Maremoto FC 0- 5 Ich Liebe

The game started uneven from the beginning. Maremoto struggled to answer the goals from Ich Liebe. The first half finished 4-0. In the second half the difference was five points and Maremoto was allowed to get an extra player. Funny, there weren't any more goals. Sad but true, we were shut out.

Player of the game: Yong, it could have been worse.

Goal of the week: There was not any.

FC Lightning 4- 8 Maremoto FC

First of half of the game was competitive. FC Lightning introduced a rough and aggressive play first half with intense collisions, our team got physically punished. Despite the controversial 2 minutes of physical play, Maremoto was still in the game despite FC Lightning leading 3-2, but the most aesthetic goal of the first half was a chipped assist from Michael to Nic. Nic volleyed the ball over the goalie and in the back of the net.

FC Lightning was hoping to keep the score tied by wearing out their opponent with their aggressive game, however, they didn't know that Maremoto was a second half team. Maremoto started to spread the offense and control the ball much better and pushed the game into home team's field. The route was on with Michael's three goals, Beth two goals and one goal each from Enrique, Yong and Nic. The final score 8-4.

Player of the game: This may not have been the highest scoring game for Maremoto, but it was definitely the best performance. One player was able to standout, Beth covered the field from post to post and with her aggressive play pushed the second goal through a defender and a goal keeper.

Goal of the game: When Sarah placed the ball in to the box on a free kick and Enrique had a beautiful header, at that point FC Lightning was aware the game was out of reach.

Maremoto FC 2 - 5 The Crazy 88

The Crazy 88 started with a big pressure on our defense. They were looking for a possibility of a quick goal. Having watched the Chinese team in Olympics, Yong wasn't going to give the Crazy 88 an opportunity. He set up the "Great Wall of China" and inspired the rest of the team. The first half finished with two goal deficit.

Maremoto started the second half with the Duo, Michael and Diego, and found two goals to pull the game into reach (3-2). Despite Yong's great saves and Katherine's endless efforts, the game ended 5-2. Even the third half wouldn't satisfy team Maremoto, so we had to have an after game to move on from the loss at the Magnuson Park, which could be the new tradition of the summer league.

The Player of Game: Who could be a better goal keeper than the Great Wall of China. With his great efforts and inspiring game, Yong kept the game always in reach for team Maremoto.

Maremoto FC 7 - 9 Mano Verde

This season has been a success and the number two ranking was a good indicator. We had a great performance against all of the teams, except Ben Bridge where we had to surrender to Alto the Ref. We were hoping to keep winning this week, however the game started unexpectedly. Maybe because it was the only game where we had enough subs, so the team wasn't motivated enough..? Long story made short, Mano Verde had six unanswered goals in the first half.

Maremoto wasn't going to go down without a fight. There was a totally different team on the field in the second half. The team had various leaders. Goals came from everywhere as Michael had three, Diego two and Enrique had one. The second half come back witnessed Utku becoming the team's defensive leader resulting with the nick name "the Bear Stangler." Maremoto managed to outscore its opponent in the second half, but all Mano Verde had to do was slow down the game and wait for it to be over. They almost suffered for it, as the clock was stopped a few times. Then Marie finished the game with a beautiful last second goal but the winner was Mano Verde, sadly.

Maremoto FC 6 - 3 Cosmic Not's

I'd like to congratulate everybody who contributed to Maremoto's this season's the probable best game. Special thanks to Bonnie, who came for help, even though she was nursing her knee injuries from last two seasons and what a performance she had in defense, midfield and offense. Lauren and Beth also played full time, Lauren defending the violent attacks of Cosmic Not's and Beth as usual being the most athletic player on field.

Maremoto started the first half with two early goals from Michael. Unfortunately, Maremoto experienced a fatique in defense and furious Cosmic Not's managed to close the first half in tie. Our Euro Cup Champion representer Diego was not going to allow the opponent team to take the lead. He was looking for a "Spanish Style Goal" and scored a beautiful one from the right side of the goal post in to the high left side, yet Cosmic Not's had a female goal keeper and it didn't count. This was not going to bring Diego down, and he scored another goal from a similar position to take the lead to 3-2 .

The tenacious opponent team was not going to give up so easily and they tied the game with out realizing that they got Yong angry. Our fast Chinese forward had two generous goal assist to Vasily to take the lead, and he sealed the victory by scoring the last goal of the game.

Player of the game: This game had more than one hero, however, one person turned the game back from 3-3 and pull it out of Cosmic Not's reach. Yong should be the unanimous player of this game.
