Year: 2011

Thank you to Pawel for re-introducing us to a forgotten potion of British Colonial Empire.  It was a perfect finale to a Christmas Day game.  Picture shows “All_Star” team except perhaps for Igor Gr., who left a bit earlier. On a  Christmas field we had a very convincing show flakes […]

Zhenia V. and Cüneyt picked the teams today. Main cornerstones of the game: Only 2 more games left in this season. 09:42  DARKs took a lead with 2 goals from Ruslan. 10:28 WHITEs are leading and dominating 4:3 with 3 goals from Zhenia V. 10:28 – 11:06 DARKs reinforced by […]

It was cold.  It was cold to breathe and run at the same time.  But we did it anyway.  A brave 16.  Plus some other squad was playing on a small set of goals, without interfering with us. Today we started at 09:35.  Dr.  Yurik with his hawk vision picked […]

First goal on a new field at 09:48 by Matt Lyonia G. and Oleg picked 2 perfect teams Only Lenia Ch. out of 20people didn’t find his way to a new place Second unofficial game ended 3:3 around 11:38 DARKs got Vova M. and Yakov, while WHITEs got Bobby Misha […]

Today we encountered a frozen ground for the first time.   It is a signal – time to move on.  See a separate article with suggestion, where to move. Game was once again a perfect 10 on 10.  However Lyonya G. and Lenia Ch. picked only 18 players.   Then Grisha L. […]

If you wondering whether we play in December, here is the answer – Yes, we do.  The weather is still cooperating to the fullest.  The grass is holding our feet, and ground is not frozen or hard.  It is basically like a flower bed. Here are possible headline for today’s […]

We started at 09:27.  A perfect 10 on 10. Team were picked by Bobby and Nelson. Some significant shifts occur a few minutes into the game. Erick entered for WHITEs and Vlad T. for DARKs. Boris R. entered for WHITEs replacing first Zhenia A. (knee injury) and later Tony (groin […]

We started at 09:36 under a sunny sky.  It was chilly in the morning, but it warmed up by the noon. Can you think of all the questions in captains’ minds:  Who would stay and do not leave?   Who can be reliable in an assigned role?   Who dedicate their efforts […]

At 09:15 the teams were almost completely formed.   Teams were hand-picked by Vlad U. and Zhenia V. The game started at 09:22. It turns out DARKs were much much stronger.  But this advantage wasn’t obvious right away. DARKs had a super-strong defense (Igor Sh. and Ilya T.) and totally renovated […]

It was a very low-scoring game.  As good as a real thing. We loved it.     The weather was so warm and fantastic, that is deserves a place in a record book – and December is just around the corner. More and more people are commenting on our new pick-a-team system. […]

It was almost a 2-hour marathon once again.  We started in an Ice age, and we finished in a warm nurturing sun light. Team picking is a complex endeavor. So much so as we might consider to reward a good Captain-ship.  Grisha Rom. suggested today to award an extra point […]
