Anyway, Sunday's games were tough! The first game we tied 3-3 but there was drama involved in that game and I really think that's why we tied. Tristan got hurt and was down for quite a while on the field. We weren't worried until a cart comes over with additional people and Josh went out to see what was going on. He was met with, "Step back, you can't touch him!" Now this got him all worried and secondly pissed him off. You don't dictate to Josh, belittling him isn't effective and secondly, that's our child! The director of the tournament had heard that he hit his head and although he was perfectly fine he wouldn't let him get off the ground until a trainer came over. Our assistant coach is a trainer but he wouldn't listen to him. The director's comment to him was, "This is my field."
Josh proceeded to lift Tristan up and walk him over to the bench. The director follows him and causes a huge scene. Josh walks to the other side of the field and sits back down with the director following every step, still talking. He then gets in Josh's face (bad breath and all) and says, "It's unbelievable what you just did! I have every right to throw you out of this park right now!" He then storms off and we are all sitting there in disbelief!
Tristan was perfectly fine, another player elbowed him but he didn't have a bump, nothing. He played the rest of the game but his team missed him, I believe this was the reason for the tie. After the game, Josh goes over to the director to try and clear the air but all he heard was, "Are you an effing doctor?" So the conversation ended on that note. Josh walked away which I was really happy about. This man was on a power trip and nothing you could have said would have made things better. I didn't want Josh to get thrown out of the park so I was fine with it ending that way. You can imagine that our team had lots to talk about during lunch.
The second game was a rematch of the 1st one. This time there wasn't any drama and Tristan played the entire game. We won! Tristan and his best friend Joel finally got a goal on something they had been working on for over a year. Tristan kicked a corner kick and Joel headed it in! Awesome, it was like watching the pros!
Trophy!!!
Tristan and Joel with their medals! We had to make a trip to Dave & Buster's to celebrate the win!

fights on the soccor field. fights in the mcdonald's playground. that josh sure is a bully. jk. craziness! and we would have been on that field also. in tears i might add. ha ha
You are too good! I had completely forgot about the McDonald's incident.
Josh said later he should have responded to his question about being a doctor with, "Yep, I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night!" I think that might have pissed the guy off more though!
This is so awesome. Tell Tristan-"Nana is so proud of him AND Joel." They did a great job...
Tell Josh I am proud of him too....It takes a real man to walk away from a total idiot.
Drama, drama. Good for Josh walking away. Although with Preston, that wouldn't have happened. He would have been thrown off the field. Tell Tristan good job. Love you.
