Finals Bound

For the 3rd straight season Workdaze captured the #2 seed in the 4-team tournament. Tension was in the air before the semi-final against D4. Workdaze was without a top striker in Ralf, and Seamus was hampered with 'jet-lag' (hungover) after a week in Ireland.

The pace was quick from the outset as D4 tried to impose their style of play. Workdaze was able to get on the board first when 'Roid Rage' Keeper was blue carded for a tackle on a breakaway and Joe scored on the resulting free-kick.

The game was closely contended until Armin blasted a beautiful tight-angled goal in the upper part of the net. Workdaze controlled the game from that point. 'We (D4) hold the ball for a few seconds, and they immediately have a guy dropping back on us' a Workdaze defender overheard 'Red Socks' Striker say to a teammate.

D4 was clearly frustrated and tired in the second half. Said Tony '25%' Striker in an on-field conversation with a Workdaze defender 'These (D4) guys suck'. To which the defender replied, 'But you've had some unlucky breaks'. 'No, they just suck' Tony stated.

Things got a little chippy at the very end, as 'Red Socks' Striker took out Jon in the Workdaze defensive zone. Frank immediately told Jon to stand down, which he did. However, Frank decided to get into it himself by calling 'Red' an a$$. That set off some argument as the final buzzer sounded.

Next up, the finals and Survey FC.

Workdaze (6:2) D4
