Wuttke channels Lombardi: Train Wrecks rally for victory

"The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." Vince Lombardi said that. I'm not sure what Thomas said at halftime of yesterday's Train Wrecks 5-2 victory, but it must have been Lombardi-esque.


After a somewhat dismal first half, the 'Wrecks were down two goals to one. However in an inspired fathering at half-time the team rallied for a convincing and comfortable final score. Amy got things started in the second half from the spot. Then the flood gates opened. Gustavo provided a nice cross to Wendy to get on the board another time, and even Blair got in on the assist action, giving up a ball for Diego to latch on to and put in to the net.

For good measure, Robert finished things off with an exclamation point, perhaps at the behest great sideline encouragement from Pedro (suspended), Don, and Kevin. Or perhaps from the desire to set the stage for enjoying Oreste's after-game ceviche and Blair-hosted refreshments.

note: This coming week's Train Wreck indoor and outdoor games are not on their usual days. The outdoor team plays this Friday, and the indoor team on Saturday. Posts with details to follow soon.

No poll this week for moment of the match. When you're channeling Vince Lombardi, there are no other moments.

Comments? Leave 'em.

Thanks...it's feeling much better now. I think I pinched a nerve and then my back froze.

Any way, this post is really homage to you and Laura as you provided all the information.

Thanks. Glad it worked out.
