TheGoodLifeFC! Bowery League Champions 2016!
Football is life! No statement could feel any more true after TheGoodLifeFC!’s epic finish as the undisputed champions of NYC’s Bowery Premier League for the second time! It was a contentious season that saw us lose some results that seemed inconceivable but in the end, pure skill and the indomitable feeling of family brought the cup back home! Check out the photos by Craig Wetherby and Marwan Shousher after the jump. TheGoodLifeFC! We Make it Nice!
Alex Austin, our defensive backbone, undeterred no matter how many red shirts surrounded him.
“Le Libero” had no problem moving the ball up the pitch as well.

And finished thrice including both tallys in the final game.

And taking zero shit from anyone!

TheGoodLife! FC x adidas Black Out Kits!
We couldn’t have asked for a better night to debut our sickest kits to date. With perfect weather and a formidable Know Wave FC decked in all white, TheGoodLife! FC took to the field in our new black on black adidas Black Out kits for game 5 of the adidas Fanatic Premier league. Featuring custom black reflective details by Avery Dennison including reflective number 1′s with our team leaf inlay and all black versions of our crest and eagle, TheGoodLife! FC was too menacing to be stopped. With dominating ball control and a pair of beautiful scores from Venezualan midfielder Stefano Fossa and Ugandan striker Charlesmatic, the team continued their unbeaten streak with a clean sheet for keeper Sam Griswald. Take a closer look at the TGLFC! Black Out kits in a beautiful set of photos by Paul Park after the jump. Gooooool!

Game over! 2-0. See you next week Miss Lily’s!
TheGoodLife! FC Returns to Fanatic Premier!
Spring is finally in the air in NYC and TheGoodLife! FC is back on the pitch! This week marked the beginning of the city’s top summer league, adidas’ Fanatic Premier and we were in top form as we took apart the formidable Alife Rivington Club FC 4-1. With a hat trick from star striker Juan Aguiar that included a beautiful back heel that took the life out of Alife as well as a goal from Emma Lovewell to seal the deal, it was the ideal start to the season. All the games were dedicated to our homie Bradley Carbone who started the league and is currently rehabbing from an off season injury. Fanatic Premier plays every Wednesday at Lions Gate Park in the Lower East Side. Come through and support! Peep some more flicks from opening night by Peter Pabon after the jump.
