The Walk-On
Bit of a controversy at practice last week -- Always on the lookout for additional players, coach Tom is pleased when a promising walk-on asks if he can join the team.
Tom defers when he learns the player's name: Brindan-Arturo-Fernando.
He says the name is too hard to remember and would take too long to call out for substituting.
Sponsor Jim agrees-- he says he could not find a shirt wide enough to put his name on the back.
Happily, the situation is resolved when the players convince Brindan-Arturo-Fernando. to change his name to "BIF"

Ricardo kicks the ball from near the center line. It soars high over everyones' heads.
It bounces high in front of the goal, then down and up past the goalkeeper's hands into the front of the goal. *
Tomi charges and heads the ball into the back of the net, sealing the deal!
* Now, That's a "SWEEPER"!
And, a little bit of Beckham from the past.

Great defense, guys!

Duncan's Pass and Position
Running away from the net, Duncan makes a beautiful no-look backwards pass to Matt, behind him.
Matt plants, then flips and turns for a shot.
Meanwhile, Duncan returns, open, positioned for a pass, or to back up Matt...
these guys have worked together, before... Ya' Think?
