I can't believe it, can you?! 6 games in, we are top of the league!, we are undefeated!, we have the best defensive record around! and we get to have our first home game!! Yes it's time to break out the hot dogs and Bubba burgers as we head to the Madison town beach for our first home game of the season against New Fairfield "B". They are a new team to the league and although we have played their "A" team many times this will be our first go at them. So, let's consolidate our place at the top of the table with a resounding win! Then we can head off to the beach for a nice post match celebration.
The list of menu activities will be in the comments section below as will the current role call. Please keep adding to both!
Also, Friday is the start of the World Cup! Arniestio supplied a nice graphic tracker for you to follow.... i will put this on a special Pages section above;
http://www.marca.com/deporte/futbol/mundial/sudafrica-2010/calendario-english.html
Some of us will also be out at a bar on Saturday to watch the USA play England....come along and join us. I think it's either the Moorings in Guilford or Eli's in Branford.....we can settle on which in the comments section below....... see you all soon!

I will not make the picnic as I explained in a earlier post, therefore I have removed myself and my contributions from the food list.
ReplyDeleteMy Achilles strain is improving, but I think it prudent to sit out this week... especially since we have no game next week. With 3 weeks off, I will certainly return on the 27th fully fit. I can show up to manage substitutions if needed.

I have called Eli's in Branford and Chips in Clinton. Eli's will show the game and I was told they have beer and snack specials going on during the game. Chips also said they are almost certian they will show the game as well. Let's try Eli's on Branford Hill....Ronnie's backyard
ReplyDeleteWe also need more volunteers for dogs and burgers. It seems only 2 people bringing dogs and burgers for the whole team
We also need volunteers to reserve couple of tables early in the morning with a grill
I think Eli's is the best choice versus Chips, the Moorings, etc. Thanks for doing some research, Tom.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom! Still waiting confirmation from the 2 TJs...let's see if they can volunteer for something.
ReplyDeleteWhat Bruce, Telat, Halil, Ilhan volunteering for?
ReplyDeleteI am sure Bruce will bring some food and I am waiting for his email. He would love to be the grill chef too. I will update the menu as soon as I hear from him.
ReplyDeleteHaill, Telat and Ilhan will bring food.

So much for keeping it simple!
ReplyDeleteJodingo!! A nice thunderstorm on the day will keep it very simple!
ReplyDeleteOk, so it looks like Eli's on Saturday! I'm gonna get there by 2 ish to claim a beer and a seat!
Bambi
ReplyDelete15 guys plus maybe 10 significant others... though in a few greedy doubles and you could get to about 30?....just a guess
Roniildo & BOR will be there too
ReplyDeletecool..... and Jodingo!! ?
ReplyDeleteBambi don't listen to the imposter, he/she can't even spell my name properly
ReplyDeleteshut it Ramsay! I'm from the non Rangers side called Ramsey!!
ReplyDeleteRoniildo.... New Fairfield "B" probbaly don't have any Brazilians....or if they do, they are really really bad!
ReplyDeleteThey are 7th in the league having played 6 games, of which they have won only 1 and lost 5! They have only scored 5 goals in total.... we cannot lose to them or we deserve to be shot! or at least eat one less bubba burger!
Johnaldo:
ReplyDeleteWe do better without said anything about how is the other Team we consider they are Good and we play better.
This reflection is consider how we did last week, what you think, are you agreed?
Argentina Play in the morning 10 am depends how they do I'll be there can you give me the name I'm little confuse where you be sitting.
Game Start at 2:30 pm.
Is this place?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.elisonwhitney.com/main.php
Tano....i agree... i don't mean to belittle the other team...it's just that i have an expectation..... like i woould expect Argentina to beat Nigeria??.... they still have to work hard to do it though!
ReplyDeleteTano
ReplyDeletethis is where we will be on Saturday.... hope to see you there with 3 Argentinian points in te bag!
http://www.elisonthehill.com/
I will be at Elli's for the first half only. Other arrangement to take care of "like taking picture of the prom bohy"
ReplyDeleteEl Gato.... you could still sink a few pints by then!
ReplyDeleteI see, is the Elis on the Hill is just 10 min from my house.
ReplyDeleteI see you there with my Argetinian Shirt or The Celtic one.
I think Nigeria would make a surprise (keeping discretion on Arg. powers)
Guys, there is an outside chance I'll make a showing Sunday, though probably can't stay but for a quick beer afterward, though sounds like it will be a good time....
ReplyDeleteHey Gordon RamsEy, that's a bit excessive, don't you think ;-)
ReplyDeleteTANO, might be safer with the Argentinian shirt. Might be a lot of US venting v Brits if things go wrong on Saturday because of BP fiasco in the gulf!
Arniesto, try to make the game, even 1st half...beats the drive to Coventry for the SCP game :-)
Goggelitto is IN!! Waiting to hear back from LaBoca.

