The greek soccer team
Apollon, our soccer team, started some time during the Stanford prehistoric era.
Ever since, it participates regularly in the Stanford soccer tournaments:
- Intramural Soccer 1998-1999. We ranked first in the group having achieved wins with all competing teams. The typical game started with hangover from the previous night's party, and the score was 2-0 against us, before we were able to kick the ball. We reached the semifinals, but an illegitimate team together with an infamous referee stopped this magnificent ascent to glory.
- Intramural Soccer 1999-2000. We ranked second in the group, losing only from the Mathematics dream-team. We reached the final-eight, but nervousness combined with greek stubbornness (against the referee's decisions) prevented us from winning.
- Stanford Soccer World Cup 2000-2001. OK, it was not the referee's fault this time. We played in a knock-out game against Argentina, which had an excellent team. They actualy won the cup.
- Intramural Soccer 2001-2002. Coming soon.
