I ended up with a fan club cheering from the sidelines last night.
This never happens, not least because I'm not what you would call a good player. I can get in people's way, I can occasionally kick to the right team, but mostly I just run up and down trying to stay near the opposition player to prevent them getting the ball.
The sad thing is that I didn't realise that they were barracking for me until after the game (new t-shirts, I'd forgotten what number I have).
The game itself was... odd. At the end of the first half we were 5-0 down.
The second half we came out on fire, and started clawing our way back into the game. Steve scored. UKChris scored. I failed to score but Marcus got the rebound and scored.
We ended up drawing 6-6, which was fairly impressive. We came within a cm of winning (sooner or later I will miss that crossbar and get the ball in the goal).
I have no idea why we were so ordinary in the first half though, we just didn't pull it together at all.
And that was
epideme's last game before he heads back to the UK. Thanks for keeping, come back and play again soon!
And I'm really, really glad we didn't lose it 5-0!
