Cucuy FC - Vanguard FC 6:4 (3:2)
What a game! Haven't seen Cucuy play like this in a while. I guess it was just one of those days. So, where to start. Vanguard hit the ground running and gave us little time to think. Before we knew it we were down a goal. But we started pushing back, and Andrew scored our first, turning around the defender and then finishing clean and low past the keeper. Vanguard scored a second, but we didn't let up either. So Scott put away a beautiful header after a equally great cross from Karol. We kept knocking on Vanguard's door then the ball came to Steve K. who let one fly low above the ground, I'd say a good 30 yards out. Keeper went flying but no chance. Too bad nobody took a picture of that one. Kyle saved our 3:2 at half, with at least two monster saves.
About one minute into second half Vanguard scored the tying goal after a series of quick passes on our left and a slide-in, catching us off guard once more. Vanguard was trying to get the momentum now, and things got a little heated when Vanguard's Rumpelstiltskin started to act up. But Schluni and Brent settled the defense, and Steve and Karol started organizing the offense. We got several chances set up by Dave H. and Scott. Then Hintzki got half an open shot, and the keeper let it go in. Vanguard pushed back, but Kyle in goal kept everything out that was in any way saveable. And then he set up the 5:3 with a long goal kick that bounced in front of David K., who got his act together, went around the defender, and scored. It might have helped that the guy was starting to get worn out after having been abused by Andrew for a good 60 minutes. Then David K. got another chance and put that away as well. Vanguard had the last word with a late goal for the 6:4. They could have even scored the 6:5 with an open run on our goal, but Kyle denied that one as well.
Goals: Andrew, Scott, Steve, Dave H., David K (2)
MVP: Kyle

Cucuy Beats BFG
BFG United vs. Cucuy FC 2:4 (0:1)
If this summary is kind of short it's not for lack of time but for lack of memory. We played at 11, and I'm not sure how hot it was, just that it was too hot for me. Way too hot. In this kind of heat 50% of my brain focuses on temperature regulation, but bear with me. In any case, I faintly remember that Hintz scored the first, and we went to break. Then blurred lines for a while. Then Pat got whacked in the box, Karol took up the penalty and buried it 2:0. More blurred lines. Then Victor scored a header, after Scott I think took a shot that was deflected and dropped right in front of Victor. Hintz scored our last, a long-distance shot that was deflected off the back of a BFG defender. Somewhere in between BFG scored two on us, one was actually a pretty cool header after a corner. I also remember that BFG did not let up for one second, and played to the last minute like the game was tied. After that, more blurred lines, and finally thanks to Jason: Miller time!
Goals: Hintz (2), Karol, Victor
MVP: Hintz

Cucuy Beats Medina United
Cucuy FC - Medina United FC 8:2 (3:1)
At kick-off we had 10 guys, so I asked the Medina captain if he wanted to do water breaks. He declined, given that they had 2 or 3 subs. Turns out we did fine without them.
We had the better chances from the start. Pat and I both had open shots but missed. I think Scott had another good one, but Detonators scored on their first shot on goal, a laser-beam shot that didn't give Cory in goal time to react. But we kept pressing with 10, and once Jason showed up to complete the team we slowly got the upper hand. After a cross from Hintz I tied the game, sticking my my leg between two defenders, kind of an ugly goal. Soon after, Pat scored the 2:1, his first shot the keeper blocked, the second went against the post and the third finally went in. Scott had the third after getting into position and chasing down a pass through the middle. Keeper had a hand on that one as well but couldn't keep it out.
Second half, Detonator's scored a quick one and suddenly we had a game. Then Detonator's sweeper figured an offside-trap was the way to play us. So whenever we had the ball in midfield, he would scream "HOOLD, HOOOOOOOLD!" at the top of his lungs, kind of annoying. So Scott got the ball again in midfield, and when 3 of us got ready to get his pass, he just passed it past the sweeper, picked it up at the other side, and scored the 4:2. That took cared of the "HOOOOOOLD" for the rest of the game. Congrats to Pat for the hattrick!
Goals: Eddy, Pat (3), Scott (2), Hintz (2)
MVP: Scott
