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 […]

Marat asked, “How long does it take to finish all the calculations?”  Let’s see. We started typing at 20:13. We continued during supper and through “You Think You Can Dance”.  Then Photoshop misbehaved, and that hold us back significantly.  All in all, it takes about an hour and a half […]

Oh Yes!  We did it.  Instead of 50 people (like last Sunday) only 12 people showed up today.  Wonderful – our favorite size. Although rain never completely stopped, players did not have much time to notice it.  Game started 5 on 5 at 09:48. WHITEs had Kevin, and Arnaud and […]

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.   […]
