Our next game will be a top of the league match against Milford Magic. Milford sit proudly at the top of the CARLS League after 5 games having won 4 and drawn 1. Madison Celtic are only 2 points behind the leaders in third place. The stats show that Madison have the best defence in the league losing only 3 goals so far. Milford are not far behind with a loss of only 5 goals which implies the game could be won in a low scoring 1-0 or 2-1 type of game. But maybe the historic stats tell us something different? We have played the Magic many times of the last few years and they have always been good competitive games. Since the Fall 2007 season our record against them has been the following;Played 6, Won 3, Lost 2, Drawn 1, Scored 17, Against 13
These stats would imply that we should win this game 3-2!!
Here is another interesting stat to consider; if you take the last two games of the Fall 2009 season and the first 5 games of this season we now have gone 7 games undefeated! 5 wins and 2 draws.....no pressure guys!
A top of the league clash, with an undefeated run on the line!
We may need some beers after this one.....who is doing that?
Roll call will continue in the comments section below.
"Practice Tonight at Calvin Leete"
ReplyDeleteHello every one!!
I wonder if some one want to practice like an hour and 1/2 before Sunday,
There is two days of practice at the same place, but the difference is, Wednesday we are like 8 or 10 at least and Thursday we are like 24 or 30 (too crowd ) for a small field.
that's why I invite you to play tomorrow.
Roniildo can you tell Hallil If he can show up tomorrow too instead of Thursday?
We start at 6PM
El Gato I like to contact Danny or Dejan For helping in coaching for free you have the contact list, or can you ask for me.

Hello All,
ReplyDeleteThe USASA National Cup Region I semi-finals were played this holiday weekend.
Danbury United 4, Bristol Italians 2 (half-time 4-1)
On Monday, Danbury United showed why they have been Region I Champions in the past two years and have now reached their third successive final, although at the expense of another Connecticut team who entered the National Cup for the first time this year.
Danbury didn't spend much time messing about, they were 1-0 up within the first 30 seconds and were 3-0 up within the first 20 minutes giving Bristol an absolute mountain to climb. Bristol did get one back, but Danbury scored another before half-time.
With nothing to lose Bristol piled on the pressure in the second half, but Danbury were happy to protect their lead. Bristol did manage to score again midway through the second half, but after that Danbury held tight and fast as Bristol tried to get back into the game, never giving up.
So our congratulations go to Danbury, but also huge respect and commiserations to Bristol.
In the other semi-final on Sunday, it was virtually a non-contest:
United SC (DC/VA) 8, Wallace FC (DE) 1
The USASA National Cup Region I Championship Final will be:
Danbury United versus United SC (DC/VA)
The match will be played on Sunday, June 27th, kick-off at 11:30 AM, at The United German Hungarian Club Stadium Field at 4666 Bristol Road, Oakford, PA 19053.
All of Connecticut will be hoping Danbury can win the championship again, go onto the "final four" for the third straight year and this time bring home the National Cup for Connecticut.
Danbury United's successes in the USASA National Cup this past three years have brought national attention to soccer in Connecticut and the level they play at is demonstrated to be amongst the best at Over-30 soccer in the United States.
Excellent use of the stats johnaldo. Sunday's clash should be a doozy, so don't miss it guys :-)) So far we have:

ADD NAME TO GROWING LIST IF YOU ARE PLAYING!!
I still have some beer left over from last time, so I'll bring that. Tom-A volunteered last time to bring beer to magic game.
Saw Scottie last weekend at tournament, and he is looking forward to coming over to our next home game!
Tano, I'll let Halil know about tonight's practice...
Thanks, Roniildo.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know, when I'm out otherwise I'm in for all the games and practices.
Tano
ReplyDeletei hope i can get to practice tonight... see you there!
Roniildo
ReplyDeleteThat would be great to see Scottie if he turned up for a beer
Roniildo.... i don't think TANO likes the roll call! He is in, unless he is not....and i guess there are at least 9 of us that are always in unless we are not..... trouble is i would be nervous not knowing unless we asked.... does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteI noticed that on the CASRL discipline site we only have 2 players on the list for yellow cards...! Fribeka for unsporting behavior and Roniildo for dissent!

