On r'fait l'match : Dream Team - Wonderbrains

Dream Team: 10 - Wonderbrains : 0
18 Avr 2008, 17h15, ESCAPE Arena

The derby, as it was named by the generous audience crowding the Escape Arena, was expected as the greatest show of the season. Indeed the atmosphere was electric for this game between the 2 mighty teams of girls of the league. Dream Team is a regular team of the league, and as evolved since its beginnings as a female team. Now a mixed one, the team is represented by 2 boys and 3 girls on the pitch.

Wonderbrains took a good start in the first half, surprising Dream Team which was not expecting it. The girls managed to get several opportunities, while bloking most of Dream Team's attacks. But after 10 minutes, the beloved white and blue team started
to be distraught by the attitude of the 2 pink boys who were packing the defence and thus, the game.

Overall the audience was disappointed by this game, the 2 Dream Team's boys locked the game, preventing both their players and Wonderbrains' ones to fever it up and to take initiatives. "I did not stay until the end", confided Wonderbrains' fan Geert, " as the game turned into a parody".

On r'fait l'match : The Techies - Wonderbrains

The Techies: 13 - Wonderbrains : 0
11 Avr 2008, 19h30, ESCAPE Arena

Though not the best technicians of the league, The Techies are a very strong team with imposing players. To be noted one of the player is a girl.

After an observation round between the 2 teams, the first goal surprised the girls when the Techies' forward overpassed in force his defender, and shooted a very powerful ball directly in the net. But the first half showed a very solidly organized Wonderbrains, neutralising the majority of the opponent passes. The first half of the game ends on an honourable 5 - 0 score board.
During the second half though, the physical challenge imposed by the techies was really difficult for the girls to cope with, but their commitment was a nice show to watch and saved them from a much severe score.

Furthermore, several player changes were conducted during in an inapropriate time, resulting directly in 3 goals taken by Wonderbrains. Later Cocoatch Aurélien confided us " I am very concerned with the player changes since the team was put in a difficult position [...], and the referee clearly indicated us she will not do anything to arrange it".

On r'fait l'match: Wonderbrains - Drempels

Wonderbrains : 0 - Drempels : 10
4 Avr 2008, 19h00, ESCAPE Arena

Drempels, the opponent for this 9th match of the league, is not exactly unknown for Wonderbrains. "As we know the others, we are very motivated to play this game !!" declared Wonderbrains' player Ana.

Obviously this feeling was shared among the team. During the 40 minutes of playing, none of the players left to the opponents a free centimeter square. Even on the side of the pitch, the substitutes were very supportive. This led to the better score board of the league so far : 10 - 0. Wonderbrains showed that, even if their technical skills are far lower than their opponent ones, nobody can use its mental an psychological ressources like them. " I am very proud of them, as a team and as football players" said main Sponsor Robin at the end of the game.

On r'fait l'match : Wonderbrains - Biertjes

Wonderbrains : 0 - Biertjes : 11
28 Mar 2008, 19h30, ESCAPE Arena

For this 8th match, Wonderbrains is opposed to Biertjes, though a competitive team, which has demonstrated irregular performances during the season. But this team can rely on some very good players, making this match an interesting one for Wonderbrains.

The girls started full of hope and wanting to score as they managed to do one week ago. The absence of one of the CoCoaches has to be underlined, the pressure supported by the shoulders of the second one is obvious in his behaviour on the side of the pitch. The stress is palpable and it makes him flinty, pushing the girls to defend in the best way they ever did. The substitutions are better organised preventing the WonderBrains to take the avoidable goals they took in the past.

At the end the offensive dream did not come to its end but this game was a lesson of defensive organisation, force and dedication resulting in the smallest goal difference since the beginning of the league for our beloved white and blue team!

On r'fait l'match : Guards - Wonderbrains

Guards : 15 - Wonderbrains : 1
14 Mar 2008, 18h00, ESCAPE Arena

Standing in the middle part of the temporary league ranking, Guards carries a reputation of tough team, with stayer players. This team comprises one girl.

This match was the inauguration game for Wonderbrains' new team positionning, leaving the standard 2-2 configuration for the less used 1-2-1 configuration. Both CoCoatches were founding important hopes on it. Of course, such a change cannot be implemented in only one game. "The girls need to work on it, and play more games to be able to master this novelty" judged football expert John K.

