Champs again!

We took a team that had never played in the 6vs6 tournament and we lost the first game 6-4 against Washuz but you could tell that this group of players where not easly phased.

The second game was against the OCWSL Open division champs - The Has Beens who looked like the USWNT.  To almost everyone's suprised we tied them 4-4.

Third game was against Focus who 3 tournaments ago beat a Very good Fobia team.  They are fisical and that easily beaten the Washu.  We tied them too 5-5.  Coming from behind after giving up 2 early and easy goals.  No problem - this team would not be phased.

We ended up finishing 3rd and played Focus again in the first round.  We thrashed them 6-1.  But only after as scoreless and nerve recking first 5 minutes were both teams missed a couple of shots.

This set us up against The Has Beens who also easly finished off their opponent.  It was obvious they didn't give us enough credit - bunch of little 18 year olds.  Ooops, we had them 0-2 before they realized they had their hands full.  You could feel them cranking up the intensity.  So much so that there was a small shoving match between some players and they were yellow carded.  Each team had to play short for 5 minutes.  They took advantage of this and tie us.  We took the lead again only to have them catch us - twice.  The game ended tied 4-4 and it went to PKs.

Here is where the girls really showed courage.  Our only miss was due to a great save by their keeper but on the 9th penatly kick Corrin made a great save and we took home the blue cooler bags!!

Fobia played in the 2009 Summer Sizzler 6vs6 Tournament.  We had a great time!  We won 5 out of 6 games coming in second.  The first game was tough (as aways) then we breezed through to the finals.  Luck wasn't with us as we missed several close shots - 1/2 foot here ... another there.  Focus did want they had to do and we congratulate them.
