This evening Cade's soccer team, EMFC (Eugene Metro Futbol Club) Boca Jrs., battled his cousin Pascal's soccer team, EMFC River Plate, in an OYSA (Oregon Youth Soccer Association) game. It was their first official game against each other (though they've had hundreds against each other in the yard over the years!).
The Result: Cade's team came out on top 4-0 BUT they were still best buddies afterward!
Cade said before the game that he wanted to play midfield (he usually plays forward) so he could mark Pascal. And, Pascal's Dad (my bro, David) always reports that Pascal plays his best when battling Cade. Unfortunately, they did not match up against each other this time. But, I know there will be many rematches to come! Both boys played well. Cade assisted one of the goals and showed his speed and a few moves against the big boys (he is playing in a league of mostly 6th graders...he's in 4th grade). Pascal showed his strength and it was fun to see him dribble and cut through several players several times.

This cracks me up...Cade trying to slow down the opposition!

Did you ever dream 30 years ago when you and David were that age and best friends, that your sons would be best friends too!? So, so fun!!
