¬ Congratulations Fall 2004 Champs

That is what was in the email that came from Scott last week after we beat the Screaming Eagles with only 10 players. I totally agree. Although we did not play our best, it was an important game. There are not many teams in the league that can win with only 10 players. I do not have any doubts that we were the best team in the tournament for several reasons. But the important things were that most of the players who began the team last season remained. Second, the new incorporations were excellent; even with a lot of luck, we could not have chosen any better players. The third thing about the team is that we came week after week. The team was always together -- there were no stars that refused to be substituted for and nobody felt like they had to win the game on their own. This Championship was won by each of the 20-25 players; we are all Champions since we all participated on the team. I believe that the toughness of this team is impressive, and that is something that we did not always have when the team was being formed last season. Everybody ran and stuck a leg out for the balls (even yesterday, in spite of being up by so many goals, Paulo Uribe was running 20 meters to get a ball; and this is just a single example). Finally, we entertained ourselves trying to play the best possible football. Scott in goal (and Javier for a game) -- an excellent tournament for them both. But the best thing about the team, I believe, was the defense. The great teams are always formed from the back, and without this spectacular defense we would not win many games. And I believe that in the upcoming season we will continue to improve. In conclusion the future of the team is excellent, next season we will have to defend the title and next Sunday the World Bank will be playing us as champions. I sincerely hope that all of us continue playing football over the next few months. This tenacious team has the pride and desire to play football and each one of the players on this team will never be lost.

Congratulations Champions!!!!!!!
