I don’t know about you guys, but I really thought we had turned a corner.  I was expecting it to be all wins from here on out.  Probably got a little ahead of myself, right?  The truth is, we aren’t far from being a decent team.  We just need to keep tweaking things each week.  Here is what I took away, after watching the game tape.

• Our new guys are coming along nicely
• Outside of Matt, our defense is AWFUL.  This week, we should try marking up, instead of playing a zone
• I’m putting myself on the PUD List (Physically Unable to Defend).  I could’ve made an entire highlight reel of me getting burned or just standing around, looking clueless.  I’ll do better
• Steffen is no longer allowed to take free kicks on our side of the field, when the game is on the line and no one is nearby to pass to except for the best player on the other team (zoom, zoom, zoom!)

And the moment you’ve all been waiting for, this weeks highlights.

Favorite part, Cole dropping the jukie at the end and smoking that guy.  You see the focus in his eyes!?

Barracudos

Thanks to Mr. Doonkeen’s brilliant and punny mind, we have a new way of recognizing an MVP each week.  This week, Barracudos goes out to Kurtis.  He scored 2 clutch goals that made the game level before we let it slip away right at the end.  One of them was a nice header off of a completely accidental nice touch pass from Steffen.  The other was off a rebound from a nice free kick from Corey.  Job well done Kurtis.

Our Next Game

A game before 10pm!? CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY THIS YEAR!!  Seriously though, it looks like this should be a decent team this week.  The game is at 9:55pm on Wednesday.  Read over the bullet points above (mostly just about not playing zone) and we should have a good chance at winning.
