A beautiful July morning, the heat wave is broken for a day or two, and the guys came out in droves. We had as many as 32 today: guests included Aikaz, Steve, Minor and Jake. Tim and John Billow are back, and a late arrival, Mark Forest! Notably absent: Jamal, Imad, Frank & Dimos. Frank may be recuperating or vacationing, Jamal is off for two months in Israel. Doug in the white net, Minor in for blue, Steve played a little left half but switched back into net after a while.
I forgot my scorecard, so I have to get down what I can remember right away. First and most importantly, Keebow had 4 for blue. In fact he had all the blue goals. Read it and weep.
Mark Schwartz scored for white, then Bobbie own goaled for white making it 2-2.
Mu headed one in for white, Mario had a few, maybe Jay? Towards the end Kieth hit a lazer shot from about the 30 that knuckled around a bunch of players and found the net! Great shot Hock!
I don't really remember the rest, E mail me if I forgot your goal.

Sunday July 1
Hot and sunny at game time. We're in the middle of the second big heat wave of the summer, not really perfect soccer weather but eventually 26 guys showed up. Guests Aikaz, Steve, Adrian and our old buddy Ed showed up. Doug in the white net, Keith in the blue for most of the game, but Eric sat in towards the end and played some inspired keeper.
Jeff for blue, 1-0
Lightspeed Joe, from Jeff, 2-0
Imad for white, 2-1
Shamu from Imad, 2-2
Keebs taps one in after Adrian hit the post, for white, 2-3
Imad again, but I think he was offsides, 2-4
Aikaz for white, 3-4
Jamal for white, 3-5
Imad, 3-6
Two water breaks and it was still pretty tough going in the heat. I forgot to mention last week that Jordan has announced his retirement from soccer, something about a torn ACL and meniscus. It's too bad, he was really at the top of his game.

Sunday June 17, Fathers' Day, Dimos' Day
We were snowed out for Dimos' 60th in January, and we never had enough players to make a worthwhile tribute, until today. Friends Jake, Marlen, George & Aikaz joined us and we had a good old fashioned 30 player cluster fuck of a game. Steve in the blue net, Snarky Mark in the white:
Keebow gets it started for white, 1-0
Mario for white, 2-0
Rocco to Marlen, for blue 2-1
Rocco 2-2
Mario, 3-2
Jay's corner kick to Jeff, 3-3
Ceebow, for blue, 3-4
Birthday Boy Dimos for blue, as always, 3-5
Dimos again, 3-6
Mario to Keebow, but no, called back for a late offsides call
Mike for blue, 3-7 to end it.
The Ros had a fantastic opportunity when a a big corner kick arrived right at his foot. It would have been awesome! Mark had a bunch of great saves but a memorable one was off another corner kick by Jay to the head of Jeff. Mark wound up with both the ball and Jeff's head in his arms!