ReplyDeleteI'm still out bhoys....healing well, but don't want to return too early. I wish I could though for this game....we always play well against Milford. Play hard and good luck!
ReplyDeleteJodingo!! Hope you can make it for our first home game next week!
ReplyDeleteMaybe as a spectator!
ReplyDeleteJodingo!! you could be Annie's assistant for photos etc
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, if the weather looks good for our first home game, we should plan a cookout (simple one with dogs and burgers....not the smorgasbord-style of last year...we'll 'save' that for another day!)
ReplyDeleteJodingo!! i agree...a little cookout would be great.... we can start organizing next week when we get a clearer idea of the weather
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I'm out for this one. My mom's ill-in ICU in upstate NY--doctors guardedly optimistic..., and I need to be there this weekend. Best of luck everyone.
ReplyDeletesorry to here that Arnie.... hope all goes well
ReplyDeleteI'd luv to be Annie's assistant...I'd let her use my lens...

ReplyDeleteEl Gato, Re. home game and WC game: Perfect opportunity to cookout and watch the game...it could be an all day Celtic event! All we need now is Stu to take La Boca and El Flaco out on his boat with his girls...

Tano pick you up Sunday at 9am
ReplyDeleteTano.... i hope u guessed her size right!

(I hope Referees don't visit our blog)
nice socks.... i think i got the right size..... Bambi's were big deer socks...... i hope refs to go to the blog but don't worry if they do....they usually can't read or can't see!
ReplyDeleteTano-thank you! that is too nice of you....I also asked Johnaldo to get me one when you guys were all putting in your orders...you know...so I could look official....but not sure if he found one for me?
ReplyDeleteAnnie.... let me check.... i was very busy getting big shorts and socks for the team...may have got one for you too.... hopefully i got you a shirt and not a pair of big shorts!
ReplyDeleteIf i did, then you will have a shirt for home games and one for away games!
Yes, I definitely do not need a pair of big shorts!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteAnnie...sorry...didn't realize you had plenty.... LOL
ReplyDeleteYou welcome Annie.

ReplyDeleteTano-I'm telling you, it's the horizontal stripes! But let me see what my editing software can do. ;o)

ReplyDeletemissing practice tonight, but perhaps tomorrow.
Jodingo!! Coming on Sunday for support?..If we bea them we're top of the table. Will check in with LaBoca et al tomorrow. He has been very quiet lately...may have to think of a new name!
Johnaldo, TANO doesn't like to add to list, but I do. Like to see the big squad right in front of my eyeballs. Builds confidence for Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLet's plan the dogs and bubbas (in respect of Scottie) for the first home match!
Tano
ReplyDeletepractice was good fun tonight... you and Halil were in great form!
yes Indeed Good practice today with Hallil and Johnaldo and
ReplyDeletethree more new guys that want to join us very in shape and strong mid-fielders may be ready for next SASL league? what do you think Johnaldo?
Roniildo: I just want to make more easy the blog but like you and Johnaldo say is good point to see the list how is growing, no big deal keep in mind when you start the list I'm all ways in .
sounds like great fun at practice, and the possibility of new good mid fielders wanting to join us. did we get names ans are they serious?
ReplyDeleteTANO you are at the top of my list every week now!
Thank You, Roniildo.
ReplyDeleteI hope that my desire and passion for the team will make us more united.
(I'm sound like a Salesmen motivated class now).
About the player we talk about latter, but they practice every weeks thats why they are in shape.
I 'll be at practice tonight assuming there is no rain
ReplyDeleteTano,

TANO....Let's talk about the players that want to join on Sunday.... one of them told me he would love to play for us!
ReplyDeleteRon, are all the SASL ID cards all set? I will bring the waiver release forms this Sunday to be mailed.
ReplyDeleteWe have 20 on the SASL roster now. We could use these new players.
ReplyDeleteI should be there Sunday! There's a kid event in Milford that we are attending (12-4PM), but I've been given the ok to go play, at least until 11:30!
ReplyDeleteSorry Johnaldo the I didn't respond you quickly but I was playing to night at Calvin School with Tom and Halil(he has serious cut on is right shin I hope he can play Sunday)
ReplyDeleteand I went there biking from my house, but when I get back it getting dark soon so I just make half way to home.That way I respond you too late.
So about your question, Yes we can talk with those Guys about it, also some guys of Guilford Hawks may want to move to our Team if we ask them too, but we talk on Sunday.
BTW: if Some one want number and name on his shirt Xtreme charge me $ 12. to $ 15

