SUPER JOB ANDREW AND KELLY BALANCING THE LATE ARRIVALS. WALK-OFF PK FROM PHILIPPE, GAME ENDS 4-3 TO THE BLUES.
OLD HOME WEEK AS BORDS BRING OLD SWAGGER BACK TO PIERCE. SUPER REF ROBERT PLAYS WELL AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS' HIATUS. MARCO AWARDED BLOODY KNEE AWARD FOR SURVIVING SEVERAL "PHYSICAL" CHALLENGES. NAVEEN SCORED AND MANAGED TO CONTAIN HIS BRILLIANTLY DESCRIPTIVE COMMENTARY FROM LAST WEEK. HE KEPT MIDFIELD WELL ORGANIZED FOR HIS WHITE TEAM THO THEY PRETTY MUCH WENT AWAY FROM HIM IN THE DECISIVE SECOND HALF. NORI PLAYED WELL UP AND DOWN THE PITCH. SAM SCORED SURPRIZING EARLY GOAL.
AND... PRACTICALLY EVERYONE TOOK TURN AT SUBBING TO ALLOW ALL A FAIR AMOUNT OF PLAYING TIME.
GREAT TO SEE BIG MIKE (ARID) BACK IN THE USA.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

decisive second period

2-1 first half white advantage evaporates when nori leaves for a final of 4-1 blue. despite late arrivals' propensity for unbalancing teams' chemistry, mischa and dmitri added little disruption and more talent on the pitch.
blue jerseys-
andrew, art (decent defender from andrew), john, marco, fabrizio, nasser, robin, popeye, and sam shared the spoils of victory (edge shaving cream oh yeah) and bragging rights.

kelly, philippe, naveen, khalid, ahmed, gigi, salvatore, fernaz, abraham and dmitri couldn't find the back of the net after half time tho they missed several scoring opportunities and played well.

U8 boys club friendly which followed inter, finished 3-3.

great to see philippe, and marco. both played inspired football.

robin will be travelling next sunday.

and...
as you can tell , we have more and more skilled new players to play starting at 8:30 sharp, so if you want a full 90 minutes......arrive no later than 8 or 8:15.

sideline support.

captains andrew (white) and kelly (blue) lead their teams to a rousing match including several brilliantly scored goals. john's header from fabrizio's corner was great. andrew powered a low, grass burner into lower right corner of the net which drew ahs and oles from the assembled. dmitri had two and naveen two as well to make the final 5-3.
no robin, mischa or nori today. nasser was active all day. sal's skillful corner into the upper right corner of the net was the kinda of goal most could only dream of.
marwan's soccer IQ showed up countless times during the run of play. he just makes himself available for 1-2's and counter attacks. he passed skillfully and had numerous header attempts on goal. of course all this from marwan because of his sideline support from tatiana and their pooch.
late start time for game due somewhat to daylight savings time adjustment. and several players arriving after 9:10. temps in the upper 70's- lower 80"s.
