Everything done, nothing won

For second year in a row, Pagewood did play the semifinals, after end up in the top of the league. This year with a much better difference as we end up leaders with 4 points of difference with our closest chaser (The Eagles). One year ago, we had to share this position with Heffron and Easts. 
Great improvement....but those statics will became only numbers for the memory if this sunday the reds come back home with they're hands empty. Will this means that is been a bad season? Far from that. Pagewood is the only team (with the persmission of the greek birds) that has a more defined style of play, or at least more idea. 

Individually the team did a huge step forward in all the lines, as each one of our team players did had some kind of improvement tactically or technically. 
- Jason Break the barrier of 20 goals, 7 more than the last year.
- Ross is on the way to get 20 MVP points if he can get some in the final. With 6-8 games LESS
- Carlos has scored or participated in 15 goals in his first season.
- Pete did score more goals in one game than in the entire past season, without mention  his assistances.
-  Cam found his "nieche" position as a defensive and creator midfielder. 
- George and Ian are a secure barrier in defense supported with 2 good fullbacks. 
- Marco scored and created more goals already than the last season. 
- Jack, Pat, and Darren are really good incorporations, and during the entire season they showed good commitment and skills
- Foff was reconverted as a fullback, increasing the security in the defensive line, and becoming a much more confident player.
- Kenny has become a key player, much more incisive than the last season

Wow, how many flowers right? Everything is pink at the moment, until sunday at 2:30pm.

I don't know how many players are going to show up on friday for the only training session before the game, unfortunately friday is a tricky day as a lot of people work, but as much as its possible we should have a good attendance!  

Olympic Eagles are pumped, motivated, they are been thinking in this final since they beat us 3-2. Traininng, and working towards the final. They have been training in astro turf pitches, with a coach. If any of you guys think that this is done, you are all wrong. This is a simple mathematic thing, like 2+2 is 4.
Overconfidence, or cockyness can be our biggest enemy for this sunday, and I drop this now. It's NOT going to be a walk in the park. We have a big team, strong in all the lines, but we are NOT unbeatable. We are not the king of the mambo, and don't get fooled for our last result. 8-1. That was one in a million, against a weak team, more agger to play kung fu than football. Against the greeks, we will find a really strong and organised defensive line, with strong and skilled midfielders, and a lot of powerfire in attack. Just a quick reminder of how that short and talented striker did a magic dance over some players in the last defeat 3-2. Including myself. 

I know, pessimistic and boring Marco. But somebody has to say those things. Because they are all true. They want this trophy as much as we do, but they are been working towards it much more that we have done. 

We are playing a final sunday, all or nothing, as simple as it sounds. Every mistake will be paid in blood this sunday. Is no way back, or is not next game anymore. If we are not mentally and phisically prepared, we are NOT going to win.

On the other side, if we play together, as we usually do, if we stick to our plan, as we usually do, and if we use our tools wisely, we will succeed. 

I personally want the trophy, what about you? and if you want it, what are you going to do for make a difference? Exacly.....think about it.

We are great, guys, we are. We are the league leaders. Now. Let's become the champions.

It's all on you....
