Comments: Was played at December 7 of 2002, in a very hot saturday evening.

We had only 9 teams aside had 20 on the party, and with Luiz Magno playing his first official match.

Many big teams couldn't play, like Leo that have heath problems, and this make the championship easier to the novice teams.

Aside that the championship was really great and funny, with many beautiful goals and until "Drible da Vaca" happened. All medals was disputed like their own lifes.

For the first time we had a GAME SHOW aside a DATA SHOW, so all the matches was broadcasted to the TV 29", which was recorded in VHS to be made a promo tape in the future.

Beside the players, also went to the party:
Dani, Dudi, Hélio, Eliane, Rodrigo, Bruna, Marinho, Alexandre, Andréa, Laerte & Natália.

SWOS Divisions 2002


Campo de Batalha

We were divided in 3 groups of 3 with Bernardo, Freddy & Raphael been the Group's leaders as the ranking. When only 1 team of 9 will be off on the first page. Like Bernardo said: "Be eliminated is like you are in a big full stadium and a bird crocked at your head".

FIRST PHASE

GROUP A

Luiz Alexandre 0x1 Felipe
Felipe 0x4 Raphael
Luiz Alexandre x Felipe
Luiz Alexandre & Felipe open the SWOS CUP 2002. Both never played a SWOS CUP before, and because that the match was too nervous and Felipe like avenger try to beat Luiz that won the last confront between both, and won the Revelation's Medal of SWOS OPEN 2002. But this time Felipe played better and aside lose many goals, could score one and got his first won in an official Championship.
Felipe x Raphael
Felipe now already classified play with the group leader Raphael, that came from bad results on last tournaments, almost be relegated to the second division. The match started nervous and hard, and take too long to Raphael score the first goal on the end of the first half. On the second half Raphael trying to not dissappoint again and Felipe too nervous with the bad score made the things easier to Raphael that scored more 3 without problems.

Raphael 2x0 Luiz Alexandre
Raphael x Luiz Alexandre
Raphael happy with his last score now stay calm against Luiz that were in a difficult situation in the group.

Luiz Alexandre need at least a draw to garantee his place on the second phase, but Raphael don't leave any chance to Luiz aside the small score. Luiz know how to defend yourself and receive the less goals as possible, something really important that could decide who will be out on the second phase.

I think the pressure taked Junior a lot nervous, and his team can't do anything right, and receive one goal after other, and his only goal was a own goal by Freddy from the middlefield, an incredible headshot! Junior now was almost out of the championship, and start pray for John lose on group C for a big score, since Luiz Alexandre was already classified.

SECOND PHASE

QUARTER OF FINAL

Raphael 2x0 John
Freddy 6x0 Luiz Alexandre
Raphael x John
John celebrate his first time in a quarter of final and played well against the good Raphael's team that came from a great first phase. Match was nervouse and closed, and both had many chances to score, but was Raphael that made 1x0. John tried a lot score to draw the game away, but Raphael scored again, living the thing to John more difficult on the second game at his home.

Freddy don't gave any chance to Luiz Alexandre, that aside the big score played well and reach many times with dangerous to the Freddy's goal. We had many beautiful goals here celebrated for the crowd.
Luiz Magno 1x2 Bernardo
Daniel 1x0 Felipe
Luiz Magno x Bernardo
Luiz Magno play against Bernardo again, and this time in a elimination phase. Was a hard and disputed match, and Luiz Magno don't had fear and tried to win.
Daniel x Felipe
Two novices playing aganst other in a Quarters means that one novice will be already on the semi-finals. This turns the match more nervous and important than ever, making both played so bad because they were too much nervous. Both lose many chances, but Daniel scored on the end of the first half. After that both still losing many good chances and nothing was made aside that. So Daniel is one goal more close to the Semi-Finals.
John 0x2 Raphael
Luiz Alexandre 0x3 Freddy
John x Raphael
John now need to win for 3x0 or 2x0 to lead the match to penalties shots, something that aside is difficult, isn't impossible. John until start decided to win but Raphael score in the first minutes. With that John almost quit, and the match comes to be boring with Raphael saving his best players to the next round, while John can't do a good play to try to score. Raphael not had problems to scored again and put an end on the John's dream. Raphael is back on the semi-finals after 2 years away with bad results, while John aside out, was very satified with his result.
Luiz Alexandre x Freddy
Luiz start trying to do a good match aside be out of the semi-finals. Freddy use almost his substitutes players to save his cracks for a injury or suspension. Aside that Freddy don't had problems to win again doing more 3 great goals putting Luiz on way to home earlier.

Bernardo 0x0 Luiz Magno
Felipe 0x0 Daniel
Bernardo x Luiz Magno
Luiz Magno came to all or nothing tring to win for one goal to lead the match to penalty shot and Bernardo was surprised by the novice team that strikes many times with many danger to Bernardo's goal, making his defense work a lot. Bernardo aside that domined the game but can't pass across the Luiz defense too to score and garantee his place on the semi-finals. So this make the match also nervous and dangerous to both sides until the end. Bernardo with the result is again on the semi-finals but without Sirilo that was injuried, and Luiz is out but had hopes to play on the Revelation Match.
Felipe x Daniel
Felipe playing at home need to go to strike against Daniel anyway, that only a draw will lead Daniel to the next round. Felipe played better again, aside the dangerous counter-strikes by Daniel. Felipe lose again many clear chances to score and can't score again until the end. With that Felipe was out with only one goal in the championship. Daniel got a place on the semi-finals and will play against Luiz Magno the Revelation Game.


Believe or not, until this point no one had received a single card,
somthing that never happened before in a official championship like the SWOS CUP.

SEMI FINALS

Raphael 2x0 Daniel
Bernardo 2x1 Freddy

Raphael had lucky and played against Daniel, that aside learned fast since 2001 when his started to play SWOS, wasn't a someone to have fear.