Indeed, a lot of goals have been taken by Wonderbrains. But one could notice the improvements in the player attitudes, being much more efficient in bloking Guards' attacks. Several times Guards' players were unable to overpass Wonderbrains' ones. Moreover, after several dangerous opportunities, Ariana finally found the way to the net. "I think we did well tonight and, above all, I am glad we confirmed last match goal average. It is a new period for Wonderbrains!" she declared.

On r'fait l'match : Maquelarres - Wonderbrains

Maquelarres : 14 - Wonderbrains : 2
7 Mar 2008, 19h30, ESCAPE Arena

Getting onto this match with the absence of several historical players and its co-coatches, Wonderbrains was foreseen to have one of the most difficult matches of this season against a rising team, with a strong backbone.

Despite every prognoses, Wonderbrains did incredibly well tonight. Pushed by a very supportive audience, the team limited the number of goals taken to reach the best level for the time being. More, they scored 2 goals ! Monica, and then Ariana shooted twice inside target, awarding the team efforts to build up an efficient game on the pitch!

Analysts and the public is now looking forward to the next match to know wether this was just only luck or the beginning of a new trend for Wonderbrains.

On r'fait l'match : Makossa - Wonderbrains

Makossa : 20 - Wonderbrains : 1
29 Fév 2008, 20h15, ESCAPE Arena

Feared as one of the best teams of the league, Makossa received Wonderbrains tonight, for a match where the only stake was to limit the progression of technical players.

Football analysts were not disclaimed as Wonderbrains goal keeper went for the ball in her net 20 times. Though the team discipline on the pitch was irregular and girls were sometimes overwhelmed. But they never gave up and, taking advantage of an instant of distraction from Makossa, Veronique surpised their goalkeeper and planted an all game long desired goal. Despite the score, girls will keep in mind that scoring is always an option, untill the very last second.

On r'fait l'match : Wonderbrains - .NL

Wonderbrains : 0 - .NL : 18
22 Fév 2008, 20h15, ESCAPE Arena

After 3 matches against title seeker teams, which makes one of the most difficult season startings, Wonderbrains was opposed to .NL, a more accessible team with an open style of play. "This match will offer a lot of opportunities to score from both parties." foretold Cocoatch Charles.

Unfortunatelly, the team was unable to concretise any of them, and the score is an harsh one. Clearly Wonderbrains lacked physic and team coordination to be able to take up the challenge imposed by .NL. Cocoatch Aurélien assessed "this match [was] the illustration of the way we need to accomplish to cope with the rest of the league"

15 Fév 2008, 19h30, Escape Arena

This 3rd game set up the end of the recruitment phase for the wonderbrains team. This game had a special taste since the opponent were our sympathetic colleages and faithful fans : Patxanga.
"The first elements of team positionning have been introduced to the players, and I really hope it will make a difference on the field" told us cocoatches before the game.

As response to them, the team were awarded with a nice goal from Patricia, gulling Patxanga's goal. Pointing out this premiere, every analysts agreed on the first visible improvements of the team.

On r'fait l'match : MadCows - Wonderbrains

MadCows: 18 / Wonderbrains : 0
8 Févr 2008, 17h15, Escape Arena

This second match was the occasion for the players to put in practice the first things learned during the previous game and the first training sessions. The team got support from new players to challenge a more experienced opponent than the previous one.
One could see the intact enthousiasm of the entire team though the players remained a bit lost on the pitch, having to cope with just discovered rules.

"They were gentlemen in a respectful way, they didn't play with their usual rough english style but still considering the WonderBrains as real opponents" was glad to underline FouCoach at the end of the game.

The improvements the girls did in 2 weeks are more than obvious, if they go on like this, the team might become a real challenger for this season...

On r'fait l'match : Late4Lunch - Wonderbrains

Late4lunch : 15 / Wonderbrains : 0
1 Fév 2008, 18h45, Escape Arena

First match of the newly created Wonderbrains team. Everyone was curious to see how the girls would perform against Late4lunch. Looking at the result, it is a nice surprize since without any football experience the girls standed during all the match.
"For this very first game, our goal was to give the team an introduction to indoor football, and to assess the players, in order to adapt the forthcoming training" say the newly appointed coatches.
