Fall 2010 Season

Quick update guys...

1. If you have not responded about Lone Star Park, please do so today or tomorrow. WIVES and GIRLFRIENDS are welcome.
2. Fall season starts on 8/22.
3. We have added a new player. David Ray is a Kappa Sig from UNT. Many of us went to school with D-Ray and are excited to add his talents to our team. Please welcome him in only the way that Boones United FC can.
4. We will have a few position changes this season. You can pick my brain or share your thougts at Lone Star.
5. Registration is 7/24 and 7/25. That means that I need your money. League fee is $70 each plus ref fees. $100 even should cover it. Any leftover will be applied to tasty Boones. I'm going to ask to put us in the same division.

6. We will try to start practicing around 7/18 if possible. Practice will be in Denton at a sports athletic facility that Pup works at. It's a far drive, but we are guaranteed fields and shelter for all the sissies.
7. If you haven't started running, please do so a couple times a week to help with the hammies and general fitness. We were incredibly out of shape last season.

D-Ray - I need the following information emailed to me in order to get you properly registered.
Name, DOB, Address, Home and Mobile Phone, preferred email address

See you in a little over a week.

Random Soccer Thoughts

WORLD CUP:

He doesn't get the pub of Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, or Tim Howard - but I think Michael Bradley has been so solid and a key player for Team USA in this World Cup. Someone call him to see if he wants to play for Boones in the fall.

Can you imagine how much Tim Howard would yell at me if he were the Boones United keeper. He is not shy about ripping his defenders a new one when they screw up.

I wonder if Kim Jong Il got upset when Portugal destroyed Korea 7-0.

My guess to win the World Cup before it started was The Netherlands. They have a decent shot but I need then to step it up as the tournament progresses if they are to stand a chance against the likes of Argentina, Germany, Portugal, or Brazil.

My new favorite team (other than the USA and my winner pick The Netherlands) is Uruguay. I like the way the two guys named Diego play on that team - striker Forlan (#10) and fullback Lugano (#2) play. Nice uniforms too - kinda like Boones but better with the black shorts. See image with funny looking ref.

I like the flair and skill of the Brazilian players, but I saw something absolutely ridiculous from Robinho in a recent World Cup game. He was dancing around the ball with his fake-out moves but the ball never moved - it was way over the top unnecessary. I think the defender just finally kicked him in the shin and the ball rolled out of bounds. I cheered.

I hope many of you were able to watch that USA vs Algeria game today. The USA had so many chances, near misses, and bad calls. There was so much drama and then there was the incredible finish. What a game! Kinda like when we beat Inferno Red in Plano to qualify for our one and only championship game many seasons ago.

I am ready to party and win bigtime at Lonestar Park. See y'all there.