Goggelitto anf the Judge r out of town this week. who is El Flaco?
El Gato: After Annie said that pics are fine and everybody blame on the Horizontal stripes I blame it on my laziness, thats why I try to do some extra work out.
ReplyDeleteRoniildo el Flaco es Carlos. Any signal of Dejan?
I'm out this weekend. I picked up a niggling Achilles strain while training last weekend, and it hasn't progressed to the point of being able to play effectively. I'll rest it this upcoming week in the hope I can return next week. Kick some ass on Sunday bhoys!
ReplyDeleteso we just have to hear from Carlos ( El Flaco ) and Jorge....I am presuming Dejan is still injured but would be great to have him doing the coaching again!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a series of thunderstorms on Sunday.... not sure what Milfords rain policy is....
hope Halil is ok.... he was showing some good form in practice!
ReplyDeleteTano-it is the stripes, but I can't be dissing the Hoops anymore or Johnaldo will revoke my press privledges.
ReplyDeleteBut, you asked me to do some photoshop work, which I will and post in the last album for you. :o) will let you know when it's up there!
Thank you Thank you Annie
ReplyDeleteSee you Sunday.(if is not raining)
BOR, you need to take better care of yourself better. We need you on the field...
ReplyDeleteTano, any chance of bringing the new guys that are interested? we're light on player, and this is a big game for us
signing off for a while...see you Sunday
TomA and Brucey have got the beer under control?
Ronnie,
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget any new player to show up has to be registered with the league.
Rain forcast also for out home game.
Roniildo....new players can't just turn up on the day of a game....need to be registered, then there is a 10 day wait....has this other new guy Safet gone past his 10 days...will he be there Sunday..... if it RAINS on Sunday what is Milford policy? I'm sure i've played down there before in a downpour....Tom A or El Gato any view on this?
ReplyDeleteLike John said....we can't have any new players to show up. you need to talk to me please and plus we need to know who these players are first. let's not to get too hasty and we will talk more about it on Sunday. We have a new player starting with us this Sunday (Safet) and some of you may know him.
ReplyDeleteRuben and Halil....good practice last night...hope Halil is ok for Sunday...Ruben you should be in a good shape after biking for 12 miles after the practice last night....all the power to you. Hope the Sunday is not a washout...

Tom will u do the rain chat with the Milford manager Sunday morning? I would play in the rain if they are OK with it
ReplyDeleteJonaldo,
ReplyDeleteHave no control over CARSL away field. Tom is the contact for now. I think we (The Madison Fields)are the only "Anal Town" as far as the rain goes.....
El Gato
ReplyDeletejust trying to work out our system for alerting the team tomorrow..... i guess the Milford manager would call Tom if they think it's "too rainy" ? Hopefuly they are ok to be playin the rain.... it would be good to play tomorrow.... any word from Carlos or Jorge?
Annie...thanks for not dissing the hoops again.... 3 strikes and?
ReplyDeleteBe careful about the photoshopping though
.... the guys will be requesting all sorts of photographic enhancements!
good win for the US over Oz today!
ReplyDeleteGuys, I know you can't just show up off thestree to play! I figured these guys were previously registered with the Guilford club, and with the power of e-mail we could register add them to the roster within a day or so. Thanks for the 10 day wait rule. I either didn't know about it or forgot about it. No further clarification needed!
Tom A calls Carlos usually, so what;s the word coach?
TomA.. I repeatedly ask you for Astrit status and contact info. Can you please send me his cell# and email!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TomA...how about calling them tonight and rendering a decision to the blog tonight..Milford fields are decent so unless it is a monsoon I don't see why we would not play? Another + about moving to SASL...rain is not a factor, as most of the world plays in the rain, and it is a lot of fun to do so!
ReplyDeletesee you guys there! I'm assuming game on unless Tom calls
ReplyDeleteIt rained hard tonight but hopefully we are still good to go. If no hear by 8 am we should be good to go.
ReplyDeleterain in northern CT.... but it looks like the shoreline area will get the worst of it later today.... hopefully we will be fine....
ReplyDeleteI will start driving down to Milford at 830 unless i hear anything different
I'm 10 miles from that place and is sunny some showers in the afternoon so we cool see you there.
ReplyDeleteGato are you passing by my house?
What time. I'm just 15min from the field.
Tano....great! see you on the field.... i have socks for you!
ReplyDeleteTano, pick you up at 9
ReplyDeletegreat win guys! report later tonight!~
ReplyDeleteForgot my big black umbrella at the pitch! did anyone pick it up? Great win! we still need to sort out our subbing - there was confusion in the midfield in the second half in term of player/position! no damage today but in a close game???
ReplyDelete
