Friday (25th of april 2008) my team and me faced our second game in the Hospital Italiano Footboll League. We had expected an easy win, because our oppenent was at the very bottom of the table. To cut a long story short: Now it is us holding the bottom position.
We were beaten with the same result as one week before – 2:5. Even the nice shirts, which Cristian, our new goalkeeper had organized, couldn´t motivate us enough. This time it was only our own fault, because the other team was really crap. We had the better players, we were just not well organized, it was to easy for our opponent to break through our defense. And in the offense we missed to many chances against a goalkeeper, who did the job probably for the first time in his entire life.
After the game, nobody could tell why we had performed so badly. May be some of us are too nervous?
“Internacional” played with Cristian, Raj, Matt, Max, Patrice, Gerrardo and Jan.
Our two goals were scored by Gerrardo and Jan.
This time I really wanted to take a picture of the team. I brought my camera and left the battery at home…

What a dissapointment! It’s one thing losing a relegation scrap, it’s another thing getting tonked 5 – 2! Never mind. Conceded an early goal second week in a row which got us off on the wrong foot again. I think we weren’t aggressive enough, didn’t take enough shots and were indecisive in defense. They simply wanted to win more.
What you think?????

some changes in the tactics, some more concentration, some prayers, may be some drugs for the nervous ones among us, but first of all we need a masseuse.
indecisive in defense we were, I agree, Max. That shouldn´t happen again.

You may have lost the soccer game, but you are an interesting writer and a decent poker player. I will enjoy following your stories, Jan. Thanks for sending the blog address!

da hab ich doch gleich die idee:
jan kauf mich frei. ihr könnt doch einen athletischen, dynamischen und zweikampfstraken defensivallrounder gebrauchen!
bin billig zu haben.
