Year: 2011

We started at 09:31.  First goal happened only in 15 minutes into the game.   We finished at 10:58.  Last goal was scored by Misha P. to break the tie.  Here is what actually happened. WHITEs started very strong.  Eddy and Kolya and Max upfront outmanuver the defense, and were rapidly […]

First, the headlines: *** 22 players gathered on WARREN to play the game of Soccer *** *** Niko in defense blocks more goals, than a goalkeeper *** *** Mike R. stops the penalty from Nebati at 5:5 – The Turning Point in the Game *** *** Teams divided with very […]

At 09:26 we started with an approximate count of 9 on 8.  It was impossible to say, who was stronger upfront.  Within minutes Max, Grisha Rom. and Pawel K. brought total count to an equal 10 on 10. Many more people arrived 5-10 minutes late today .  They had to […]

So many questions for this Saturday game.  So many unanswered questions. Why teams divided the way the did – Sasha, Vova, Cüneyt and Boris Sh. on on side of the isle? Why Sasha called the fault every time, but Vova didn’t call an obvious fault against him, when goalkeeper was […]

Game lasted from 17:58 to 19:52 – almost 2 hours.  We had a perfect 11 on 11.  Last to arrive was Ilya P., who entered for WHITEs at 18:25, when they were ahead 2:0. WHITEs had 3 stars (Mike R., Niko and Daniel A.) and 2 powerful defense-men (Lesha K. […]

There is no words to describe the pain and suffering of a dull  heavy object that hit WHITEs today. Player sum of goals-per-game shows that DARKs had over 150% advantage from the start. 153% advantage to be exact. Vadim L. said that it was pretty obvious from the beginning.   […]

It was a good story.  So good in fact , that we had to change all the names in the story to preserve the innocence. He didn’t want to wake up this morning, and it was raining.  And it was hot and steamy morning. But he came anyway.  Rain and […]

What factors played a decisive role in today’s game? Here are a few to mention. New Ilya P. decides to switch teams, when  stink reaches very high levels.  Stas M. sacrifices himself and leaves to keep this new player. Boris Sh. shifts back into goalkeeping for 5 minutes to allow WHITEs […]

You might already knew this, but Warren has a game on Tuesday.  Oleg’s people placed a note on some Meet Up site (?), and kaboom – 31 people show up for 2 very competitive games.  I can only tell you about one game, both games finished about the same time […]

We played a short hot game of 11 on 12 (Georgi) from 9:25 to 11:02. This time youthful DARKs started very strong, but begin to break down very quickly on the hot summer sun.  A good third of WHITEs had to switch to equalize the teams: Dennis P., Matt, Dima […]

We started at 09:35 with a perfect 9 on 10 squad. DARKs were visibly weaker, but started strong with a 0:2 lead. Later Lou thrust DARKs forward one last time (2:3 at 09:57AM) with a fantastic goal in the upper most left corner of the goals (Alex B. almost got […]
