theOpolis

Tough loss last week.  The good news is, those guys were really awesome.  We really shouldn’t be playing against teams of that caliber in the 2nd lowest division.  And in other good news, we didn’t ever give up.  We scored all 3 of our goals late in the 2nd half.  And all of the goals were pretty sweet (more on that later).  

Highlights & Lowlights

We have a little more of the lowlights than the highlights this week.  Mainly because we got completely destroyed, but also because the camera ran out of batteries before we scored all 3 goals.  But, here is last week’s recap set to possibly popular music.

What I learned from the tape

• Cole might have a dangerous shot, if you give him a minute to wind up
• I have the arm of a 12 year old girl, I could barely get the ball past midfield and it always went to the other team
• We have got to get more shots on goal, the goalie made 2 saves on 10 shots in the first half, and the 2 saves were him picking the ball up

Barracudos

And this week’s Barracudos goes to drumroll sound Steffen.  After last week’s gaff, well, I believe Harry from Dumb & Dumber said it best. “Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself!”  This is Steffen’s 2nd 2-goal game, impressive.  Steffen is also the first person to score on the landrun this season, slumpbuster.  Job well done.

This Week

The team we play this week is in 1st place.  So, they are apparently better than the other 2 teams that tore us apart.  But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a shot.  Maybe this scene from Little Giants will inspire you.

The game this week is on Thursday @ 11:50pm, so rest up.
