"Build for your team a feeling of oneness,
of dependence on one another and of strength
to be derived by unity".
Vince Lombardi
After 8 games, we've found the secret to a great first half....a late afternoon game. After a morning of sleeping late, lounging around and catching the latest reruns on the Cartoon Network, we finally got around to soccer and we were ready to play.
Within the first two minutes, we knew the game was won, question was how to make it interesting for the next hour... but somehow we found a way.
Mike Marotta opened the scoring went he shot an Eddie Rosario rebound past an outstretched goalie. Minutes later a Safet Redzovic shot was stopped and a Richard Avvento rebound went wide, only to be jambed in by a sliding guest player, brother Miguel. BJ Bifalco's pass found the net, but not Safet. BJ kept passing and the forwards kept trying, but no one was scoring, until Birthday Boy Eddie Rosario settled a bouncing ball, stepped around a defender and drove a shot into the net from an unfamiliar midfield position and we were up by 4 into the half. Speaking of unfamiliar positions, this was the biggest lead we brought into a half all season.
Musical chairs were played at the start of the second half, with Eddie ending up in net, Katrina Wiesner as center full back, Daniel D'Alessandro as stopper. and BJ in Midfield. This was going to be interesting.
With the start of the half we had one mission, goals for our non-season scorers. We were down to three, but only two were playing, the third showing commitment to the wrong sport. Richard and Safet were at forward and every pass went to them. Ball after ball were knocked away and it looked like we'd have to wait till next game to get them on the sheet but we kept pushing. When RT drove past the defense and our back peddling keeper let a shot in, no one lost focus, and we played on.
As the game got colorful, BJ was kissed with a YELLOW and then smacked with a RED. We were down a man, but fired up. So much so that Matt Guthrie took a card of his own just to show that we meant business. With Greg Molina running the wing, his cross found the foot of Safet who couldn't miss this one and finally put it in. Minutes later the brothers Avvento connected again, this time Miguel to Richard and our goal was achieved. Greg took it from goal to goal for the last score and the Back 2 Back Division 1 Championship was now secured.
Seven separate scores in one game is truly a team accomplishment.
"Great Job!"
