Brunello overtake their previous season stats already

The top two teams in Division one have stark differences in their stats. While BEFC have the league's top goal scorer, Junji Thiago, Brunello lack any one individual player carrying them. That's not to say BEFC don't play as a team, they do have a clear group of core members that link up very well in possession of the ball. But compared to Brunello (and for that matter, any team compared to Brunello) the tactics are less detailed. So far they are getting good mileage off of refined patterns of play and clearly defined team rules.

The opening fixtures of TML 23!

After a dominating performance in Division 3, Teranga looked excited to carry on their streak in Division 2. However, their first game against Dutch FC at Setagaya Koen was a draw. Perhaps an indication that Division 2 will not be so easy, or perhaps Teranga have had one too many parties at the club over the summer. BEFC Lions, the other team that got promoted from Division 3, also could not preform so well their first game in Division 2. They took a loss from Zion 1-0. In Division 1, the story repeats itself.

End of Season 22, season 23 on it's way

The End of Season Party was hosted down at one our communal sponsors, Footnik Oosaki. A good spirited Futsal was hosted with 6 teams, with Pumas FC winning and taking home the prize of a case of Heineken beer. The captains meeting got very spicy, everyones face lit up when it came to the feedback of refs! There was a general agreement that limiting cross division players helps form a better bonding team so we've decided to stick with 4 cross division players next season as well. Match fee's will be increasing across the board due to inflation.

ESR FJ Cup and Plate Finals

What a final the cup and plate was this season! Over the past 5 years, I've observed mostly defensive bitty games. And who can blame them for playing like that? When the winners of a tournament come down to who wins in 80 minutes, games are bound to get cautious. It's not a coincidence that a good ratio of finals in the past have come down to penalties.
