Yep, regular season ended in a tie, which doesn't please me at all. I'll say it again, we're all adults, we can handle winning and losing. I need a goddamn result. None of this tie crap, I need to know if we're better than you or not. Also in a more real sense we needed a win to gain entrance into the winners bracket, but a las.
All in all B8 (or what was left of us) played very well. Playing so short handed we not only didn't have subs but had to recruit a replacement player I think a tie is more than we could have hoped for, especially given the early 2-0 deficit we faced.
Using good ball movement and stalling/slow down tactics due to exhaustion we plugged our way along to net a 3-3 draw. Scoring was led by Super Sub replacement player Kate, who coincidentally is awarded the game ball for this week. Though there were many chances, the scoring opps were routinely stopped by the other teams keeper, including a save on a penalty kick against Mazz. Just our luck that the one week we're short handed we face a team with an actual goalie and not some shmuck who got stuck back there because he can't play anywhere else.
Depsite missing out on the real playoffs, B8 will now take their talents to the losers bracket (yea its B league soccer, everyone gets a playoff game, its like Tee Ball in that regard) where presumably we'll run through all remaining teams in preparation for next session. Nothing short of complete domination will be accepted.
See you all next week...Ross send out a damn team e-mail.
