Once again people re-appeared from nowhere.  Cars would pull up in a complete silence and a new rain-master will emerge. And here it was 22 again. Everything was perfect.  Nebati and Igor Gr. for DARKs, and Mike R. and Niko for WHITEs. Time Score Name Comment 17:55 00:00   **** […]

We started 8 on 8 at 09:35, but we had perfect 11 on 11 by 10:03. WHITEs kept the lead throughout the game, but we had huge time gaps between goals. Exactly 30 minutes passed between Arnaud goal (4:1 at 09:59) and Vadim second goal (5:1 at 10:29).  Another 28 […]

In today’s difficult world, the soccer field is a place of calm, the place of sorrow. It is our sanctuary. And today this sanctuary was visited by (wait for it…) 30 people!

2 games ensued. Main one with 9 on 9 and secondary with 6 on 6. Later 6 people joined in. I heard that secondary game was a tough one – 7:6.

Ethics is a theory of competing concepts of good. Vlad U. separated the herd into 2 games.  Yesterday 26 were comfortable together.   Today 24 couldn’t find the common ground.  Plus, Oleg‘s 10 o’clock team had no place to play. First game 8 on 8 ended 12:9 for WHITEs at 10:45AM.  Then […]

We played from 09:40 to 11:33. DARKs collected both excellent defense – Serezha – and superb offense – Sasha L., Georgi, Boris Sh.  However that did reflect in the quality of the game. DARKs open with a 1:4 lead with a slow and steady flow of the goals from Sasha […]

12 people played one hour and 15 minutes.  It is not darkness, it is not rain that stopped us.  It was a shear exhaustion.  Not one will remember the rain on a strong perfect green.  We moved two times to find absolutely the best spot.  We played on normal goals, […]

Last season people who played most games had a significant advantage over other regulars. This season we are changing the calculation. First change. Only players who played in at least one third of the games will be shown in all calculations.  It means one game five-goal gala will not through […]

Last game of the Spring 2011 season was today.  Tomorrow is the first game of the Summer 2011 season.   Last game lasted from 09:40 to 11:16.  It felt predetermined and fixed.  No individual effort could change the final outcome.  22 players participated, but Stas M. had to leave almost […]
