    Kups are in black with a yellow smiley face on their shirt. Freddy playing out right #11 jersey, orange boots. Camera guy going with the widest angle shot humanly possible, will make it tough to see but stream is good.

    Looks like 200 people in the far stands, but the Bonzai Ultras :) are actually making some decent noise.

    This tempo is making City-W Ham look compelling.

    Comes across to put pressure and nicely knocks it away from the defender, but into his forward that was in offsides position.

    Freddy wasted out on the wing, at this level of play I feel comfortable in thinking he would make much more of an impact playing centrally.

    He's got to be behind the striker to me.

    when he went central to pressure the ball he did more in one touch than the rest of this team has in 20 minutes

    EDIT: nasty tackle on Freddy, should've been a yellow at minimum

    Freddy isn't going to stretch the defense any time soon. He won't be making runs, just checking to and floating into the middle.

    Just saw the 1st of potentially many hands on the hips in a 'why didn't you pass it to me' type of way.

    And taken down from behind in a bad tackle. Rolled around a bit but is up limping.... this time he actually has a limp.

    sigh, internet connection not strong enough from where I am at now. (had no idea streams where available!)
    Comments on pbp much appreciated. I assume Freddys the only black guy so it should make it easier to identify him on a crappy stream....
    THANKS!

    27' - checks back to get the ball, turns with it, beats his man and the quick stripped of the ball. I'll chalk that one up to trying to make a play, but they closed him quickly and muscled off easily.

    actually 3 black dudes on the team, but he is the shortest by a landslide.

    Skillfull pass on the side, leads to another pass which leads to a dangerous shot on goal.

    33' nice ball movement by the kups, freddy with a nice one-two on the sideline that eventually turned into a nice shot for his teammate and even nicer save.

    well...Freddy gets hacked down, but he was trying a spin move that didn't come off. He rolled a bit on the ground, demanding a yellow, then walks it off.

    impossible to tell, hasn't seen the ball much. Very physical game/league, the talent seems to be ok, but lots of fouls and stop/starts.

    37' tries a back flick to overlapping fullback, probably didn't need to do that. Looked good but lost possession.
    38' off a throw in very nicely touch to create space but hits it a tad too hard. Was aggressive, i like.

    44' gets the ball in his usual spot (sitting in space), turns with the ball about 40 yards out and hits a very nice ball into the box.

    about what i expected, not dramatically bad. Some decent individual skill, couple really nice rips from distance, but not a ton of possession for either team.
