Quote of the Week....

"The games we have found toughest to win have been against opponents who have set their stall out to work hard, run forever, close us down and really try and keep things tight in the middle of the pitch,"

Spain's Iker Casillas after Saturday's defeat by England




So now you know what to do!

So how are we doing?

Coach Pasta looked across the field on Saturday and saw 12 very tired and
satisfied faces at the end of a deserved result. We always like to see 3 points added to our standings tally, but just remember one important thing... winning a league title is not nearly as important as a successful Cup campaign... there is still a lot of running and scoring and defending left in this season...just make yourselves(!) proud by always
giving your maximum effort!


Thank you to the coaches for their ongoing hard work!

Season set to start...

“It’s about making sure you’re on top of your opponent and the 50-50 battles. If we dominate their players we have a good chance of getting a good result.”

Quote of the week...on player development

"What is really missing compared to the leading soccer nations around the world, the first 10 to 12 nations around the world, is the amount of time kids play the game. If you have a kid that plays in Mexico 20 hours a week, and maybe 4 hours of organized soccer but 16 hours of unorganized soccer just banging the ball around in the neighborhood, but if he gets up to 20 hours it doesn’t matter how he plays it, with his dad or with his buddies in the street, this will show later on with his technical abilities, with his passing, with his instinct on the field and all those things, and I think that’s certainly an area where a lot of work is ahead of us.”

US national Coach: Juergen Klinsmann

Quote of the week...

In a press conference a couple of days before the game Ronaldo said, "I was sent by the Football God". Messi was then asked the next day in a press conference of what he thought of Ronaldo's comments. Messi said, "I don't remember sending him!!!"
