Weston Cup


Weston Cup



Last Weekend I attended the Weston cup with my team Cutler Ridge Soccer (CRS). We started off with a tie against a team from Brazil. Getting a tie against a team from another country felt pretty good. Especially since that team was from a country known for its soccer. The next game we played PSG, which is a team that we have already played before and lost. Therefore we went in hard and actually dominated the game. We had so many shots on target, but the goalie was just too good and blocked all of them. We ended up getting another tie, which meant we had to win the next game in order to advance to the semi-finals.

Knowing that we had to get a win, put a lot of pressure on us. Getting a win wasn't going to be easy because in the last game against PSG, many of our Defense players got hurt. We lost 4 out of our 6 defensive players, therefore our coach had no other option but to put some of our offensive players on defense. For the third game against West Pines, we had many people playing out of position and we had no subs because everyone was hurt. So we had to work even harder to get the win.

Despite the fact that we didn't have our main squad playing on the field, we still got the win. We won 3-0 and i got two assists. We felt great knowing that we were in the semi-finals, but also scared because we still had some of our players injured. We played against a team with a weird name (which I forgot). They lost against the Brazilian team so that made us feel a little more confident about the game. The game began and immediately in the 8th minute of the game the other team scored. We thought it was going to be the only goal they score because our defense made a silly mistake. But after that goal, they just kept scoring and scoring and Eventually we lost 6-0.

Even though we lost, I think we still did pretty good with the team that we had. It sucks to lose by so much, especially after all the hard work we put into the other games. I think if we had our main starting 11, we would have won that game and probably the whole tournament. There is nothing else we could of done, we did all that we could and the opponent out played us. I would say maybe we'll win it next year but this is my last year playing club soccer so there is no next time.
