soccer report
Jan. 9th, 2004 12:16 amKim tells me at 10:20, "Don't you have a soccer game at 10:30?" Oh fuck. Run run run i'm late. The game is scoreless when i arrive; i watch one of our defenders save a shot at the open goal with his arm, and then the replacement goalie stop the penalty kick. Cool. Then one of our guys kicks an opponent hard, and instead of helping him up or even apologizing quickly, he just does the walk-away thing. The opponent spits, a boxing penalty, and it's clearly aimed at my teammate. Opponent claims he just ended up with turf crap in his mouth, but his spitting was well aimed and it's certainly no excuse... but the ref didn't box him. The game went downhill from there. Soon after that, the ball trickled into the corner for a goal. At that point, i came into the game and allowed no goals in the first half, although my bum ribs got crushed twice by rushing attackers. The game ended as a 6-4 victory for BRECIS over White Puke. They sure were a mouthy bunch, getting carded for dissing the ref and, in a few cases, playing like little bitches. They did have cause for complaint, as the game was rough and the ref was uneven and called things too loosely (i saw one of our guys lead with his shoulder twice and not get called, yet i got called for an inadvertent kick to a foot). WP played rough the last time we played them, too, but it wasn't this bad. I hope we don't have to face them next session. Still... winning makes things better.
