Crusaders 2 vs Phoenix Ole 7 (at RSA)
(No mistake there, we scored!!!)
Captain: Declan
After no games last weekend (due to illness), we actually had all twelve players ready to play against the unknown Ole from Phoenix. The sun was out right until kickoff, and then it poured! Mild temperature and rain, great weather for soccer!
I thought the team played well. I know that we are capable of a bit better though. There is always room for improvement. I would like to see more passing. The weather made it difficult for good passing this game though. It was wet, muddy, slippery...tough conditions for control. We also need to always pay attention to who is around us. We need to mark players on defense and find open space on offense. We could communicate better too. Too many times we had two or three players going for the same ball. We are on the same team!
The real excitement was the two goals we scored. On both occasions, there was great teamwork. Raymon was able to receive a pass and get the ball past the keeper for the first goal. Declan made a good pass to Sebby, who worked hard to get the ball close to the goal and center it, while William was in the perfect position to finish it off for the second goal.
Great job team! Scoring a goal is the result of the team working together...teamwork.
Unfortunately, the flu bug found us and we were unable to field a team for Sunday's game at Ashland. I hope we are all healthy (Ashland too) so we can try again next week.
Hmmm, not sure about this Nolan. I am pretty sure we never practiced posing like this at practice. Interesting look...
