A message from Alfie: I'd like to thank all you guys for showing up tonight!
It was a pleasure meeting Kai's and Lee's girlfriends respectively. Papa came back nice and ashy from Africa; Amos nice and red from his cross country tour; Yago and his new tales from the wonder-wild world of unemployment; Tesfa and his pecking at his food like a fawn near a stream in Bear Mountain. Tyrone (eyes nice and big) mumbling to himself, "Debe....stay debe (lamb dish)," before he punctures it with his fork; John with his freshly twisted locks and tie with sneakers (fresh liberal white man look, with a wild look in his eye for bloody revolution); Charles (new addition to the group) with a the look of bewilderment at John, guessing "hmmm....how does he get his hair likethat?"; Dan - constant gansta lean as he ploughs down the chicken dish, with Ben next to him....watching his wallet as he is sandwiched between Dan and Tyrone...And let's not forget Rahsaan......mama (wife) calls and he scampers like bambi!!!
I must say I had a great time! Thank you guys for your friendship,authenticity, sincerity, comradeship, and above all mutual love and respect.
PRESSURE UP!!!

but I think he can lead us to the Promise land. Don't you think so yago.
Alfie,
As C-Team co-captain I bid you a fond farewell, and wish that you enjoy the precious few moments before your American soccer playing career comes to a glorious end. It has been an honor sharing the pitch (hardwood) with you for the past 6 months. I think I speak for all the Soccermongrels when I say "thank you" for your leadership, enthusiasm, rallying, humor, and all the other intangibles that usually show up 20 minutes late on Sundays.
Good luck with your studies. I hope that the course load and your pursuit to learn the language over there does not interfere with soccer. Of course with emigration to a higher FIFA-ranked nation comes your own relegation to the D-Team. So when you lead those beleaguered British Soccermongrels, do not forget your roots. We will certainly be thinking of you. I even talked to the slow guy behind the counter at the Y about retiring your number.
Anyway, good luck over there. I know we'll all be in touch. And whenever you are back in town, pop over to the Y at noon (or 12:30) on Sunday.
PRESSURE UP!!!
Peace,
Amos
Bambi...I thought I was perro loco?! At any rate, you will be missed my friend. Be sure to pick up some new moves while you're across the pond. You better bring it when you get back or don't bring it at all. We are going to raise our level of play while you're gone. Pressure up!
Study hard my friend.
Cuidate,
Rahsaan
