Westside 5-1 Cracovia
We were down 1-0 from Merkl's first shot of the year...they didn't have many subs and we were sitting 8 deep on the bench with everyone running hard and it became a matter of time.
The Catliffs with 3 of the 5 goals (John with 2).

W.V.F.C. (Peg) 3 v. P.C.O.V. 1. Danny V. with two and Fin with a single on a PK. 1-0 at the half for WVFC and then up 2-0 10 minutes in to the second half on the PK. PCOV got one back and then we got another. A few other quality chances missed by WVFC in the 2nd, but 3 points was well deserved today. A few lads on the PCOV squad felt the ref scored all three of our goals and they were 'ROBBED' in West Van today. Just to make things clear, this is West Van and there is no crime is Pleasantville. The ref did have a few questionable calls, but it was the same for both teams. On to Sapp next week. Peter, once again, thanks for the 'Welcome' and sorry that we ruined your predictions on the match.

Peter,
No added stress to the weekend. Losing at poker and running out of beer on Friday night was stressful, especially when Sir M was not there to keep pace with me on the usual $20 donation to the poker table. Well done by you lads. Sounds like the Catliffs are scoring a few, so should be a good match in a couple weeks. BTW, took in the 2nd half of the Columbus v. Inter game and Inter was very very fortunate to get the 3 points. Field was slanted one way, but Inter fought hard and scored two. Benji and Sal still have some speed that will keep every backline on their toes.

Jinky,
Might be the first time the Scottish 2nd Division table has been posted on TTP. I'm sure others will now be glued to the table for the rest of the year and waving the fine colors of the Plastic Whistles. A good moral victory for the lads yesterday, as they were down 2-0 to the mighty Gretna and fought back for a tie. The Jags are half way to the double this year .............. a win in the league .......... and hopefully a win in the cup.

Jags. I couldn't disagree with you more. Our game was not slanted. It's called defending which we do extremely well. Oh, it doesn't hurt to have one of the best keepers either. We "weathered" the storm for sure. Columbus have some quickness but we kept them in check as well.
SCK ........ I did not see the first half, but just going by what one of your players said when I asked what the score was. He said that the field was sloped and that you had no business being in the game. Yes, I agree that Rob Z. is a good keeper. He could lay off with his Peter Smeichel imitation of tearing into his defenders on every single play. There were a few scrambles in the box that could have gone against you, but I guess that is all part of good defending.

JAGS, (and I am actually serious about this)Peter said:Predictions for the weekend:
Sapp, Inter, Westside, SFU, Port—welcome to the league WV
I thought "How nice of Peter to welcome us to week two by ending his predictions of victories by Sapp, Inter, WS, and SFU by addressing them personally to me at the end!!"Anyway, I like your picks for week three a lot better Peter, even though JAGS and Dicken_sider will be missing training on Thurs to don some fake 'burns, chest hair and huge gold medallion sweatin' to Neil Diamond belting out "Hot August Night"...
PS What colour does Sapp wear, white?
SCP: Stands for soccer in three different languages. No Portugese either. Our next game is against Cracovia. Sounds like they tackle a certain way. Any other comments, Peter since you guys played them? To JAGS, it must have been one of our players who wanted desperately to play. Maybe they should come out to training!
SCK,
Cracovia have some skill, but they were short subs last week. They did score the first one on some over-aggressive challenging on our part: our 2 centerbacks colliding (with no talk) going for a head-ball and the ball bounced to their unmarked forward who stroked it home nicely—Merkl's first shot of the year. I chalk that up to having 2 size 4 balls to warm up with (one of our rookies took the balls Thursday night and didn't show for the game...).
I'm not sure if they were missing some key players or what but they were getting frustrated at our style of play (they mistook aggressive for malicious) and a couple of them were getting pretty pissed at our guys who were, for the most part, oblivious to their post-whistle antics. The ref handed out a few yellows...
They had a couple of big guys in their back line that don't back down but at the end of the day we were fitter, faster and, dare I say, more skillful. There were some glorious opportunities that were missed that could have boosted our +/-.
Hope this has been helpful...

Thanks Peter. It should be an entertaining game. We have some hotheads so they'll have to check their egos as the doors. We play at Strathcona which I heard is not a bad field. Not sure if you guys play at NW, but if you do watch for the potholes. Make sure you get the downwards part of the field first. The longer you keep them in the game, the better their keeper plays.
Sorry Peter. I looked at the schedule and was jumping ahead a bit. I was talking about Sapp's home field. It's like Lambeau Field. Anything can happen there. Yes, you guys are at the same place we train, Burnaby Lake. It's always entertaining playing on the turf. Watch your lower backs.
