Cucuy FC - Boca 2:2 (0:0)
Since we're having the play-offs for the spring season on April 26 I'm still not sure if this game counts anything or not, only Carlos knows. Actually, I doubt that. In any case, with Birke back from suspension (?) I think we played pretty good, had some of the best passing I have seen in a while. Cary being out of town we just had a little trouble finding the back of the net. Dan, Rey, Brent, and Kyle had a bunch of close ones but didn't quite finish. Second half we continued dominating but found ourselves down 0:1 and then 0:2 after two avoidable goals. With 15 minutes to go Rey finally scored for the 1:2, and soon after Kyle finished for the tie. With a couple more minutes we might have turned this one around but still, a pretty good comeback.
Goals: Kyle, Rey
MVP: Karol

Cucuy Beat Young Guns in Season Finale
Young Guns - Cucuy FC 1:4 (0:3)
Thanks to Dan's call we got the wind for the first half, which was probably the best he did all game. In any case, we had the upper hand first half and Cary scored off a cross from Nick for the first goal. Karol scored the second, a header that came off the crossbar after a nice rip from Scotty. Then Cary had another great moment, scoring the third goal from the left with his outside left in to the far upper ninety. Just beautiful. Young Guns had a lot of chances though but our defense didn't give up a goal, thanks to CNate who had two great saves and Nick who saved the ball off the line after a corner.
Playing against the wind, second half was the total opposite. Rarely have I seen a team so dominant with so many chances, and so little luck, talking about the Young Guns here. Dan took a permanent break after a red card for saving a header with his hand on the line. Is that what they teach you in France? Whatever, Young Guns missed that penalty. Two minutes later, Young Guns got their second penalty after CNate and I took down a striker in the box in a somewhat illegal way, but CNate guessed the right corner and saved that one. In one of our rare appearances in the other half, Karol marked the 4:0, and just before the end Young Guns finally scored the 4:1 Ehrentreffer. This should have probably gotten us into the playoffs, we'll see.
Goals: Karol (2), Cary (2)
MVP: CNate (Staring down the first penalty and saving the second).

Detonators Stonewall Cucuy
Detonators - Cucuy FC 0:0 (0:0)
It was good to have Karol, Scotty, and Cary back. But even with our full squad we were unable to score. We controlled the game for 90 minutes, had tons of chances, but Detonators played excellent defense, and their keeper new what he was doing. Since Cory was running the subs I guess it was all his fault. MVP goes to Dave H. (is that the Firedave?) for stepping up his game as defensive mid.
No game next week for spring break, but we may have a pickup on Saturday. A couple of guys will also have a round of Golf on Sunday, email Nick if you're interested.
Goals: Kein Tor, schade.
MVP: Dave H.

Cucuy Run Over by Storm
Storm - Cucuy FC 5:0 (2:0)
No chance for us in this game. We tied Storm in our last encounter with a full squad, so without Cary, Karol, Gus, and Scotty there was not a lot of hope for this one. Playing against the wind I think we only crossed twice into Storm territory in the first half. Pretty much one-way street soccer. A nice freekick from Birke was the sole Cucuy highlight. Second half we fought on but even with the wind we could not do much damage. Dave H. and twice Ryan had a chance to score but in the end this was not our day. Thanks to Mike for helping out and a great job done in midfield. Thanks also to Cory for promising not to send anymore pictures of his butt.
Goals: None
MVP: Ryan
