Fried Boones,
A quick recap of yesterday’s game.
OUT: Brady, Chad, Tutt, and Preston
First of all, our new uniforms are awesome. We looked really good. We didn’t really play that well, but we looked good.
I think it was 105 degrees at kick-off (heat index of 110 or so). The heat was draining for both teams. Boones started off o.k. in the first half – Dawg made some great saves and our forwards and half backs were making their fullbacks look silly at times. We scored first when Pup dribbled the ball past 8 of their player and 5 of our players and then drilled his shot in the back of the net. We had quite a few more opportunities in the first half but could not get our shots on target.
Boones 1 – Real Suburbia at halftime.
The second half was a lot of the same stuff that happened in the first half. Quite a few opportunities, but we could not get our shots on target. Clay was really close late in the second half, but his shot hit the cross bar. Unfortunately the defense had a few screw-ups and Real Suburbia put together a few nice shots. The first goal was my fault. They sent a through ball to pony-tail guy and I was a little slow to react. Plus I had suffered a Grade 1 thigh strain (according to the internet) earlier in the second half so my make-up speed was not quite there. Plus I am not very good at soccer. Anyway, pony-tail guy made a nice left footed shot to the far post just out of the reach of Dawg. Boones 1 – Real Suburbia 1. There were quite a few more close calls – like the ball hitting my chest as I was guarding the post on a corner kick – in the second half as Real Suburbia was putting on the pressure. Their best player number 11 scored their second goal with a very nice header off of a corner. Someone Guard That Guy!!!!
After a late push by our offense (Big Dave was dominating people) we just couldn’t get the shot we needed on goal. Game over. Real Suburbia 2 – Boones 1.
This is all Chad’s fault! I hope you drafted the best fantasy football team of all time.

I was proud of the effort and how you guys managed the heat. Standing in the goal made me feel pretty guilty about not being able to run around with you. Here are a few observations:
ReplyDelete1. Pup's goal looked like Diego Maradona as he shredded the defense.
2. At times, our passing looked fantastic.
3. Stu Brown had a couple very nicely placed shots that their goalie made a good play on.
4. It seemed like more of our shots were on goal than normal. This is good.
5. Uniforms looked awesome.
6. Bent was kicking the S out of the ball.
7. Mucio can add fullback to his soccer resume.
8. We almost killed D-Ray in his debut by making him run that much.
9. If I see Nutz on the right midfield spot again, I will run down the field and personally supplant my foot on his taint, with love of course. No switching Franchise.
10. We play that team tough and should have won the game.
