Rangers no Match for Cucuy

Rangers FC - Cucuy FC 0:8 (0:3)

We were supposed to play Palermo, but the forfeited so they matched us up with the Rangers. The highlights: Scott's twenty-yard rip in the upper-left ninety, and Patricks volley in the same place from about 12 yards or so. In the final minutes we even got a penalty, which Kyle put square on the keeper, woopsie. An smart play was to put Karol on sweeper since Stan, Brent, and Jason were missing.

Goals:Dave H. 1, Cole 1, Scott 2, Cary 1, Patrick 1, Eddy 1, Andy 1,
MVP: Karol

Cucuy Beats Blades

Cucuy FC - Blades 3:1 (0:1)

Blades scored after a miskicked clearance from Kyle, and Blades player one touched it from about 30 yards out into an empty net. A quality finish. We had several chances before the half time that should had been 'taken care of', but somehow we managed to misfire or send the ball directly at the keeper allowing him to make an easy save.

Second half we started pushing Scottie up to support the offense. It took us about five minutes to finally adjust and stop easy runs through our defense, but luckily non resulted in goal scoring opportunities. After that we were able to put continuous pressure and control the midfield, which resulted in some great chances. Our first goal came in the second half, after Javier's individual defensive play that resulted in winning the ball in the opponent's penalty area and slotting it in. Cole could have added from on-on-one with a keeper, but missed just outside the right post. Second goal was a result of a follow up play after a corner kick. Javier tee-ed off Okan perfectly, and Okan calmly sent the ball in top shelf from the edge of the 6 yard box. The third "assurance" goal was a beauty after Scottie's inch perfect pass to Patrick, who beat his mark and then sent a left-footed shot into an opposite top corner.

Overall good, clean game. At one point in first half, Blades actually gave us back the possession of the ball, because the referee made a bad call. Very sportsmanship-like and uncharacteristic of 'old' Blades. No police escorts were necessary after the game...

Goals: Javier, Okan, Patrick

Cucuy loses to Valencia WTF?

Valencia - Cucuy FC 4:1 (1:0)

Not sure what went wrong here, other than we had a hard time finishing our chances. Valencia was a good team but I still feel like this one slipped away. Kyle in goal did a really great job overall.

Goal: Eddy
