It’s been a while since I posted anything about the NI Eagles, Austin’s top soccer team (approximately).
We are one game away from the end of the Spring 2005 season. We are now in Division 2, having moved up all the way from Division 5 (which is pretty good considering that we are largely the same group of players). The top 2 teams will go up to Division 1. We are now in second place, tied with the Screaming Sparks. The Aardvarks are close and have two games left.
This means that, if we beat Sky Sports on Sunday, we go to Division 1, otherwise we stay in Division 2.
We will be missing quite a few players too, as Jaramillo, Chaparro and Mota are flying to Puebla for Muleiro’s wedding, and I’m going to Monterrey to get constipated eating matzah (and other beige food).
I’ll keep you updated.
