Sunday September 30

50 and cloudy but the sun came out during the game, perfect soccer weather.  We started 7 v 7, full court, white sidelines, shoot in the box, last man back.  Steve arrived to keep for the white team, one guest: Fab!  assorted net tending for blue.  Scoring was fast and furious:

Jeff for blue, 1-0
Jeff for blue, 2-0
Mu from Mario for white, 2-1
Vince for white, 2-2
a few more guys showed up we got up to 9 v 10
Jeff for blue, 3-2
Mario, due to keeper's indifference, 3-3
Mark Miller in as blue keeper
Imad 3-4
Mario, 3-5 mmitc
Jeff, from Rocc, 4-5
Jay with a nice steal crosses to Dimos, then to Carlos, and Jeff scores it, 5-5
Vince, 5-6
Jeff, 6-6
Mario, 6-7
Imad, 6-8
Jeff, 7-8

Early half time and water break.  We shortened the field to 80 yards, Fab & Frank are on the sidelines, M Schwartz comes to the blue side to play keeper, M Miller goes to the whites to even it up at 9v9, new game:

Jay for blue, 1-0
Jeff, 2-0
Rocc!, 3-0
Mario starts the white climb out of the gutter, 3-1
Jeff, 4-1
Jay, 5-1
Carlos for blue, 6-1
Mario, 6-2 mmitc
Vince from Imad, 6-3
Mario, 6-4
Imad, 6-5
Ceebow from Mario, 6-6, and the cry baby whities want to leave the field, but the blue meanies prevail for one more, but it's
Vince, 6-7

So the tighty whitie's win two in a row on the same day.  More importantly a new scoring record has been set.  I count 8 for Jeff! Congratulations!  Ceebow says it wasn't a full sided game so the record should be asterisked.  **** There.  Of course nobody keeps track of Imad Joe's goals, and I'm not interested in going back through the last couple of hundred posts to check.

Next weekend is the Soccerthon 24 hours of soccer to benefit cancer of the asshole.  We have about nine players signed up.  If you're interested go ahead and sign yourself up it would be good to have a complete team.  The team is "Waldwick Team Old and Slow", (not Keith) and our time slot is 7-8 AM Saturday at Overpeck Park.  I do hereby volunteer to drive five others, I can meet you at the Waldwick HS lot, if anybody is interested.
