Div3: SuperNova FC 2, Kicks FC 2
We were one person down... they were two down. Advantage! Right? Maybe?
From the get go the officiating was horrible. They went up 1-0 on a call that should have been offsides. Not only that, we had a play later in the game that was *identical* that we scored on, but our offsides was called. Thanks, refs. Not to mention the plethora of awful out of bounds calls or non-calls.
I got a yellow for taking out a whiny girl in the 18 yard box. It led to a penalty kick that our goalie saved. Waaaaahhh. Ya know, I grow tired of these other teams who herp derp over every call on the field. You got your free kick, so shut up.
Basically, we dominated the whole game, but the finishing wasn't there. Both our goals were lucky as hell shots that snuck by on impossible angles. Which, it's about time we got some of those to go our way. We've been on the other end of those almost every game.
After getting my yellow card in the second half, I sat out the required two minutes and then came back in as a forward, rather than at defense. I am much more likely to take liberties on defense than I am on offense, so it was better that I pushed up and did positive things. Where did I play? Wing. What happened? Magic. I had about 5 or 6 magnificent crosses, with my left foot of all feet. One came right to a teammate that cranked it off the post. Others were just hairs away from being tipped in by others. I also took a free kick from, oh, 25-30 yards out. I bent it around the wall they set up, but it clanked it off the post. Inches away from a goal. The last play of the game was a corner kick that I took. I haven't took a corner that good in a long time, and our cluster of players just missed out on a last second go-ahead goal.
It was a good game overall. Of our 10 players that showed, 6 were regulars, 4 were subs. That's been the average ratio as of late. But it was a tie. I'm sick of ties. It's not losing, but it's not winning either. I need more wing time. People need to realize this.
