That scares me...  Jason shredded my Ukraine squad in the second half much the same way!  It looks like I'll be playing "keep away" as much as possible against Seth!

Are you available anytime Saturday, Seth?

I'm just pretending the first half never took place since the score was 1-1 in the second half .

Seth's really good at dribbling through traffic (something I cannot do) and puts alot of pressure on the opposing offensive players. He forced me into making a bunch of mistakes.

I've played all of you now and the thing I can say for sure is we all have our own style.  Play to your strengths and find a way to keep your opponent on his backfoot.

Wowie...  I was no match for Seth...  I couldn't get the ball away from him, or keep him from getting it from me!  And, in the rare moments I actually had space, I'd panic and give it right up.  I'll save the details for Seth's match report, but it wasn't pretty...  Smile

Funny... my impression of the game as were playing it, was that Kevin was a very good passer and did a good job of pressuring me in the early going... I was pretty nervous.  Ukraine did have a tough time getting good looks at the goal, as evidenced by the disparate 'shots taken' tallies.  Fernando Torres continued his magical ways, utilizing an effective dribble fake in the box and sending home a low, hard shot to the side the keeper was actually covering to get his first goal at 28'. 55' saw Torres strike again, sending home a nice header off the corner kick.

Things went quiet for the next thirty minutes, and Ukraine wasn't out of it until a JAW-DROPPING effort by the Ukrainian keeper in which he lunged again and again to block THREE (!) close range shots before finally allowing a Reyes header to slip past him (84').  Torres was given the rest of the day off, and Reyes nabbed one more for safety after establishing position in the box, turning, and shooting low (87').

Paella and sangria for everyone!

Seth, your ability to control the dribble and tackle effectively are incredible.  I need to work on those moves! 
 
I just wanted to get out of there without being embarrassed.  Unfortunately, those back-to-back goals around the 80th minute did me in.  That series with my goalie was impressive, though!  I just couldn't clear...
 
I learned a lot, though, and had fun!  Smile

I love sangria!

Nice mop up of Group H, Seth.
