Zune Team in Soccer Tournament - v2

Long time readers will remember how the Zune Team played in a football futbol soccer tournament last year. A quick backstory: Each year, folks from E&D (Entertainment and Devices, the division of which Zune is a part) global sales/marketing folks in from all over the world come to Redmond, to talk strategy across the entire lineup. To kick off the week, a group of folks play in the tournament.

As for how we did, we went 4-1, and we actually were a strong number 2 going into the finals. Anyways, that's why there were no posts on Monday. I hope everybody's having a great week!
