Last night we had the luxury of 3 subs and everybody being on time. The only one missing was Kevin Roberts. He is still missing in action and nobody knows what happened to him until now. Maybe we just forgot to carry him to the game and he is still waiting somewhere in the office to get picked up.
Best player of the game was Ralf, the 'invincible German wall'. There is no doubt that he played the best goalie we saw in this league so far. He had at least 5 or more saves that would have been goals with any other goalie. And he sacrificed himself by playing with an injured leg and having a sick kid and a sick cat (!!!) at home. That is team spirit!
Best field player of the game was Frank for me. I was a bit worried not having Joe, the 'whirlwind' in the team yesterday, but Frank replaced him well dribbling like crazy to keep 1,2 sometimes 3 players of the other team busy. And the ref likes him...
Best excuse for not coming to the game: Joe "have to attend a baptism class", and I thought soccer is our religion.
Worst preparation for the game: Armin for buying that beer that nobody can open without a real bottle opener. We had at least 4 broken bottles trying to open them 'our usual way'. That reminds me: any bottle opener donations are more than welcome.
This time, we had a lot of luck on the ref calls. Usually, we get the bad calls. But this time it was really the other way around. We haven't figured out yet, why the ref favored us. So, here are some of theories about that:
a) the ref just hates the other team more than us
b) the ref is in love with Frank
c) Joe was not there to piss off the ref
