NEXT GAME: Sunday 24th Oct, Albanian Eagles!

It's our last official game of 2010! Yes, it's nearly time for a break so we can allow our bodies to recharge before the indoor season starts. We have been playing non stop since April storming to the CARSL Division B championship ( with 3 games to spare!! ) then joining the SASL Div 3 and positioning ourselves in the top 3 in a very competitive league.

During that period we have played 21 games , won 13 , drawn 7 and lost only 1 ! It's a great record by any standard and we have a chance to finish the year off in style by getting 3 points in our final league game of the Fall. We are home to the Albanian Eagles who proved they could be tricky opponents when we played them in August. We fell two goals behind before coming back to gain a point in a 2-2 draw. They have a couple of fast forwards but their defence is suspect.

We need a good turnout for this game and i know we have a number of players carrying injuries or will be absent this Sunday.

  6. Roniildo...any more clues to your "code"? Is it a code that changes letters into numbers?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I tried that with the letters on the phone and didn't get me anywhere....

    ReplyDelete
  8. Are we still going with the rule you do not show up on time you do not start?

    ReplyDelete
  9. El Gato

  10. 30% chance of few showers for Sunday

    ReplyDelete
  11. Any more interest for team meeting? Good food... It would probably run around $30 a person and I have to make reservations depend on number of people.... It would be BYOB and I can supply the wine (we share the cost). Let me know please by Sunday so I can make arrangements....

    ReplyDelete
  12. El Gato what day are you thinking of again?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Any day from Sunday to Thursday.... Friday and Saturday its too busy

    ReplyDelete
  14. I personally prefer Tuesday but I am game with majority....

    ReplyDelete
  15. I predict MOM for this Sunday would be Johnaldo since all other three trip returnees got the MOM for the past three weeks :-)

    ReplyDelete
  16. El Gato:
    Johnaldo is always the MOM(manager of managers)
    In our team we have a lot of managers but he defiantly is the MOM . ;P

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yo, yo! Looks like a thin squad for tomorrow.. Not sure Flaco and Jorge They are on their own for home games.

    ReplyDelete
  44. wear your long sleeve jersey's its going to be chili....

    ReplyDelete
  45. ...............LaBoca u said last Sunday u were available tomorrow, so hopefully that has not changed...

    ReplyDelete
  46. ...............Jodingo!! did you call them this week?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sorry to be out of touch this week. Plans kept changing with kids' games. Turns out I'm on duty to take all 3 kids to games today, so won't be able to make it.

    ReplyDelete
  48. ................only 12 guys today for a hugely important match????????????

    no word from LaBoca, Jorge, Carlos Safet.

    ReplyDelete
  49. ........Jodingo!!, probably worth calling Carlos and co even for home games. i understand they drive themselves for the home games

    ReplyDelete
  50. I bought too much beverage for only 12 guys!

    ReplyDelete
  51. ..............i'm sure we will give a good try :-)

    ReplyDelete
  52. i thought Jorge and Carlos were going to play.... but who knows.... oh well

    ReplyDelete
  53. Celtic 1 Rangers 0 at Half Time

    ReplyDelete
  54. .............i'm inspired now 1-0

    i thought Jodingo!! was herding, even for home games...see you soon

    ReplyDelete
  55. Celtic lose 3-1 and we tie 5-5! what a freakin bad day!@

    ReplyDelete
  56. .........Guys, we're still undefeated in almost a year. Reliable Goggoliito will be back for 2nd half of the seaon, and our defense will be solid. We have a couple of new guys who want to try out, plus Altigan will be available or the 2nd half. I was sad today because our heads beat us yet again...when we can control ourselves we will have an awesome team to compete in SASL.
    P.S. El Scottie, if you still read the blog, and there is any chance you can come back (even on limited basis!) to dominate in midfield, give me or Johnaldo a call.....miss you!

