This guy is pretty good. But he needs a haircut.

Spring Soccer

We're probably going to start our Spring season around March 12 or so. I'm thinking we should go with uniforms like these worn by Muslim women soccer players for the first couple of weeks.

Iran Banned From Asian Games

Or at least that is what this article says.

Oops! Never mind!

FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup

I don't know how I missed this...Brazil beat Uraguay in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in November. I don't know anything about beach soccer, but it appears that: 1) it is played on the beach, and 2) players are barefoot.

That's Uraguay's Coco in red.

Iraqi National Team

The Iraqi National Team made it to the finals of the Asian Games, but lost to Qatar, 0-1. There are 6 guys on the team whose first or last name is Mohamed (or Mohammed, or Mohammad, or Mohemed) and 5 guys named Ali. There's even a guy named Ali Mohamed. Think about that when you get confused because your team has a couple of Hannahs or Dakotas.

SEOUL, South Korea -- A South Korean soccer fan protests against what he considers to be the referee's unfair judgment after South Korea's national soccer team lost to Switzerland in their World Cup Group G match as they watched the match on a screen in Seoul. Switzerland defeated South Korea 2-0. (06/27/06 AP photo)

"Soccer Referees Not Always Fair"

Sikeston Tournament

I have been in regular communication with Philip Black, Director of the upcoming Sikeston Tournament. At present, he has the 3rd grade boys, the 4th grade boys, and the 5/6 girls slotted in the A bracket. He may slot the 1/2 girls in A, but he has to see how many teams he has first. Everyone else will be in the B brackets.

Carbondale Results

As many of you know, we were put into the A division at all levels in the Carbondale Tournament and, to tell you the truth, we did better than I expected. We had a CHAMPION in the 5th and 6th Girls Division. The 3rd grade boys played for the Championship, but lost a tough one to Farmington 2-3. The 1st and 2nd grade girls finished second, and the 4th grade boys were in the playoff for 3rd place (I still don't know how they did).
