Monday Morning Report: March 9

We won! We won! We won! (By the way, looking at the picture, Mumbles, Khalid and Luis....you are wearing the WRONG JERSEYS....those are the old defunct jersey).

But WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON.

Life is funny sometimes. We weren't even suppose to play in Fairfax indoor this year! You may remember that back in December, I was stressing out about missing the registration deadline for the Fairfax Sportsplex (not my fault, their clerical error), and tried to figure out how to form two futsal squads. Well, instead, futsal never happened, and Fairfax contacted us last minute and gave us a spot to play.

Well, look how that turned out! For the third time in our team history, we won the championship of our indoor season (2005, 2006, 2009). The game was nail-biter. We were knotted at 2-2 halftime, having conceded their tying goal rather comically. Georgie came out to clear the ball and completely whiffed, and thus gifting them the goal to go into the interval.

We re-focussed in the second period and went up 4-2, but a hand-ball called on me gave them the opportunity to draw closer at 4-3, and then 4-4. With 5 minutes to go, I thought that whoever scored next will win the championship. Just when I was putting in some offensive substitutions, Chris took the ball to the right corner, and with an impossible angle, put a ball past their outstanding goalkeeper. 5-4 was the final score, and we were victorious!

Whereas Mumbles scored the most yesterday, and Chris scored the brilliant winning goal, the man-of-the-match was Georgie. The man who created for himself the title of "indoor captain" (indoor captain? what the hell is that? but he forced me to give it to him!) played like a champion yesterday, flying all over the place, stopping virtually anything and everything. I thought it was the best performance out of Georgie I have ever seen. Maybe he should work 'til midnight every day during the week, every week....so he can play like that....always!

So, hopefully, the commissioner will contact me about their "champion's t-shirts" this week. I'll go fetch them to add to our collection. Thank you a million times, Carlos and Luly for hosting the Luge party. I've asked him to write about that this week. With the arrival of the cops, I doubt we'll be able to have that party at the house next year. Oh well. We'll find another place.

Spring season for co-ed starts this week. Look out for those evites, you knuckle-heads! Until then, we get to relish the sweet victory of the winter indoor season. Yeah! Here's the "indoor captain" and the champagne!
