So... I play in the Huntsville Adult Soccer League http://hasl.org/ in the first division for the team WOLDE, We are currently in 3rd from the bottom (read that as 1 game away from relegation or not) we have currently 12 points. The team below us, in the relegation spot, has 11 points. They will play the last place team, we will play the first place team. We've already beaten the first place team, 1-0. How exciting! Last year, we were a single point away from promotion... this year... fighting relegation... hilarious. By my math, and the 3 points for a win 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss: If the team we are fighting relegation against wins, and we win, it no matter. If the opposition wins and we don't win, we lose. As long as they don't win, we win. This is so complicated! They are a good team, who should be on top, we are a mid level team who should be mid-level. On a note that affects everyone: The National Weather Service is forecasting a 40 degree kick-off.... (that's a bit chilly down here in 'bama) I guess I'll post Wednesday night the results... honestly It'd be really funny if we got relegated, because the talent level on the team is just awe-inspiring, minus me of course, I just hit people.

What if you loose and they draw, wouldn't that put you tied at 12 pts? Would you then be relegated because of the goal differential? Then it wouldn't be "As long as they don't win, we win". But anyways, your fate is your hands so just win and don't worry about it.

It also snowed here yesterday so you have no sympathy from me with your "chilly" kickoff.

You damn yankees and your SNOW! you know me Joe, 45 degrees and I look like the kid from A Christmas Story.... Image

well we managed to avoid relegation. We won 2-1. I got my rear handed to me all night as one of their strikers was a bad man. I had two solid tackles, one saved a shot on goal, and one just kept my pride from getting hurt as I got burned. The shot on goal tackle was the most exciting, and earned me 4 duct tape butterflies as my medic fiance informed me that it needed stitches... I passed... and got the other guy kicked out. They play a long ball to (my) right of the field and then switch it through sending my man on, he was faster than me so he just went around, but when he slowed to shoot about 18 yards out, I saw my chance. coming from my right to left, I tackled in and hit the ball out to my teammate who was coming pounding in, right before this guy shot, when he put his foot down to try to go get the ball back, he stepped on my lower right thigh... hamstring area and just ripped my leg up. of course I've got to leave the field, and I point out to the official that is sending me to get the blood off, that normal dull cleats don't cut like that, you might want to check his boots. he does, the dude had filed the edges down til they were sharp and thin. If he had gone and changed boots it wouldn't have been a problem, but he saw fit ( the opposition was mexican they talk more than the bloody italians) to argue about it, and promptly cussed out the official... red... they picked up one more red card with about 10 minutes to go. So we held possession and passed until I would screw it up and just blast it down the field instead of giving it up. I had one really good opportunity to score and managed to screw it up as well. We had a free kick from about 40 yards, and I went up to had some height to the front line. Shot right at the keeper who drops it right on my foot... and I hit the post. I think if I was forced to reach for it I'd have scored... oh well. I'm way out of shape and it really showed tonight. SO my goal for the next season ( spring ) is to be in full 90 minute shape. WE shall see how that works out... but I need to get in shape bad because I sucked it up last night.

besides Liverpool won, who cares..

I got tossed last night on a long ball I was attacking, I was quite a bit faster than the defender and on the run to the ball he smartly got in my way.. While trying to jocky through his attempt at slowing me down the guy pulled a Ronaldo, Flailed to the ground as I broke contact and was going to be unopposed to the ball. Like I shot him in the head, where my contact to him was arm and maybe a bit of chest. Whistle blows and they claimed I struck him in the face. I was warned a little bit earlier for being a bit 'mouthy' in requesting a free kick as I was being tossed around like a rag doll.
[Reply]

I mentioned that to the official last night, the whole I'm getting shot by a sniper .50 BMG, he was very quick to tell the dirty mexicans to get the hell up. It was honestly kinda funny.
[Reply]

The last couple of match days have been good to me in fantasy (and Liverpool). Also, good thing you didn't get relegated because I don't think I could be friends with anymore.
[Reply]

youre all a bunch of dirty players.
[Reply]

Maybe, but I'm not diver. So I got that going for me, which is nice
[Reply]

I'm not dirty, I showered earlier... and I don't dive.. hangs head because liverpool lost... :-)

GO SPURS!!!

Ajax won the tough away game against FC Twente today and are now in 2nd position, equal points to AZ but a lesser goal difference.
