I'll give you a few scores with some commentary then I'll just hope someone else will post comments about their games.
Liverpool Gerrard 0
Solar PFC Bryant 10 (approx.)
I stopped counting after 6 or 7 goals. Liverpool was in a funk. Maybe the boys were tired from playing the Wii too much on Saturday night. Maybe it was the first game of the season with new players. Maybe they are 8 years old and their level of play is inconsistent, but they just didn't show up to play.
Liverpool Gerrard 4
Solar Blue 3
This was a fun game and both teams played well. This Liverpool squad was a completely different team than 2 weeks prior. They played a mix of soccer and kickball as most teams do at this age, but they had some really nice possessions and maintained good shape throughout most of the game. I commented to my wife that I didn't care whether they won or loss because they played well. Solar Blue played well too, and had several great shots that hit a post or crossbar.
Liverpool Gerrard 2
Crushers White 4
This game was two different halves. It was 2-0 Liverpool at halftime, but the boys ran out of gas. This was their second game of a doubleheader yesterday, and the first half looked like the first game against Solar Blue, and I thought Liverpool would run away with it, but with a few players missing due to spring break they lost their legs. The defense could not make the plays that were made earlier in the day and Crushers were able to maintain the pressure and started scoring. Once they went up by 2 goals, I think Liverpool packed it in and the boys' heart wasn't in it anymore. Despite the loss, I think Liverpool is a better team (obviously I'm biased). I think if these two teams played 10 times, Liverpool would win 8 of them, but on this day, Crushers had the legs and Liverpool didn't.
