in for weekend 1

[GDSD573]

We are weekend 2 but not sure what time we will get there on the Thursday, if on time I'm sure we'd be up for it. My past experience of playing Americans at "soccer" was an 8-0 hammering of them so I hope they've improved since then!

If thats the case, can I claim my families Norwegian heritage and play on the not so American team...I don't want to lose.

[geonotgio]

it's not going to be usa vs. rest of world this year. You guys can get that idea out your head.

[ahhhrickeeee]

[geonotgio]

To my dismay, I don't have as much optimism about this game as i did last year.

[geonotgio]

instead of trash cans like the previous years. We decided to buy some pretty legit goal nets from Costco.

Hey I'm in also for weekend 2, how many are we?

[geonotgio]

I'm going to say that Lot 7 is going to be the best choice again to host the game.

VAN PERSIE'S HEADER!!! AT 2:07!

Also, to makes things more legit. We should all bring cleats. I know last year we said that it wasn't a good idea to bring them. Playing on moist grass with regular shoes was not the business. People sliding everywhere and what not.

Anyone up for organising the WK2 game?

I'm flying in from Ireland so I won;t be able to bring a ball or any gear.

So what time and where on Thursday wknd 1? Not sure when I'll be arriving but there's no reason it can't be somewhat early.

Ideally i would like to play around 6-7pm. Lot 7 if it ends up being one of the last lots to fill up.

What's the skill level here and how serious is this? shin guards and cleats?

Sounds perfect. I've been playing a fair amount of indoor this winter, it'll be nice to play on the grass for a change before heading back to the giant mud pit that is April in Maine.

no shin guards, just cleats. I say cleats because last year indoor shoes were not suitable for the wet grass. I couldn't get a good grip and i couldn't cut. Same went for everybody. I remember one play in particular where I ran down the touch line to fake somebody into thinking i was going towards my defense, went for the fake and slipped and fell completely on flat on my back and banged my head really fucking hard.
anyways...

That'd be fucking awesome if we really got intense and serious but that's not gonna happen. I don't want anybody getting hurt at the festival and it's just not the place to go balls out on a soccer game. But i really think people should bring their cleats. Especially for that perfect grass.
