OMG, where is that the 1950's newspaper alike MWCC website?

It is more like pre-2000 website but kudos to the MGMT to show a change.

Yes, this was wonderful news that we got today - Asif has been selected in the 14-man squad to tour Hong Kong for the Division 3 tournament (USA was in Div5 a year ago, they have been promoted up to Div3 right now with good performances in 2010.. if they do well in HK they have a chance to be promoted to Div2 and later in the year have a chance to qualify for the World Cup etc).

Congratulations to Asif - a very well-deserved honor. It should serve as an example to the rest of the league too IMHO - Asif made a full committment to try and make the next level this year (a committment which all our players should, but often dont, make :-) Asif captained Midwest in the CER in Detroit. He was named vc for the Western Conference in LA.. and despite having minor surgery that week, he still went and played (and did very well) there. He was chosen for the 18-man trial squad.. and flew to Florida and took part in the selection trials there. With all his committment and hard work (not to mention terrific performances), he completely deserved selection to the USA team. Iam sure he will do us proud in Hong Kong, and hopefully lead the USA to promotion!
