MATCH SUMMARY: (vs. Hellenic)
We won the match 6-1 with goals from Jim 1, Tim 1, Hector 1, Jeff 1 and Steve 2. We had moments of cohesive play, but for the most part (and everyone agreed at the end of the match) that we didn't play well. Saying that, we pulled out a victory. I understand that the pitch didn't help, however, we have to learn to adapt our play based upon a) the conditions and b) the opponent. There were moments of players talking to each other, intricate passing (few) and movement on and off the ball (fewer). They had a few handy players (including a Greek orthodox priest!) but otherwise didn't bring much to the pitch.
NEXT WEEK:
Next week's opponent will be the toughest match of the season thus far, having defeated us at the end of last season 2-1. If you recall, they celebrated like they had won the world cup when they defeated us, so lets take it to them. From what I recall, they have 1 handy midfielder and a quick striker.
PICK-UP:
Don't forget, pick-up footie in front of Hershey Medical Center at 6pm on Wednesdays. Jeff and I went last week and it was about 10 v. 10. Jeff and I will try to be there this week.

Thanks to Nick for a comprehensive review. I thought our biggest problem was that we allowed our opposition to slow the game down to a ridiculous pace. We have the ability to play quickly, play one-touch, and to attack. The next game will be a good step toward more difficult upcoming games. Good luck. Remember next Wednesday night as well - there were even some people out tonight, so unless there's a real downpour, people will show up.
i'm bummed i missed you guys - i drove by on my way home from work at 6:10 & didn't see anyone so i figured the rain had scared everyone off. see you at the game.
