“We were donw 1-0 after a hard fought first half. We had trouble making simple plays while our opponent magically succeeded at everything. Our only hope was to whittle down the opponents to a manageable size. A few well timed fouls cut the opposing ranks in the first half.

The second half started with the Norse having 8 men. The blood of their mino and prized teammates was still glistening wet on the black armor of my team. The intimidation must have been hard to resist. They conceded, even though they had a 1-0 lead, the ball, and sure knowledge of victory......but at what cost?”
