REGINA RIOT.....PLAYOFFS??

Tonight we (Regina Riot), had a playoff game against a team called the "Gunner's" in our indoor soccer league. We finished 13th out of 16 teams; not one of our best years. We actually kept up with most teams considering a huge portion of the time we only had one sub, and played against teams with 10. Seriously during some of those games I think my knees even had sweat coming from them, and of course my balls as well.....wait for it.....here comes the pic.

you people are sick!!!!

Anyway I did not expect us to do well, and as for winning forget it! Before the game I posted on Facebook that even though we are out matched, I will hold my head up high after the game because I know we will give everything we have. I am very proud of this team and the adversity we have faced all year.

"Fuck off Van Der Beek

So the game started out pretty normal, we played very well on defence and Scott was making crucial saves. The ball was deflected back to me at one point and I kicked a one timer from just in front of our crease. The ball went way up in the air directly at the net and made a little curve at the end over the keepers head and came down into their net.....yes.....I kid you not. I kind of just stood there after that. Funny part was I did the exact same thing not 50 seconds after that goal, but this time it went off the top of the net.

Eventually some dick who should not be in our division scored on a shot that Scott got a piece of, but hit off him, off the post and in....1-1 after the first half. The second half was a great contest. Both sides had plenty of chances and playing awesome defence. My leg got kicked in the first half and hurt like a bitch, but I got back on and fed some pretty nice passes and throw in's. Joey almost converted on one of my throws, but like the story all year it missed by a thread. With about 7 minutes left as I watched helplessly on the bench because of my fucking leg, they scored on a low, screened shot that once again Scott got a piece of.....game over....sigh. I would have loved to take them to a shoot-out where it's any ones game. So ends a great season. I can't wait until next year because this team is fun to play on, and I don't have to let up like in co-ed just in case I run into some girl and kill her.
