Hope Springs Eternal!

Guys we are struggling to gather much interest to get together for a practice over the last couple of weeks. It is vacation time and maybe it's a good thing we are taking a break. However, the start of the next part of the season will be here in only a few weeks so we do need to plan for games and practice during late July and August. Not had many suggestions for fields to practice on which seems strange. But we could try the usual list of Cox, Morgan etc. Anyone have a preference? I only had FIVE responses for playing tomorrow so that does not look likely to happen. I am out of town next weekend so someone else can have a go at trying to get you all together. I am going to start planning for games and practice starting on the 31st July and the next two weekends after that.

Hope you will be watching the Women's World Cup final tomorrow! How come our goalie doesn't look like Hope Solo??

  4. Gents too bad we are not getting enough responses on practice. We can practice on any open field (if we find one) but not many people respond on if they are even available to set something. D people would not mmke it fun for a real practice

  5. There is always pick up games on Sunday mornings at Indian River fields in Clinton and we could go there and practice. There are 3 fields there that even if we do not want to join the pick up guys we can hopefully utilize a field.
    Or in Guilford there is a field that is always open and no one uses on 77.

  14. That happen with CHile vs Venezuela too, 3 ball in the post and two saved in the line, and Venezuela attack only two times in the second half and they score one dirty goal.
    Copa America is full of surprise now Brasil out Argentina out Colombia out Chile.

  23. Tano. I would need to get a big transfer sum before releasing you! Remember you still have 25 years left on your contract with MadCelts

    ReplyDelete
  24. Johnaldo...They close today the book of transactions in Brasil, that's why Tevez and I didn't sign up and He is looking for team now. But in my case, I have to stay here, Smart A..
    And I will miss too much my QOTB, and Bruce Hughs, and El Gato and my Turkish legion.
    You can release me from the roster If you want you are the boss.:_( .
