tactics before the game
KPMG as the sole shirt sponsor
from left to right upper line: Augusto, Klaus, Alessandro, Tim, Miguel, Frank, Cesar, Fritz, Bryan lower line: Martin, Greg, Marcelo, Domingo, Cristian, A-Wolf, Michael
Klaus is central defense
Tim
Cristian
I score with an "Abstauber". We lead 1:0 after 5 minutes.
with "Pike"
Domingo against their fastest player, the #4.
Michael
Fritz in a typical position
Klaus 5 seconds before this guy scores against us.
The entire team were students, i.e. 22 years old max. Most of them were so much faster than us.
1 second before #8 scores.
Marcelo
and the next score
Bryan
Augusto and Alessandro
got the ball from Tim (throw-in) and now on my way to the penalty box
the right is too late and I fooled the left guy with a nice razzle-dazzle. However, ...
I put the ball too far ahead of me and the goalie and I were at the ball at the same time. I fell over him (shoulder is still hurting 6 days later) and he had to leave the field for 30 minutes due to pain.
Augusto
Penalty for them. So unnecessary. 1:3 after 45 minutes.
Cesar
Frank
Alessandro and Domingo vs. #4
Martin, what kind of invitation is that? :-)
Klaus leads the defense much better after the 3. goal.
Miguel will get the ball. What a face.
Marcelo "The Swan"
Greg
10 seconds before the penalty for us. A-Wolf enters the penalty box.
Now through two guys who pinch him.
A-Wolf is hit in the face and despite the penalty kick he still tries to start a fight with one of the two guys. Yellow card for A-Wolf (which he does not notice while going postal).
Klaus decides that I should shoot the penalty. I decide it will be the right corner (goalie's view).
However, ...
The goalie moves to the right
I thought he would move back
but he doesn't. Shit.
Augusto already in the air, but the kick is still far away
The penalty we did not get. The line you see is the 5m box. The goalie came out and Tim tries to fool him by pushing the ball to the right instead of just controlling it.
So the goalie has no chance to get the ball and hits Tim's head. The referee doesn't recognize it. I yell!
A shot to the left corner of the goal. But 2m too high.
Domingo
A-Wolf flips out again. #8 is far too late and just hits A-Wolf's legs. A-Wolf: "You f***ing a**hole". So loud you could hear it in Tennessee.
Embarrassing moment. Domingo got booked with a red card and everybody waits for him to leave the field.
Greg.
Final score 1:4
Klaus and the python
Warsteiner after the game. Heaviest rain starts 10 minutes later - nice timing.
