TimeOut

Falling down so quick into the match may have been the best thing for them. On the attack the rest of the game. I HATE penalty kicks. Play the 90 minutes, and then have your (2) 15 minute extra times. After that, I wish it were sudden death. Nonetheless, ...

I think I have a '94 that is a simple collared polo. Should be nice

Very fortunate to have seen some some great accomplishments...and of course some difficult defeats. I am excited at the prospects for this group in the coming years.
