Another Loss 2-1

A last minute big bounce left us with our 4th loss of season. I should have put the game away with my 5 fast break chances, none of which went in. not to mention 2 or 3 shots from the top of the box. I did get one goal, a little chip over the keeper's head but I blame myself for the loss.

6-1 loss

We got smoked pretty good without Greg and Carlos. There were 2 really good goals, one by the other team where the guy vollied the ball 2x's and put in in the upper 90 and one by some indian guy that subbed for us.

Sumer Game 2

We Lost last night to cambo united 5 to 3 but it was one of my best games ever. I scored 2 goals, one off a lob from Randy right down the middle which I side netted and a volley off of a throw in from about 20 yards. I also pulled of a couple new moves: the chop behind and some reverse turns. David also had a sweet goal from about 25 yards that he put over the keepers head.

Ram Big Horn 4 - Racer X 5

The first payoff game finds us again on turf at Genesse Upper. It's a perfect night for a kick around against our old foes Ram Big Horn.

Racer X takes the lead early on a poor back pass by a Ram defender. With a burst of speed Mark is able to get onto the end of the misplaced ball putting it past the keeper. The Big Hornys tie it up minutes later when Ref decides not to whistle offsides against 3 players. The fast break goal makes it one - one.

Tico gives us the lead again on a pass/shot from Chris but the joy of the lead is short lived as the Ram Striker blasts a powerful arcing shot into the far net. The 1/2 ends 2-2.

The 2nd half sees Ram Big Horn take the lead on what could be considered the header of the year. A corner ball is swung in near post which the Big Horn Striker meets near post and directs perfectly into the corner.

Randy is able to pull us even off a perfect pass from Mark. The shot hits the keeper hands but finds it's way to the back of the net. Racer X then takes the lead off a throw in the is headed from Randy to Chris to Marks feet and into the back of the net. With 10 minutes left it looks like Racer X's game to lose.

With 2 minutes left Racer X gets caught with not enough guys back and the game is now even again. But as time expires Racer X makes one more push. Lances works the ball from the left side of the field to the right where he finds Chris wide open. He takes 2 touches and strikes....Game over.

Racer X is now in position to win the League Title.

Imperial Prints 4 - Racer X 3

Our only game on sand also turned out to be the worst officiated game of the season. I'm the first guy to say that being a Ref isn't easy and we should cut them a break but this dude was way too wistle happy.

It was a back and forth game that saw both teams take the lead. Carlos got 2 goals and David added another in the loosing effort. The difference in the game came on a late corner that bouced off Greg's Jimmy Hat and into the goal. Not the best end to the regular season but that's the way the balls bounce sometimes.

Game 2 make-up Racer X - 3 Ram Big Horn 0

The first really rainy game of the season finds the Racer X team at one of my favorite fields, Bobby Morris. Right from the start Racer X finds them selves in control of the game but they aren't able to open up their account until minute 35. A pass from Zack finds Chris in the box. He's able to control and side-net a left footer. The Rams answer back with a fast break that just sneaks under Mark. Adam almost saves it but 5th gear just doesn't kick in. The half ends 1-1.

Racer X takes the lead for good on a pass from Zack that Chris bangs in off the defenders foot. The looping shot sails over the keeper and into the corner. Racer x is able to put one more goal away but I can't remember who scored it.

Men of the match go to Randy and Lance for outstanding midfield play and controlling the game. Great job guys!!

Game 5 Racer X 3 FC Globo 3

First let's start off with an R.I.P. for Steve Peck who as officially retired from Racer X. You were a great defender for the Racer X team when you weren't getting yellow carded or throwing balls at people's heads.

As for the game, it was another cold one for the Racer X crew. Globo gets a fast break that's stopped by Steve but earns him a yellow card. After some confusion, Racer X ends up a man down and Globo exploits the advantage with a few passes an puts away an early goal. At this point a Racer X player is shown a second yellow and game is almost called due to lack of sportsmanship but with all the confusion surrounding the departure of said player no one notices that Racer X still has 11 players on the field. Racer x has a few chances, one off the post but the half ends 1-0 Globo.

Racer X pull even early in the 2nd half on a pass from Carlos to Chris at the edge of the box. The left footed shot is hit low and hard past an out of position keeper. Racer then takes the lead. After David's shot is parried away by the keeper Tico is there for the follow chipping it over a diving keeper. Globo counters with 2 more goals to regain the lead but with a final surge Randy is able to knock in a far post cross off his twig and berries.

Man of the Match honors goes to Tico for his Key goal.
