                                       Blood, Sweat and Beers TM

Welcome to the Official Website for Ouzo Indoor Soccer Club.

Formed in the winter of 2002, Ouzo F.C can be seen on Sunday's at Soccer City in Etobicoke. After starting in the 3rd division, Ouzo has since been promoted to the 2nd, then the 1st Division, which is where they play today.

Well known for their drinking abilities, Ouzo continue to prove that they are not only fierce competitors on the field, but a force upstairs at "Wingers Lounge" after the games. This is where the team really gains there advantage. With hours spent scouting their opposition, along with sampling Soccer City's finest Ale's, Ouzo has created a team that will live and die for the cause. The cause at this point is unknown, but that doesn't stop the lads from playing for each other every week.


Enjoy the site and make sure to check back for scores, standings, stats and news on the team.

Big Win for Ouzo vs SCL

Ouzo (8) vs SCL (3)

 

SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKE:  Ouzo FC remained undefeated after a rather lacklustre but ultimately comfortable 8-3 win over cellar dwellers  SCL.  The mood was jovial in the change room pregame with two unnamed players (Sac and Delaney) admitting to breaking the  ’12 Hour’ rule thanks to the discovery of an afterhours bar ( Jet Fuel?) and post volleyball tourney shenanigans respectively.   If only two Ouzonians actually admitted to late nights, the look and breath of others indicated that most of the lads had been training hard on the last part of the ‘blood, sweat and beers’ ethos.   Despite this  typical Ouzo overindulgence the team started strongly with two quick goals on tidy finishes by Anderson and the newly engaged Polymerus.   Rather than kill the game with a third, Ouzo preceded to concede three all too easy goals to go into the half trailing and in danger of dropping points to the as yet winless youngsters of SCL.  But Ouzo is not just about beers. 

A little blood, a little sweat, a half time team talk, and the fact that most of the booze and smoke had worked its way out of their systems, propelled Ouzo to a quick start to the second half with Rusnov equalling the score with a deft outside of the new Spence donated boot (why didn’t we have a raffle for them?)  finish .  Anderson then set up PK for a cracker of a goal (there was talk of it being an own goal but that seems harsh) followed by a rocket of a finish by Delaney.  Before SCL knew what hit them they had been Ouzanized and the game was essentially over but for seconds goals from Anderson and Polymerus and a clinical finish from Wurthman to wrap up the victory.  Post game at wingers, Sac rekindled his blossoming romance with Jane and at the same time won the Spence donated Adidas training top Raffle. 

In other news, plans for a Saturday Day/Night in Ouzoland Hockey tournament were postponed until the New Year as scheduling issues meant that Ouzo would have to play at Soccer City the following day.  It was decided that this would be detrimental to on field performance as Ouzo captain, Rob Anderson, made clear when he explained that ‘We have a problem, it is called Alcoholism’.   

Next up for Ouzo is Team Korea Sunday, November 30th at 10:45pm.

Ouzo Share the Points with a New Look Raging Bulls

Ouzo (2) vs Raging Bulls (2)
SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKEOuzo welcomed back midfielder Rob Anderson and defender Steve Delaney for there match against long time rivals Raging Bulls. In addition to new kits, the Bulls also added some new players from the ex 1st division side Mirage.
It was Ouzo who got on the scoreboard first with a nice bit of play that saw new boy Anthony Shaw set up defender Behn Wurthman for the fine finish. Still in the first half, Ouzo got their marking mixed up on several occasions. This led to 2 relatively easy opportunities for the Bulls which they had no problem finishing.
The first half ended with Ouzo down 2 goals to 1. A quick half time chat on the bench and Ouzo was ready to show the fans at SoccerCity that they are serious about winning the league this session.
The second half resumed with both teams coming out gangbusters. The match was quickly getter more physical as both teams were fighting to win every ball. This led to a 2 minute penalty for a player from each team. This was quickly followed by another penalty to the Bulls. Ouzo did not take long to take advantage of the numbers up situation. It was striker Anthony Shaw setting up his second of the night for Johnny Krilis who finished with a sweet left footed strike.
Down the stretch both sides had some very good opportunities to score but it was Ouzo who looked most likely to get the winner. Several fine counter attacks and quick passing sequences by Ouzo, created some great chances to take all 3 points. It was only the fine goalkeeping of the Bulls keeper Les that kept Ouzo from stealing the all the points at the end.
This will definitely make for an exciting return match in January 09.
After the match the Ouzo boys enjoyed some pitchers and wings upstairs at Wingers while they were entertained by Rob, Steve and Jessie's stories of fun in the sun.
