So here's what happened from my point of view on the grassy knoll near the book depository. I really wanted to play on the turf field but was told that we were playing on the grass and that was that and to shut up and stop whining. The grass was a bit frosty this morning and everyone was complaining of wet feet so magically we moved over to the turf field. Turns out that this was not what really happened at all ... the whole switcheroo was arranged by the Russians who deliberately frosted the field, as confirmed by a series of emails found on Hunter Biden's laptop that happened to be lying under a tree near the parking lot.
Captain Flicky was not at the helm today so Andy called out the starting line up and stayed true to the 3-5-2 format that had been working well for us all season. After about five minutes Oscar subbed in up front and about five minutes after this he tried to decapitate a chap with his elbow. An old vendetta had been settled but the ref was not amused and issued a straight red card. We were down to ten players for the rest of the match and Oscar had to go and sit on the naughty step.
The Internationals are a solid team with some decent midfielders and forwards but they kept getting caught in our offside trap. Now I don't want to keep going on about it but the turf field has lines on it and this makes for an even more effective offside trap .... but I won't labor the point. I noticed that every time they got caught they yelled at each other in a different language. Fortunately I have google translate and managed to catch some of their comments:
"I say old bean, we've been snookered once again by these tricky blighters!"
"Your daughter has the rump of a slow, old chicken!"
"You silly pumpkin, I was available for the passing of the balloon!"
We went into the half, tied at zero's. In the third half Walter found himself right up the sharp end of thee pitch and put us ahead with a tap in. They managed an equalizer near the death but I don't know much about it because I was on the bench nursing a sore leg. Tom explained exactly how we conceded the goal and basically said that it was all Rob's fault. LATE BREAKING NEWS ... apparently it was not Rob's fault and Tom is now saying that he should have taken the guy out by breaking one if not two of his legs and forced a PK that he would have saved with his cat like abilities. Overall I think that we played well and we are unbeaten this season.
Pat served chili that had a nice bit of zap to it and beers magically appeared for the washing down of said chili. BTW ... check out this goal from Lanzini .....
