Amiga’s and Amigo’s,

Temperatures are reaching 30 degrees this weekend in Shanghai . Last Sunday we had two typical exciting SPL games in Green City for the spectators it was fun and pure entertainment.

Vlis – Galacticos 4-5
Both team very eager to get out of the bottom of the league. You can argue that they are in the bottom because their defense is not strong enough or you can say that they don’t score enough goals. In this game goals were everywhere which made it an interesting game. Both teams were lacking an actual goal keeper which of course makes a difference, the fact that Galacticos had more substitutes might have given them the edge to secure the three points.

Lions – Japan 3-4
Because of the Golden week holiday in Japan they didn’t have 35 players this time but unfortunately for the Lions the strongest and fastest players were still there. The Lions wasted several opportunities in the first half but got a gift fm Japan as the goalie let the ball slip throught his fingers. Japan playing on the counter attack like kamikaze warriors and quickly drew level 1-1. The second half we need to give credit to Japan as their passing combined with speed was too much for the Lions who now have to fear for the second spot in the SPL.

This weekend we have no games but there will be a youth international rugby tournament on the field so if you are interested come and watch the games !
