I got an early Father’s Day / 45th Birthday yesterday. The Royal Peasant FC qualified to the 35yr+ playoffs with a resounding 7×1 win. Cheers!! The prize (or “price”): a grade 2+ ankle sprain. Or as the Dr. put it: the good news is no fracture; the bad news is that you did a [...]

an ESPN experience

Back at home. No trophies this time, but the kids certainly showed they can play with nationally and regionally ranked teams and hold their ground. I’m very proud of the AUSA Wizards and especially proud of Lorenzo – in my very bias opinion, the best player in the team in this tournament! In the first [...]
Forza Enzo!!!

Back in Orlando for the Memorial Day weekend, this time for a soccer tournament. Lorenzo is playing in the “Memorial Day Soccer Shootout” being held in the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. The Athens United U11 team is quite good, but I really have no idea about what to expect here. Hopefully they will [...]
The Results

Summer is almost over, and I’m falling way behind on my posts…I will try to catch up in the next few days. Starting with the Spring Soccer Season and the “Every Goal Saves a Life” challenge…the kids did not disappoint us! The Gladiators had another undefeated season, scoring a total of 75 goals: Game #1: [...]
The Challenge

I found out the other day that Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) is donating $10 for every goal they broadcast towards the “Every Goal Saves a Life” campaign against Malaria. After checking the campaign’s web site (http://www.malarianomore.org/), I decided to get involved by challenging the Gladiators – Lorenzo’s soccer team. At the end of last practice, [...]
Soccer Withdraw Already

It is hard to believe that the Fall Soccer Season has come and gone. Poof! I’m sorry I didn’t keep the posts up-to-date, for it was a good one. The Gladiators finished another season undefeated, and “our boy”, Lorenzo, was the leading scorer (a.k.a. Golden Boot), scoring 22 goals in 7 matches and doubling the [...]

Fall 2008 – Game #3
October 13th, 2008 · No Comments
It’s been already three weeks since The Gladiators played Game #3, and I’m afraid to say the game details are already getting a bit fuzzy. Fortunately, I did post the photos with comments shortly after the match, so one can get a feel for the game by reading the photos’ descriptions. In a nutshell, we [...]

Fall 2008 – Game #2
October 5th, 2008 · No Comments
I must say that I did expect our team to win our first match. However, I wasn’t so sure about our second match against the YMCA team. And I certainly didn’t expect us to dominate the match with such ease. But remember last season’s posts on “how big” some of the other kids were compared [...]
Soccer Season is Back…
September 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Soccer season is back y’all…and the Green Team had another great start — despite all the changes. Only 3 of the 12 players from last season’s undefeated team have returned: Lorenzo, Hunter, and Rylan. The new team is now mostly composed of younger kids who have recently moved up from U8 — the Under 8 [...]
Spring 2008 – Game #8
May 18th, 2008 · No Comments
This was the last match of the season, and everyone was excited about the possibility of finishing it undefeated. Now, I don’t understand why the AUSA would do this, but we had to face the Gold team for the third time for our final match. During all the previous matches, in addition to coach Matt [...]
