Maremoto FC 2 - 3 FC Lightning

Despite having an inexperienced goalkeeper, Nic, Maremoto FC managed to keep the game close against FC Lightning. Although it was clear Maremoto could have tied or even won the match, FC Lightning won in large part because of their diminutive female striker. The defense did a great job of shutting down the Smurf-like striker, but she proved to be too big a pest. (I have provided an artist's rendering of the opponent's star striker, to the right).

An early goal from Andrea gave Maremoto a momentary lead and Beth regained the lead with her first goal of the season. 'New-boys' Sam and William did a great job of fitting into a defensive system anchored by Lauren, Vivian and Beth. Unfortunately, Maremoto lost again but the team's improved organization gives reason to remain optimistic.

Player(s) of the Match: The Women. They all played great, On defense they maintained organization and hustled. Offensively, they generated most scoring opportunities and scored our only goals. Thank you Andrea, Beth, Lauren, and Vivian.

Maremoto FC 7 - 9 Ben Bridge

Ben Bridge and Alto scored 5 goals before Michael scored his first goal. They led the game 5-1 in the first half. The game changed drastically in the second half, when Katherine, Vivian and Beth starred in the defense and the trio of Michael, Vasily and Enrique started a shoot out. The team's leading attacker, Michael, scored four goals followed by Vasily and Enrique. In a game where we scored a season high of seven goals and cut the lead from 7-1 to 9-7, Maremoto was just two goals shy of a legendary come back.

Player of the game: Katherine's defense was great especially her duels with Alto. She helped the offense get into a rhythm.

Honduran takes over China

A Honduran, Emil Martinez, was named Player of the Year in China's top league. Since this involves my former home, as well as Yong's, I thought I'd share a couple of Martinez goals with you.

Maremoto FC 4 - 8 Gunners

Coming off the 93 Smackers and The crazy 88 games, Maremoto was determined and hyped to win this one, as well. The game started with a nice goal from Michael and followed by another one from Sixto. It wasn't too long before the Gunners took full control of the first half, and edged Maremoto by 4-2.

Michael and Nic scored two more goals in the second half, however the final score was 8-4. Even though the score reflects a rout, the game was much closer than it looked. It was a fun game to be part of.

Player of the Game: The invisible hero of the Maremoto team Beth, did not only run all over the field, help the defense and midfield, but also saved a definite goal.
