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.

Last Game
Guys,
We play the Rangers this week. They have forfeited two games this season. Being the last game of the year and that they are in last place, I'm curious to see if they will show. I will contact our commissioner for more information.

Son of a Gun!
We lost to Northside Arsenal again. This time 2-0.
We started the game with some defensive players running a little late. There were some traffic issues in the metroplex that caused consfusion and delay. The starting fullbacks were Pele Julio, Mickey, Georgie, and Todd. Preston, Brett, and Tutt eventually found their way to the field.
Boones started the game poorly. We gave up a goal during this early game confusion when Northside Arsenal had the ball on offensive. The Boones defense could not clear the ball out and the ball ended up rolling perfectly in the middle for a charging Northside Arsenal halfback. His shot was low and in the corner - just out of Bent's reach. We were down 1-0.
In what is becoming a horrible trend in this Spring 2010 season, the next goal we gave up was a blocked shot that was not secured or cleared and Northside Arsenal put back the deflection.
We were down 2-0.
We could not get much going on offensive. Some pressure - but most of our shots were off target. We played better defense in second half and Bent had some really good saves. We ran our plan in the second half by trying to work the wings, but for whatever reason we could never really generate any solid chances.
Quick Hits: This is all Chad's sick ace fault. I think that turf was 50% grass and 50% wax - I was sliding all over the place. Northside Arsenal had 10 subs and some of their slow guys didn't even get to play. I said in a previous blog that I would like to play Northside Arsenal again with Tutt, Dave, and Brady. What the hell happened? Don't forget about our mid-week game this week - we play Baron United Thursday night at 8:45 pm Premier Park. By the way, Darkhorse beat Baron yesterday. Todd got a yellow card for pulling down Northside Arsenal soccer guy's shorts. I think Brady might have received a yellow card too. It looked like the ref either warned or gave Brady and that Northside Arsenal defender a yellow card for constantly bumping into each other. Mucio is having a party soon. I think that ref had a Scottish accent. Joel - how did the Mav's do?
We suck.

From 2-0 to 2-2
That was a tough one pal.
Boones went from 2-0 to 2-2 last night. Here is a super fast recap:
Missing in action and those that are to blame for the loss - Brady, Dave, and Tutt.
Stu Dawg returned to action and played keeper. Hell of game! He probably made over a dozen saves.
Pup was playing as the only true forward with Joel and Clay and the other halfbacks making runs when possible. We had some good runs but unfortunately only had a handful of shots on goal.
Their only goal was when Stu Dawg made a block save and one of their players was able to finish the loose ball. Unlucky!
Good effort overall. Would like to play that game again with Dave, Brady, and Tutt!
