  Herndon Community Center

3pm

Herndon Attack

 Won 3-2
A hot day with just enough rain to make it interesting.  The best condition the Herndon community center has seen in quite some time.  We played amazingly well with the ãAttackä playing lots of defense.  I think Shane got our first.  The second was a Thabit PK.  Our third came right after they tied it up, with Glenn finishing a loose ball in front of the goal.  Glenn also got a yellow for tangling with their guest player who looked like Jamie.

Haley Smith

Virginia United

Won 3-0
Virginia United wasnât.  We scored quickly into the game and they fell apart.  Jason had the first, and Thabit the next two (with an assist on one of them from Shane).  Greg didnât touch the ball much, but did have a nice save in the second half.  For some unknown reason, we didnât score in the second half.  The other team took out a lot of their frustration on Pete.

äNicest Field in a whileä despite Hurricane Isabel coming through a few days before.  We were in control most of the first half with lots of chances.  After limping off the field, Thabit came back and scored.  Steve had another to give us a 2-0 lead in the first half.  They got some new blood in the second half, and before long it was 2-2.  Amir gave us the winner.

Won 2-0
Hutchinson was in pretty bad shape, but that worked to our advantage against a younger and more skilled team. For our first goal, Jon took the ball to the corner and tied up the defense.  Pete snuck in and stole the ball and crossed it to Thabit for the goal.  In the second half, Shane crossed it to Damien for our insurance.  Amir was very solid in goal.

Braddock Road

Won 4-3
We were short players, again, but managed to win. Guest commentary from Greg:  With only seven players available and Shane there to watch and supply the beer because of a leg injury, drastic measures were needed.  Shane decided to play keeper and Greg played defense.  Playing three men down the first half, Thabit scored two goals as he converted one on one breakaways Vs their keeper. We had a half time lead and picked up a new player, a friend of David and Don the "67 year old" from the other team.  We were 'only' down one man the second half.  Dave took a corner kick and Steve headed in the third goal.  With the score tied 3-3, David had a one on one and made it count scoring the winning goal.  Shane did a great job in goal booting the ball on several occasions as well as impressive punting.  It was a good win considering playing short people.

One of the worst performances I can remember.  Sure the field was small and the sun was in our eyes a couple of times, but still.  They scored 3 in the first half, and then a quick one in the second.  Steve got one soon after and I thought that was the start of a major rally.

We wiped off the stink from last week and played very solid.  It was a 0-0 tie at half.  They brought in a young ringer who scored.  Thabit got mauled in the box, but the ref called it outside.  Glenn took a high kick through the fingertips of their short goalie.  Their ringer got a another goal and then Damien tied it up for us.

Eleven Oaks

Chantilly Casuals

Won 2-0
Once we got the cars and the kids off the field, we had a fine game.  Chantilly was short, so we gave them a few players including Tony who played keeper for them the whole game.Ê We had the ball in their half most of the time, but we couldnât get anything past Tony (most of them went way past Tony into the woods).Ê Finally, Jason drove one in.Ê Steve crossed one to Tom (guest player) who finished it.

Herndon Attack

Tie 2-2
Instant Winter once the sun got low with the field in wet, but pretty good condition.  They scored early although we had most of the possessions.  Steve had a great cross and Damien used his entire body to finish. Jeff snuck in behind Pete and headed a perfect ball from Alvin to give the Attack the lead..  A few minutes later Glenn put one in high above the keeper.  A great effort and most importantly, plenty of beer afterward.

ACSC

Won 5-1
They were short, so we gave them at least 4 players.  Once they got their whole team, they started to fall apart.  Amir got the first through the keepers legs. (Dave's son was their keeper for the first 10 minutes and wasn't scored upon)  Steve had a couple, Jason one (after 3 or 4 to get his bearing.  I won't even mention Thabit (oops). Steve had 2/3 of a hat trick.  Even Serge scored for us (this time).  Late in the game Adam and Joel demonstrated that they can be just as effective as our forwards.