    ReplyDelete
  57. .......hey DannyX, just a 30 sec call would be cool. Needed you today in D. I know you are coaching and busy, but a lot of your team mates in the same boat! Don't blow me off with zero communication. YES or NO on blog or 5 sec call to my cell works just fine. You told usd last Sunday you would play today, and them no show no call. Thanks Bud...............

    ReplyDelete
  58. .........El Gato, hope we can cordinate team dinner for a week on Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  59. ......................enjoy the rest of the weekend bhoys..LOL

    ReplyDelete
  60. Thanks roniildo. Not much of it left!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Guilford drew with Branford so we are only 5 points behind both them and Orange. We can catch both of them next year . We are still in the hunt!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Roniildo. You are right. Our team will be much stronger in the Spring!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Another game with 10 goals, very very entertained and unforgettable.
    sit down and click here

    ReplyDelete
  64. Wow. 10 zip!! That is some result!

    ReplyDelete
  65. ........Johnaldo, thanks for the update on our competition... great result for us. If I only took the ball round their keeper at the end today it would only be 2 points. I am personally starting a fitness crusade for the 2nd half of the season. When I look back, today and other games, more speed would have cleaned their clocks big time...With Gogiliito back as anchor in the back, I can't wait for April.... In the meantime, we'll get set fot indoor in January at the sportsplex.....

    We have a bunch of injuries..Johnaldo, Fribeka.....Tpink (what happened to you you today....no communication???. Let's have a great time at the team dinner a week from Friday....LOL

    Anniesta...thanks for the support today!

    ReplyDelete
  66. .......meant to mention... with DS back next session with Goggo & altigan, we'll be so awesome...be proud bhoys!!!It's been a heck of 12 months...NO?

    ReplyDelete
  67. We should've been celebrating Johnaldo's birthday yesterday...it's tomorrow the 26th!

    The game yesterday was disappointing to say the least! A few highlights followed by complete breakdowns.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Happy Birthday Johnaldo....
    Yes team meeting/end of season party/dinner will be on Friday November 5th at 6:45 (so everyone can get there on time) at Saray Turkish Resturant in West Haven. We want all to participate if possible. This would be for all players including part time players. Let's make it a big bash... Since advance reservation is required I need to know the full head count by end of this week please. Its going to be BYOB so anybody who wants to drink bring a bottle of wine. If want one person to bring the drinks and share the cost with meal that could be arranged to.looking forward to see all there. Please respond on blog if you are in. An email will be send to non-bloggers.
    Head count for dinner:
    El Gato
    Johnaldo
    Roniildo
    Jodingo

  69. Hey guys,
    Just read the result. Great season and congrats!

    Sorry if my status was unclear. Last week after the match I said I had Mr Mom duty all weekend and was doubtful. As it was, we (my son and I) could not make it. I feel badly.

  70. El Gato

    the dinner will also be a PRIZEGIVING NIGHT!! Please turn up to celebrate our championship winning season in CARSL!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Voting has started for the best defender of the CARSL Season! This is not for our SASL season.... we will do that next year!

    Match report will be posted later tonight

    ReplyDelete
  72. El Gato, Let's just plan on BYOB. Makes it simpler and easier.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That would be fine Jodingo,
    So bring whatever alcoholic beverage you want to drink. Hard or soft.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Roniildo:
    You got the point my friend.
    Be on shape is the key to feel secure at the field.
    Look Carlos, how he run all game and pass some opponent so easy.
    Also with more stamina, we can made more pressure. Again, I saw Carlos at front how by pressure, he stole the ball from the last defender (when he missed the goal and I was at his left side).
    And personaly I will practice my shots on tiredness way because is a big difference kick the ball after you make a sprint run.
    So, good reflection Roniildo.

  75. Tano Carlos only weighs about 110 lbs.... my dog is heavier!

    ReplyDelete
  76. No Tano he means it. Johnaldo's dog, Cujo, weighs as much as Carlito....

    ReplyDelete
  77. El Gato:
    Then we can see a real example of osmosis.
    And Cujo is in process to complete 100%, if he start to drink ale Sierra Nevada.
