Ever play Calhoun Colts, Arsenal Rome, or Anniston Storm (AL)? I know my teams have played several AFC gold level teams.

I honestly can’t remember. We always played in the Sun Bowl in Tampa and the Dallas Cup. Those are the two big tournaments we played in every year.

As long as they maintain that ridiculously high quality of talent, I’m good. Oh, they play futbal too?

kleptocratic young democracy

I no there is huge issue with the gap between the rich and the poor but are they really that bad?

Does anyone have a phone number?

Greece was behind for the Olympics, too. I think they’ll pull it off.

This does not forebode well for Brazil.

No idea why but I hate this post.

Because it takes 800 words to say almost nothing while regurgitating wikipedia facts?

@Husker….wow small world! I bet Steve was intense in training, I never saw him run a session. Coached against him a couple times but it may have been after your time. Tied him once 1-1 and he beat me once 1-2 to win classic II with a playup team. Skilled teams. Played the right way.

Ever play Calhoun Colts, Arsenal Rome, or Anniston Storm (AL)? I know my teams have played several AFC gold level teams.

I coached in AL from 94 -99, GA from 99-01, Mizzou 01-05, and back in both AL & GA from 05 to present. Lifer. Can’t quit.

Are you involved with the game at all anymore?

@Husker….may I ask what years you were there? Did you play on the top teams in your age group?

We moved down in 1996 and I played on the Gold team for 4 years if I remember correctly. I stopped playing Lighting ball in 2000.

that Steve (the one-time DOC there) was instrumental in shaping the youth academy program model in the state for developmental/transitional players.

Steve was my club coach before he took over the development side after my time.

2 things I always respected about AFC were (1) that they would almost always play their top teams up an age in tourneys and sometimes leagues and (2) that Steve (the one-time DOC there) was instrumental in shaping the youth academy program model in the state for developmental/transitional players.

I had another one-time DOC Bob Moulin from Man U for a couple coaching licenses. He was a fun guy to talk to.

AFC Lighting! Home of Ricardo Clark!

He was on the ’82 Gold team when I was on the ’83 team. We would scrimmage them often. Fun team to play.

Coolest coach I met this year was from there. Had to play at McCurry and Lovejoy several times this season.

Southside Atlanta club soccer has had it’s issues lately, but I mos def have much respect for AFC’s history.