Judgemeister...ru in the wilderness w/o phone or laptop? We need you on Sunday!!!
I'll be at Eli's on the Hill at 2ish tmoro.
ReplyDeleteAnd solo to the game on Sunday....my Colombian amiga bagged me Sunday for a night in Manhattan. Who in their right mind would pass on a Madison Celtic game for boring Manhattan???
Btw, Germany vs. Australia at 2:30 on Sunday....
ReplyDeleteJodingo!!....I can't believe a young attractive South American girl would give up Madison Celtic for a night of fun in Manhattan... make no sense
ReplyDeletejodingo!!...that's just not right
ReplyDeleteShakira, You were muy caliente a noche....reminds me of when I saw you in Baranquilla! And, I know you would chose to come to a Madison game over Manhattan.....
ReplyDeleteEl Gato (field coordinotor extraordinaire) r we 100% set with Exchange for Sunday?
ReplyDeleteI will be at Eli's tomorrow to claim a beer and a seat too.
ReplyDelete2010 WORLD CUP IS OFFICIALLY OPEN
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK FOR ALL THE TEAMS
FAIR PLAY AND PEACE
SINCERELY RUBEN T.
(Argentina rep. in the blog)
Go Oranje'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteusted es un chico malo Jodingo!!
ReplyDeleteGo Bafana! Bafana!
ReplyDeleteShakira....You should know, "You got the peso, you got the say so!!"
ReplyDeleteYo prefiero el amor al dinero!
ReplyDeleteO quizás deberÃa decir, yo prefiero el amor, no el dinero!
ReplyDeleteIt's all pillowtalk to me, Shakira!
ReplyDeleteI will bring som burgers to go with the buns... should also be at the pub tomorrow.. looking forward to Wazza's first red card.
ReplyDeleteBambi
I'm a bit worried about the weather forecast for Sunday.... we will have to watch the skies!
ReplyDeleteBambi..... some Man U fan you are!
ReplyDeleteforecast is predicting rain in the morning but just cloudy by kick off..... what are the stupid town rules again?
ReplyDeleteI think the "stupit" town rule is "If it rains in the morning and then is just cloudy by kickoff, then the field is not to be used."
ReplyDeleteRSA's first goal of the WC was beautiful (but wasn't enough to prevent a tie)
ReplyDeletehey Jodingo!! some of us are in DVR mode for the World Cup!
ReplyDeleteOh, guess you won't be too excited watching that game then! Lo siento, Shak!
ReplyDeleteSA 1 Meheco 1
ReplyDeleteFran 0 URUG 0
Fran was frustrated....good defense by URUG
Guys please,
ReplyDeleteNo score telling as John said, some of us rely on our DVRs
anyone getting up at 7.30 am to watch Greece vs South Korea?
ReplyDeleteMe I'm getting up in 5 hs. why Johnaldo?
ReplyDeleteAnother day of exiting games
ReplyDeleteTano.... you don't sleep much! Watching the game but won't mention any goals scored in case Jodingo!! has the game on his DVR....
ReplyDeleteMr. Roniildo (and Mr. Jodingo too)-I am indeed very sorry that I will not be able to join you to watch the soccer match today. I did not take my trip to the US as planned. Very exciting news for me.....I will sing for the Pope in the fall! I must not engage in certain activities that might put my at risk for potentially unlady-like behavior in preparation for his visit! Perhaps after this is over, we could try again, where I won't feel as restricted.....
ReplyDeleteTano... have you got your face paint on yet? Argentina coming up!
ReplyDeleteSusan....sorry you can't make it.... having to choose between the Pope and Jodingo!! .....that's tough!
ReplyDeleteHaHa Johnaldo
ReplyDeleteNow is time of the true now........will see.
see you guys at the bar at 2pm....some really good games today already!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I get for picking a draw in the poll?!
ReplyDeleteAlso: will Madison close the field in any rain situation, or only significant rain? How early will we know, so I can plan accordingly in the morning. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteArniesto! Give yourself a pat on the back!
ReplyDeleteFor once, a British spill that the US likes!
I think BOR or El Gato will be checking tomorrow morning before 8 am.... I will post on the blog if the game is on or off.... if someone tells me!
ReplyDeleteforecast says only 10% chance of rain from 8am onwards, althought its showering in Guilford right now..... still waiting to hear from our Rainmen
ReplyDeleteSo are we on or not?
ReplyDeleteFOR THOSE OF YOU STILL READING THIS COMMENT STREAM..... GAME IS ON!!
ReplyDeletei posted a new article at 8am.... refresh your page or click on home at the pages section
