Lads,

The dream of the double is over, so now we concentrate on the main goal which is winning the league. We played a very good team last night and while 2 of their goals were offside they were overall the better side. Lets focus on Sunday now, everyone needs to be there at least 45 minutes before kickoff so we can warm up properly and get our heads right for the game. Too many early goals are being conceded at the moment and that is something we need to stamp out. Learn from last night and make it the last defeat we have this season.

Well written Angry. On a positive note, we played a scoreless draw in the 2nd half v. the top club at the moment in NJSL World. I did not see them relax with lead, they wanted more. The difference was trust in putting the ball to each others feet, two guys at least coming to the ball to support, more runs, more aggressiveness, more focus, comfort on the ball. When they scored those goals, it appeared we were watching and paralyzed and waiting. It's 90 minutes hard core. Good job not giving up in the second half and fighting...I heard some positive feedback from Sportfriends and I think it was bc our performance in the 2nd half.

(from the other state cup thread)

Gentlemen,

Last night we ran up against a far superior club. Not only did they have Larry-like speed all over the pitch, but they had no drop off coming off the bench and most importantly stuck to their game throughout. A quality club, easily one of the best clubs we've had the pleasure of playing since our foray into the Over 30's leagues.

We showed great heart. Our second half effort was solid football and we had chances thanks to the pressure put on by everyone on the field. I want to thank you for everything you did last night. We never gave up even in the face of the scoreline. We adjusted, attacked but were not lucky to break through.
On the other hand, Gali got himself another score, one that came out of effort and not giving up. We should all learn.

Now that's over- we got out with no injuries except to our pride.

On to our hunt for the crown. Perth Amboy this weekend. Let's get back to business and make sure the GSSL knows who the top club in the league is.

See you sunday
(to be determined where yet)

Assist goes to the ref, for distracting the defender and goalie long enough for Juan to get up and smack the ball into the net.
