NEXT GAME; Sunday June 10th, Orange!

Our next game is a biggy! It's against one of our great rivals from last year, Orange.  We had four very eventful games against them last year in Div 3 winning one, drawing one and losing two. The two games we lost showed that Orange are a great team and ended up deserved champions. They are also doing well in the new division and will be another tough test for us. This is a team that understands how to rattle us. When we were unbeaten in Division 3 and top of the league we played Orange and they had a game plan to unsettle us and get our more "emotional" players to react......and they did! We need to control our emotions and try and play with a plan. Shouting and abusing your team mates is not one of the good tactics..... unless you have a very nice British accent.....!
John B has some great ideas that I hope he will let me share with the team. We do need  a set of game tactics to help us negotiate the ins and outs of  a tough game.  We cannot hope for random luck to get us a win. We have really good players and when we get them linked up as a team I think we will be very competitive in this league!
Let's do our best this Sunday.....if we get a good result against Orange we will be back on track in the league.

This is a home game with a 9am kick off!

Beer boys are Carlos and Jorge.....!!

  8. It promised to be a dramatic evening and it was a dramatic evening as the
    two CSSA State Cup Finals were played out at Tunxis Mead in Farmington, CT.

    The first match was the Over-40 State Cup Final starring Cheshire Azzurri
    SC (SASL First Masters League Division) and Norwalk Mariners SC (SASL
    Masters League Second Division), a true David and Goliath contest. After
    90 minutes of regulation time, this game went into 30 minutes extra time
    ("overtime"), which ended 1-1 after a total of 120 minutes (plus any time
    added on for injuries and substitutions) of open play. It had to be
    resolved by the dreaded penalty kick "shoot out," the "lottery" as many
    would call it in football. At this point, any team could win it. It's
    either a moment of brilliant skill, a moment of anxiety, a moment of steady
    nerves, or just plain good luck, or bad luck. This time, Norwalk Mariners
    SC would overcome all of those moments and emotions, winning on penalty
    kicks, 4-3.

    Match Summary: Cheshire Azzurri SC 1, Norwalk Mariners 1 (after extra
    time). Norwalk Mariners win 4-3 on penalty kicks.

  10. Quote from the Brazil vs Argentina game;

    Neymar was unable to score a goal of his own, even though Pele has said he is better than Messi. "Maybe Neymar is the best player in the world," responded Maradona, "but only if you say that Messi is from a different planet."
