The Chelmsford Sunday Soccer Club's Blog

Not exactly the forecast that will turn Facebook into the Weather Channel, but this Sunday looks to be a good day to play soccer. Anyone high school age or older is welcome.

Bring a white shirt, bring a dark shirt, do not bring a grey shirt. Do not bring a “kinda grey” shirt. It isn’t that complex. Bring water too.

Let’st try to kick off at 8:30. See you thee.

The field at McCarthy is big. So, even if we break into two games there is plenty of room to run. Saturday’s weather looks rainy, but Sunday looks perfect. I predict that the field will be green at McCarthy.

Let’s start at 8:30 and play until at least 10:30. White shirt and dark shirt.

BTW, if anyone sees our lost Aussies, please help them find the field.

It seems that the weather is going to be perfect for yard work this Sunday. So, you may wish to skip soccer so that you can do more weeding and such. I’ll get to my yard work after soccer.

Let’s continue with the 8:30 start time while we are on the turf. Kick off at 8:30 at McCarthy. Bring a white shirt and a dark shirt so that we can balance the teams. Bring water.

Once we get to 12 v 12, it is probably best that we break into two 6 v 6 games so that we all get lots of running and touches on the ball.

The forecast for Sunday morning does not look good. I am not worried about playing in the rain (particularly on the turf), but am concerned about thunderstorms. If it is light to moderate rain, we’ll be there at McCarthy. If it is thunderstorms, we won’t. Hope that the storms hold off long enough for us to get our game in.

8:30 worked well as a start time last week. Let’s do that again and for the rest of the summer — while we’re on the turf.

Those of you who have cleats that fell apart should bike on out to Soccer Stuff in Acton to get new ones today. The bike path goes right by there. Buy cleats. Cross train. It’s all good.

Start at 8:30 — not our usual 9:00ish.

Cooler temps at that time.

Bring water anyway.

Bring a white shirt.

Bring a colored shirt.

Do not bring a grey shirt.

Be ready to kick-off at 8:30. I’m recording the final, but want to make sure that I start watching it before everybody tells me the outcome.

Good games today. It is nice to see so many people playing.

The World Cup Final is at 11:00 AM next Sunday. So, let’s kick-off at 8:30 AM so that those of us who are interested, can get home to watch the match live. It may also be a degree or two cooler at that time.

Although FIFA has not responded to my E-Mail, I am confident that they will take me up on the offer for us to play winner. This makes it even more important that we carefully watch the finals to see what we have to work on before that match.

As we’ve been doing for the last several summers, we are moving to the turf until the CYSA season starts again. Pass the word along.

I was going to suggest that, in honor of Independence Day, that we wear red and white on one side and blue and white on the other. I was then reminded that grey and not grey seems to be a tough concept in our group. So, forget that idea.

Please bring plenty of water on Sunday. The weather does not look quite so hot, but the turf kind of amplifies the heat.

I have written to FIFA about the World Cup and told them “we got winner”. I will let you know when that game is scheduled.

No rain predicted, but it looks like it will be warm. Bring plenty of water, a white shirt, and a dark shirt. It is a good idea to really hydrate tonight in anticipation of the warm weather on Sunday.

Last week we had a very nice 10 v 10. The week before we had two 7 v 7 games.

Hope to see you all there at Murphy.

We do not post every week. We do post if something changes. But not always if we are just going to do what we’ve been doing.
