Aug 30 - Kickoff Picnic a Success, Strong Attendance This Year

 

(Suffern, NY) - The Suffern Soccer Booster Club hosted the annual kickoff picnic on Friday and with a strong turnout in attendance the Varsity Coaches kicked off the season with some introductions and commentary about the program.  Booster Club membership is now over 80 familes.  Apparel sales were strong and the early journal tallies looks to be on pace to be even more than last years.  Suffern Soccer gave back to the community as well by sending some of the extra salads and desserts to the local town soup kitchen for the less fortunate.

 

Many thanks to all the parents that helped setup, serve and than take down and clean up to help make the picnic a huge success.   And now on to the season!

Aug 21 - USA Women's Soccer Team beats Brazil 1-0 for gold medal

By NANCY ARMOUR, AP National Writer 9 minutes ago

Olympic champions, once again.

 

Carli Lloyd scored in the sixth minute of overtime Thursday night, Hope Solo bailed out her teammates time and again, and the United States beat Brazil 1-0 to win the gold medal in women’s soccer for a third time in four Olympics. As the final whistle sounded, the Americans charged across the field, hugging anyone in sight. Someone handed out flags, and several players took off, running.

The Brazilians, meanwhile, were disconsolate. Goalkeeper Barbara lay on her back, sobbing, while Cristiane sat on the ground crying. Marta, who had been so brilliant all night only to see her team come up short yet again in a major tournament, put her hand to her head.

 

The Americans looked sluggish and outclassed against the Brazilians for much of the game. But just as they have all Olympics, they came through when it counted.

Amy Rodriguez held off two Brazilians and put the ball up for Lloyd who gave it a light touch with her right foot and then left-footed it from a yard outside the area. Barbara dived, but the ball scooted past her and settled in the far bottom corner of the net.

Marta gave Brazil a chance in the 102nd minute, but she was tackled by Heather Mitts and then, after getting the ball back, was blocked first by Kate Markgraf and then by Christie Rampone. Brazil peppered the U.S. goal in the final minutes of overtime, but couldn’t connect.

Earlier, world champion Germany defeated Japan 2-0 in the bronze medal game.
