Brazil's 29th Round
More spectacular goals and saves last night in Brazil for the 29th round.
Check our Osvaldo's goal, 6 mins into the video, scissors, push forward, cuts, lifts the head to look where the gk is, and shoots in the far corner.
Check also the many saves by Rogerio Ceni in the 2nd half. See also the inverted wall at 10:20. Ball was on the left side, yet wall on the right side. Why? because the free kick taker Juninho shoots with his right foot and the inverted wall messes his mind up.
OCDSB Walter Baker 3K Run
Gustavo's great run today at the OCDSB meet: he finished 22nd, for a great pace of 4:15min/Km.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day Harvest Season
How It Began
The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving are more closely connected to the traditions of Europe than of the United States. Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October. The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada when Martin Frobisher, an explorer from England, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival to the New World. That means the first Thanksgiving in Canada was celebrated 43 years before the pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts!
Spectacular Brazilian 28th Round, Spectacular Ronaldinho, Lucas, Luis Fabiano Give Ball Show
Some spectacular goals and plays today in Brazil.
1. Sao Paulo's match:
2:59 - A feint, without the ball (Lucas),then hard shot with left foot (he is a right winger)
4:20 goal, Luis Fabiano
6:25 Wow!
9:00 The gk takes the free kick, and rebound!
10:10 Beautiful pass, beautiful shot and goal.
2. Atletico's match:
Ronaldinho scores 3, gives assists, gets emotional, SPECTACULAR!
1. Should the wall jump or stay? You have the answer at 5 mins into the video.
2. Ronaldinho is a very experienced player? He saw the wall advancing way too close to the ball, and yet did not complain. Why?
Check out Ronaldinho's assist on the 5th goal (by the kid Bernard), 8:30 in the video. How many goals and assists did he have in this match?

October 6 - Thanksgivings Edition
It is a long weekend; we were expecting 14 players to show up today, 22 came! It turned out to be another beautiful day. Thank you!
Beautiful fall colors:
The Nepean H.S. Track and Field coach!
The penalty shootout, after a 5-5 regulation time tie:
Perfect gk body position, body behind the ball, no way for the ball to go through.
September 29 2012
A very good practice today welcoming two new players.
The fun game was great too, with 18 players in the end, playing full field.
Chest control:
Can you see what Shar does differently? Look at the shape of his chest. He is clearly showing and using soft body tissue to control and cushion the ball..
1 on 1 breakaway against the gk: there are three types of alternatives:
1. keeper stays back in his net
2. keeper goes in the middle to no man's land
3. keeper charges (like a mad man?)
What do you do for each situation? In a match you have 1 second to decide.
