NYC Social's Very Own Soccer Hooligans

Looks like we should start selling tickets to our games!  Check out the cheering section for Tuesday's Indoor Soccer Championship match:

Might not quite be the crowd that would show up for a Real Madrid or Barca match, but it's close!  Pommes Frites (Orange) and The Thunder Down Under (Red) showed up early for their games to catch the end of the First Place game.  But they weren't just passing time before they could take the court.  The two teams held it down as honorary cheerleaders as the game was sent into overtime.
 
Doesn't matter if they knew who exactly they were rooting for as chants of "De-Fense" and "Off-Fense" broke out.  We just love seeing (and hearing... man were they loud!) NYC Social spirit!
And they weren't disappointed, either.  The game turned out to be a real nail biter, with both teams fighting hard until the end, when Socc Puppets (Daisy) eventually came away with the victory.

Controller Not Included

Some people like to spend their Tuesday nights inside, on the couch, munching on chips and playing video games.  Other people, like our Tuesday soccer teams, prefer to come out to the Chinatown YMCA and play like real-life video game characters.  High jumping, fast running, and hard kicking; these athletes sometimes get caught in unbelievable positions. 

Take this Thunder Down Under (Red)  player for example as she challenges Sonic the Hedgehog:

Or her goalkeeper teammate who seems to be re-enacting a battle from Street Fighter:

And these two from Bump and Rub (Royal) and Pommes Frites (Orange) are fighting for that header like they came straight out of FIFA 98 (ok full disclosure, I stopped playing video games once Super Nintendo went out of style, so that's the best I got):

I just hope seeing these players in action might inspire people to put down that controller and pick up your laptop to sign up for one of our leagues.  Come on, it's way more fun in real life after all.
