Valencia (Do or Die Time)

Well it has come, the much anticipated rematch between two of the top three teams in the LNFA 2010, here in Espana. I say two of the top three teams because last week, the Pioneers, whom we beat on our home field three weeks ago, utterly thrashed the Firebats 39-0 last week. However, our only loss remains to the Firebats who beat a rather inexperienced, under developed, and conservative Dracs team the first week of LNFA 2010, in Valencia, 14-6. While the game remains is more than likely to in tale all of the past times associtated between both squads, Dracs and Firebats, look for us to come out with a passion like no other. I am being 100% honest that we are far from the team that traveled to Valencia the first week of the season.

Now, with 3 games under our belts, sitting 2-1, with a game in hand because of the weather postponement of our Gijon game, we have a great opportunity to get a win against Valencia and solidify our spot as the best team in Spain, but more importantly build up momentum for a great rematch between Dracs and Pioneers in L'Hospitalet two weeks from now. While we are not over looking the Firebats, our focus still remains on becoming Spanish Champions, and then moving our efforts after the next Pioneers game to our EFL Euro Bowl Group Stage matches against the Vienna Vikings (Austria) and the Bolzano Giants (Italy).

For those of you who do not know what the Euro Bowl is, here is a quick summary. The European Football League EFL is the top tournament of european club teams on highest American Football level in Europe. The EFL Tournament is an annual invitational tournament for American Football teams representing EFAF member federations, which have obtained the title of Champion or Vice-champion either in EFAF member federations national, championships and/or recognised International competitions.The Eurobowl is the final game to determine the winner of the tournament.

But back to Valencia, in order for us to win we must come out with the same intensity that we did with Osos Madrid in our last game. We just have to come out and as an old coach of mine used to say, "hit'em in the jaw". We can not allow for their run game to get going, but more importantly I feel as long as we remain balanced on offense with a good combination of Nordi running the ball and our QB Sergi aka Tom Brady, also known as "Madden", gets the ball to all our wide outs, we will control possession but more importantly the game.

This week is a good week for us to really clamp down on our pass defense. I feel that in recent weeks we get very "lax" because we have been getting up big on opponents and give up easy catches. Not this week, this is crucial in our preparations for Pioneers as they have one of the premier passing attacks in all of Europe this season.

Well, it should be a great setting tonight in the BDN at 6pm or 1800 hours as yall out here in the EU go by. Look for us to come out with some fire and much enthusiasm as we look to keep on track for a Spanish and EFL Championship.
