MOTG wins The Chicago Street Cup

3 July 2008, - We traveled from NYC to the windy city. Upon arrival and checking into a top hotel on the South side of Chicago, we chilled for a bit and headed to the city. We went to Grant park and enjoyed the Taste of Chicago. Later that night we played some spontaneous street games against whoever at the fireworks on Lake Michigan, we got some sick footage.

4 July 2008, - Still enjoying the holidays we went to the venue of the tournament and met with the organization. Much thanks to Mike & Brain and all the staff at Chicago Indoor Sports for looking after us!!! They have a great facility over there so if you are looking for a spot to play indoor soccer, you know where to go. Later in the afternoon we headed back down to Grant Park to catch the happenings as well as go to the city to buy some gear (someone left their shoes in NYC - Lenny MacNack!!!).

5 July 2008, 9:00 am - We arrived at the venue ready for battle. The tournament got off to a good start. I am not going to go into all details of every match but MOTG won both games with ease this day. We will be putting some video footage online soon from the whole tournament. After they realized our skills everyone changed up their games and it was more of a street brawl and free fight than football. But never fear, the squad held it down and did what they came to do, kick ass and take names later!

6 July 2008, - Our first game wasnt until like 11 am. We quickly finished off the poule rounds and breezed through to the semi finals. This was the first match that was even close to being a challenge. We had to play a team full of Bosnians. They understood the game but it was all physical and not about skills. After MOTG squared off and got in sync they killed them as well. After this there was only one more... The final.... Long story short - MOTG won 6-3. We came to win it and that is what happened. The videos will tell the story later... DOPE FOOTAGE, MOTG Murder DEM!

Street football in America has a lot of growing to do and a long way to go. There are guys with talent but the scene needs to be developed. The tournament was good but there were a lot of small organizational problems and not a big turnout compared to the tournaments in Europe and South America. But all in all it was a good start. Thanks to all the players and teams that support MOTG and showed us love. Big up to Travis and crew from CALLE Soccer, they were there and showed MOTG a lot of love and respect. We will get up with you guys next time we are in LA. To all USA street football players... Let build up this scene and take it to the next level. Signing off and we hope to have some dope video footage from you guys real soon.... Off to Suriname, South America.