Guest commentary by Greg. "From the left wing, Shane slants towards the goal and hits a shot off the keepers left hand and into the net for the 1-0 score at half time.  From the right side, Glenn puts a perfect corner kick ball over to "visiting" Hector's feet, who is just to the left of the goal center and kicks the 2nd goal in cleanly.  From a throw in from the right side, John's toss ends up crossing over to Peter who is running to his right and puts a nice ball to the left of the keeper, 3-0.  And now for the 'classiest' goal of the game.  "Visiting" Jason puts a long pass to Thabit, who runs it deep into the left corner.  He turns and crosses a ball to Steve.  Steve lifts a leg up to stop and control the ball.  The ball stays airborne in front of Steve who then kicks the ball out of the air for the 4th goal.  Steve will do this again for those of you who missed the game next week.  4-0 win.  PS: The team finally wins a game without Joel."  Pete's note: Hector is shown in the team picture between Glenn and me.  Since he's been gone 3 years, it's time for a new team picture. This marks the first game where we've had a team management hat trick.

It started off pretty even, because we gave them a bunch of guys.  When they got most of their team together, they started falling apart.  Shane had two, Rich D. had one (Shane assist), Damien had 2, Glenn and Steve each had one.

Bob pushed one past the defenders and Pete slid low taking down the goalie and the ball slowly ended up in the net.  It got a little physical, but we kept it together.

The ball and the defender ended up in the net.

We all should have went on the ski trip.  This was a Division 1 NVSL team that was slumming for the Winter.   I think Dave Dodd summed it up pretty well; they were more skilled, younger, and had more endurance.  They gave us 4 good players because of our pathetic turn out.  The field was probably the worst that we've ever played on, and that helped us.  Steve had our only goal.

It was the first "coldish" day of the season (about 50 degrees) and a strong wind.  The ref started the game right on time, even though we only had 7 players, and Sterling had 9.  We started against the wind.  We had a few stragglers, and so did they, and after awhile we scored first -- although they loudly protested that we were offside. 1-0.  Then we scored again, and they again complained about offside, but not as loudly.  2-0.  And yet again we scored against the wind, and this time they did not complain.  3-0.  We were a bit surprised, because they were a very good team, and we still are a bit weak on offense.  However, "old" Marco was back.  Also, Digger from the under-30 team (he was on the team before it split in two) seems to have joined our team. Before the half, they had a guy who was offside (I saw him very clearly), and he scored -- I guess the ref was trying to even things up.  3-1.
Jamie played goalie the first half, but Greg showed up at halftime.  Our defense was Adam, me, and Rich -- and Shane and Dale shared the fourth spot, because no other defenders showed up.  By the second half, we had 13 players and they had 11-12.   After awhile Adam was called for a handball in the penalty area (it might have inadvertently hit his bicep and ribcage at the same time), and they converted the penalty kick.   3-2.
They seemed to tire a bit, and we had the wind at our backs.  So soon we scored again.  4-2.  And again. 5-2.  And that's how the game ended.  We actually played quite well under the circumstances.

Springfield '74 (Blue)

Tie 3-3
Guest report from Joel: This week we played the team from Springfield with the blue shirts.  We usually do well against them, but this time they used a number of Hispanic players who were just standing around, and even a player from our under-30's team (our home games are now at 5:00, because the other team plays their home games at 3:00). The beginning of the game began just as a thunderstorm moved overhead, bringing some rain.   It lasted about 15 minutes, and we kept playing.  After about 5 minutes, they scored on a corner kick. 1-0.  Before the half, we scored on some nice pass work, to end the half at 1-1.  Our forwards this time were Shane, Tony, Steve, and a guy named Alan, who might have played with Rene's team in the past.  We had no subs, or maybe one.
In the second half, they scored again off a corner kick.   1-2.  Then they scored again off a corner kick (!), 1-3.  On this one, one of their players was completely unmarked.  He headed the ball toward the goal.   Greg got his fingertips on it, but it hit the back of my legs to go in.  Then we scored with some nice passing again.  2-3.  With about 10 minutes left, Paul took a free kick from the right side, just a bit past the midfield line on their side of the field.  It went straight into the upper left-hand corner.  3-3. After they had a shot hit the post, and we had one hit the post, the game ended. 3-3.   We REALLY need to work on our corner-kick defense!!!
