Soccer at The Domain

By kirsch | March 23, 2008

While looking for something in Google Maps (a heliport on top of my building, if you must know) I noticed that as of the time of this writing, the satellite imagery does not yet have the new and fancy The Domain shopping center accross the street.

NI Eagles Fall 2007

By kirsch | March 4, 2007

Yesterday marked my triumphant return to the soccer fields to play after long time rival Juventus (not the actual Italian team). The first ball I touched after almost three months of injury was a perfect pass to the striker for an open shot on goal. Too bad the striker played for the other team.

Broken collarbone update

By kirsch | December 17, 2006

It’s been now a week since I had that little accident. I can now mostly get dressed, eat, and shower by myself. I can now type with one hand. Vicodin is my new best friend. Thanks to everyone who’s helped me out, called or visited. Especially my parents who came over to help their crippled [...]

Yesterday ten minutes into the last NI Eagles game of the season, when fighting for a ball, I got tripped over and landed badly on [...]

NI-Eagles Soccer Team – April, 2006

By kirsch | April 8, 2006

We didn’t take a photo of the team during the Fall Division 1 season of the Austin City League. I’m partially to blame for that.
In any case, we played a friendly match today, a few weeks before the summer season starts, against a team from some chinese church (I’ll try to find more details about [...]

Emergency landing

Originally uploaded by kirsch.

When falling down, use your hands and not your head to break the fall.
This is me after our last soccer game. As you can see, I had sort of a rough landing. This picture was taken about 1 hour after the event.
Next time, I’ll do my best efforts to land on [...]

Exciting end of season

By kirsch | April 18, 2005

It’s been a while since I posted anything about the NI Eagles, Austin’s top soccer team (approximately).
We are one game away from the end of the Spring 2005 season. We are now in Division 2, having moved up all the way from Division 5 (which is pretty good considering that we are largely the same [...]
