One more for the perfect score

Posted by Rob Anderson on Jan 19 2009 at 04:00PM PST
SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKE:  For the first time ever, Ouzo arrived at the 1st division playoffs as the unbeaten top seed. To say the least, there is expectation in the camp. Not least of a perfect season but of the banquet of FREE 'beers wings' that lays ahead. The holy grail for the men of Ouzo. It has become such folklore in these parts that even our 'cherished' nemesis the 'bulls hit' the bar with us on regular occasions.

And so to the game. With the 'Di-laney show' still ringing in our ears and a hardy warm-up of Rye shots, Ouzo took to the field to face the 4th seeded Team Korea. Andersons Team talk echoed the importance on controlled aggression to get us through this crafty opponent. Our first step of authority involved the use of the Ouzofied Tango match ball and that 'if they want to use their piece of sponge then they should have won the league' - Anderson TM.

The game started as expected. Controlled aggression 20 seconds in and Delaney sweeping the legs kung fu style from one of our opponents. 'I got the ball' was the cry and although the referee agreed a free kick was still given. Team Korea worked the ball well and ten minutes in, all was still square with both teams trading shots (not ouzo mind you!!). A particularly 'in form' Spencer kept the Koreans at bay and turned defense into attack on a number of occasions. But it took a powerful run from Anderson from within his own half and a clinical finish for Ouzo to break the deadlock. 1-0.

Tails were up Ouzo continued pressing.  Sac using his 'cat like prowess' bounced into the right hand corner to lay the ball back for Matt to 'pound one' into the bottom left with all watching and no one moving..2-0

Seeing the Koreans sit back after this, Delaney foraged swiftly forward down the left and having rebounded his own shot and header found the net with next rebounded header...3-0. Must be said there was one spectator who was very proud of this moment...is that Mrs. Di-laney to be?

Half time. Keep it up lads!!  And they did. Ouzo were now playing for keeps. No crazy moments of madness, no cards and no fights. Even though the Korean team tried to ruffle a few feathers there was little to stop us rounding out 6-0 winners with further contributions coming from Anderson, Rusnov(with his vigorous carpet burns!) and the returning Snitzel-the tanned body-hawk who is saving his toe poke for next week’s FINAL.

The ref again impressed....something is seriously wrong here!!!

And to the Bar...The excitement was surely getting the best of us as we happily ordered everything on the menu and more pitches than the table could fit followed by free OUZO shots! We love Wingers and Wingers loves OUZO FC.

Perfect score...? Just UNO MAS!!
