Youtube video for Strikers Cup final

playing against LA Galaxy Academy.

Youtube Video ...

Here is the link for a youtube video for the highlight of our first 2 games at Strikers Cup. We scored total 8 goals against PSA Canyon and Downey FC.  Watch for my goal at 3:34. I also missed a header a 5:04. Thanks Mr. Tourville for the video. :)

Finalist..

We lost to LA Galaxy Academy in the final 4-1. It's a good lesson experience for us. We worked very hard and held them to 2-1 at the 1st half.  However, eventually we were running out of gas at the 2nd half. They scored 2 more goals at the end of the half. We know that we need to work harder, especially on improving our stamina. I think we improved a lot expecially playing with all these Gold level teams. We are more used to intensity of the game. I am looking forward for the season to start at the week of September 10th.

Qualify to the final!

We beat Downey FC 4-0 yesterday and tied Strikers FC-SC today 1-1. Because of the point differences, we qualify to the final. We will most likely meet LA Galaxy Academy this afternoon. I don't think we will win but will try hard not to allow too many goals.. It's time to relax in McDonald's again!

Won the 1st game

We won our first game against PSA Canyon, a CSL silver elite team 4-0. It's very hot today, almost 100 degree around noon time. We will have our next game at 6pm, playing DowneyFC. Dad and I are staying inside McDonald's right now. They offer free wifi.. We Stay cool and drink a lot of .... :)

Another tournament this week - Strikers Cup

We will have our last tournament for this summer. We will play in Strikers Cup. It's going to be a tough tournament as we have a gold team and a silver elite team in our group. Only the 1st place team qualify for the final round. I am looking forward for more challenge!

School start....

First Champion this year!!!

As I mentioned in myu previous post, we have been put in the weaker bracket. This actually help us out and outscored our opponents 22-1 to won this tournament. Well, I should said we scored all of them as I was the one that scored the only own goal... :(

We won 2-0 against OC Premier and 10-1 against OJSC Tigers on the 1st day. On the 2nd day, we beat SC United 4-0 and qualify to the final. In the final, we were able to held our opponent, Palmdale Thunder scoreless and beat them 6-0. We are able to work on our passing game and corner tricks during this tournament. Hopefully this will help us in our next tournament, Striker Cup this weekend.

Toyota of Orange Classic

We will playing in the Toyota of Orange Classic this weekend. It seems like the organizer put us in the weaker group. Well, it doesn't really matter. Hopefully we can take advantage of this and win a medal..We will playing SC United, OJSC Tigers and OC Premier. The winner of each group will be qualify to final and play for championship.

United Cup result..

It had been a tough tournament for us last weekend, playing Pateadores (Gold), United FC (Silver Elite) and Albion SC (Premeir team fron Presidio). We tied our first game playing Pateadores with a result 1-1. At our 2nd game, we were 2-0 up but made couple silly mistakes to allow Albion to come back and tied us. We played our 3rd game on Sunday against United FC. We played a very good 1st half with 1-1. However, the ref made 2 bad calls and allowed them to score 2 early in the 2nd half. I think that really caught us and we lost our momentum after that. They scored 2 more at last 5 minutes of the game. It was very good experience for us to challenge all these top level teams. We need to play and train harder so that we can match up with them.. We will play in Toyota of Orange Classic tournament at Aug 20-21. Hopefully we will do better next time!

Getting my new cleats!

I finally got my Nike CTR360 Trequartista II yesterday. I am currently wearing Adidas F50 Adizero that my dad gave me last Christmas. Now I am outgrown it and start getting blisters on couple of my toes. My dad decided to shop around and finally get this for me for only $55, retail $90. It's size 12. I am going to wear it for practices and also the tournament this week. May be it will help me to score some goals. ;)
