Cucuy gets Spanked by Mercenaries
Cucuy FC - Mercenaries FC 2:6 (1:5)
Games against Mercenaries have always been close calls in the past, but this one clearly was not. With only 10 men, missing Karol, Scotty, Brent, Carl, and CNate, this was a bit too much. I felt bad for Jesse who was trying his best but really had no chance to save four of the first five. On the other hand, 1:5 sounds a lot worse than we played first half. With a bit of luck we should have scored about three times. Highlight of the first half was Ben's goal, a low shot he passed by the keeper (Birke: "There goes the skunk!").
Second half Jason gave Jesse a break and played keeper which worked out pretty well for us. Mercenaries got a little greedy, starting to shoot from any distance, which made a bit easier for Jason. Cole then scored our second goal after intercepting a pass from a defender and shooting it past the keeper who was on its way back to his goal.
But man, do I love the Star Soccer Complex fields!
Goals: Ben, Cole
MVP: Ben

Seguin Gets Win In Close Game
Cucuy FC - Seguin 2:3 (1:2)
After we finished beating up Jesse for giving out the the teams of the World Cup final, we started the game against a pretty well organized Seguin team. We were off to a good start when Hintz produced a beautiful pass through the Seguin defense that caught their defense by surprise and I was able to slip by the keeper for the 1:0 lead. Seguin however wasn't much impressed, and developed several good chances. They finally got lucky on a long shot that hit the crossbar and dropped in behind Carl, and then somehow scored the second goal off our kick-off.
Second half we started out strong with several good chances, many of them set up by Scotty and Hintz in the middle. One of them Scotty was able to finish to tie the game. After that the game opened up with several chances on both sides, but Seguin was able to finish one more, and we did not. Seguin was later denied a penalty after Jesse prevented a shot on our goal by slide tackling the striker in our box ("I got nothing but leg"). Strange how the ref missed that one. In the end the game could have gone either way but Seguin had the upper hand today.
Goals: Eddy and Scotty
MVP: Dave Hintz
