Why the delay on the Campo score this week? I need my weekly ode to footballing greatness!!
Was #21 an older dude named Pete? If so, he would be my age
5-2 Astro over SW Eagles
WITH THE FROSTS OF LATE FALL DESCENDING ON JERICHO TURF, THE DIAMOND THAT BEGAN TO FADE IN HER EYE DID NOT GIVE WAY TO THE STYLE THAT IS BOUND BY THE POWERS OF ---
.... I can't do a Campo review.
Astro controls the first 35 minutes. SW Eagles bend but then a corner kick flicked header makes it 1 - 0 Astro.
Astro has a nap on a throw in, breakaway against our 4th string goalie = 1 - 1.
Astro gets 2 more before the half. Another Astro nap 5 minutes into the second half, and a duplicate breakaway, 3 - 2. But then nothing to worry about, play is controlled, goes to 4 - 2, they get a red card in the 75th and pop the top, 5 - 2.
Astro now 6 - 0 - 6 after being 1 - 0 - 5. Looking forward to a matchup with Greencaps upcoming!
(P.S. this game had 7 goals, and that's the full recap. I wonder how long a 0 - 0 recap might be?)
I was there watching as well, wanted to see what the hype of campo was about against one of the top teams. This analysis makes it seem like the game should have finished 3-0 or 4-0 to campo, let me just say ABSOLUTELY NOT. This was a match played very competitively by both sides. In my opinion, Campo was out chanced by GN, but neither side was able to produce a final product. Regardless, at the end of the day, based on the results, GN wins this season series on aggregate. Excited to see the second half of the season in this league.Campo Atletico 0 - GN 0
The Campo Atletico players started a long journey on an deeply cold and dark night. A journey that seemed to take forever with the painful slow traffic and numerous unfortunate accidents that were encountered along the highway.
Campo players started to arrive as they could one by one on the desolated pitch that was engulfed by thick white fog. They were welcomed by the image of the collected GN players on their martial arts like warm up.
We knew that GN is the team with the best record in the division with no losses, but there was no fear or sense of real threat even when playing on this climatic adverse conditions. Perhaps the memory of the last game was fresh in our memories.
They game started at relatively slow pace. GN would control the ball in their own third defensive zone, but they could not pass the confrontation line with ease. Thus, time after time the ball was recovered by the defensive line or our holding midfielders. Sometimes the counter attack and transition would result in a relatively dangerous opportunity.
The Campo defensive line proved to be one of the most solid of the entire division once again by not allowing any threats. GN worked a nice combination that allowed penetration of lines once during the first half, but our libero managed to scoop the ball from the striker with no problem. A couple of errors on our part allowed them to intercept passes on the build up, but they shot wide or had a weak shot. That was about it for GN attacks. Nothing really dangerous.
During the second half our players controlled the play. GN was tired, and we were the ones doing the build ups and controlling possession. There were two real chances generated from this possesion that unfortunately our striker squandered.
The first situation arouse from having them retreat until the penalty box. On of our wingers made a nice penetrating diagonal pass in the air. One of our forwards controlled the ball. Both centre backs ran towards him. The other forward waited for the back pass. The ball was perfectly passed to the penalty spot, but the shot went wide.
The second chance was a one verstus one with the keeper after a good penetrating pass.
The Campo players almost scored in a unconventional manner. The keeper allowed a shot go between his legs, it went to the pots and bounced back to him, and the ball went back to the direction of the net, but it narrowly missed the goal.
Perhaps it is a just and fair result. GN did not manage to create threats. Campo had a few ones, but squandered them in a naive and painful manner.
GN is a very good team. It is clear that has good results; skilled players and good coaching. Our experience is that Snipers is way more dangerous and difficult to defend, but perhaps they do not have the consistency of GN.
My apologies I forgot to mention that Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee along with Snowhite and the seven dwarfs flew across traffic to watch the game and were seeing enduring freezing temperatures just by the allure of Campo's fame.I was there watching as well, wanted to see what the hype of campo was about against one of the top teams.

We are very honoured by this.
It is a matter of opinion, but we felt no threat from GN.
Perhaps a more interesting topic. Who will get promoted? The four points that GN lost with Campo might be the ones that give Snipers promotion.
I predict the Snipers for promotion. rhinos will win the other division.

Ahhh... So no link between the animal, the logo, and Dali. I thought that pretty cleverly they were tying them all. Their logo reminded me of the picture of Dali with the animal.There is no H in Rino's
