Hundreds of people turned out to watch our final game. The Boys once again imported a home-town advantage even against the local favorite with the help of the U16s, who've issued nicknames to all the Boys.
We're sitting here at the bar with Monico, Alfedo, and the Cronks, recapping the day.
The Boys defeated Solar of Texas 3-0 to advance to the Quarter Finals tomorrow against Surf. Stevie opened the scoring, bending in an Olympico Golazo on a corner kick. Shortly after, Trevor scored on a bombazo from 25 yards out into the upper corner. In the second half, the Boys faced the strong wind. The Boys didn't score again until the second half, when Stevie went coast-to-coast. The keeper couldn't stop his shot, and Kevin followed up with the finish. Parker had a chance, and Pacheco bounced a volley off the crossbar.
Matt, Mikey, Juanito, Thomas, and Teddy held down the defense, while Kevin and Anthony played a strong midfield. Teddy actually had 2 saves today.
The Boys are the only advancing team to have 3 shutouts, and have outscored their opponents 11-0. 4 of the 6 southern California teams attending Dallas Cup have advanced beyond the bracket stage. Only Aztec and Arsenal failed to advance.
The Boys celebrated with dinner at Luna de Noche, a Tex-Mex restaurant nearby. The Boys have been passing around a mild stomach bug, and are trying to stay healthy and ice their bruises.
