Sabato scorso le ragazze dell'Ambrit hanno partecipato al torneo annuale organizzato dal Liceo St. Stephen's di Roma. È stato un ottimo allenamento in vista della Mediterranean Cup di Aprile, soprattutto perché era un confronto decisamente impegnativo, visto che a partecipare erano solo licei internazionali, quindi era possibile che ci fossero anche 6 anni di distanza tra le nostre e le altre ragazze. 6 anni di età, fisico, esperienza... beh, che dire? Le nostre ragazze, dopo il timore iniziale, si sono fatte valere e hanno strappato una vittoria e un pareggio su quattro partite disputate! Le uniche sconfitte sono arrivate contro la St. Stephen's, squadra di qualità ed esperienza, e contro le vincitrici del Marlvern College in Inghilterra.
Un grazie enorme ai nostri portieroni, Lucrezia e Anastasia, che hanno accettato di rimettersi in gioco e hanno compiuto interventi di grande importanza in tutte le partite.
Un grandissimo applauso alle nostre, piccole e grandi, che hanno combattuto con grinta (vincitrici per distacco in questo senso), con coraggio e con buona tecnica. In particolare hanno impressionato le "piccole" ma tostissime Giulia e Matilde, insieme alla "veterana" Raffaella.
PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Matilde.

Ambrit Primary team take Third Place out of 16 teams at St George's!
On saturday march 12th Ambrit grade 4 and 5 soccer team participated in the annual St georges tournament competing against 16 teams from various international schools of Rome. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the boys were all very excited and eager to play. The formation saw a flexible Goalie, Joel weil, who occasionally helped in the middle of the field; a strong defence with Elias El zabri, Claudio and Diego Lindeman and Gavyn Cianni holding the middle; an exceptional and steady mid field made up of alex Delve in the middle, daniel simunec and Michele di penta on the sides; and an always ready attack with alioune sarr, Riccardo di Fabio and Julian frazier.We started off with a tie and then followed with 5 consecutive wins. The Ambrit team made it to semifinals but unfortunately lost to New school. Our final game was against the german school to compete for third place. It was a tight game, infact to take the 3rd placement cup home we had to go through a very nervewracking shoot out. Finally the hard work paid off and the Ambrit team placed itself third amongst 16 teams, bringing home a cup and lots of joy. Great job boys! Well Done Miss Giulia!

Italy 3-2 Ireland
In today's 'practice match' for this summer's European Championship clash, Italy came out on top after a feisty performance.
The Italians' passing game was working and the early patterns that they weaved made an opening for Niccolo' to score the opening goal.
Earlier, Sasha had a good shot turned wide by Gabriele and then Giuseppe saved the Italians with a header off the line.
Italy started strongly again in the second half; Gabriele played a pass down the left to give Nathan the chance to make it 2-0. Niccolo' almost made it 3-0 a couple of minuets later; Andrew saved well but was helpless when Niccolo' shot again three minutes later to make it 3-0.
Ireland fought back though and Aden pulled a goal back when Giuseppe could only palm Zeno's shot weakly to the left. Andrew then made it 3-2 but the Irish ran out of time and Italy took the points.

Germany 2-2 Portugal
Finalmente un meritatissimo punto per il Portogallo, che sfiora l'impresa dopo essere andato in vantaggio e aver sbagliato addirittura un rigore nel finale di partita. La Germania, già qualificata per la finalissima del 5 maggio, si rilassa un pochino e viene salvata dal talento di Lucrezia, autrice oggi di una doppietta. In campo molte ragazze hanno mostrato determinazione e una crescita tecnica che fino a poche settimane fa sembrava solo una chimera: Celeste, Grace, Fatou, Saya e soprattutto Jean sono migliorate moltissimo e hanno offerto - insieme alle "solite note" - uno spettacolo godibilissimo.
Molte le assenze e le sostituzioni, che rendono difficile il giudizio della commissione Intramural...

England 4-0 Portugal
Un'Inghilterra moooolto rimaneggiata, sconfigge nettamente il Portogallo, ormai certamente fuori dai giochi, per quanto riguarda il torneo femminile di quest'anno e la possibile qualificazione per la finale. Margarida e compagne mandano invece un segnale forte e chiaro alla Germania: un 4-0 che non ammette molte repliche e qualificazione ottenuta.
Veniamo al match : la partita ha avuto un andamento piuttosto equilibrato, ma il Portogallo - abbastanza solido in difesa, come in altre occasioni - è stato carente in fase organizzativa e soprattutto conclusiva. L'Inghilterra invece ha sfruttato bene le doti di velocità e di tiro di Margarida e l'ottimo momento di forma di Matilde, onnipresente in ogni zona del campo.

Sweden 4-1 Italy
Italy, who until now had impressed with two good wins, were never in today's game and suffered a comprehensive defeat at the hands of a dominant Swedish team.
Giovanni set up his team very well and, early on, Manfredi was denied first by a post and then by Giuseppe in goal before he finally succeeded in breaking the deadlock.
Sam followed up with two well-taken goals before half time, putting himself ahead again in the Top Scorer competition. Italy kept trying but the Swedish back line of Giovanni, Ramnath and Tristan was cool, calculating and impregnable.
The addition of Lucrezia to the Italian team in the second half gave them a few more attacking options and possession was shared more equally, but it was Sweden who scored yet again when Manfredi's snapshot went in after a slight deflection. Giuseppe helped to keep the score down with good saves from Sam and Manfredi and Sam also saw a shot rebound of the bar.
Italy finally scored a consolation goal at the end through Niccolo'.

England 3-0 Portugal
Molto bello il match di oggi, combattuto e vivo a dispetto del punteggio così rotondo, che di sicuro non rende giustizia agli sforzi del Portogallo di rimanere in partita. All'inizio infatti il vantaggio delle Inglesi con Matilde, abile a battere il portiere con il piatto forte e preciso dopo la respinta su calcio d'angolo, aveva dato l'impressione di una partita a senso unico. Le Portoghesi invece, grintose e ben messe in campo, hanno reagito con veemenza sfiorando il gol con Mia, il cui tiro è rimbalzato violentemente sulla traversa. Nel secondo tempo ancora un lampo dell'imprendibile Margarida ha portato l'Inghilterra sul 2-0 e ancora una volta la sfortuna ha fatto il resto: la bella conclusione di Gaia si è stampata sul palo. Quasi in risposta al detto "gol mangiato, gol subìto" è arrivata la terza e ultima rete, dai piedi di Margarida, che con questa doppietta affianca Lucrezia in testa alla classifica marcatori. Ottime prove a centrocampo per Matilde e Allison, sempre solidissima Raffaella, ben supportata da Leila. Sul fronte portoghese bella prestazione di Gaia e di Fatou; superlativa la prova di Celeste, oggi onnipresente in tutte le zone del campo.

France 1-1 Ireland
Les Bleus dominated the first half but struggled to get shots on target. Francesco R finally made room from 20m out and blasted an accurate shot past Zeno. Francesco R then played Guerrino in with a beautiful pass but Guerrino, later to be sent off, missed the opportunity.
Ireland re-grouped at half-time and came back strongly. Sasha peppered Peter with shots from distance but the G6 keeper was equal to all of them. The Irish equaliser finally came from another long throw which turned into a goalmouth scramble: ideal conditions for Zehni junior to poke home a messy goal.
Final word for the girls who played today: Celeste, Matilde and Giulia; outstanding performances from all, especially Giulia.
