GREAT DISPLAY of SUPERIORITY

-

The game against Burlington FC could be viewed in so many different ways, for example they played poorly, Woodbridge Strikers were superior or Strikers simply outplayed them. All these Analogy have the potential of being correct.

The last competitive meeting against Burlington according to my blog post reference that they parked the bus but still succumbed to a 4:0 defeat. This time around in all honesty they tried,  showed bravery in crossing over into Woodbridge Strikers half with intentions of scoring.

When FC Barcelona dominance is visible enough for even the blind to see no one make mention that opposition is "Not Good" but rather FC Barcelona is "GREAT". Therefore I will not diminish how great Woodbridge Strikers played by saying Burlington isn't a good team.

So I will just paraphrase (some of) the Burlington parents comments.

That our boys played with superior quality.
Ball control is very good.
Knows how to rotate the play and not force the attack.
The boys exhibits signs of being coach professionally.

I endorsed the kind words with thank you, but was quick to let them know that we had players missing and in honesty Strikers didn't play full tilt in my opinion.

There were some incandescent moment by our boys that impressed even the older boys watching on. Ethan has now joined the ranks of freekick maestro by scoring a beauty. It's praiseworthy seeing Damiano, Jon-Michael and Tayshaun B. kicking off their respective goal tally for this season,  while Jordan continues his streak. The other scorer is the league leader, Tremaine.

Creditable mention to Anthony and Isaiah who started together for the first time this season within the heart of midfield. Needless to say, seeing how the coaches didn't work yesterday ... They should be quite ready to shout come Saturday.

Relaxing game and a great win in preparation for the weekend tournament.. Umbro Cup.

Best of luck Boys !!!

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
