Nov. 4/06. SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Ouzo came out of the gates hard against Olympia this past Saturday with a 5-1 win. This was Ouzo's first win of the season to win back the fans of Soccer City. The new acquired Matt Geary opened the scoring with a drive to the far corner from a nice pass from Gus "1st Class" Polymerus. The second goal came from a pretty play that Vic Santos set up with Jesse the "Schnitz" Geisel waiting out the goalie to place it in the empty net. Ouzo played one of their all time best matches scoring a third goal before half, Gus Polymerus scored an unassisted goal to put Ouzo up 3-0 at half. It was unclear whether Ouzo was really playing the best soccer ever or if Olympia was drunk from the 3 pints of Zywiec they had before the game. At any rate Ouzo, maintained their momentum going into the second half with another great goal from Vic Santos on a pass from Steve Saccatello. Ouzo was up 4-0 before Olympia scored their first goal. AKA the "Big Man"- cause he really is a big man scored a near post goal with just under 10 minutes left in the game. Ouzo put the game well out of reach when Stu "iron foot" Fletcher burried a pass from Phil Kennedy to make it 5-1.

Ouzo walked away with their first win of year and realized the beer does taste better when you win.

Nov. 5/06. SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Ouzo played their second game of the weeked against Olympia this time with a different result and a different Olympia. Olympia opened the scoring of this game with the "Big Man" scoring on the short side of the Ouzo Keeper Colin Wright to make it 1-0 early in the first half. Ouzo did not seem to be on their game as they were 24 hrs ago. Ouzo went into half time being down 1-0. Ouzo would go down 2-0 when "Big Man" would score his second goal on a similar turn and short side shot in the corner. Ouzo would go down 3-0 when the "Big Man" would get his natural hat trick and score his third of the game. Ouzo's fan base was not impressed, as their defense seemed to be sleeping (see picture below).

Ouzo would battle back though when Gus "1st Class" Polymerus would bury a pass from Phil Kennedy with just over 10 minutes remaining. Polymerus would add his second of the night to make it 3-2 when he finished a pass across the goal from Matt Geary. With just over a minute remaining Mike "Yell at the Ref" Michaelides would finish a pass from Stu Fletcher to tie the game at 3 all. Not much later Mike Michaelides would receive a pass in front of the Olympia goal to turn and shoot, but only have it saved by the Olympia goalie. The "Big Man" would have 1 last chance with only a second on the clock, however, this time Colin Wright would get a finger and push the ball over the goal. The game would end in a 3-3 tie which turned out to be a real barn burner for the fans.

Ouzo would retire to Wingers for beer and wings to celebrate their first class come from behind battle. Stay tuned Nov.19 when Ouzo will play a Late Night 11:30pm game against the Raging Bulls. Hope to see all of you there.
