Hola Amigos and Amigas,
We are preparing for the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Ox stands for a double Spring on the Lunar Calendar. What it means for the SPL is that a lot of players will either get married or get a lot of children which is good for our expansion plans, maybe we can organize and SPL mini league, or an SPL mini team !
Last Sunday it was great to see the teams back on the field and the games were good entertainment !
Bulls – Japan 1-2 The first half the Bulls took the lead 1-0 after a quick counter, FC Japan didn’t play in their usual All Black shirts because of the away rule and it seemed as if they were playing another sport. Nothing worked for them and the desperate/angry coach decided 10 minutes before the end of the first half to take drastic action which will give him a place in the guiness world-record book as he substitute 9 players in one time. Bulls were still trying to score from a counter but Japan started to play better and better. In the end two goals in the second half gave Japan an important victory and three points closer to the number one spot in the SPL.
Hawks-Vlis 6-2, Fantastic game full of goals ! 1-0,2-0,3-0,3-1,4-1,5-1,5-2,6-2 One of the goals by a Brasilian players (no 6) was applauded by the Belgian Players, Goal of the Season better than Ronaldinho. After the game the player was sold to Barcelona .
This Sunday we will have a full program with three games. Believe it or not but the weather will be 16 degrees on Sunday with a crystal blue sky. We cannot ask for more as on Monday the temperature will drop back to 4 degrees ! Gao Mao !
