Cucuy FC - TBA SC 8:0 (4:0)
Wow, this was pretty cold. Wind chill brought it down to about 30 or so. TBA was 2 people short so really was not much of game. With a full squad I thing it would have been close but as is they did not have a chance. Nice goal first half from Isiah after a pass from Karol, put the ball in the left upper ninety, made everybody feel nice and toasty. Also great save from CNate, everyone saw that one going in. Second half we gave them our sub, but TBA felt it was better to keep playing with 9 so one of them got a red. You call the ref a bitch, you get a red, nothing new really. Then CNate, now playing D, felt like another hand ball in the box, to give Rey something to do, but TBA missed it. See you all after the break!
Goals: Eddy (4), Karol (3), Isiah

Cucuy Finishes Season With a Win
International Old Boys - Cucuy FC 0:4 (0:1)
On a perfect day for soccer we closed out the season with a match against the International Old Boys on the "Acker" in Bulverde. This field doesn't really lend itself to a passing game, but I guess we made the best of it. It did help the Old Boys's game of kick and rush, but our win was not in any real danger throughout the game. We dominated first half but could not score until Karol's 20 yard free kick goal, a true "Sonntagsschuss". Wow! The free kick came as the result of one of many fouls from the Old boys, some of them pretty late. Cary got taken out badly at least three times, which did not stop him from scoring twice. Although the Old Boys were playing pretty rough, at least they were not complainers, so we give them that.
Second half the Old Boys had several good chances but either Jason, Brent, or Cory had a foot or hand in there at the last second. The goal from Brent was the icing on the cake, free-kick from Karol (after a foul on... Cary) and a picture-header from Brent into the long corner. Gus also had a bunch of good chances and if not for the Old Boys excellent keeper the score would have been much higher.
Thanks to Cory for the chilled beverages and to Nathan F. for the come-back. Looks like the soccer camp in Germany is paying off!
Goals: Brent, Cary (2), Karol
MVP: Karol

Cucuy Unbeaten Streak Comes to an End
Mercenary FC - Cucuy FC 4:0 (3:0)
A whole bunch of streaks came to an end in this one: Our 8 games unbeaten streak, Cary's 3 games in row with scoring a goal or more, and Cnate's whole season without any accidental hand ball causing unjustly awarded penalty kicks. (Well, this game was the one to do it since it really didn't make a difference.)
Mercenary was pretty fast with lot's of skill but for the most part the game was pretty open. Main difference was efficiency: Mercenary scored almost on every good chance they had while we couldn't get it on target at all. There was also some trouble with our passing game, definitely one of the worse ones I've seen us play. On the brighter side, this game was also Karl's first game since he got injured 7 months ago. Welcome back!
Goals: Ausser Spesen nix gewesen.
MVP: Dan
