Saturday Futbol

I hope it's not at 11am, otherwise I'll have to root against them. jajajaja.

OK: here is the word from Giovannii:

Saturday at Cruz Azul field:

11:00 a.m. the minis will be playing.
12:30 p.m. the ponies will be playing.
2:00 p.m. the juvenils will be playing.

As I understnad it ALL games will be at Cruz Azul field.
These will be the FINAL games of the season and trophies will be handed out to the kids.

The parents of these boy are working on Saturdays, and a turnout by us to show our support would be greatly appreciated.

I will not be able to go to the first game, but I will be there at the second and third games.

I will be selling beer at 25 pesos. The proceeds from the sales will go to coach Giovanni to help with the cost of the eye operation which he now requires. If you want to pay more, or just make a contribution to help out, I am, as always, willing to take the money.

Then it's time for some mini trash talk.

Hate to root against the InsideLakeside group, but they are GOIN' DOWN!!! (Sorry, the other is my friend's team....he's the coach. DOWN!!!)

Well you better be there with a 100P bill in hand to cover the bet......jajaja. Gonna be a great game. Hope to see as many members as possible there to cheer on the forum favorites.

Damn, my friend told me the other team....the InsideLakeside-sponsored team has already beat them twice this season. But he's the coach and he's pretty crafty. The minis were working out their super-secret new strategy today on the field. Hopefully there were no press cameras at practice today.

Be WORRIED! Bet accepted!

Follow, Follow, we will follow Union.
OK so you have to be Irish or Scottish to understand that.

But you can still yell, shout and scream for whatever team you wish (as long as it's ours)

Bump

ok. there are conflicting posts as to where the juvie's are playing . which is correct and if its cruz asul-where is that?

Cruz Azul is the same one as the last game you attended. It is at 2:00pm I believe.

If it's not in one, then it's in the other.

One is north of the bull ring, and the other south.

I spoke with Gio and Bebe today and they said that all games will be at Cruz Azul (the usual field by the carretera)). The entire football school will be there and there will be food after the game. Medals and trophies will be awarded after the game.
ps Gio's eye is slightly improved, but still can't see much through it.

Well unfortunately our team lost in shoot-out overtime today. Their first loss of the season however they played an awesome game which was very exciting for both sides. Looks like I owe Rosa $100P........

So where does Rosa want you to donate it......Cruz Roja? Team Uniforms or shoes?

Nope. I was there for the 11 am game, rooting for Chelsea, my friend's team. Your guys associated team one that game 2-1. It was awesome and really fun.

I owe you $100.

nope. bob owes you. we only have one team and that's the juvies in them fine orange and black uniforms.

Hmmmm. Well then I guess the bet never really existed. My bet was all about the game between the "minis", since that's my friend's team. Your guys coach was there and seemed to be involved with them.

Looks like we need a professional bookie, next time. Regardless, I'll throw the $100 into whatever the team needs most....or CR....or whatever Bob decides.

Since this was a soccer bet let's put it towards the team. I think there may be a game against Guadalajara next Saturday so you can bring it there and join the fun.

Sounds good.

A BIG thank you to everyone who came out today and helped drink some beer.

Oh, and thanks (from Giovanni and myself) for the contributions.

The game against the Guad team is planned for next Saturday, but this is Mexico, so I probably will not know the details until Thursday.

Stay tuned

We will definitely stay tuned.

We should also find out what we need to do during the off season to get the team ready for next season.

Working on it

The team we played against today also play on Sundays in quite a tough league that covers Joco to Guadalajara. We played them twice this year and beat them, both times on penalties.
The age limit for this league is 12 - 15yrs and we lost a few of our big players. I felt bad for the kids as this was their big day and it was hard rustling up a smile for the photographs.
I will post the fotos on the Union Ajijic FB page.

I have a very nice Wilson futbol that was kicked over my wall by the invading Tapatios. I never return them when the balls arrive in my yard.
Want it?

Tell me where to come to get it and when.

Gracias

NEW GAME THIS SATURDAY (June 15th)
Giovanni told me there will ba game this Saturday at 11am at Cruz Azul against a team from Chapala.  The kids have bounced back after their disapoointment on Saturday.  They looked hungry at practice.

I will not be able to attend the start of the game on Saturday. I am hoping to be there for the second half.

Someone else will have to be in charge of the beers.
