Uh, yo - he was talking about a different game, not ours. So.... :confused:

Royals 1 Chile 1 Finally, a decently reffed game. Chile was very impressive - much better than our squad. Their ball control, movement and passing were superb. The possession must have been on the scale of 70-30 and only some brilliant goalkeeping on our end kept us in the game. Their goal came...

I didn't see our first goal - heard it was the result of a header off a good cross. Their first goal came from a lucky break when their player attempted a poor volley from outside the 18 that turned into a great cross and then some good finish. Their second goal was good finish - poor marking on...

Metropolitans 2 - Royals 2 Well, this game was poor on our part. End results felt unjust, but I guess they earned it. Our first goal was a shocker - their player and ours both poked at the ball from ~12 yards out. The ball was volleyed to the keep ~3ft off the ground and the ref called it a...

Vancouver Olympics 0 - TSA Royals FC The game started off fairly scrappy as both teams felt each other out. The game settled down and ~30min in our striker put away a beautiful goal, fighting off two defenders and slotting the ball past the keeper. 1-0 at half. Royals came out strong in the...

TSA Royals FC A 0 - Serbian White Eagles 0 Not much to report here. We came out very slow and it was easy to see that our squad has yet to adapt to Div 1 caliber playe - similar to our first season in Div 2, except the jump is larger here. Serbia had a majority of the possession, but little of...

My ankles hate you. Captain, the game has been moved to Holly (according to the website). A season spent on away pitches should be fun - the perfect way to kill the momentum we've built up in the community regarding the club.

I know we can reschedule, and the league is trying to do so. My complaint is more towards the fact that this is required to start with. Our other "options" are Saturday night, which the league would like to avoid, Sunday night, which will suck, or an away field, which will suck :mad:. We...

I'll start it off. Thank you to the VMSL for somehow scheduling almost exactly against our field availability. Of our 8 homes games scheduled prior to the Christmas break, 6 of them are on dates we do not have the field :confused: Apparently when you submit your field availability to them they...

I've never heard anyone refer to us when saying "very little by way of smack talk" :p It has definitely been a good year for us in that regard - we may have actually matured :eek: which likely helped us earn promotion. Good luck next season and perhaps see up in Div 1 the following campaign...

It's true. We also like to work the power-play in the same manner as the Sedins and use their slap-pass quite often - no-one sees it coming.

Bacardi FC 0 -TSA Royals FC 1 We had 11 players (12 if you include me, but I was medically unfit and simply a warm body). They had slightly more possession than us and more chances. We scored on a cracker off a dead ball.

TSA Royal 1 - UBC Metropolitans 1 (TSA wins PK's) Despite missing 4 starters we were able to hold UBC to only a couple half chances from outside the penalty area. UBC put one away with ~15 min to go to take a 1-0 lead. TSA poured on the pressure for the final 15min but couldn't find that...

Still have UBC on Sunday - though I'll be a spectator. We'll see after that

Sarajevo 1 TSA Royals FC 1 (Sarajevo won tie-breaker PKs) 0-0 at half with neither team having any clear-cut chances. Royals went up 1-nil at ~55min mark off a free kick that was fumbled around the box for a couple seconds before being slotted behind the keeper. I pulled my hammy at the...

TSA Royal 4 - GD 3 This one went to extra time. They did not appear to be ready for the game - they barely warmed up pre-game - and we went into the break up 2-0. In the second half, they brought themselves within one, followed by a strange one. We regained our 2 goal advantage with a ball...

Yup, we played poorly - injuries and suspensions caught up with us. Hopefully it is a wake-up call for this weekends game against the Green Devils. That being said, worst part of the game wasn't even for us. Their left wing was running after a ball into the corner and as he ran past our sideline...

Not exactly the league envisioned a division being finished - two forfeits for the teams to remain tied at the top :confused:. To be honest, though, the week off will really help our team recover from injuries - we've been pretty banged up for the last couple games and a bunch of guys have been...

Vatreni 0 - TSA Royals 1. They couldn't field a team. Come on West Van!

Well - game is on for Friday at 7:30. Hopefully we can pick up the points and not drop the ball. As for our game this weekend: TSA Royals 3 GFC United Lions 2 We controlled a majority of the play, and possession was in the neihborhood of 65-35, if not more for us. An OG in the first half off a...
