Posted: July 14, 2011 Filed under: 2011 Show-Me STATE GAMES Leave a comment »The soccer team “International” consists of a group of friends who have been playing together for over five years in both indoor and outdoor soccer leagues.
The team members chose the name “International” due to the diversity present on their team with players from the US, Mexico, Uruguay, Honduras, Venezuela, Italy, Nigeria, Jamaica and the Czech Republic.
Three years ago, the team played in the Show-Me STATE GAMES men’s over 30 soccer tournament, took first place and have been playing together in the GAMES ever since.
“We have enjoyed the competition of the Show-Me STATE GAMES every year and are hoping to take the gold medal this year,” said Rick Messner, player and organizer of the team.
Team “International” will be playing in the 2011 Show-Me STATE GAMES men’s over 30 soccer event during the final weekend of the GAMES, July 29-31.
