STRIKERS CONTINUE TO IMPRESS

-

Today our boys were in a soccer game that was really competitive...it could have rival any of the World Cup Games played so far with the exception of Portugal verses Spain.

In the first quarter both teams were busy figuring  each other out  just like boxers do in the ring. With the inclusion of some new players on to start the second quarter, momentum picked up a few notches for the Strikers. Quickly resulting in a beautiful team goal.

Of all previous five games played before, today our goalie had the most touches on the ball. Cristian demonstrated that his defenders can count on him to make the saves if the ball does get through. That he did in superlative fashion and not wanting to say who was the best, I will just say that the opponent's goalie coach stated, he could be a shoo-in as the provincial keeper. He further stated that we have a very good team and that we just handed them their second lost and they're now 4:2.

The boys maturity in switching play especially out of midfield is quite remarkable. Also the confidence is blossoming by the Strikers' playing out from the back with different options now available because of the movements in front.

There will have to be a trophy for the player who hit the crossbar most frequently throughout the OPDL season as it happens every game. Another great win for the boys and teammates who are still recuperating. Which brings me to the point of players playing hurt and not wanting to let the coaches know that they're not feeling  one hundred percent on the field is not a good idea because that's not proving toughness it might only make injuries worst.

As we continue to be inspired by the world renowned players who are on television playing in Russia, let us also be inspired by our boys possiblity for the future.
Luka ensured once again that his name got on the score sheet. Daniel put a beautiful header  in the back of the net  and Marco finished it off with a well placed PK leaving Messi shocked that his got saved again.

Lets keep the streak going 6:0.

STRIKERS STRIKE AGAIN

Firstly, let me extend congrats to coach Joe and coach Marco for the splendid job in the absence of coach Chris. Honestly, I don't know where to begin as it was highly entertaining and exciting in the same breath. The first quarter was totally Ethan's show, speed, quickness and deadly finishing only to be missed by mom Mavis. Coach Joe realized that the opponent's challenge was not forthcoming, so he decided to experiment with formation and players in different positions. Tayvin was slotted into the center forward position. Seeing him in a break away heading towards goal our contingent of supporters started cheering loudly for him to score. The moms went wild when he eventually did. While, dad Delroy tried to hide his excitement by keeping his head held down. Seeing how the boys are interchangeable between position tells me how versitile the squad is... for example Gianluca playing as a left defender. Our domination was evident based upon the score. Is it because the opp

WHERE WAS THIS BEFORE ?

The weather condition was very conducive for soccer. Did it materialized into a brilliant game of soccer especially in Woodbridge Strikers favor ? Playing against TFC OPDL boys from rumors one also has to contend with the referee's decision...we have witnessed it first hand. The roar by Strikers is always a determining factor of their vibes if they are in for a good game and today's shout could be heard from far and wide. Strikers sent a verbal message before a ball was kicked or the blowing of the referees whistle. Even in warm up gave the impression of cohesion, professionalism and focus. TFC came out from kick off as a rocket fired into space trying as best as possible in stopping Woodbridge Strikers Boys from playing out of defense. If that was their game plan Strikers quickly nullified it and laid it to rest. The saying goes don't give what you yourself cannot take. Strikers reversed the role on TFC and started pressing them from the keeper makes the pass either to

As Seen Through A Parent's Telescope

Brian is photographed in the above photo His excitement was hard to detect behind the humility and shyness of his personality. It took some convincing for Brian, Cristian's dad, to agree on doing a written article from a parent's view point. He was asked specifically to share from a parent's experience coming from a family that possesses a rich history in the sport. According to Brian, "Cristian's selection to travel to Southampton (UK) was a privilege to say the least. In addition to our regular Club training, Cristian attended additional goalkeeper training prior to departure, not knowing the level and caliber we were walking into. From the onset, Elite Tournaments who organized the event had a jammed pack itinerary set for the boys. Their day started with an early morning breakfast and off to training they went. They trained on and off the field following the exact schedule as the Southampton's first team. They had to be both physically and menta
