The NI Eagles had a victorious debut yesterday in the Austin City League. We started out in Division 5 and have climbed all the way up to Division 2. We played Fusion yesterday, and beat them 2-0. This should be a fun torunament!
Carlos Marchani and Papa Faye scored for NI Eagles.
Yesterday, with a 5-0 victory over T2, the NI Eagles win the Austin Soccer City League Division 3 championship (after moving up from Division 5 and Division 4) with two games to spare. We will be in Division 2 next tournament.
Sadly, I have been out for most of this league due to a nasty foot injury. Oh well…. hopefully I can rejoin the team soon.
Congratulations to all of the team for an incredible season! (and to Boris our imposing goalkeeper for scoring his first goal with the team).
About a month ago, I hurt my foot badly playing indoor soccer. I dislocated my big right toe. I had to use crutches for a few days and I can’t play soccer for another month!
I have uploaded a very beautiful photo album showing some x-rays. Cool!

NI Eagles fell 1-0 against old time rival Cameron Road United. They broke our 8-win streak. For a moment there I thought they also broke one of my ribs but x-rays have now confirmed that nothing is broken – perhaps cracked but not broken for sure.
Well, we’ll see if in a few days I can start laughing or sneezing without pain.
Use the comments section on this post for those “get well soon” wishes. This will also serve as a sick experiment to see if anyone actually reads the articles in this website and not only come here for the pictures.
I placed the link to the (currently) official website for the NI-Eagles in the links sidebar.
Go see the pictures!
We started in Austin’s Third division with the right foot, defeating Cameron Road United 4-2… We scored the first goal and went to half time 1-0, but they scored two quick goals and were ahead 2-1 early in the second half. We were able to pull it off though.
Novotny, Jernimo, Papa and Dave Fuller scored for us.
A 5-2 win over FC-02 Austin this morning places NI Eagles on top of the League. We lost 3 important players to injuries (Mota, Ross, Diego), but still pulled the win.
This is great! We’re moving up a division. Good job team.
This morning, the NI Eagles (my soccer team) played the former leader of the season. We completely demolished them by an outrageous 7-0 (not a single one of them mine 🙁 …). Great! one more game and unless we screw up big time, we’ll climb up to the next division.
This past Sunday, we (NI Eagles) lost in a very tight match against the Land Sharks in the Austin City League. This puts us in third place, with still quite a few games to go. We still have a chance to win the league and to be promoted to the next division. I’ll keep you updated.
