I didn't even carefully read Mark's email. We had a deal that he won't leak any information about this team before the actually game. This team was in Div 3 last season. They just made into Div2 for this upcoming one. One thing we have in common that, dragon also just made a step up. :-)We need some sort of serious challenge before we formally get ourselves into a more competitive environment. BTW, some of you guys may still remember: probably about 1 year ago, I setup a scrimmage game with an American team (their captain work for Nortel.) Both of us showed up but we were not able to play because of the bad weather. This team is in Div 1 right now. Their captain caught me on the hall way the other day and asked me if we like to play with them before the league starts. I told him that we are pretty hot in the soccer community right now and everybody wants to play with us. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Tom Zheng [mailto:tzheng@rsn.hp.com] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 11:20 AM To: Chen, Mark Cc: Dragon (E-mail); Tom Zheng Subject: Re: 2nd Scrimmage game vs UTD Saturday 6:00pm PRC A Div 2 team? Either Alex was on something or the team was in fact a Div12 team that Alex left out the #1:-) An outside chance is that Alex bribed the team to take easy on the old legs:-) To give Alex the credit, if the team is for real, I'd suggest to take the game light heartly and not to fight it too hard(they may not either). Take it as a chance to practise some running and to add endurance which will help when league games come. It's not a bad idea to have the LA team to play this game, as they should play together at least for once prior the tourney. Most of the teams they will play against at LA are more or less of a miniature of the higher div teams here(relatively lesser in the degree of strength and speed), this may sound abit of an overstatement, but not too far from the truth. I will stop the bluffing here:-) Tom On Thu, Aug 02, 2001 at 09:09:54PM -0500, Chen, Mark wrote: > Dragons, > > This Saturday we will have 2nd friendly game with young UTD team at > 6:00pm at PRC.
