We've made a note to take you off, before extra time is needed!
But what if it goes to penalties?!! :D

Maybe try some flight socks or football socks for your next expedition, CT.

Left worse than right but both still sore. Last night I was struggling to get out of the chair but I can do that now and I can go upstairs. Trying to get down the stairs is still painful.

Find a set of warm up/down exercises on You Tube and do them regularly. I do the ones we do at Walking Football every morning and evening. Make sure you are drinking plenty of liquid regularly too.

I would also suggest you check out some arch supports. My knees and calves have had hardly any problems since I started wearing some each day. At our age our arches tend to need some help.
