Hollywood Christmas Party

Pictures from our year-end Hollywood Soccer party here. For those of you who don't know, I play on a regular basis in the LA Korean area soccer league. The league consists of about a dozen clubs, with each club having individual teams for the different age divisions (50 years and over, 40 years+, 30 years+, open division). There are about six tournaments a year with about 40 teams playing across the four different age divisions.
This year was not a great year, but not a bad year for Hollywood Soccer. In each tournament this year, one of our Hollywood teams (we have one of 20-somethings and one of 30-somethings) would reach the finals of the open division championship, but would lose to the same team each time (Orange County). The Orange team had a lot of talent due to two of last year's stronger teams (Orange and South Bay) combining into one team. Our younger team, however, was able to win the final tournament of the year, and our 30-and over team had one two of our division championships (our 30-and over team splits time between the open and 30-over divisions).
The highlight of the year was perhaps an intra-club tournament we had where our team divided into three teams...one Argentina-Koreans, one Brazilian-Koreans, and one team of everybody else. It was a very competitive tournament, with Argentina winning the league due to garbage goals and refereeing and a total meltdown by our Rest-of-World team in the final game.
