Amigo's and Amiga's,

Havoc everywhere in the world on the weather front !
Its still a miracle we could play two games in Shanghai on Sunday !
Most of us do remember on the rainy days we used to play back in Europe, we called that typical "Football Weather" days !
That's what we had and four teams were lucky to be able to enjoy it. One of the happiest person I have seen for a while was Danielle of the Galacticos as she became the first Female Player to have ever scored in the SPL !
On behalf of everybody in the SPL congratulations to her and we do realize that now the pressure is on Miki.
Hopefully she will score soon !

ERS - Flamenkos 5-1
Sometimes the way you start a game can make the difference and especially in these weather conditions that might be true.
Half an hour before the kick off I counted 15 Flamenkos on the pitch and only 2 ERS players.
The game was good with fast moving football and the Flamenkos with the Spanish Blood were more deadly in front of the goal and that made the difference !

Galacticos - Super 48 9-2
To me it looked like the Super 48 are getting stronger as they got more possession and scored two good goals and it could have been more as they hit the wood work. But of course this kind of weather was a big plus
for the Galacticos who with the help of Danielle worked hard to get a better Goal Tally for this season.

Japan - Lions we called of out of consideration for the field.
The pitch is in great condition and it's as much in our interest as it is in the schools interest to keep it like that.

The weather outlook for this Sunday is excellent blue sky and 12 degrees so I am looking forward to a thrilling SPL weekend with great Games !

11 PM Super 48 - Japan 
An all Japan affair the pitch will look like down- town Tokyo and I am sure Super 48 will try hard this time to go for the up set of the season !

13 PM Hawks - Bulls
Will be interesting to see how both teams come out of their wintersleep. Attacking Football for sure !

15 PM Flamenkos - Galacticos
Last time they played the score was 6-5 so best is to come all down to the field and watch this game !

Frederik thank you for saving my life and as promised 2010 will be THE
Football year with many historic moments the SPL was the first to have one !

See you all this Sunday !
Enjoy winter in Shanghai not a bad place to be !

Cheers Freek / SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee
