Cary and New Shoes Prove Deadly Combination

Rayados - Cucuy FC 2:6 (1:2)

Thanks to Cary's decision to buy new shoes instead of new tires, this game was over before it began. We started with two men down and played against the wind so I guess it was a bit lucky that Cary's first two touches were both goals. The goals kind of woke up Rayados out of their contemplation ("WHO's Desk and Patios, gdammit?") who then pretty much controlled the rest of the first half. Cheered on by Ryan's support ("Use your FISTS!") CNate in goal had several great saves, including one heroic save after an irresponsible laser beam shot out of nowhere on or own goal by sweeper Brent. Unfortunately, the ref called an indirect on us, which Rayados buried in the back of our net. Ok, it was a good shot. For the rest of the first half, thanks to a hard working defense we kept them at 1:2 (Ryan: "That was the longest half ever!"). I was sort of tired too.

Second half, now with a full squad was a different story. Cary felt it was time for a hattrick so he scored his third after a really nice cross from Brent. With the wind in our back it was now our game, and after the 4:1, a long-distance shot about 25 yards out ("Sonntagsschuss!"), Rayados pretty much gave up. Or would have, if it wasn't for CNate, who very gentleman-like kept them in the game with another completely unfairly awarded penalty kick after a hand ball in the penalty box ("Hand ist wenn der Schiri pfeift.") Following the ref's frivolous and arbitrary display of power and the 4:2, we witnessed another episode of "The Cary Show," who more or less took the ball from the kick-off through the complete Rayados team, then passing it at last second to Steve for the 5:2. The last goal then was Cary again after a nice pass from Isaiah. Big thanks to Steve for helping out!
