INTER'S WORST LOSS IN ONE YEAR

Many things went wrong today and Inter United suffered its worst loss in over a year.
Some of those things are part of the game, like injuries and red cards but some others are within our control and we can work together to correct them.
1. The worst is the fact that after so many warnings and e mails there are still players that are showing up to the field without Inter United's uniform. Yesterday's game, even if we had scored 10 goals, would have been given to the other team since they had protested on the grounds that not all our shorts were the same!!!!!!!!! Once again, the shorts have to be completely black and players who have been with us since the 2004-2005 season have the shorts we used in that season. Players who don't have it could buy one from Alvaro or easily buy one at Target for less than $7. If we don't comply with this, no matter how we fix the other problems we will always loose the points because those are the rules we all agreed on.
2. Players are still showing up late to games, probably watching the World Cup which is understandable given we all love soccer but we have to consider that it is not respectful with teammates who have to start the game shorthanded.
3. Yesterday showed that we DO need more players. The reasons for not expanding our roster up until now was the fear of someday having everyone show up and eventually not being able to let everyone play, which is not fair in a team were every player has to pay to be a part of the team. However, it is clear that we don't have enough players that show up regularly in order to have a complete roster. We will try to make new recruitments in time for next week's game but anyone who joins Inter United will have to first meet all the requirements that current players have met in terms of payments to the team. Sadly in the past we have had very good players, always willing to come to every game but not doing their part to contibute to team finances and we are not willing to go back to that.
4. We have finally found a time in the week were we can practice (Tuesday's 7:00 PM at St Louis Park) Lets try to take advantage of this to improve our game.
Finally, we would again ask every player to give the team a notice in case you are not able to come to a game since at least we can do some advance planning and not have to wait for game time to know which players we can count on.
GO INTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
