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 […]

Today we started 09:27 with a full set of players.  As Roma said after the game: “You are 5 minutes late, and you have to go to an overflow game…”  We have very very many people on Sundays. WHITEs were ahead 1:0 and 2:1, but with a superb play from […]

We played from 09:39 to 11:06.  As usual we had a fresh influx of young players. WHITEs opened with a goal from Lou to Marcello to the net at 09:42. There were no mo goals for the next 36 minutes.  Finally Yakov tricked the defender and goalkeeper, and sent the […]

One more warm football party on Warren grounds.  At a max point we gathered 25 people playing at the same time (13×12).  We played from 17:56 to 19:42. And the game had very few goals. DARKs had a great squad in offense – Nebati, Georgi and Erick.    101 -st […]
