2-2 tie vs South River. SR was clearly the better team. just didn't test our keepers enough. quality of Refs..ooooff. ugly. as ugly as in travel soccer. EDP refs are much, much better. heck even my sunday league (50s) refs are better the boy played well.. didn't get a lot of balls, missed a chip on ...

Down in Myrtle for vaca..house is bone dry as my buddy texted..lots of camera watching, both of our place and the doggo at camp. Town is a mess from what I'm told by folks there and local fb pages and twitters. Old hood was a lake. The missus was frantic on Wed night...fortunately all seems OK. Did ...

THANKS ALL! mrs is on her way to pick up the pup from his 3hr interview at the kennel (camp bow wow) - we checked it out this morning.. seemed like a good set up. recommended by a local friend. Vet's office was not so great at recommending.. they used to board but covid. all changed due to covid. if...

hunkered down at home since saturday evening. Rain, rain and more rain. everyone slept in on sunday. it was glorious. hung out with the boy and his massive lego collection, turned the arsenal game off and did make a roaster chicken in the slow cooker. yum. but the storm? we had brought all the plant...

i enjoy coaching. coached a u19 team in the spring (my son was supposed to play but he didn't) - enjoyable. no parent bs. was fortunate as a coach over the years not to deal with crap. w the kid playing club, we just go along and even though we have a crazy coach its a good team and set of parents. ...

After a 90+ minute discussion last night, the board voted against retaining the trainer in any capacity (and did confirm that he was no longer employed by the training outfit). now the hard part of communicating it to the coaches (and the parents.) it wasn't unanimous but all agreed to present a uni...

the tale continues... we use a training company... same one for past five years this past summer we reset our programs.. our rec program is now called signature travel and our travel program is now called premier travel.. different leagues (SSYL and MNJYSA) we also worked closely w the training comp...

Lambda? you mean Lambada? there is a variant that started in Peru and made its way to Colombia. all of my family there is vaxxed however, most who were at a recent family funeral ended up w covid. Several ended up in the hospital, all are recovered and everyone is home. and no, there is no u in Colo...

Had planned on seeing Arsenal vs Inter and Everton vs MIllonarios (my childhood team) in Olando this weekend.. first two dropped out.. no matter. 2000 mile round trip (stop in MD to pick up my dad) from NJ to Orland. Saw a pretty good game, had a blast. Colombians & Colombianas everywhere. Old m...

The point of old man strenfff is that you just have it and you don't have to go to the gym!

besides weekly pickup games (14-56, club players, HS players, college players, ex pros) play in a o50s league.. bengay, camp chairs, sunscreen, cursing in many languages and lots of ex-pros (no one you'd have heard off) and the occasional asshat who either wants to relive his glory days or uses the ...

and... THANKS!!

You never know.

nice.

I don't know that I've ever seen a play as crazy as the COL goalie absolutely losing his mind and coming off his line like that... And then ARG couldn't put that away. If they'd lost that game, that play would've gone down in the books as one of the worst chokes in history. we've seen it before.. a...

all scores, all referee decisions lead to this game, all set for Brasil to win the cup as a reward for hosting.

elflaco2

no, its true. a new house a new pup and a baby in October to go along with the sometimes surly 10th grader. my dream of selling everything, retiring to the islands to live on a sailboat will have to wait just a bit longer. and there goes my plan to leave the soccer club, why leave when i'll just be ...

vacation? we bought a house in February, moved in in March, have been renovating it since and as mrs. el flaco is expecting also saving up days for q4. who has time or money for a vacation? all kidding aside, likely taking last two weeks of the summer for an airbnb somewhere (likely Amelia) cause we...

i had four of those in my back in 07 - supposed to last a few months. never went back..that and likely the 25lbs i dropped helped with those herniated disks.
she did say i could likely look fwd to knee replacement in 20-25 yrs.

elflaco2

officially old. intermittent knee pain the last few months, affecting lifting and soccer/running. have a ragnar upcoming in october, time to really put in trail miles in.. knees were waking me up.. saw the doc today (well, the PA.. and i wish a had pic!) who after x-rays and handling of my legs said...

elflaco2

yeah... we tried it.. like it.. although i prefer the italian ice off the carts (shaved ice block w syrup)
pricey for what it is, but i know the rent on that street is quite high.
which spot in your town?

elflaco2

yep. Hailey's. Woodstack has a decent bar as well but that's mainly a restaurant, although pre covid it was a happening place on weekends. the member who walked out called me on saturday, spent half hour on the phone, she hung up crying as she just couldn't see herself walking away or working with u...

tks....that would work.. i ended up doing a bit of research and figured out how to use mail merge onto the assessment template.. the next issue is how do i save each page separately? i can do it one a time.. tedious and laborious.. or by team and assign someone else to break it apart..we know we can...

elflaco2

we have an xls with 250+ lines.. each line corresponds to a player.. columns contain various scores and comments.. we need to convert these into 250 individual files to send out pre-season assessments to returning kids in the fall (yes, soccer) i know there has to be a way to do this.. but my excel ...

Board Update! Three hour board meeting last night, coaches had their say for the first 90mins (scheduled 60). secondary players, club pass, tryouts, team make up, role of parent coach, trainers, min playing time. All topics that could hide mines.. but all good. then it got fun within 15 minutes of c...

Off to a great start for the tournament. About to leave the house, get a text that they closed the fields we are going to. They will update us and let us know if they find a new location. 2 hour drive, so we can’t wait to see if they find a field. Also not happy they gave a 6 hour break between gam...
