Game 3 Preview & Postmortem

Preview:
We're playing Brazucas this evening at 10pm. I'm not sure of their make-up, but it sounds Brazilian and they are not team Aioh. They've only played one game and lost 3 - 4. Out for tonight is Ashish, Sachin, and Gareth thus far which leaves us with 13 at most. Good luck guys and see you tonight. Please post any comments below.

Postmortem:
Final Score: Optimizers 1 Brazucas 2

We started out with a lead when Bob got a header in off a corner. We played great defense and controlled the ball in the midfield but then in the first 10 minutes of the second half, they got a lucky goal on us via a corner kick. We stayed pretty even and attacked until with 9 minutes left, a questionable call by the refs led to an argument, at which point Brazucas used the advantage to drive down in a 3 on 2 to score. We tried to come back with some shots but we ran out of time. We have to learn to take bad calls in stride and not get caught out manned. Also, while we controlled the ball much better, we were still trying to force it past their D rather than pass it back when on trouble. The mids must get back in time for D as well. Lastly, we need to try to get more angled crosses in the middle of the field rather than try to bring it down the sides and cross. Just my opinion. Other than that, we're playing with much more chemistry and should be winning these games. Great job everyone. Comments?

P.S. Thanks to Kerry for helping us out last night.
