that was a close one!

tight 1-1 match at half time stayed contentious thru full time, blues winning it 5-4. kelly pk (b) and rich (w) netted all the early scores. second period went to luciano and marco- 3 scores and karl's header the difference. khalid redeems first half yellow card somewhat 27 min. beyond the mid time break. fernando and omar also scored for whites. props to kelly's niece in from Wash. state who sent many white challenges a begging. have made corrections to many email addresses and have resent many. please log in and also please make a positive comment on the blog site. you need to create a google account or your 30 day guest privileges will expire.
again, we will need ref volunteers soon and we also will need to "clean up our act" when the league starts. maybe we should just trade away (disinvite) any one who has recieved continual cautions and cards. you know, the loud, argumentative ones. maybe this week we'll have a grown up game.

slowly slowly

new members joining ! we jumped from 10 signons to 15.

a game of streaks

whites score early and easily (3 in first 16 minutes) but blue settles down with 4 unanswered to make Kelly winning captain again. eyad steals outlet pass and scores. philippe scores 2 then Richard heads in rebound for final tally. Yellow cards to Luciano (profanity)and Khalid (dissent) punctuate a raucous, combattive affair. We did have a new captain this week (Dmitri) and the score was within parameters yet the behavior still leaves a lot to be desired. When the league starts in August all Inter will have to be on good behavior. (youth and official spectators) All Inter will be asked to referee a number of youth games. We will not maintain our permit and relationship with Pierce and Real SoCal unless we clean up our act and we must also volunteer to ref.
Update. more invitees have figured how to sign in to this new Inter site! I have reinvited several people. Some several times. I assume some are not interested.

is anybody out there?

no comments and no new members despite reinvitation of 26 members. oh well. this is the second posting this week, maybe no one has checked their email this summer. i thought the last posting was brilliant, but that's just me. comments?

strange tale of two halves

looked like a great but low scoring match at half time but things got quickly out of hand. 2-0 is a fair measure of the balance created by the white and blue captains. so what went so terribly wrong you ask? white did eventually find the back of the net 4 times but blue went on a rampage. credit in huge amounts to all players who finished the game under trying circumstances. it isn't easy. no one enjoys a blow out--- i think. this one became an deluge. some say the winners had too much youth. some say the teams were extremely poorly chosen. some blamed the refs. oh well. only one card (yellow ,mo) and no riots. considering incidents occuring during football matches thru history, this one was relatively innocuous. i said "relatively" enywaz, no one had a poor game and some fun was had by all. even the "caesar hecklers" on the sideline. and by the by, please look for the comment section on this site and do so constructively.i have sent invitations to 38 inter members but so far only 10 or so have logged in. let me know if you're having problems with this.
p.s. where else can you have so much fun trying to recapture the glory days of your youth? don't take everything so serious! the teams will be different next week. we may even have new volunteer team captains. what a concept!
