It feels like a good idea to take some money of the parents, and make a nice profit for the club. I made a quick concept card to see how Alan’s card might turn out, but for the actual cards I suspect we need to be patient.
