Basketball Brother
I went to one our players' houses today to take his photo for their id cards. One of the little brothers also wanted his photo taken. However, he says he wants to play basketball,. not soccer!
11K Run
An 11K run today, in the heat, with Gustavo, Justin (Almonte SC) and Francois.
This happened while we were running, can anyone guess what this is or how this is possible?

After the run in the heat:
Ottawa Fest 2012
Very well done by our team, picking up 2 victories, a tie and a loss, that once again could have gone either away. We finished with a +5 goal differential and suffered our 1st goal (it was about time!).
Star of the game: Most players worked hard and many were outstanding, but the star of the game (and MVP) goes to Francois for taking on the gk duty under difficult circumstances at the last minute as our gk had not arrived. He did it for the team, did an outstanding job, and then scored a beauty for the team on the 2nd match. Outstanding work by our defense too, in particular Adamo, John, Shar, K'paw. Thank you.
Many, many, thanks to all the volunteers. Other videos and photos will be posted on the tournament site.

Match May 16
We had our toughest match to date. Our goalkeeper kept us alive, but it could have gone either way.
After 3 matches, no goals against, amazing.
Star of the game: Daniel, but great playing by many others too.

Santos Makes It 3 Straight, and a Mooo, Plus Scissors Too.
Yesterday, Santos, Neymar's team, won its 3rd straight Sao Paulo State championship. Neymar scored his 26th of the season.
Check the goals. Was the 2nd Santos goal a penalty kick?
Some major defensive failures too.
And a cow feint and scissors too!
Sunday's Perfect Run
This was Francois' and Gustavo's great 8.5Km run today, with the coach. Both are superb runners. When their feet strike the ground they make very little noise, and both enjoy running hard.
The heart of an 11-year old:
