St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser

IE FC Organized a fundraiser based on the popular theme of St. Patricks day. For everyone to be able to attend and enjoy the most out of it, we did it on Wednesday  March 18th rather than on actual St. Patricks  day (Tuesday March 17th).

All the students attended had a great time, sharing it over beers and bocadillos!, leaving nearly 8:00pm from the Serrano 99 yard.

We are looking forward to the next fundraisers and hope to see you all there. Pictures coming soon!!

IE FC Training with Coach Pablo

One of the last trainning session before the IE Football team goes to the Spring Fling Tournament in Barcelona. We hope the hard sessions will pay off, as the date nears, we feel more confident as a team rather than individuals on the field.

The coach has emphasized the importance of the physical part of the game, most importantly because we will have to play 3 games in a row one day, and every one of us, most be in the top physical level to carry the games on.

Similarly these trainning session will serve us over time, as we prepare for the MBAT in May.

Enjoy the pictures of our trainning!! Let's see what happens in Barcelona!

IE Football League Standings

Last weekend teams fought for a spot on the 4 upper places. Atletico Taladro keeps leadind the league and it could become the champion next weekend if it wins its match. However, if Atletico Taladro loses both of its matches and Wenger's Dream wins the last two games it could beat the leading team for the 1st place. At this point, the second place is up for grabs in the next two games, Wenger's Dreams and All Nations dispute their next games looking over each other shoulders to see who's gonna let go. We will soon find what happens.

The standings reflect the last point count, but Skeletor and Team Mexico are still pending the 3-point reduction penalty for failing to provide a referee two weeks ago.

A busy end of the week with pictures!

Hello all!

It was a busy end of the week for the football club. First we had our fundraiser Friday after classes which was a great success (we will post a blog soon about it). Then there was a catch-up game for the league on Friday afternoon where Mercosur played against Atletico Taladro. Saturday, the IE 11-a-side team had a tough 2.5 hours practice with Coach Pablo and his assistant where we worked mostly on the physical part of our game. We all got a nice suntan, or for some of us more like a sunburn, and I think most of us are still hurting from this intense physical session. Finally, Sunday was round 7 of the IE League where we had some interesting results, shaking up once again the table order... but more on that in a later blog. 

Here are a couple of pictures from this Sunday. Enjoy and feel free to comment!

IE League - Round 7

Here are the latest standings on the IE Football League

After weeks on top of the table,  Skeletor lost to Atletico Taladro, which gained control of the first place. Wenger's Dream and All Nations trail 3 and 2 point away respectively. However, it must be noted that Atletico Taladro is missing one game.

Similarly, it must be taken into consideration that Skeletor and Team Mexico might incur a 3 point penalty deduction for failing to provide a referee at last week games.

IE League Rules - Refresh

After a lot of questions and comments to referees and to the management team, we decided to remind the rules to the entire league. We have tried to cover as many situations as possible so please bare with us if some of the scenarios are missing. We will update the rules as we go if we encounter some situations that are not covered properly by the current rules.

Here is the link to the rules:  http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfbzrmtp_2g2xvjdc4

Just for your info, here are the hot topics that most people have questions about:

• kick off procedure (can we score from kick off for example?)
• point penalty for no show while on referee duty
• throw in procedure (yes, the referee should enforce proper throw ins!)

Ok girls and guys! Remember to have fun and play fair... at the end of the day, we are all on the same team!
