League Final at 7th and Union vs this seasons rivals, Lima. After several shots off the post, we took 1 point from a beautiful series of passes built up from our backline, through our midfield and into our forwards for an easy goal. Several of our strikers were taken down inside the box with no call — in the second half #19 Rivera had his leg taken out from under him on a scissor kick attempt and a penalty kick was finally awarded. Rivera’s kick was deflected by the keeper — but with no shots on goal, Lima was neutralized. Frustrated, Lima began pushing, kicking and hacking our players, leading to a red card and ejection of their midfielder.

Two girls from Santa Monica High School chip a fútbol through Randy’s Donut hole — brilliant. Borrowed fromaleftwing.

As previously discussed and linked on fromaleftwing, the ACL Prevention Program (PEP) outlines an excellent program for prevention of ACL tears in women — who are 8 times more likely than men to have this type injury. This is a necessary read for anyone playing soccer, basketball or football — man or woman.
