Fiorentina 9 - LSD 11

Yeah, they wouldn't let me call the team "Bethlehem Steel" for a second go-around. Bastards, all of them bastards.

So, we call the team "Fiorentina," named for the Florentine team that folded in 2002, but was quickly reconstituted by fans. The team included, at various points, Roberto Baggio, Dunga and Rui Costa.

Anyhow, last night's game was against a team called LSD. Which leads to a question:

"What have you done, LSD?"

"Six months, I'm out on probation, but it's cool now, baby."

The game was close the entire time. There was one player who was a bit of a hot dog, he also enjoyed screaming at the referee (his fellow players too...). He often was the one that held the ball up front, but his unwillingness to pass the ball meant that they didn't score as much as they could have. I bumped one of their smaller players and I apologized, he said, "It's okay, I know you meant it..."

What the heck is that?

Apparently, he said some things to our other players too.

The game came down to the very end. LSD was up three goals with about eight minutes left. We were able to score two quick goals, and earned a penalty kick. I think we had everybody up. I engaged one of their players, the guy that was a show off, and ended up taking both of us down. This ended up freeing up the ball for one of our players. Shot after shot went wide, so we were unable to score. They got possession and scored one final goal 4 seconds before the end of the game.
