second half "counter attack"

after trailing blues by 3 at halftime, whites cap off remarkable comeback with nori's second goal of the match at 80minutes.
reza @8m, oscar @20m, and luciano @22m had what appeared to be momentum and firepower to make it a no-contest. mischa, bierman, junior, fabrizio, john and oscar were all on the same page. they also had the extra man.
adjustments were made for the three who left at halftime and dmitri @45m, nasser @55m, philippe, robin and nori @57m and @80m went to work scoring 4 and blanking white.
skillful play all day from robin, eric, mischa, mike and fabrizio despite horrible match conditions. temps and air quality ---can you say disgusting?
sideline support provided by miretsky family and this week's featured personality, nori's tomie.
she's a mother of 5 and hails from Osaka Japan. She sells clothing, takes ballet classes and likes painting and drawing. She is newly re-inspired? to learn English because of President OBama's message.
schedule note: next week's match will start promptly at 8:15 a.m. sharp.
Yeah right. Big joke. But really tho, it's absurd to start at 9 during these dog days of summer. Try to bring a friend so we have more numbers and get to the field on time.
Final game report card deportment grade --- a solid B minus, S-S. So much nicer to play without dissent and profanity and childishness.

nice match

with the help of some new players and the cooperation and maturity of the rest, we had a nice, 3-1 match this past sunday morn on a slightly muddy pitch with great weather conditions. no cards and little dissent allowed all to go home satisfied with their efforts.
blues take it under the captaincy of joe and the leadership of mischa, marcos, nori, eric (junior), and robin.
nice job for the whites by bierman, oscar and kelly.
nice to see new players come on to add to our "sunday friendly".
brief obvious note- it's a good idea to warm up and stretch those seldom used parts of the soccer anatomy before the match. cuts down on the pulls and strains that occur when the mind wants to do what the body used to be able to do.

nice match!

thanks bob for lining the field. good luck on you tourney next week. nice work in goal too. thanks for bringing the extra recruits as well. and the extra ref duty in the second half. you did all within your power for a good result and a 4-2 loss in a good match is not too bad.
Blue team: berny, cory, eric, nasser, naveen, robin, alex l., alex, bierman, gigi, adam and matt were the victors this day.
Whites: nouri, ryan, ahmad, luciano (yellow card), oscar, joe, john, karl, mischa, bob and kelly played pretty much even up but couldn't finish enough times to be successful.
good job younguns and new players you are invited come back next week. for those with ref duty or tournaments, make us proud and good luck!
