We started at 09:34 on a small field next to tennis courts.  Teams seemed well balanced and almost even. At 09:50 Zhenia V. “opened the bottle” with a pass to Alex Z.  The pass never reached him.  Instead, Vladis Sh. expertly drilled the ball deep into the net – 0:1 […]

We started 09:43. We had 13 on 13.  We composed 2 games 8×8 and 5×5.  Very civilized. DARKs needed one person and Dr. Yurik made a faithful switch at the last second before the game. WHITEs had no hope now. They had to play against Sasha L., and young Danis […]

Very cozy, very comfortable game today.  Lyonya G. even performed “a-moment of silence” ceremony.  Very classy. Today DARKs had an excellent trio: Ziya and Igor Gol. and Dr. Yurik.    DARKs were ahead 1:4 and 2:5 and 3:6. Then Stas M. came on board.  He started by scoring 2 goals […]

We started on a very crowded field adjacent to tennis courts.  Same said that it was 11 on 9 for WHITEs.   The grass has an opportunity to repair itself – hey, good field management. People continued to arrive, and “internal discipline” prevailed.  Instead of ruining main game, late arrivals form […]

Big Georgi day.  In English it means something different from Georgi’s Big Day.  Interesting. Never-the-less.   We started as one happy unisex family of 26.  And we even score 3 goals.  But it was quiet a zoo out there.  And we split.  Misha P. suggested, and DARKs went one way and […]

First goal was scored at 09:35.  DARKs took an unlikely lead, after a long distance shot from Stas M. (0:1) Vlad T. scored on Kevin from a sharp angle – what was going on? WHITEs had all the stars in their constellations aligned:  Vova M., Ziya, Zhenia V. and Bobby. […]

We started at exactly 09:45 today. Teams featured a brilliant constellations of players.  WHITEs gathered Sasha L., Cüneyt and Zhenia V.    DARKs received Vova M., Lesha Zh. and Ruslan.  Both teams had excellent chances to win. WHITEs opened the score with Cüneyt scoring on Lenia Ch.  Bur DARKs quickly gained traction […]

Game started very late today – only at 17:59.  Georgy scored before goalkeeper even had a chance to put his gloves on.   The goal was qualified as unethical, and it was permanently scraped from the record. WHITEs started one down (9 on 8), but both teams quickly gained a full roster […]

We played a short low scoring game from 09:32 to 11:02.  Exactly 90 minutes. Stas M. distributed all WHITEs players to their lines, and this “new order” stayed like this throughout the game.  It actually worked.  It worked well. We had only enough people for one game. Teams quickly collected […]

We played a good long non-stop game between 09:36 and 11:26.  It is 110 minutes. WHITEs reached their highest point at 10:09 (6:2), when Boris R, Cüneyt and Kevin scored 6 good solid goals.  They had an extra player (Denis G.), but DARKs refused to take him to equalize the […]
