Game 8 Recap

Boones United seems to be in a slow motion funk. We are not losing games, however we could sure be playing much better. Game 8 - Boones 1 - Weekenders 1 Notes Brady, Peer, D-Ray, and Mickey were out. Boones had plenty of shots. We were either off target or hit their keeper in the hands. Luckily we converted on a set piece again. Excellent corner by Joel with an aggressive finish by Tutt. They scored off of a deflection in a pile up on our defensive end. Mucio had a nice group of fans. "Go Daddy" is the cheer I heard. Mucio???? Some little girl on the Weekenders sideline tried to steal Dave's soccer ball. Dave got so mad that he almost left the game and went home (actually he was just looking for his ball in the parking lot). Someone on our team made a Weekenders dude pretty mad. Then Pup jumped in and was trash talking with that a-hole. After another award-winning zinger, Pup was commended by our laughing referee for his brilliance and humor. Unfortunately, this is right when the Weekenders scored and that a-hole got all excited. Things I notice from the sidelines and while playing fullback: (1) Chad is often WIDE OPEN in the middle - trailing the offense a few feet behind the penalty box. If our outside halfbacks can cut the ball back to middle I bet Chad could rip some open shots from there. (2) Chuck and Nutz were working very well together down the left side and I am surprised that they didn't produce a goal or two. (3) We need more forwards and halfbacks in the box in front of the goal when we win throw-ins at our opponent's end. There are no offsides on throw-ins and I can sometimes throw it there o.k. I would love to see more blue jerseys in there to aim for. This is all D-Ray's fault.
