Cucuy Outgun Blades

Cucuy FC - Blades FC 6:0 (2:0)

This game was excellent practice to sharpen up on the "avoid-the-offside-trap" skills. I think each half we must have had at least 10 offside calls against us, but I guess this was the game to do it. If there are still any uncertainties about offside, please go talk to Andrew, because he's the expert now.

We really caught the Blades on an off day. First half we dominated and kept them in their half but only scored two goals. And man, what a goal from Raul! Center-right, about 25 yards out, he put it in the upper left for the 2:0.

At half time I thought they were still giving us a game but not really. Although, after we scored 3:0 and 4:0, it seemed like our midfield became more offensive-focused, opening some space for occasional Blades counters ("Brent can handle that.") Blades should have scored on at least two chances. If we had made it any easier on them we would have put the ball in our own net. BUT, it didn't happen. Nicht getroffen - Schnapps gesoffen. So we got the 5:0 and then Andrew put the cream on top with a copy of Raul's goal, but this time from the left side, sick!

Goals: Andrew (2), Pat (2), Javier, Raul
MVP: Pat
