Zünch and the Art of Füzball

"D'oh! You've been Gomez'd!"

I'm hearing that more often these days. Generally, it's right after I've just made a tricky angle shot with the five man, caught a ball on the rebound and slammed it in for a goal or stuffed the defender when he tries to make a shot. Yeah, baby!!

Early on, when I first started at Zunch, I was pretty pathetic. I was leaving huge holes, regardless if I was playing offense or defense. I was game and slowly learned to play better. Game after game. Day after day.

It's been eight months since I joined Zunch. My defense still sucks, but not as much. My offense is a lot better and I've become a lot better at anticipating shots and blocking them. Quite frequently, stuffing the shot into the goal.

Some of the guys are really, really good. Scoring on them is almost as hard as defending against them. The shots they make are incredibly hard to predict, much less block. It makes the rare times when I beat them that much sweeter.

Ok. time to go. The füz table calls.
