Robert Green

"Timpview goal keeper Nisha Bindraban (1) watches as a Mountain View shot from a direct kick bounces into the net during the second half at Mountain View High School, Thursday, Aug. 18, 2010. Timpview lost, 4-3."

I should preface, blog posts will be slow this week.

This past week, following an injury playing soccer myself, I visited the emergency room. Unfortunately, I have a disc herniation in my lower back. This has left me basically immobilized and in serious pain since Tuesday.

With that, I will be traveling back to Maryland for treatment and will be out of work until I fully recover.

As for this picture, it reminded me of Robert Green, the England goalkeeper who let a rather simple shot by the U.S. in the World Cup to slip through his hands and into the goal.

The only difference being that this shot got by the goalkeeper completely, untouched and was from a high school girls game.

Funny what life can resemble sometimes.
