Harchester United

Wow..there was a tournament yesterday, the 2009 ASA MLS Cup. We ran across these photos.

Yes, we were quite impressed. Dewey of the WTSL has himself a Harchester United pitch. A couple of us here at the STSL are rabid fans of the famed Dragons of Harchester.

We have the urge to go and play at the Fabled Dragons Lair.

So look out Dewey....

Great job on the tournament also. And congrats to Mr. (have to call him that after Nationals) Cranston on the victory. And to all of the participants.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you!!!!!!!!

If you are traveling...please be safe. If you are cooking....please don't poison anyone.

World Table Soccer Added to Supplier List

Nothing but good things have been heard about this supplier and the Super Footy product. The Super Footy Classic Edition looks like the perfect set to start with. Personally I wish I would have found this set to start with several years ago.I completely grabbed this information off of their web site:

World Table Soccer was established in 2002 whilst based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Over the years, the company expanded to the point where we created the "SuperFooty" brand in 2006. SuperFooty is a quality version of the traditional type of table soccer that we all know and love. Our mix of traditional and modern style can be seen not only in the product itself but also in the outstanding packaging and branding. SuperFooty Table Soccer is the UK's largest manufacturer of the "Subbuteo" variety of Table Soccer

For North American customers, you can purchase SuperFooty from Mission Fun and Games, St Albert, Edmonton, Alberta or visit the online store at http://www.boardgames.ca/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=25740

World Table Soccer is proud to offer a large range of items from other manuafcturers and our collective wealth of product knowledge on both modern and vintage Subbuteo items is unrivalled. If you are seeking advice on playing, collecting, organising a league/tournament or indeed anything about the game, please feel free to contact us. We aim to make your Table Soccer experience a very memorable one as maintaining product quality and customer satisfaction is a high priority for us.

The Suncoast Phoenix

The legendary phoenix....the mythycal bird of the ancients that, along with its nest, burns to ashes..only to be reborn from the ashes. The new Phoenix is destined to live long and prosper.. cool, maybe so.

But tonight is the first edition of the new Suncoast Table Soccer League. What was going to start out as the first FREE BEER FREINDLY blossomed into something else, as a feast was prepared. With special thanks to Lina Fox and her mother Martica for preparing the Picada.

Mark and his wife Marcia made there way to Foxwood Fold to be introduced to Subbuteo, and to maybe get some interest in the fun little game on the Penisula side of the bay. The feast was the crown jewel, as friends broke bread around the table for laughs...and Shiner Bock and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...

Eyes turned to the pitch...but first we watched our friends at Worcester River Plate Severn play a match. This was to give Mark and Marcia a quick glance of Subbuteo....then it was game on... or more appropriately, teaching on. This was an evening full of instruction as Mark and Marcia never saw this fun little game before.

Several mini games were played...some ten minutes, and some until a goal was scored....

• Lina v Matt
• Mark v Matt

• Marcia v Matt



• Lina v Mark
• Lina v Matt (in house smack talk allowed and encouraged in this game)

As you see...no scores were kept as it really didn't matter. At the end of the day, everyone had a great time...Mark began to talk about playing in the future and building his own pitch. He took the bait, and I don't think we will need to set the hook.

The future holds some bright developments as Juanito has his new "Mexico" team waiting for him. Along with two others that have shown great interest. Also, after tonight Mark is going to introduce this game to his son at UCF...

The sky is the limit for the Suncoast Table Soccer League.

Something we can get behind...

Well...us here at the STSL have found a cause to get behind....

We have found that the playing of Subbuteo is fun for all...and so is free beer....so we have committed ourselves in the promotion of Subbuteo, soccer, good times and of course free beer. I feel this will be positive for all of the people that are involved...

From here on out there will be "Free Beer" Friendlies at Foxwood.... there are a couple of tournies in the works...but I think that the STSL will work on the Friendlies first in an effort to promote our fun little game...

2 Weeks Out

Quiet week....so I thought that I would post a Pic from the pitch...or one of interest.. (if you have any you may want posted send them to us...or I will just lift them from out there in cyber world.)

This is the U-10 Subbuteo player that lives in the house...The joy is what it is all about...(although she is looking for the completion of the Landycakes Table.)

One Week Out....

I went to Nationals this past year in Maryland. And let me tell you something....what a fantastic time. Finally I get to see and meet many of the players that have been read about. It was nice to put a face to a name.

So I thought that I would do some weekly updates on what is happening around the US Clubs...that way we can get to know what every one is doing without going to all of the web sites.. I have something else in mind, but since it is so empty up there it will take me some time to find it.

The first week out from Nationals saw the Washington Tuesday Subbuteo League play some friendlies between Dewey LaRochelle and John Camarano.

To quote Dewey "If either of us could shoot we could be dangerous!" Don't I know it... Three games were played with the scores...Dewey 0-2-0 John 0-0-0.

Then there was also the Alabama State Championship....


Here is a picture of the participants...( I didn't take the picture, if anyone if offended that I lifted it let me know).

Opening rounds:

Eddie 1 Brian 0

Lewis 1 Javi 0

Eddie 3 Javi 0

BRIAN 1 Lewis 0

Eddie 1 Lewis 1

Brian 1 Javi 0

3rd place game: Lewis 1 Javi 0

Final: Eddie 1 Brian 0

Sounds like it was a great day...and who doesn't like brisket?

Things are a changing....
