Schedule notes

Hi everyone, greetings from Antwerp, a fretty funky town. I'll be back for this weekend's game.

A couple of notes for the season. Two of our games have been pushed back to later in the day. Note the updated schedule on this website.

Also, no word yet on a potential reschedule of the Lost Tourists game.

Let's get ready to play this weekend! You'll be hearing more from us on that.

SUNDAY APRIL 25 GAME CANCELLED

Hey Guys,

The other team had to forfeit due to lack of players so no game this Sunday :(

Email us if you have any questions.

Where's Alec...?

 

Hey Ally - sorry I didn't make it out to the game yesterday. I should have let everyone know that I have a new work cell (and a new job, ha) which I'm yet to import all of my contacts into. I texted Peter from my 631 number, but I'm not sure if he got it.  

 

Otherwise, I am OK. Glad to hear you guys won yesterday. What time is the game next Sunday?

 

-Alec

Out of Office

On April 9th, I'm headed to France for two weeks. It's going to be awesome. We've got an apartment in the center of Paris, not too far from Champs Elysee. We're going to enjoy the city and do a few day trips. We've got one overnight planned to the Normandy Landing Beaches. You'll be getting way too many updates from me on facebook.

Since it will be relatively slow going, I may post a few times on the blog. And I'm going to try to bring some boots so I can join in some pick up if I can find it.

Ally's your point of contact for everything. She's got this thing. You're going to be sorry though. She's kind of a disciplinarian.

Good luck, team!

Jon & Missy

This is a big week for Jon & Missy, two of my favorite people.

On Saturday, they are getting married in the area.

After that, they're off to the Caribbean. This, apparently, is some kind of excuse for Jon not making our April 18th game (?).

I'm sure you would agree that Jon & Missy are great together. Personally, I couldn't be happier that they are getting married. I wish them the best.

Missy is our #1 Fan. She's at the games. She shows up to the happy hours. She talks Jon down when he gets a little too worked up.

I'm worried about two things though. First, let's hope she doesn't change her mind in the next few days because Jon is a seriously lucky man. Second, let's hope when they're married that we still see get to see Missy. It's pretty common for the wives to drop out of the soccer scene once they secure the union; they're interest in watching a group of adults struggle to kick a ball dissipates. I've seen it a million times. And I speak from experience. While I have all the support in the world at home for my soccer endeavors, I do get quite a few teasing remarks thrown my way when the Goleros texting network goes into high gear on Sundays.

Anyway, feel free to use this space to commemorate the occasion for our friends. Congratulations to them both!

Team outing to the DCU game

We got a bunch of tickets to the DC United game on Saturday, April 17th. The 7:30 game is versus the Chicago Fire.

Unfortunately, all of our free tickets are taken. But feel free to contact Zach Walker at DCU for your own tickets. There will likely be plenty of room to watch the game in the same place.

CBT Team Photo

Here's our excellent squad. I may enable a Picasa slide show later, but for now, you've probably seen the photos on facebook.

Goleros part ways with "El Niño"

As difficult as this is to write, it’s time for us to go in another direction. After six years and approximately 40 goals, we had to make a tough cut before the roster deadline – Chris is going to have to play with another team on Sundays.

Don’t get me wrong, he was one of our greatest players. After all, he used to drive from Baltimore for games and impress us with his motorcycle. But each season, things got more weird and he steadily made more demands. About two years ago, he started demanding that the team offset his fees so he could pay for kangaroo-leather indoor shoes. When he bought custom socks to match our orange uniforms, he sent the bill to me. Last year, he convinced me that he should only have to run in the offensive half of the field and that he shouldn’t have to pass to anyone he didn’t like, which included me. But this year, it went too far. He wanted the team to pay for weekly pedicures so that his pretty little feet didn’t get messed up in games. I think we have to make a stand here, folks.

Good luck, Chris!
