v Los Gauchos

Stout FC has a new name  JETBLUE.   we were given uniforms by Jet Blue and we are thankful.  This season in the Oakland Park 7v7 we have many new player that we have recruited from Hollywood's Dowdy field.  Over the past 2 months Harry and I have been visiting the field on the corner of Johnson and Dixie.  The returning players are PK, Harry, Paul, Bubblegum, and Joel.  New players include Jack, Mikel, Stephen, Nico, and Chichi. 

Our first game was Saturday April 6.  We played the runner ups of last years season Los Gauchos.  breakdown:  1st 15 minutes 0-0.  we had very little offense but the defense was strong.  we did have a couple of set pieces but very unorganized.  PK made two great saves on long range blasts and several other shots on goal were off target.

2nd 15.  The first goal was strange a ball went into the box and their man fell down.  the ball landed at his feet and he kick it toward the goal where his player was close and put it in.  our players protested that a player on the ground cannot pass the ball, but it was a goal none the less.  2 more goals were scored before half and we were not looking so good.  

3rd 15   Much better offence.  We moved the ball.  Had shots on goal.  We got another set piece-corner kick.  Paul came from the defence position and went near post.  Stephen hit the cross perfectly to the near post and Paul scored the first goal of the season.  reminded me of Spain's Puyol who is so effective coming from the defensive position to score headers.  we scored another goal off of a penalty given from a hand ball in the box.  2-3   we are looking much better

4th 15   a couple of lapses allow 2 goals.  

final 2-5
