penalty

Ben, about to take a penalty. His team consists of a mix of English, French and American kids. Being half-Dutch & half-Irish he is the only one that understands the comments his Dutch opponents are making to put him off.

Perhaps that explains why his kick failed to go in.

In the end they lost 2-1. The location of the club where they played today was a good example of the brilliant skills the Dutch have in reclaiming land from the sea. The club is located in the middle of the river IJ, the one that Amsterdam faces onto. The newness of the place had my TomTom very confused: according to it I had parked my car in the middle of the river!
