Aneel's game report of the semi-final

Aneel Bhusri, co-founder and president of Workday, attended the semi-final. Here is his game report:

Team Workday,

As most of you know, we have a company soccer team called Workdaze. This past Monday, I had the pleasure to watch our team play in the league semifinals in San Ramon. In a very competitive and intense game, the Workdaze team bested their opponents by a score of 6-2.

Some highlights of the victory:

*Joe “Thunderfoot” Korngiebel scored 3 of the 6 goals. 1 on a great pass from Thomas Schwarz, 2 unassisted. Joe played soccer in college, and could probably return to soccer if web services and SOA end up being fads.

*Workdaze player/coach Thomas “Jurgen Klinsmann” Schwarz had 2 assists and 1 goal. And in a demonstration of pure toughness, Thomas even blocked a shot with his face!

*Frank “Pele” Law dazzled the fans (and his opponents) with amazing ball handling and passing skills. Frank is really a pretty awesome player.

*Jon “The Enforcer” Ruggiero brought hockey to the soccer field. Turns out our resident OMS genius is a former hockey player and has a penchant for running opposing players into the wall. As you might guess, Jon plays defense and is very good.

*Exciting goals by Armin Taghinia and Attila Bukta and superb goal tending by Kevin Jarvis, the lone non-soccer player who was somehow talked into playing goalie.

And great play by everyone else, including Luiz De Oliviera, Salva Maiorano, Seamus Donahue (fresh off a flight from Ireland), Mark Jaynes and Tim Akramy.

Please join me in wishing good luck to the Workdaze team as they prepare for the league championship game tonight. The team email address is workdaze@workday.com.
