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.

SECOND GREAT MATCH

MUDDY PITCH DISTRACTED AND CHALLENGED MISCHA'S BLUES AND DMITRI'S WHITES TO A 5-5 DRAW.

goals came from--

gigi 83', speedy 5', and john 3', 73', 78'. and

khalid pk, naveen 54', dmitri 67', and ?

nice game from eugene, sal, ryan (new, came with sal), mischa, keeper and drew.

Match started LATE and LATE arrivals were added LATE. you know LATE.

franco made sideline appearance. good to see him.

OVERALL GAME DEPORTMENT WAS, AGAIN, VERY GOOD! CONGRATS TO ALL

HALLOWEEN HANGOVER IN TWO WEEKS. BRING A FRIEND.

too much dima and john

hard working nori, gigi and kelly could not slo dima (hat trick) and john (hat trick).eugene scored for the blu as well to make it 7-4. sabel, kelly each had one and luciano scored 2 for the whites. whites were also denied countless times by brilliant work from alfredo (where are you brian bord?) whites did outscore mischa and his compadres in the second half and they also had a man advantage to work with but the mountain was too high.

mischa please send enrique's email if you have it, and dmitri do the same for eugene. assuming both new players are fit enough to continue playing.

remember to arrive at the field before 9 am. try also to recruit a few more players.

in other soccer news--- bob's son cory made solid contributions to his real socal team which started around 11:45 in the sunken field. tho the first half score was 2-0 favoring the bad guys, cory produced the only first half powerful shot on goal and he had a half dozen powerful throwins.

COMPORTMENT UNDER CONTROL

Welcome back Sal! (veterano returns from Club Idaho)

Franco, neckbrace and all, offers game comments to anyone who will listen?

Luciano completes third game without card! Also scores nice breakaway goal.

Cory and Bob on loan to club team for next three months.

Kelly and his whites stage massive second half recovery. 2-0 blues at the midpoint. and white domination thru to full time. Philippe/Nori/Cory and Oscar contain and frustrate Berny.

Nasser @55 m, @80 m, Reza @65 m and Sam @66 m frustrate Karl's bleus. Nice work from keeper Bob, carlos, gigi, dmitri, and cory.

Support focus this week on Tarzana Dominos' general manager Marco Paredes and his bf Jennifer. she of Sylmar and Vasquez H.S., provides sideline cheer and support. Jen has done some muy tai kick boxing and Marco plays organized basketball as well. quality members of the Intersoccer family.

Club and rec soccer start Sept. 12. Watch email inbox for game instructions. We may have to change field and/game time. Some sundays we may be preempted. I'll try to keep you informed.

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.
