Game 3 - Emerald Dragons
"The Negotiators" played their third Spring game on Saturday, sharing a display of well-played soccer with the Emerald Dragons.
This being a Spring break game, "sharing" is the operative word, as The Negotiators did not have enough players to field a team. A 7th "Negotiator" showed up just before game time - technically a game is forfeit if less than 7 players show up.
Mr. Dreyfus, gentleman coach of the Emerald Dragons, offered to loan us two players (rather than give his team a crushing and demoralizing victory against us in a 11 v.s. 7 romp.)
The boys played 9 v.s. 9 and made this coach an instant fan of the fewer player format for Under 12 soccer.
We saw excellent passing and the boys working as a team. A soccer team thinking.
Bravo!
The game was 1:1 at the half and ended up 4:1 at the end.
Three cheers for the noble Emerald Dragons and coach, without whom The Negotiators would never have had a chance to play a great game of soccer.
