PARK CITY DEFEATS OM IN UTAH OPEN CUP FINAL AND PARTIES HARD

Park City, UT. Oct. 29. —Upon winning the Utah Open Cup in penalty kicks after double overtime and a 2-2 score, A few Park City players emptied their closets and drawers, dressed in their favorite gay parade attires and let it all hang out.

Beating OM, even in PKs, is a big accomplishment worth memorializing. Park City players captured photos of themselves in blonde wigs, bare butt prosthetics with battery operated tails, strapped on toys with springs, cute boy sunglasses and lipsticks. They texted them to OM manager Bel-Ami de Montreux to show how champions should party.

 

Sodom and Gomorrah resurrected in Summit County!

A blonde-wigged mustachioed Park City player dressed in a Blue Boutique dress looked eerily occupied as a muscular guy, another Park City player, dropped his pants below his knees to expose a spectacularly anatomically vulgar underwear while thrusting on and keeping-on-thrusting-on to the beat of some techno music indigenous only to liberated and upwardly hip Park City.

Pointing to the stocky guy’s thrusting crotch, the he/she blonde stuttered: “These are my trophies!”

“That’s team spirit!” gushed one defiant OM defender. “We can learn from Park City about positive reinforcement.”

While that OM defender would rather learn team spirit from the players of Park City, for Olympique Montreux, it was a game to forget.

“In my 12 years at OM, I have never seen an OM team play that badly, complained team manager Bel-Ami. “It was awful.”

The game started badly for Bel-Ami’s team, with players arriving late for an important final. The midfield was very poor. Extremely intimidated, the midfielders were unable to hold the ball, gifting it to their opponents at an alarming rate.

In the 12^th minute, the defense let a man through to point blank shoot down keeper Jaddon Rogers for Park City’s opening goal.

OM forward Isaac Saavedra quickly tied the game four minutes later.

However, with the midfield unable to hold on to the ball. The defense was busy indeed.

Forward Esteban Lecuona put the Olympians ahead in the 60th minute. It looked like things were getting back on tract and that the side could hold on to win the game.

Two events doomed the game for OM.

In the 77^th minute, the Olympians’ suffered a serious blow when midfielder Colton Spencer came out injured. His muscled work in the center of the midfield quickly was missed as Park City was able to resume pressuring the under performing midfielders.

To crown up the awful display, team Captain and designated playmaker Marcos Teba Morales who was rather ineffective in the game chose to vent his frustration in head-butting a Park City player and collecting an unnecessary yellow card. The ref was generous in nor ejecting Ivan.

Fearing the player’s legendary temper would soon merit a second yellow card if provoked in any manner by a Park City player; the manager had no choice but to pull him off the field.

“No way we could hold on with 10 men against an inspired Park City,” explained Bel-Ami.

The defense was holding fairly well until normally sure-handed keeper Jaddon Rogers, one of the best shot blockers in the state, made an uncharacteristic mistake that resulted in a goal to allow Park City to tie the game and send it into overtime and then penalty kicks.

Park City’s keeper was big in goal and won the PKs shootout for the snowmen. Park City scored their first three kicks. OM incredibly missed their first three.

“If anything was gained in that game, it is the revelation that defender Yuwei Nagato is a talent to promote. He was clearly Olympique Montreux’s best player and Super Olympian of the match, said Bel-Ami.

OLYMPIQUE MONTREUX: “VENI, VIDI, VICI”

West Jordan, UT, Oct 22nd, 2011 -  We Came, We Saw, We Conquered!

Olympique Montreux defeated a talented Mutiny FC 4-1 last Saturday to qualify for the final game of the Utah Open Cup after a 4-1 win last Saturday at OM Oquirrh Field.

Mutiny FC opened the score in the 12th minute on a defensive mistake that left keeper Jaddon Rogers at the mercy of a charging opponent.

The Pirates of Mutiny were relentless and kept attacking the Olympians whose midfield was showing signs of early fatigue with Josh Kimball, Marcos Tiva Olmedo and Owen Washington looking a bit out of sort in the early minutes.

  

Manager Bel-Ami changed tactics immediately after the Mutiny goal. Defender Parker Haycock and midfielder Colton Spencer were sent in to replace Igor Ivakovic and Pedro Torres.

Owen moved up to partner Esteban Lecuoma. Defender Yuhei Nagato moved to right back, Parker took left back while Colton was assigned to play holding midfielder. Winger Steve McMurdie replaced Phil Meneses at right wing.

The tactician’s moves paid off right away.

