Mamio 3 - Farmsum 2 6-3 (2-0)

Finally we secured another victory, only our second this year. It was also only the third game we had more than eleven players, and that certainly paid off.

We started like this:

Goalie: Yasen
Defense: Kostas, Elmer, Peter, Bas.
Midfield: Vile, Johan, Philip, Thomas.
Forward: Andrey, Giuseppe.

Thomas made his debut. Vile was back after being absent for a while and for Andrey it will be his last game in a long time.

In the first half we played way better than Farmsum. They had some little chances, but our defense was usually very tight. Especially Kostas did a terrific job, even throwing in some offensive moments.

Philip was our most dangerous player, trying some shots on goal before he hit the opening goal. Just a couple of minutes later, we scored again. Or to be honest: a Farmsum defender deflected a cross pass into his own goal. We had some more opportunities but at the break it was still 2-0.

Unfortunately, after only about 30 minutes, Vile had to go out already. He already knew before the game he was sick, and he couldn't manage. Dian was the second player today to make his debut, he moved to a forward position while Andrey took over Vile's right wing midfield position..

The second half started off like the first one ended: with a stronger Mamio. But like always, we have trouble finishing a game properly in the last third of the game. Today, it was a little different. We did concede three goals, of which at least one was unnecessary. But the difference was, we kept scoring ourselves. Giuseppe scored once, but Philip was absolutely amazing. Two strikes from about 20 metres distance went into the top corner of the goal, leaving the Farmsum goalkeeper struggling. We finally won, 6-3 is a very good result and we finally moved away from the bottom spot in the league!

Go Mamio!

Mamio 3 - Usquert 1 1-3 (1-0)

If matches would only last sixty minutes, we would be a lot higher up in this league. Today, we gave it away again during the last thirty minutes.

Lineup:
Goalie: Yasen
Defense: Kostas, Elmer, Johan, Mauricio.
Midfield: Ivan, Stefano, Andrey, Giuseppe.
Forward: Juan, Philip.

In the first half we were constantly in their penalty area, but forgot to score. The only goal we created was an own goal.

In the first part of the second half the game should have been decided in our favor. We were attacking most of the time, but we still have some trouble scoring.

The final part was Usquert's, they finished the game more professionally than we did. We forgot to do our duties and probably got tired as well. Two players got a bit injured and we didn't have replacements for them. Usquert was able to score three times.

Blauw Geel 3 - Mamio 3 5-0 (1-0) Match report

Sunday mornin' started in the wrong way. 14 Players on the list but only 9 people were on field when the match began (luckily Bas joined us 4 minutes later).

This was the line-up with brave Peter as goalkeeper.

Defense:

Kostas, Bas, Elmer, Vile

Midfield:

Giuseppe, Giulio, Stefano, Dany

Forward:

Lonely Philip


Therefore as usual Mamio was playing again with a lack of players.

In the first part of the first 45 minutes, Blauw Geel managed to control spaces an ball and we managed to protect our goal, then this balance changed. From a right-side action Blauw Geel managed to came too close to our score an put the ball in the net. 1-0.

After that we became more aggressive and energized and, thanks to a drastic drop of the opponent's performances, we managed to come close to score the draw.

In the break we realized that Blauw Geel's players were clearly tired and we had the feeling we can win the match.

So we try to put Giulio as forward and Philip as midfield in the hope that the good german guy could improve the game in the our line-up's center.

But things became worst. Blauw Geel despite thier unfit conditions, managed to control without problems the ball with simple and easy passes waiting for our mistakes and trying to save energy. This tactic worked fine. Hurried to score for draw we made thousend mistakes and with the team's balance moved to the forward, we didn't manage to well defend our score.

4 more goal came fast and we lost the hope soon.

Although we were clearly fitter than our opponents (almost all the team smoked before and in the break) we didn't manage to win an affordable match.

Same problems from time immemorial:

1) Players: it's not possible that we have to always play with less player (I don't remember I ever played against a team with less players) we expect 14 players but only 9 showed up. Yes, is sunday, it's morning and it's cold, so if you plan to sleep sunday, maybe soccer is not your sport.


2.

Space: we don't use the space.

3.

We prefer to dribble opponents instead of an easy play (and of
course we lost the ball)

Today's hero: Kostas. Slept 3 hours after partying and drinking and played well.

Mamio 3 - Forward 6 - Cancelled

Forward 6 failed to show up, or notify us about their absence. So we had no game. A shame, since we had even more players available than during our previous game. Well, anyway, Forward will get a fine, 3 points less and another beating the next time we meet them.
