Comrades --

As with most things soccer-related, the schedule for Lazy Soccer is also dictated by fixture congestion; in this case, Arsenal's FA Cup match with Manchester United on Saturday, which several of our bunch are planning to watch. So how about a Sunday morning game on the Mall at 9:45? It'll help get all of our circadian rhythms adjusted to playing on Sundays, anyway, which we'll need when our actual organized lazy team makes its debut later this spring. The usual spot, by the National Museum of the American Indian.

Along those lines: Yes, the name of the team will be changed from the preliminary one that pays homage to Sasha's favorite Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/#!/arsenalgent). The current contenders are:

-- FC Perezoso

-- Olympique Paresseux

-- Dynamo Lenivyi

-- Inter Pigro

You may notice a common theme running through those options. Pick one of those, or nominate your own language in which we can easily pick a word for "lazy" and a soccer team name-sounding other word, and vote for how we should be represented in an organized manner. Also, a reminder -- the official Lazy Soccer team will begin play on Sundays in April near Dupont Circle, and we're still in the market for players.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I am currently injured so wont be able to play for the whole month of March. Hope to be back in April though. But the doc didn’t say anything about pancakes, so I would love to join for those and hear the latest about recent players traded, team statistics, the injury file etc. As for a name, how about FC Faul. Or Lokomotive Faulpelz. Or Turbine Träge. It all means lazy, and since I am too lazy to translate literally, here is a dictionary: http://dict.leo.org/

Hope to see you all soon. Has been far too long.

Thanks,

Alexander
