Friendly Games this past week

Well, we had some great games this past weekend. First we played Mustang U15 at their home field in Danville. The day was beautiful and we were in for a great game. The game started out with a very strong Mustang team coming in with very well coordinated attacks. Mustang started by scoring a great goal by Jessie, Mustangs best player (my personal opinion). Then the Sporting boys picked up their pace and tied the game 1-1. Well to make it short the game kept going on with Sporting scoring and Mustang answering with a goal of their own. As the second half came, with Jessie injured and the Sporting team playing their A game, the day finished with a final score of 7-3. This was a sweet victory for the team for the upcoming State Cup. As you might remember, Mustang eliminated us from the State Cup last year in the semis by penalties. We saw Mustang again in their tournament in August in which we eliminated them and then again just this past saturday. Its always great to play tough teams like Mustang. The game was clean and just some good O'l Soccer. We also played SF Bay Area Scores this past Sunday and won by a score of 7-1.

State Cup

Sporting 93 will be playing SF Bay Area Scores this coming sunday in Santa Clara in preparation for the State Cup tournament the following weekend. The team is feeling pretty confident about doing well in the first round of the State Cup. We understand though that despite the fact that the team is feeling strong about their game, it cannot under estimate any of its rivals.

First we will play San Juan lightning Blue. At this time we are not really sure how strong the San Juan team will be. They were semifinalist at the Presidents Day cup tournament in Arizona, which is a pretty competitive tournament. They beat DeAnza Force blue at that tournament 1-0. DeAnza is currently one of our 2 biggest rivals in N. California behind Odyssey. The only thing though is that after beating DeAnza in the semis, they lost in the championship match with a pretty bad score of 5-0. The team also just won the Diablo FC cup. There were no competitive teams besides Mavericks Fusion at that tournament though. It seems that this team is looking to be the upset in this state cup by eliminating us. They will not succeed though.

DeAnza Force Black is also in our bracket. We are not underestimating this team but not really worried either.
Solano Rapids is an unknown team. We are always careful with unknown teams because last year in the first round of State Cup, we underestimated the Stockton Cougars team and they almost eliminated in the first round.

Well, as you know, it is always everyone's dream to win the State Cup and become State Champion. Unfortunately only one team can obtain the title. The way has been somewhat cleared for the top teams by the disintegration of the tough Tecos team (current State Champion) who will now only be playing with their B Squad. Tecos used to be our biggest rival so it sucks that they longer will be around.

Dallas

Sporting will have a tough bracket at the Dallas Cup tournament next week. In the bracket are: West Midlands Futbol Academy from England, Jaguares from Mexico, and the Solar team from Dallas. Coach John Azevedo and the rest of the Sporting 93 team are very optimistic about their prospects to place in a high position at this years tournaments. If Sporting passes the first round in which only the top team in each group passes; then they could potentially face the formidable Aztecs Premier team in the Quarter Final match. Sporting 91, 92, and 93 are very eager and excited for the start of the tournament.

Please leave a comment with your team name if you want it to be added to the poll!!
