One of our first true crisp fall days had 10 PAX post for a game of Fútbol under the lights at the
church.
Team 1 PAX – Dance Off, Pennystock, Double Fault, Watergate, Pebbles
Team 2 PAX – Steel Toe, Olive Oil, The Don, Booster, Pinot
The match started off as a true back and forth battle with each team trading goals until halftime with the score all square at 7s. Team 2 pulled away in the second half to finish it off with a 15-10 win. Here were the top 6 moments of the match (first 4 stolen from a great Pebbles Twitter chat recap):
1. Yellow/red cards must me physically present to make a call. Otherwise, Pebbles would have had at least one yellow for giving booster the offensive lineman treatment and possibly twisting both of our knees.
2. Watergates black toe is only accurate 33.33% of the time while gold toe maintains 66.67%.
3. The standard grunt noise made whilst running toward a ball that is far out of reach means “I’m definitely not going to get there because of the bad pass, but I’m making a noise like I’m giving it all I’ve got to make you feel better about the bad pass.”
4. The aforementioned grunt cannot be performed by the one making the bad pass, nor by the other team.
5. Steel Toe not once, but twice, was able to purposefully (we think) make a perfect assist off of the crossbar.
6. Booster with a rather dominating double hat-trick performance from someone who likes to trash on soccer (even if at least one of his goals had a strong asterisks**). YHC is looking into installing VAR for the next match.
