Club Bad News Bears (0-0-0) vs. Hot Soccer Moms (1-0-0)
February 26, 2012 8:00pm CST
Bear Creek Park Field #5
Houston, Texas
The road to soccer immortality begins tonight for Club Bad News Bears. If the club is serious about finally hoisting a championship trophy over their heads, then no match is more important than tonight's against Hot Soccer Moms. If the players are truly "on board" with Coach Oscar's new-found vision for the team, than this match is perfect for each and every player to show it. Tonight, the Bears write their own story that will forever be remembered in soccer history.
As is always the challenge, both of these clubs have never met before. With that, there are plenty of unknowns that both sides will have trouble creating strategy for. Who are their best players? What's their preferred formation? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Unfortunately for a coaching staff, those questions and more are answered during the game, but it will be the team who can react to these unknowns quickly and adjust. The Bears have the advantage in this department, despite not doing so well on opening day against new opponents. Assistant coach Scott is looking forward to the challenge presented to the club.
"It's not going to be a walk in the park tonight against our opponents, but I have the utmost confidence in our players. With our speed and talent, we should be able to make quick adjustments to anything that Hot Soccer Moms throw at us."
Tonight's game will be a bit on the cooler side, as temperatures will be down in the upper 50s by game time. There's a slight 10% chance of rain, but field conditions shouldn't be affected by the 8:00pm kickoff.
Club Bad New Bears:
- 1st meeting against Hot Soccer Moms. Last game the Bears played was a 2-2 tie against Heatstrikers to close out the 2011 Fall season.
- The Bears will be without defender Ashley Castaldo (personal obligations).
- With the release of a few players, including Lorena Reyes, the Bears will have to learn quickly on developing a team rhythm.
- The Bears should focus on smart passing; look down field and pass with a purpose.
Hot Soccer Moms:
- 1st meeting against Club Bad News Bears. Won their last game 3-0 against Katy SDA this season.
- 1st season in the HWSA.
- Posting a shutout during their first game, the Bears should find a way to get past a defense that hasn't allowed a goal this season.
- Since they are new to this league, they don't have a lot to lose. The pressure is more on their opponents who have been in this league before.
