papas and sons enjoying a friendly morning at the park.




despite warnings of dire consequences, the youth mounted continuous attacks into blues' vaunted defense. lucas broke thru in the 77th and 49th minutes eliciting ahs and oohs from the fans and fathers on hand. playing tirelessly and with no fear, young ladek gave karl's whites enough satisfaction to ameliorate the 7-4 final score. check his post game comment.
white scores from jamil, berny (2) before his injury, omar, luciano and nasser. props to karl and his teams' never give up or make excuses attitude. temps low 60s but nice. lines need to be redrawn, and pitch produced many bad hops. yellow card to luciano (persistent dissent) warning to luciano for delay of game. nice efforts from andy, junior, omar, young bierman, kelly, oscar, julio, robin, joe and tony.
NOTICE, NOTICE, NOTICE. NEXT WEEK WE MUST BE DONE WITH OUR MATCH BY
TEN A.M. REGARDLESS OF WHEN WE START. youth spring league starts.
dissent and drama level this week 1 to 10, 10 being atrocious ==6+. thanks steve and robert.

romanian connection

Early strikes by Romanians Hosu Bernhard (Berny) at 1min and Robert at 16min, along with young Nick schwarz, shake the blues into disorder and argument.



But young yasno would not hear of it, he played spirited defense and then scored two (32 min, 42 min) to make a game of it.
it remained 3-2 to igor's whites until 5 min. into stoppage time when dmitri ended what could have been an improbable but remarkable blues' recovery at 3-3.
oh the lost opportunities!
congrats to the other whites who teamed to preserve a hard fought advantage-- nori, frank, andy (slight injury), robin, bierman (solid defense), caesar (slight injury-left early), luciano (yellow card-dissent and yelling) and juan (great in net).
great job steve officiating.
final 4-2. temps great, pitch adequate.

between the storms

slightly less than friendly out there today. nipping at anothers' ankles, muttered dissent, cheap comments and arguments somewhat pervasive today but none of it came from the player who scored the first goal of the match with his position and by his head---caesar. nor was it particularly from the hat trick player luciano who was relatively quiet by his standards. and his scoring was the difference. dmitri's whites prevail 6-3. mike had a nice header for goal and andy scored as well but white was too strong. robin was strong in back again and juan saved at least 4 sure strikes to preserve their advantage. props to kelly and marco for general all round good behavior and support. and thanks to robert for assisting ref duties in second half. nori played with exuberance once more, he has soo much fun out there. would that that were true for all .

support is building!

thanks to all inter players who stepped up to support the officials during the "friendly" today. jamil's blues win it 3-2 but white team gave valiant efforts to the end. scoring as follows: for the blue team- junior 6m, and 9m first half. dmitri 13m second half. white team- young yasno 11m second half, and kelly 41m (assist yasno) also second half.

featured player of the week is yori. he's 28, he's a sushi chef, and he loves to play soccer with our group. he hopes to become one of our "regulars" soon. he has a friend who is in china now who may like to "try out" for us when he returns.

again, thanks to all who kept their composure and supported the officials on the pitch. disposition of the field problems today coming soon.

where did they all come from? nice match

nice match.
dmitri's hat trick in second period was the difference for igor and philippe's blues. and they played decent defense as well. nice job bob in goal. two early scores from french mike gave white half time lead. (tony scores blues' lone first half goal.) but then dmitri took over. other blues contributors were: oscar, corey, andy, romania, mo, romy, andrei, and nasser. White standouts included: nori, bierman, richard, khalid, robinho, fabrizio, eric, marwan, georg and young yasno captains.
yellow cards to dmitri (dissent), andrei (profanity) and red card to fabrizio (dissent and profanity). red cards of course, recieve one game suspension. persistent cards question is being addressed by the "board". further info to follow.
and what great weather! low 60's and slightly treacherous pitch but all in all, a nice game.
nice to see hussan back and thanks to bob and romania for assistance in refereeing.
see video interviews.

now that's more like it!

what a match! jamil's whites surprise the overtalented, dominating blues 4-2 on a windy and cold but exhilarating day. after 3-1 (whites ad) first half showing, blues could manage only one young yasno score (assist cory) thereafter. it was marwan's header from fabrizio's corner at 85 minutes that was the decider. sure blues had multiple opportunities in mad scrambles around the net near the end of the match but the keeper (jamil) would not allow any such business. others playing well for the victors were: georg, igor, nuri, dmitri, andy, and oscar. props to kelly's able performers: philippe, andrew, oscar, junior, marco, julio, bierman, bob, bierman, mo, robin, swiss mike and cory.
note of great importance!!! no major problems. that's right, you heard me. no screaming, no arguments, no cards, little english profanity, little dissent, few critical remarks to fellow teammates.

so i can only conclude that i was at the wrong pitch. my bad.

nice to see steve back with his friends. great seeing all the youngins' and their proficient level of play. we also witnessed quite smooth subbing transitions. we had 28 on the field today. good to see philippe with new (scoring)boots.
nuri will be gone for next week. have a nice journey.
get better franco and andrei. also thanks andrei for reffing today. good luck on your rehab.
