Fall 2009 Recap

Things have worked out great now that I've made the move to Mondays and The Warriors. There are lots of great players on the team which means I get a lot more chances. I really could have had more with better finishing but I'll take 11. More practice, lifting, and training for the next 6 weeks until the new season starts.

Golden Boot

My goal is to be the top scorer for the league this season. With 5 Goals and 6 games to go I think it can happen.

Hat Trick

After 2 sub par games the last 2 weeks, I was able to get a hat trick last night. I started off pretty bad. 2 Balls over the top found me but I couldn't control the first and the second I hit wide left. The first was an easy rebound goal, the 2nd a spectacular near post header and the third was a dribble in from the 18 toe punch. So that puts me at 5 goals 1/2 way through the season. Hope I can get to double digits.

New Team New Season

Last night I started playing with a new team, Strikers in GSSL Over 30 BB division. It was a good game ending in a 4-4 tie. I had 2 goals for my new team which seemed to impress everyone. I finished last season with 10 goals and 6 assists which is great considering I only played about 7 games.

Below is my latest pair of boots. The Adidas Adipure II Roma edition. So far I've scored 5 goals in 3 games with these bad boys.

Free Kick Perfection

Last night we lost game 9 of the season 7-6 but I did get 2 goals and an assist. The first goal was a perfectly taken free kick from about 20 yards on the left side of the field. It went over the wall and dipped into the upper left corner. The second was off a throw in. I ran to and then let it go by me, took 2 touches and pounded a shot that the keeper couldn't push over the bar.

It's been a good season for goal scoring, I just hope I can carry it over to GSSL.

I did play in my new adipure II's. They aren't as comfy as my Ronaldinho dois but I cant argue with the results......

Goals Goals Goals!!!

The summer season is off to a great start with Racer X being 2-0-0 out of the gate. We've switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation and it's made a big difference and how we are playing. We won our first a game 5-2 and our game yesterday 8-2. We really seem to be moving the ball around better and we have much better players these days. I have 5 goals and I'm really hitting the ball well. Yesterday I had another sweet left footed strike at grasslawn. For some reason I can kick with my left in the games. I also had a penalty and another left footer that I played around with at the top of the box, juking a couple guys before slotting home another left.

Hat Trick

I haven't been writing any game recaps because there hasn't been a lot to tell. I think I only scored 1 or 2 goals in Winter but this season has been much better. Last night I got a hat trick all in the second half to give us the 4-3 win and we were a man down. The first goal was a give and go with Tony, right down the middle. I hit it pure with the laces to the right of the keeper. On the second I got the ball at the 18 and for some reason the defense kind of stopped as I dribbled left. I took a few touches, opened my hips and slotted it left corner. The third goal was from a free kick from about 5 yards outside the left corner of the 18. I'm not taking a big run up anymore, just 2 or 3 steps and trying to place it. I hit a big swinger that caught the crossbar, bounced down and in. That's my first free kick goal and it felt great.

So that puts me at 5 goals and an assist and I've only played 4 games this season due to a Sunday game, Ashle's birthday and Kylee.
