GAME SUMMARY
On a foggy morning, reminiscent of the opening scene of ET- The Fading Stars begin to gather, knowing they will be short on bodies, but have plenty of players. in the typical FSFC/Blades matchup, things get off to a smooth start until the blades Samurai warrior starts hacking from behind- A quick yellow card pretty much ends his first half.
Then FSFC start doing an amazing thing- passing the ball and working it outside and then back in to the middle. The Blades are clearly puzzled by this strategy having never seen it employed by the Stars. Shots start to reign on the Blades keeper, but he does a good job of watching them go wide.
Couple of free kick opportunities go wasted, and the Blades play a nice kickball that Bergman chests down to the ground only to be called a handball. The blades take their kick and it is saved and the rebound gets knocked around to Martin at about the 25. Pblische rips the ball from him and the breakaway is on- 5 v 2. Pblische takes the ball all the way down to 12 passes to Bobby who flubs the trap and the keeper dives on his foot snatching the ball. Ashamed at the lost opportunity, halftime thankfully comes.
Halftime
FSFC 0 Blades 0
And we are off- Rusty gets a break and blasts a right footer that catches all post, rebound is easily cleared. Pblische tries to dribble the ball in only to have it stolen at the 6. Attacking dominance by the Stars backfires when the backline passes a ball to Bergman with Lori slowly chasing. Bergman pops the ball in the air, tries to head it, misses kicks through Lori's legs, ball ends up towards Ken who falls down, Bergman falls down and Lori walks in the worst goal in the history of soccer.
Blades 1 FSFC 0
Time to play kids- The Blades try to trap at midfield, Romo plays a ball thru that Kblische runs on to- 3 vs 1 break that Kblische takes down the right side and buries his shot to the far post. Blades think everyone is offsides, but clearly the play started on the Stars half.
FSFC 1 Blades 1
The FSFC are relieve to have covered up the gift. The attack continues. FSFC win a corner on the right side that Woodard sends in. The ball majestically floats over the crossbar staying in bounds. Berardo runs down the kick on the left half. Berardo holds the ball and waits for the perfect moment when he crosses to the back post. #19 traps the ball with his right thigh and volleys with his left burying the ball in the upper 90- It was a goal so beautiful that even the Nazi Major stood up and cheered.
FSFC 2 Blades 1
Damn there were still 15 minutes left and everyone was tired. Ball gets bounced around a bunch and worked into the Blades half of the field. Pblische passes the ball to Romo- let me repeat that, Pblische passes the ball to Romo at the top of the 18, Romo heads the ball into the box to #19 who traps and buries his lefty shot into the right side netting.
FSFC 3 Blades 1

Churchill Post of the Game: Woodard dented the post at the start of the 2nd half
Goal of the Game: #19 from Berardo- Rusty with the corner that magically floats over the entire goal staying in bounds. Berardo chases down the ball brings it back and hits a beautiful backside cross which #19 traps on his thigh and volleys left footed upper 90-
Defensive MVP: Kneals- pretty much worked over Martin and controlled the middle
Goat of the Game: Normally a team blowing a 4 v 1 breakaway would win, but Bergman with the breakaway goal against his own keeper takes the cake.
