Cucuy FC - Rangers FC 0:1 (0:0)
Well, that was a game I hope I'll forget about quickly. First half was about even with chances on both sides. CNate saved our butts at least twice to keep the draw at half time. Second half we dominated like I've rarely seen. Almost like against the Bomberos, except that we didn't manage to score. So it had to come like it always does, Rangers show up for the second time (and last) time in front of our goal and score the only goal of the game. I couldn't see if it was offsides, but from Jason's and Brent's reaction it shouldn't have counted. When's Cary coming back again?
Goals: Leider nix
MVP: CNate

Mother's Day Match is First Win of the Season
Los Bomberos - Cucuy FC 0:9 (0:6)
Both teams started with all the players that did not have to be at Mom's until noon. Pretty soon it became clear this wouldn't be much more than a practice game. But, it was still fun to play. And I think first half we did kind of take the game seriously. In any case, we had a bunch of great goals and a chance to try out a bunch of new things. Second half, which was cut to 30 minutes, we could have scored at least 10 more goals but instead decided to get rid of a bunch of bad luck, which is a good thing. I'm sure next game will be much more of a challenge. MVP goes to Kyle for a sweet goal and a number of great set ups.
Goals: Eddy (4), Karol (3), Kyle (1), Rey (1)
MVP: Kyle

Cinquo de Mayo Tournament
No game for three weeks and then three games in one day. Sure glad Karol invited a couple of extras to help us out. The first game against SASA SA Elite started out great: Schluni scored the first goal, but in second half we gave up three. The second game we played HFA Gold Diggers beating them 2:0. Jimbo scored the first goal followed by the goal of the day, a header by Ben after a cross from Karol. To advance we simply had to beat SASA Fort Sam in the third game. That turned out to be harder than expected. Looks like the guys from Fort Sam really do some running in their spare time. In the end there was not much to win in this one and we lost 3:0. Karl in goal prevented worse.
Cory put together some highlights of the affair available here:

Check it out if you want to see the talking football boot, Ivan's erasing tackle, or Nick getting de-cleated by Brittney Spears.
Although we did not advance I had a great time, thanks to Karol's organizing, Cory's T-shirt printing, January's sandwiches, and Alex' homemade granola. We should definitely do this again next year.
