Recreational activities of the experimental physicist August 4, 2006

Yesterday at 5PM sharp the italian Summer Students were off work. They gathered in the CDF trailers parking lot, eager to embark in some recreational activities. I suggested a beer at the Users’ center - a facility in the Fermilab village, featuring a bar, pool and tennis table. Beer is a diversion that I can still take on at my mature age…
I joined them for the beer(s), and after gulping them down we were ready for a soccer game. We found a good spot next to the tennis courts, a flat grass field, and soon formed two teams. 12 people, two teams of six.
The game was entertaining: correct and relaxed, a bit like brazilians playing on the beach – Sergio, a engineering student from Pisa, even played barefooted. My team was probably a bit less strong, but we tried to play for the beauty of the game – and in the end, we won 6 to 5. As always, after the game I was ready for ambulance pick-up…
A word about the girls in my team, Viviana, Sara, and Maria: all very effective both as defenders and when attacking. We won thanks to a golden goal by Sara. Below is the winning team: left to right, Angelo, Viviana, Tommaso, Marco, Sara, and Maria.
Actually, it seems that it was not Sara to score the last goal…
You forgot to mention the other one at the back making the ‘corna’!
Oh, I almost forgot: the golden goal was score by Viviana (don’t worry, Tommaso, many of us find difficult to distinguish between Sara and Viviana… In fact, it is only a few days I am able to!)
Cheers
I perfectly well know which one is Sara and which one is Viviana! I was defending during the last action so I was far from the other goal…
