Fall 2022 Excellence

FC77 Winners in Fall 2022

December 20, 2022. Hard work and talent (we think) paid off for FC77 teams in the Fall 2022 Season.

In Over 40 Division IV, FC Bollocks finished 1st in the season standings, then lost 1-2 to Griffins/Solvana Brewing in the playoff match.

In Over 50 Division I, FC Ajax finished 2nd in the season standings, then beat Kells 1-0 in the playoff match. Champions!

In Over 50 Division II, FC Hibernians finished 3rd in the season standings.

Athletic Cup 2022 - Sept. 3, 2022

September 7, 2022. "The Athletic Cup worked out great! We had 4 full teams and we played a round robin format - for the most part 40 minutes games (the last one was 30 minutes due to time constraints). We divided the teams by going the elementary school route - lined everyone up and gave them a number (1-4) and then they went and got their team color - red, blue, white, gold.

We had 40+ FC77 guys, plus a group of Mojos, and finally a group from Viet Canyon Auto (they helped us in the Summer Legacy tournament so we sent them an invite). Overall numbers were about 75 or so including spouses and kids.

Dana Bozek put together a great spread with Jay Johnson providing his BBQ skills. Many folks brought tables, canopies, and grills.

Everyone was really happy to pitch in and in the future I bet you we can easily get some sponsors or perhaps even a food truck."

Argentina and Salt Bae Win World Cup

December 20, 2022. Self-styled celebrity chef "Salt Bae" inserted himself into post-match celebrations of the Argentine winners of the WC in Qatar. Evidently, his friendship with FIFA president Gianni Infantino gained him entree to the pitch.
In light of Salt Bae's uncomfortable antics, FIFA are also facing questions as to how the celebrity chef even gained access to the pitch at the Lusail Stadium and managed to come in touching distance of the trophy.
Football's governing body have very strict rules surrounding the World Cup trophy, with a very specific list of those allowed to touch it on their website.

"Robust Testing" In UK Reschedules Fall Tour

To be continued - in 2022

Instead of departing Sept. 10, 2021, we're now looking at September 6th, 2023. There was commitment by enough FC77 members, but the travel testing procotols overseas were just a bridge too far for fall 2021. Read original trip details here.
The official updated Friendship Tour web page is here.

All Done

June 27, 2022. It's done. These are the final standings for the nine (!) teams of FC77. No team is in first or last place in their division. Ajax took the most points from each match.

For those who think web sites and even blogs are hopelessly old fashioned, your Club also has a FC77 Facebook page. Is Tik Tok next?
