Team Gold Week 2...Tie!

Sometimes a tie is a victory and last nights hard fought sister-kiss against Team Red was just that.
A moral and psychological victory.
Inside an Oakville Sport's Dome that was over 40 Celsius the Gold squad refused to lose and that my friends is what winners do.

Lead by our arch rivals (and friends) Rob and Ed, Team Red showed up with a full compliment of players, while our side was 5 players short! That's right, one goalie, 5 on the field and one sub for the whole game, while Rob and Ed somehow bribed/threatened their girls to show up on Thanksgiving Monday. Coach Marc and I don't roll that way.
It was crazy hot in the arena.Coach Ed was perspiring so much he looked like he'd just had a shower. In fact I had to caution the girls to stay away from him least they get contaminated with some Ed-Sweat. As alway Coach Rob was cool but shifty.

We came out early and took the lead on some fine goals and got outstanding net-minding from Rhianna who for some reason I kept calling Brianna.
In the second half Red tied the game, then took the lead and had us down by two goals with only minutes to play and oops Rhianna(not Brianna) pops one in, then the Gabster and Oh the game is Tied and it's over!
The crowd goes wild and Team Gold's undefeated season lives on.( Okay two games but it's something.)

Game Notes:
There was a controversial goal which I had to call back. Oh I forget to mention that I reffed the first half while the Sweat Monster Ed, called the second. It was the right call-live with it.

Coach Marc and I are the Scotty Bowman's of Girls U14/15 indoor soccer. I mean we only had 7 players and we tied Team Red. Good Lord talk about being out-coached.
