What a difference a season makes. In the fall, some early attendance woes left us with a 0-2 record and zero points after the first two games. This spring, we're 2-0, with 6 points in the bank. Will this momentum last?
Hope so.
We played a great match last weekend versus Celtic, a team we had not previously beaten outright in two attempts. Once we scored the first goal, we were never in danger of losing this time around. We had a good attack and a steady defense led by Liam, who recorded his second shutout in a row. The midfield was effective.
Two plays stand out in my mind. The first was Nate's frantic turn on the near sideline that led to the first and winning goal. Great effort! The second was an uneventful play in which we were faced with a quick counter by Celtic. Mike hustled back to the middle and simply put a body on their central midfielder. The attack was disrupted and they had to pass back instead of advance. We reset and regained possession. When we do that, we usually win.
Jon, a.k.a. "Bubbles" scored two more goals this week, opening up a commanding lead in the prestigious Goleros Spring Season Scoring Title. Please, someone give him some competition.
What did you think of the game?
