FC America - Final League Games

FC America Omni U14 win the League, we had a great weekend up in Jacksonville and played 2 great games. We had some of our best players sick or injured but it didnt stop the boys taking charge and winning our first game 1-0 and we tied the second game 1-1 which helped us to take first place in our league. As you can see in these pictures this is our second game this shot actually went into the net but the Ref didnt call it, it went straight out of the hole in the side of the goal, lady luck was on our side in this game .........! We took first place which means we now travel to Gainsville next weekend for the playoffs, there is going to be some tough competition up there but we can handle it.............!!!!!

Sam- Middle School Soccer

So the tables have turned, and now we are all watching Sam play Middle School Soccer, he has made the team and he is so happy, he played the whole game and did an amazing job playing left back........... Sam battled away with the bigger kids and scored a PEACH of a goal......!!!! We always had our suspicion of standing by the corner flag last season but this season we are standing in the middle of the field. It seemed to have worked we won 4-0. It turned into real English football weather and it started to rain, the rain came at the right time too cool down the kids and we pulled off a victory......!!!! We have to travel to Jacksonville again on Saturday for two games for Johns FC America team.

High School American Football

So, now we are playing American Football, John is number 4 and he is the kicker for his School football team. We played our first game on Thursday and didn't do too good we lost 40-0. The kids didnt seem too bothered and said overall they played a good game. Again, I know nothing about American Football so I have no clue if we are good or not. John seemed to enjoy himself and did a few good kicks up the field. We had a good time in the stands its like a big party and we had fun. We dont have any photographs of John looking at us, Keith was shouting out to him, "Hey Birchall" all the time really loud so he would look at us, but one of the dads said that the Coach had said to the players "if anyone turns around to look at their parents, becareful, cos you will be sitting with them.....LOL" So John ignored us all game.......

Disney Soccer Tournament

The Disney Soccer Tournament was this weekend. We had a few good games but we lost against some very good teams. We were on the fields for 7am and in the mildew on the ground we spelt out LFC. The next morning we got there someone had spelt out NFFC, hahahahaha. It is the great the banter we have on our team, we have West Ham fans, Nottingham Forest fans, Chelsea fans, its all good fun. The weather was way too hot and the kids were exhausted by it. John made some good saves and kept us in the games. Sadly we are out the tournament now so time for some r&r, being up at 6am everyday certainly takes it toll and John is so busy with school stuff now it wont do him any harm to rest up today. Holiday weekend this weekend so we are looking forward to a day off.....!!!!!

F.C. America.........

So here it is, Johns Football team, F C America Omni U15. We are an awesome team, finally we found it. Its hard to find a team where you fit in, John slotted right into place with this team, he ofcourse is goalkeeper and is doing a fantastic job. We are top position in our league having won all games we played and right now we are playing in the Disney Tournament for Soccer we are doing great we lost our first game 4-0 but we were playing kids in their early 20's......!!!!! The second game we won 1-0 which was more our age group. We have one game tomorrow which we have to win to stay in the tournament, I am pretty confident we will be ok. John is mega happy to be playing good football again......!!!!!!!
