Last time I wrote a  post about the Office Depot Cup I remember that Sporta Punto Soccer, my team, was in the third place in the table of positions. We were actually playing very well in all of the soccer matches that we were having but when it was time to train a lot of people wouldn’t go to training and they would just go to the games when our coach called everyone up. But that changed, now if you don’t go one day you have to run 5 kilometers to catch up and not losing the form and fitness that you had. I know that this is a little bit of topic but this is something that helped us with our commitment to soccer and to play and train a better type of soccer.

Last week we had a soccer game against Cremas de Comunicaciones U-17 Youth Team for the Office Depot Cup. We were visiting their stadium so we were just wanting to get at least one point by drawing the match but we didn’t wanted to lose, even though we are already in the other stage of the tournament. Everybody knew it was going to be hard but we just had to play our way and we were going to win. We started losing but then we managed to catch up and comeback to get a 2 to 1 in our favor. It was a really though game and we managed to get more than we wanted, a win. We are now in second place in the table of positions and we have to stay there to have better opportunities in the next stage.

Here is the table of positions:

As you can see Achik, the third place so we have to keep winning all of our games to stay in the second place and try to get the first place. But if we make one mistake against the next teams that we are playing we may lose the second place.

Our next game is against AFF, which are in the last position in the table because Chinautla was kicked off the tournament because of one incident that they had in a soccer match. So we are playing against the last team in the table at home, in Sporta so we have to get the win and there is no other option.

Here are the results of the past games and the next games:

So we are hoping to get a good result against AFF and score a lot of goals as if there is a tie in the points, we have more goals so we get a better position. I will be keeping you updated on how this and the next soccer games go and if we are able to win the Office Depot Cup!
