Añejo FC

Play soccer. Eat tacos. Drink beer. Formed in 2014, Añejo FC is made up of former professional, semi-professional and college soccer players.

The mission of the club is to create the strongest over 30s amateur team in Southern California built on a foundation that gives equal weight to both the quality and character of the players invited to join. The club follows a strict no-dicks policy and places just as much importance on the dedication shown on the pitch as the dedication shown hanging out off the pitch as well.

We knew this could be a weird season given the winter World Cup, but it's clear that Europe's best/richest teams aren't as dominant right now. Why?

A great inaugural trip to the King Cup in Las Vegas this past weekend where the boys lifted the Cup after winning the Men's Over 35 Division.

After a tough day 1 saw them dominate play only to end the day without a win and 0-1-1 in group play frustrations began to take hold. The boys regrouped over a few beers, some food and a team-building night around the craps table to come out roaring with a 7-0 victory the next morning in the final group match.

The quarter-final match brought perhaps the toughest test of the weekend in a strong Arroyo team out of Houston, TX. The boys came out flying and Tai Doan soon had us up 1-0 after slotting home a fantastic ball over the top from Julian Santana. Añejo continued to press and the game was put of reach in the 2nd after Federico Bianchi dribbled the keeper to secure the W.

Redemption was at stake in the semifinal match vs Blue Dragons out of SoCal who gave Añejo their only L of the tourney in group play. A 2nd half PK from Rauk Palomares after a darting run from Byron Vince got us on the board and Tai Doan sealed victory shortly after with another great solo effort running through the opposing defense before slotting home. 2-0 and into the Final.

The Final matched us up against Hrazdan, also out of SoCal. A fantastic early goal put us up 1-0 as newcomer Byron Vince was again involved. His pressure at the halfway line gave him the steal and he raced onto goal before calmly slotting home near side. After a set-piece goal cancelled out the lead, Neal Yeung stole a clearance from the GK at just outside the box and put one away to restore the advantage at 2-1 heading into the break. The boys continued to press and forced the Hrazdan keeper into a number of close saves before Adam Piotrowski curled in a late freekick to make it 3-1.

Final stats: 4-1-1 over the 3 days with 17 goals for and 6 goals against, including 14 goals for and only 1 against across the final two days. Overall a great tournament for the squad and looking forward to defending the title in 2021.

Teams that drink together win together

A great effort from the boys this weekend, but we fell short in the knockout round with a 2-1 loss that was tough to swallow. After going down 1-0 in the first, we tied it up 1-1 early in the 2nd. A very harsh decision from the ref put us down a man and despite the hardwork of the guys on the field we went behind 2-1 while shorthanded. But we fought back and had a few great chances to tie it up at the end with a couple of shots off the post and a couple of other golden chances that we just couldn't put away. We thought we had another lifeline when the referee pointed to the spot and called a penalty at the end, but then changed his mind and just awarded a free kick instead. We still came close to scoring on the play, but it just wasn't in the cards on the day.

One of the top qualifiers after day 1 with 3 wins out of 3 and a +9 goal differential, but our run ended in the quarterfinals with today's 2-1 loss.

A great win for some of the Añejo FC boys in this past weekend's Goals Soccer Centers Halloween Cup.
