Cucuy FC - Deportivo Toros 4:0 (2:0)
These guys had more possession than us, and knew how to play, but did not play well as a team. We kind of gave up on the midfield and then just let them run into our defensive wall. Nick Catenaccio Hawkins showed his opponents time after time. Schluni did a great job moving his defense around and keeping everyone marked. And once we got the ball, we showed them what to with it. A quick Justin-Hintz-Steve-then-long-to-Scott. Or Schluni-Steve-Hintz-then-long-to-Jason. Or Nate-Hintz-Cole-then-long-to-Scott. Some of these plays were really good. First goal, and best one today, came after one of these and then a cross from Scott that pretty much fell on Mike's head. Scott then took in on himself to finish the next one.
Second half Toros pushed again, but we kept scoring, first Lamar, then Josh. After that things got a bit more involved, couple of dirty plays, unnecessary fouls. Part of that was unfortunately the refs fault, who didn't really do much, and one of the linesmen, who was struggling with the offside rule. It was funny to see that guy get into an argument with the SASA head ref, who was watching him from the sideline.
Thanks to Dave for the refreshments. Justin and Hintz, we're going to miss you guys. Hals und Beinbruch!
Goals: Scott, Mike, Lamar, Josh
MVP: Scott

SK United Beats Cucuy
SK United - Cucuy FC 4:1
We were lacking Eddy, Karol, Hintz, Ben and Cary. All of them would have been really helpful for that extra offensive spark. 3 of their goals were sloppy "too far pushes" by our defense, then no one got back. We also should have had at least 2 more. Justin Anderson got in behind the defense twice. Tried to force a touch pass instead of slotting it home once. Tried to overhit the next time and put it right into the keeper's chest. Josh Anderson could have had another too. Got in behind the defense but just blasted it over the bar.
Goal: Josh
