What a strange last week or so I've had.
At any rate, we had a game tonight. I shall keep this short and sweet.
We faced a familiar foe tonight, the Kosmos. We have played this team many a time, and the only win we've ever notched against them was in the outdoor final a year and a bit ago.
These guys always come out with good speed and they always mark us incredibly tightly. Our game takes time to get momentum from the back, so this disrupts us very much. They have good players all over the pitch, but we do too. Also, most of us aren't nearly as in shape as they are. Needless to say, we lost 3-0.
I did have some good moves though. One was a roulette away from a couple people, another was a neat little stepover turn. I also sombrero'd a guy, then got taken down in the penalty box after I had beaten everybody. I would assume that the ref forgot he had a whistle for that one, it was about as blatant as it gets. At one point, I recieved the ball in our own end, and they were marking us tightly. I felt the pressure, beat a man, then delivered a pass through some guy's legs. He didn't expect it at all, and I think he actually froze in shock when it happened.
These guys really took the game to us though. Even their girls used their arms like no other. The calls did not go our way, either, and often, the ref would forget to indicate which team the kick was to be taken by. I really need to start using my arms, I'm like a T-rex out there.

"Hey guys, how's it going?"At least I don't run like one.
