SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - For the second straight game, Ouzo walked off the field in disbelief after a 3-0 defeat to AC Attack. Short players for the 3rd straight game, Ouzo was forced to pick up another two players on 10-day contracts.
AC Attack opened the scoring on a nice one-two play that was finished nicely in the bottom corner. Ouzo kept it close and with a little bit of luck could've equalized, but Attack's goalie came up big again. Still missing some key players to injury, Ouzo just didn't seem to have the same bite that they usually have. "Without the Schnitzel and Michae"lidesMAN" in the midfield, we don't seem to grind out those 50/50 balls" said Phil Kennedy after the game.
Attack scored a late goal with just under 3 minutes left in the game to seal Ouzo's fate.
Now 2-3-1, Ouzo still have the chance to finish in the top 4 for a playoff spot, but they will need to get their act together - starting this weekend in Welland. Ouzo take their drinking skills to the Niagara region to showcase their talents on and off the field, which should be an eventful weekend. The boys have vowed to take the Sunday games serious this year, especially after last years "Jeckal and Hyde" act from Saturday to Sunday.
Updates after the tournament as per usual...

SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Ouzo fall back to .500 after an embarrassing loss to league leaders Mesopotamia on Sunday. Forced to play without a full-squad, with injuries to Wright, Rusnov, Michaelides, Geisel and Polymerus, Ouzo wasn't able to maintain their usual level of intensity throughout the game.
After going down 1-0 early in the game, Anderson (1G) tied the contest after a nice feed from Behn Wurthman (1A). At that point the boys looked like they might just keep up with the pace of Mesopotamia. A late 1st half goal on a long-range shot put the league leaders up by 1 at the half.
The first half was played at am alarming pace, which would prove to be the end of Ouzo's chances this night. With Rusnov and Wright on the bench taking on the roles of Interim coaches, not even those two could get the boys to slow the pace down out there. "We only know how to play one way out there" said Rob Rusnov after the game. "It really works to our advantage when we have a full team, but man does it kill us when we don't have enough players". Mesopotamia scored 4 unanswered goals in the second half to finish Ouzo off 6-1. "Offensively we created some chances" said Wurthman after the game. Yes, that is often the case, but finishing those chances has always been the problem.
Ouzo prepare for there match next week against AC Attack, which will hopefully bring the return of Ouzo standout Rob Rusnov. Schnitzel, Michaelides and Wright are all still on the IR and there return looks dismal for this weeks clash with AC Attack. The team plays next week at 11:15am and will be looking to get over .500 before the Welland Tournament.
On a positive note, Raging Bulls took a clobbering by newcomers Lakeshore United 7-3, leaving them with 1 point after 5 games.
