SOCCER CENTRE, VAUGHAN - Toronto's new MLS franchise, Toronto F.C has agreed to Ouzo F.C's terms to bring Ruben Flores to the Open try-outs as a Coach/Scout. Toronto F.C's Management felt that his experience in the Mexican 1st division combined with Ouzo F.C was a deadly combination and just couldn't resist. The 4 day contract is the first between the two clubs and said to be rather prosperous for Ouzo. No one from Toronto F.C was available for comment, but rumour has it Ouzo will be looking to bring in a big name striker with the surplus of cash. The transfer market doesn't open until January, so the fans will have to wait until then.
Ouzo was also represented well at the try-out with Steve Sacchitiello and Matthew Smith both in attendance. Their life-time contracts with Ouzo F.C may prevent Toronto F.C from making a bid for the players.
OUZO 4 LIFE
SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Ouzo F.C lost another game by one goal, which ties a single season record. Ouzo tied there 2002 mark with there 3rd loss by one goal in one season. Something the boys are not happy about. "Another game that slipped out of our hands" said veteran Rob Rusnov. "We could have easily one any of those 3 games"
Ouzo lost their 3rd game in a row, despite goals from Wurthman and Schnitzel. Schnitzel is tied for second on the team with 4 goals this season.
With the game going back and forth, the scored was tied at 2 with just over 3 minutes left in the game. Ouzo were pressing and taking control of the match when Wurthman blasted a rocket of the crossbar and just over the goal line. The ref blew his whistle to signal a goal a the fans erupted. Then just as the boys were making a line change, the ref changed his mind and waved "play on". This after he had blown his whistle and pointed to the midline to signal a goal. "This guy is not a division one ref. He was just filling in" said a Soccer CIty official after the game. Too little too late though. A loss is a loss and all protests have to be handed in before the game.
This puts Ouzo is a tough spot and on the outside looking in for the 4th play-off spot. The team sits at 1-5-2, with 4 points going into the final 2 games. "Anything is possible, especially with our goal difference" Sac was heard saying after the game.

SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - The order form has just been put in to Wingers at the request of Ouzo FC to entice current Ouzo Internationale player Graham Fletcher to put his outdoor career on hold. Ouzo Boosters Jackie and John Fletcher and parents of both Graham and Stu “Iron Foot” Fletcher, have reportedly offered to sponsor Fletcher and his family to travel from Georgia in an attempt to get the former OFC defensive rock to join up with the lads for the Boxing Day Tourney.
Jackie Fletcher is quoted in saying “We’ll pay for his family’s flight along with room and board just as long as it’s what management wants. We have spoken to Graham and he is definitely interested. However, his only concern at this time is babysitting and running out of beer at the pub!”
Fletcher will be a great addition to Ouzo's defense. It is his proven dedication of slamming beers in the belly and opposing players in the boards that has made Fletcher a fan favorite.
Fletcher has yet to sign the 1 day contract and is waiting until Wingers confirms that Keg has been order. It is once Fletcher’s agent receives the official purchase order that the deal will be finalized.

SOCCER CENTRE, VAUGHAN - The "Ouzo youth movement" proved that they are heading in the right direction when the 2006 Ontario Soocer League Awards came out this week. Ouzo member, Johnny Krilis won the OSL "Rookie of the Year" award while on loan with Livno. He led the team to a 2nd place finish in Ontario's top amateur league.
Krilis has been a member of Ouzo since 2005. While he is still currently in University at McMaster in Hamilton, he is still a major part of Ouzo's success.
While Ouzo is not a member of the OSL, they use it as a recruiting source and as a loan option in the off-season. It has proved to be a valuable tool in the development of their young stars.

Ouzo unbeaten in 2 games wearing the new white jerseys

SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKE: Ouzo F.C extend their unbeaten streak to 2 games while wearing their new "all white" kit. While it wasn't pretty at times, they came away with a 2-2 tie against long time rivals Raging Bulls. The Penguin and company have yet to win a game this session and sit comfortably in last place.
Despite the late game time (11:30pm), Ouzo opened the scoring first on an excellent finish by Stu "Iron foot" Fletcher. Ouzo's go-to-player casually slotted home his 3rd goal of the season to put the boys up by 1. With the score 1-0 at half, Ouzo were pleased to head to the break up a goal.
With some excellent movement off the ball in the second half, the Bulls were able to get 2 quick goals and put Ouzo down by one. "The marking off the ball was horrible tonight" said Colin Wright after the game. And it wasn't the Guinness talking either. Both goals were the result of some casual defending and too much ball watching.
Credit to Ouzo for the comeback though. They fought hard knowing that the beers always taste better with a good result - and taste better they did. After some gritty end-to-end play, midfielder Behn Wurthman brought the ball down with a solid individual effort and played the ball beautifully off the boards to a wide open Vic Santos. Vic slotted home his 2nd of the season and proved to be the game saver. "We've been working on that play for a few games now. I'm glad it's starting to come off" said Santos after the game.
The late game didn't stop Ouzo from throwing back a few pitchers. 2:30am and the boys were just making there way out of the building. What would Wingers Lounge do without the drinking habits of Ouzo F.C?
Ouzo now sit at 1-2-2 for the season with a +1 goal differential. Up next is AC Attack, which should be an exciting game for the fans. Game time at 11:15am.