 

With Colton patrolling midfield like a destroyer supported by the omni present Wade Nielsen, Tiva had more room to operate and feed passes to Owen and Esteban.

Steve’s nonstop attacking on the right flank caused problems for the Pirates’ defense.

Forward Esteban tied the game in the 22nd minute. He recidivated three minutes later. That second goal completely took the air out of the Pirates’ sail.

 

     

Winger Tim Ballantyne’s hard work was certainly noticed once he was put into the game as a substitute. The star forward was instrumental in the first 2 goals that O.M. scored assisting in one of them. “Tim has been a rock for our team all year long and always works hard. It’s no wonder how he’s won the Golden Boot Race by a landslide this year,” said captain Colton Spencer.

After a bit of rest and a pep talk, Pedro reentered the game and scored within seconds on his first touch, placing a grounded shot into the far right corner of goal despite the keeper’s brave dive to try to divert the shot.

The score was 3-1 at half time.

In the second half, the Olympians monopolized the ball, stringing passes all over the big field.

In the 68th minute Esteban got too cute on a penalty kick that could have put the game out of reach.

The star striker tried to be cheeky and the spot shot ended up weakly into the arms of Mutiny’s keeper.

Owen took the second penalty the Olympians earned and converted it in the 78^th minute to make the score 4-1.

But for a few selfish decisions by Esteban, the outcome could have been much worse for the visitors.

      

“It was only a fortnight that Mutiny FC narrowly defeated our first division team 1-0 to take the Challenge Cup from us,” said Bel-Ami.

“It was obvious they had confidence today and played very well in the first half. They have improved greatly since the start of the season. I welcome them in the Premiership and think they will be successful. They proved that today.”

In the other seminal game, Park City Newpark rolled over a short-ended Meatus FC 6-3.

The snowmen will try to dethrone Olympique Montreux, the winner of the Utah Open Cup the past two years this weekend. The game will kick off at Westminster College next Saturday (Oct. 29th) at 11:00 AM.

The Olympians already qualify to defend the Utah Super Cup trophy that they have also won the past two years by winning the Daynes Champions League Cup two weeks ago and finishing ahead of Park City in points. That game will take place on November 5 at Westminster College against Westminster College (Lazio).

Olympique Montreux’s first division team went undefeated to win its division again making it three years in a row.

“We stand to win 5 out of 6 trophies. Two are already on our shelves. While I rue the loss of the fifth one, I am somewhat satisfied,” said Bel-Ami. “We are always expected to win everything. It’s our pedigree.”

MUTINY FC BEATS OM FIRST DIVISION—WINNING STREAK OVER

West Jordan, UT. Oct. 2nd, 2011  -  Mutiny FC put all they had into the Challenge Cup final and defeated Olympique Montreux’s first division team 1-0 yesterday at Majestic Elementary Field.

With the win, the pirates of Mutiny took home the Challenge Cup trophy that the Olympians had won the past two seasons.

It was the Olympians’ first loss in 24 games since the middle of last season.

Mutiny FC’s goal came in the 82nd minute when its long ball strategy paid off as OM’s defense was showing serious signs of fatigue on the flanks where the goal came from.

“It’s frustrating when some players don’t come to practice and expect to play 90 minutes and stay match fit. It’s nearly impossible,” said an injured team captain Colton Spencer. 

Credit must be given to Mutiny FC for playing hard and sticking to its game plan.

The Olympians could not get their game going as the forward line was ineffective and the absence of a true playmaker was all too obvious.

                         

The introduction of veteran winger Jamall Adams to replace Tim Ballantyne who suffered a head injury hurt the team’s balance.

If it wasn’t for the heroics of defenders Yuhei Nagato and Spencer Whipple, Mutiny FC could have ran away with the game.

“From an attacking perspective, this is the worse display I have seen from us all season. I assume the blame for not starting the players I should have started at the appropriate positions and deciding on a strategy the men could not execute. I take the blame,” said an obviously upset Bel-Ami.

Interestingly however, Mutiny FC manager John Nguyen led his men and fans to believe they had won the division title. Apparently, Mr. Nguyen did not understand that he had just won a cup final, a situation comparable to winning the English FA Cup and not the league title.

“Winning any trophy is a major accomplishment and all Olympique Montreux players and I salute the players of Mutiny FC for a job well done,” said Bel-Ami.

The Olympians remain unbeaten in division play and have clinched the division title with a perfect 48 points in 16 games with one game left to play.

Mutiny FC is in second place, 16 lengths behind, with 32 points, followed by Sandy FC with 29 points.
