Ouzo F.C

SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Ouzo has been on top form over the past month, winning their fourth in a row.  Ouzo jumped out to a 5-0 lead against Raging Bulls on Wednesday, only to finish 5-2.  With this win, Ouzo has clinched a play-off birth in a very competitive Sunday 1st Division.  "The team is playing with a lot of confidence during this winning streak" said newly acquired Midfielder Matt Geary.  Matt's two goals on Wednesday gives him 4 points in his last 2 games.

During this winning steak we have seen the emergence of some of Ouzo's veteran players.  Defender Rob Rusnov and forward Vic Santos have been playing at a high level.  Rusnov scored a BIG goal last week against first place AC Diavoli in the dying seconds of the game.  Steve "Sac in the attack" Sacchitiello made his first appearance of the season and notched an assist.  With stats like that, Management might be forced to push him into the attack on a more permanent basis.

With Ouzo on top form on the field, they have really stepped out their games in the bar.  Closing the bar down at 2:30am on Wednesday and several 3-4 hour sessions in the games prior, Ouzo is setting the standards at Soccer City.  No team has been able to compete with the team up at Wingers and during this 4 games winning streak.  Most would agree that no team has ever been able to compete with Ouzo FC upstairs at Wingers Bar. 

Ouzo finish the regular season this Saturday against Mirage/Asquad/Eur-A-sia or whatever you want to call them?!?  The self proclaimed superstars on Toronto's Recreation leagues have struggled this year with an unimpressive 3-6 record.  Ouzo will be without there top player Stu Fletcher who separated his shoulder in the win against Raging Bulls.  The gritty midfielder injured his shoulder going hard to the net, but fell awkwardly and as a result will be out for the remainder of the season.  Ouzo will definitely miss his creative ability.  Ouzo will call up Andrew Gaoncalves to replace Fletcher in this weekend's games.

On a side note, Ouzo would like to challenge any team this summer to out-drink us at BMO field's infamous "Carlsberg" Beer Garden.  We will be their proudly supporting our team, while proving to Toronto that "Our drinking team definitely has a soccer problem"^TM

Welland Soccer Club, Welland, ON - Ouzo apparently didn't learn anything from previous years going to the Welland Spring Classic.  With an impressive first day in the Tournament, Ouzo finished with a record of 2-1-0.  Clearly one of the front runners of the tournament on Saturday, Ouzo proved that they are still a better drinking team than soccer team.  With a late night of boozing, the boys came out flat and lost 3-1 to INSOC in the first game on Sunday.  INSOC went on to reach the finals only to lose 3-1 to the Serbian White Eagles.

"We really blew it this year" said Rob Rusnov.  "I can't believe we did it again to ourselves" said a dejected Schnitzel on the way back to KW.  This really could have been the year on the Ouzo.

Ouzo FC have vowed to not make this mistake for the fourth year in a row next year.  A strict curfew of 4am may have to be placed on the team, with some players not allowed to leave the hotel.  These are among several topics to be discussed by Management over the off-season.

Special thanks go out to the four players we called up from Livno in the OSL.
