The Tour...
We have been playing a lot of pickup games, hanging out and enjoying NYC, you know the players have been buying shoes, shades, and whatever else is hottt plus there has been a battle royal in the house on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. The question is who will be the champion. Lenny Netteb talked a good game out the blocks but so far issy hitman is the master. I guess his skills are not only on the pitch.

Since our last update things have been going great. We did 2 incredible clinics down at the courts in Chinatown. The kids attending the camps always have a lot of fun and enjoy themselves. But more importanly the LEARN something about football. Thanks to the NYC parks department for supporting MOTG! Good looking Cory and the rest of your team.

Its 4am and the alarm clock goest off. We have a 3 1/2 drive up to Boston to compete in the Futbolito tournament. We arrived around 0845 and our first reactions were not good cause the surface was grass and we at least expected artificial turf. Top make matters even worse the the grass was at least 3-5 inches tall. The grass litterly covered 1/4 of the ball. After a mad search we went and bought some shoes for Lenny MacNack, Edward decided to play in his street shoes... Games were slow and the competition was mixed. The organization told us that the referees didnt show up so they used people from the audience and offered to pay them $20 per game. Do the math. There were friends calling games of friends and this was a professional tournament!!! We got there early and breezed through all the prerounds. We were there with 2 teams, the official MOTG team and the other was with our crew from NYC (edward and issy played on this team). Shouts out to TONY and the rest of the crew!! Fast forward to about 2 pm after a disappointing match and breathing down a quick pizza... we were on the sideline chillin just watching the game from Tony's team and all hell broke lose. One bad call by a ref (friend on the competing team) and a disagreement lead to someone throwing a water bottle from somewhere in the crowd. We have video footage but its not too nice for the Boston Police department. Long story short we all came together so we left together due to comments of a "racist" Boston Po Po telling one of players from our NYC team that they didnt want their kind there and to Go HOME! Can you picture it... Stay tuned we may leak it on youtube... All in all we had a good day and some fun.
