Statement Game

The Villains kicked off the Spring '12 season by shaking off winter weight gain and laziness and picking up a 1-0 win over a team that was a bit older, a bit slower, and a bit fatter. A win is a win though, right? The team made many character-revealing statements along the way...

Mikkel made a big statement. You mean the big goal that he scored? No. Not at all. We're talking about his post-game fashion statement. Look at that dude! Flourescent shoes, Villain socks jacked up to his knees with flannel pajama pants tucked into them. Homeless man's sweatshirt and Bud Light in hand. Safe to assume that he was on the New Hampshire team, right? Wrong. Actually you are looking at The Villains leading scorer:



Some other Villain statements:

"We are a charitable bunch": Apparently the Villains felt bad that the other team sucked, so instead of posessing the ball, we just decided to give it to their goal keeper continuously via through balls that went too far. Now, granted the other team's defense was slow, but let's face it, so are our forwards and halfbacks. A little more possession, and a little less kicking the ball to the other team is always welcomed in the ole' game-o-futbol.

"Don't Mess w/ Management": That's right, for the second consecutive season, management has pulled a coup in landing prized free agents. After last year's stellar crop of John, James, Mikel and Josh (apologies of I forgot anyone), the hits just kept on coming with the Koehler brothers and Azzy! Great first game fellas, especially since the Koehler brothers haven't played soccer since all Villain players had full heads of hair.

"Yeah sure I'll drink beer but I won't bring any myself": You know who made that statement? Every single one of you who didn't bring beer, yet somehow managed to contribute to a collective 18-beers-in-two-minutes pound session, that's who! Good thing Salach upped the ante by busting out a bottle of whiskey in the parking lot post-game.

"Nah, I didn't blow out my back, pull my hamstring, sprain my ankle, and/or tear my ACL. I'm not even limping. That's just my gangsta lean.": Statement from every Villain at work Monday trying to play it off all cool when co-workers were like, "Bro, what the eff is wrong with you and why did you need to call security to help you get out of your car this morning?"



All-in-all, good to get a win to start the season. Gotta play better moving forward. First home game vs. Lexington next weekend. Have a good Easter and go for a freaking jog or two!
