Cucuy FC - Mercenary FC 5:1 (3:0)
After that non-fun game last week it looked like everybody has been working out getting ready for Cinqo de Mayo. Mercenaries also did not have their strongest team, but still, 5 goals are 5 goals. We started strong giving the Mercenaries no time to set up or get a breather, and it looked just like a matter of time until we would score. After about 30 minutes or so, Rody put us ahead 1:0. Then Javier scored the 2nd goal a few minutes later, and I subbed in and scored the third. Not to be too much of a windbag, it was a pretty exiting goal. I dribbled around a few players and then put it with my right (!) foot in the bottom left corner. For somebody to score with the foot that god gave solely to stand on, it was pretty amazing. After the goal a guy from Mercenaries came up to me and said "I know you, you've been playing for Cucuy for years. What you did with our defense, you normally don't do that!" Which is true.
Second half we played against the wind, which usually helps our game. But I think we the 3:0 we got a little bit greedy. Less passing, plenty of long distance shots, for a while it looked like Mercenaries could come back. And yes, they did get three amazing chances in a few minutes, but Kyle in goal saved them all. Fantastic job. To quote the same guy from first half: "I don't think we could buy a goal from you guys." Then Raul put the lid on the pot with our 4th goal, having played a great game in center mid setting up our game and many of our chances. After that, Mercenaries got their goal of honor. Mr. Goddammit had finally broken through our defense. In the end, Kyle P. put the icing on the cake with our fifth goal of the day.
Goals: Rody, Javier, Eddy, Raul, Kyle P.
MVP: Raul

New Season Starts with a Whipping
Int'l 1961 FC - Cucuy FC 6:1 (1:0)
This game had it all: fantastic passing, fast-paced action, beautiful goals. Too bad it was mostly on the '61ers side. Ok it wasn't ALL on the '61ers side. Actually, the first half we played not bad at all, and allowed only one goal. Brent and Dave did a really great job in the center, Birke made sure he always had a few yards of a head-start on the outside striker, and CNate chased his guy up and down the field, and Daniel in goal had again some awesome saves. I for my part had my hopes up for second half.
Second half it seemed like the '61ers really increased the pace of the game. It might have been we just got a bit slower. It was definitely a faster pace than what I'm used to. In the end they scored goal after goal, and we did not find a way to stop them. Roady scored the 3:1 which gave us some hope again, but only seconds later we got the 4:1. I felt pretty bad for Daniel in goal who did not have a chance to save any of the shots. I think I need to do some running for Cinqo de Mayo.
Goal: Roady

Nice Win Against Blades in Season Finale
Blades FC - Cucuy FC 1:4 (0:1)
It's always fun to beat the Blades, and this one was no different. The Blades gave us a pretty light ball which I found out after I shanked a free-kick over the goal (I barely touched it!) Minutes later, the Blades got a penalty after a pretty obvious foul, from Ben I believe. I don't think anybody on our team objected. In any case, the Blades shanked that one far over the goal as well, which made me feel doubly better. Daniel in goal had several excellent saves that kept the game tied. Then Cole got our first goal, and we took a break for half time.
Second half we scored the fastest goal of the season, less than a minute after the kick-off, after a superb Messi-pass from Jason that Cole put past the keeper and kind of shut the Blades up for a while. Congratulations, since this was the 333rd goal for Cucuy! Raul and Ben scored our next two, and somewhere in between the Blades got another penalty, this one much more debatable after an unintentional hand from Brent. Overall a fun game, and a nice finish for the season.
Goals: Cole (2), Raul G., Ben
