		<description><![CDATA[Saturday&#8217;s game was a rough one. Our opponents played very good soccer. Plus, I think they were all like 8 and 1/2. They were tall, anyhow. And fast. My team&#8217;s average age is seven. In addition to age and height disparities, only 8 out of 12 of my players showed up, so I wasn&#8217;t really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow I&#8217;m going to put some of my ideas about soccer tactics for U8 into practice during my team&#8217;s game against Swampscott.
