JJK-JIPPO 1-1 (1-0)

Great weather, good pitch and good game. JJK was our opponent on Saturday and game ended as a draw 1-1. Big game for me because we played against Ahi, who was one of my best team mates ever. Great guy...

We started quite good and first 20 minutes we were the better side. Ball movement was good and players looked fresh. We started the game like this:
Ikonen
Masa-Hane-Josa-Jonni
Skunk-Diego-Adama-Tinke
Victor-Mad Dog



We made a first substitute after 30 minutes when Adama came off and Jasu replaced him. That was Adamas test match and he left after the game back home. JJK made a first goal when 35 minutes were in the clock. Flipper ball went in and goal scorer was "Lada" Lahtinen. That was the first half.

We started second half as we ended the first. Our first goal scoring chance came in 52nd when we got a freekick about 20 meters from a goal. Jasu´s free kick was huge and it hitted a post and came back. I think the goal moved a little bit, so hard was Jasu´s kick. Absolutely fucking excellent free kick. Then Diego got his second yellow card very easily and rest of the game we played with 10 men. We made a goal after 58th minutes. Jonni crossed the ball in, JJK´s clearance was poor and Mad Dog shot the ball in. Great goal...

I came in when 20 minutes were still left. Mad Dog came off. It was nice to play and my game was quite good too. My goal was to get together with Ahi and I stole the ball from him once. Thanks for that, mate! Game ended 1-1... Man of the match: Hans Ekroos, great game from Hans. After the game we went out with Ahi and Mad Dog and had a great time in Jyväskylä...

Next game: Saturday against Warkaus JK...

First time

Hi everyone. Some wise guy has said a long time ago that there is a first time for everything. This is my first blog experience in my life. Some of you might wonder, why I write in English? Reason is very simple, how can I ever be a good English writer if I don´t never write in English. If somebody needs a translation what I write, please ask :)

I hopefully move to USA soon, so I wanted to share my trip with my friends. Before I leave there, I write my experiences how difficult is to leave in USA. Lots of paperwork and too much money. I hope that this is worth it. I think it is. If somebody is planning to go USA, I´m more than willing to help you.

Before leaving I would write about football. I play in Joensuu in a club called as JIPPO. We play in Finland's first division. Season is getting closer, only two preparation matches left. If you want more details about my club, please visit www.jippo.fi.

Next match is tomorrow against JJK in Jyväskylä. I can´t wait to fight with Ahi, who was my former teammate in JIPPO last season. Let´s see what happens...
