I tell you though, when you go elsewhere to play against foreign O-40/50 teams...there isn't a "lot" of competition: when we first headed down to Peru to play in a tourney down there, I don't know what we were expecting but it wasn't to be up 5-0 at the half. Other nations seem to grow guts as...
Interesting read, reminds me of an 80's researcher (whose name I can't remember) who studied 10,000+ games and came up with some interesting stats that seemed to counter classic "possession" ball:

Those were fun days Regs, I remember hitting a road block on Oak after too many beers and whatnot and you whipping out a textbook and studying...I had to laugh but it worked!
Take care buddy, not playing any more but I pop in now and then.
New joint at 575 West Georgia downtown called The Nosherie. A disclaimer that the owner is a buddy of mine. I had his Rueben sandwich today and it might be the best I've ever had. Unconventional, with a cabbage topping on toasted rye. Very tasty! They've been open for 4 weeks now and are still...
Viva on Georgia was probably the hottest disco/bar in town for quite a few years. The Gandydancer was a gay bar that was pretty hot as well as all the women loved going there...all this circa 1980 or so.
When I was in grade 12 I started playing fastball in a men's league and I once woke up with a huge headache and glitter all over my head. I had passed out at Izzy's Strip City which I think was on Davie somewhere near Hamburger Mary's (but it might have been Robson pre-posh era...). I had...
The Rendezvous at the Holiday Inn on Broadway between Oak and Cambie.
The Jolly Alderman at 12th and Cambie...I turned 19 in there, faint recollections of getting tackled as I was making a speech standing on one of those little square tables with the red terry tablecloth. My shorts (it was...
Well if the defender was in between Hassli and the goal-which, btw, would have given him the ability to "see his man and the ball at all times"-Hassli wouldn't have had a free volley. He may have still won the touch on the ball but he wouldn't have been able to tee it up like he did.
So is it...

He was totally unmarked inside the 18...the defender was doing his job?
There was nobody else around for him to mark, he should have been close enough to touch him.
Geez, how many times have we ruined your BC's Sir M? I remember doing it at Kinsmen, seeing it happen out in Peace Arch, you're saying it happened at UBC...
Westside 7-2 PA Dragons
Never really in doubt as PA were missing some bodies I think. They played GK on the back line for the first half and the early part of the second. They came back with one to make it 2-1 and then Westside started to romp. They scored one late as well.
Now to the much...
