SME Calendar

The calendar link is up and working.  September appears to be free and clear on Saturday mornings, but that is always subject to change, of course.

Tunde brought up the Pelada movie in a recent comment.  Unfortunately, Kansas City just had a screening a couple weeks ago, and it fell off my radar before I could pass the word.  I will keep my eyes and ears open for future screenings.  A couple of us saw it the first time it showed in KC and I would strongly urge everyone to see it if they have the chance.  The DVDs are now available from their website, so please check out the link at the bottom of this page if you are interested.

Labor Day match details

This is a reminder that we will be playing a special match on Labor Day, Monday, September 6 at 10am on the Shawnee Mission East field (75th & Mission). If the field is in use, our secondary choice is Porter Park (73rd & Roe), followed by Youngs Park (77th & Antioch) as our tertiary choice.

Hope you can make it!

School is back in session

As we start a new school year, we will surely run into conflicts with the Shawnee Mission East field.  This is a reminder that if the field is in use, we will move to Porter Park.  Here is a map from SME to Porter Park:

New feature - Help requested

Tom and I were talking recently about all of the different countries from which our players (past and present) have originated.  We came up with a pretty good list:

I am not yet sure what we will do with this information, but we definitely want to post it somewhere on the blog.  So my request is two-fold:

1st - Please offer any suggestions you may have as to how and / or where on the blog we should show this information.

and

2nd - Did we leave any countries off of the list?  Also, I can think of at least one player who claims two countries as his country of origin.  That is ok, too.

If you would prefer to not leave a comment on this post, please feel free to email me.

Saturday and Monday

In case you didn't get Wasim's email, the Saturday game at Shawnee Mission East has been moved to 11:30am so everyone can watch the World Cup matches at 9am and 1:30pm.

Also, please come to SME on Monday if you have the day off (or an excuse ready) for the Independence Day match.

See you on the pitch!
