Fall Season '09

Sept 13: v Dark Blue L 2-1
Sept 20: v Yellow L 3-1 (win by forfeit)
Sept 27: v Light Blue L 7-1 (win by forfeit)
Oct 4: v Orange W 3-2
Oct 11: Bye... 7 or 8 Green Team members played w/ a few Light Blue and beat Orange 7-0.
Oct 18: v Yellow L 3-1
Oct 25: v Orange W 5-0
Nov 1: v Light Blue W 5-1

Without counting the bye week, we had 17 goals for and 16 against. That's not a bad result for a team that could only score 3 in the first 3 games. In retrospect, even w/o the forfeits, we had a pretty strong season. If we'd put our scoring boots on from the beginning, things would look a lot different. Counting the bye week, we finished w/ 4 wins and 4 losses, but after starting 0-3, that's a pretty good turn around. See you all in the spring... have a good winter.

I created a new page with player profiles this morning... enjoy... and let's be sure to get together to watch a few games this winter.

Spring Season

It was just brought to my attention that the first game is this weekend, April 19th. The Canton Soccer Club site suggests we're now playing at Heritage Park, so be there at 4:30 to register. I'll see you all there and don't forget about the USA v Honduras match in Chicago June 6th!

Champions!

I brought the camera to the final match which capped off our championship season w/ a formidable 9-1 victory. It was then put to good use afterwards at the Crow's Nest... here's the best of the pictures.

If you aren't signed up for a beer night and you plan to drink, let me

know on which night to place you... preferably the 5th or the 26th

In other news: There are World Cup Qualifiers coming up... we should

think about a time when we can meet up at a bar and watch a match

Match Day 11 @ Conor O'Neill's

Group D, "the group of Death" in Euro 08 has their final games on Tuesday so people are meeting to watch them @ Conor O'Neill's @ 2:30. The Netherlands have already clinched 1st place in the group, but 2nd lace is up in the air. If Romania beat the Dutch 2nd string, they're through, but if not it will then come down to the Italy v France match.
