Neverlusen: The soccer team that wouldn't lose

Patrick and a group of his friends are basking in the glow of victory after the soccer team they put together won the championship of the Eastern Indoor Soccer League.

The merry band calling themselves "Bayern Neverlusen" just... never... lost. (The team name was a joke based on a German team called Bayern Leverkusen.)

"All the teams we played were sponsored club or travel teams, and had coaches," said Patrick (front left in the photo above). "We just paid the money and made our own team and jerseys and stuff. ... One of my friends who's hurt and can't play was technically like our coach.

"And we went undefeated and won the league."

Neverlusen won the league's tournament final 7-4, defeating a travel team headed by the assistant coach of Pat's Fordham Prep team.
