Interesting game tonight... Inter at Lazio, with the Lazio fans actually cheering on Inter so that their (Lazio's) arch-rivals Roma don't get control of the Scudetto. Huge cheer at the end of the game as Inter take it 2-0 (and could've been a lot more without some heroics from the Lazio keeper).
Player I'd never noticed before named Zarate really impressed me- silky, silky smooth with the ball with some incredible moves. A little too much with the moves probably, but was able to carve through 1 and 2 Inter defenders with relative ease. :notebooked:

) pushed up on a corner kick since I'm one of the taller players on the team. The kick flew over the box (I was near side), was headed back in by one of our MF's, it hit the goalie but he wasn't able to control it and it popped right out to me at the 6 yard box. I left footed it towards the goal and the defender that was standing at the goal line decided it would be a good idea to lift his arm and block the goal. I didn't take the PK, but we made it to tie the game at 1-1. Redemption! Whew.......As the clock was winding down, you could tell that neither team wanted to end the game with a draw, especially with both goals scored by PK. The tackles were getting harder, the words were being thrown back and forth a little more often, it was a tough back and forth last few minutes. With about three minutes left to play, our center mid was able to get around two of their defenders, caught the goalie out a little to far, did a quick juke and tapped it into the corner of the net. The crowd of about 200 went NUTS! It was awesome! The last couple of minutes seemed like an hour as the ref added 4 minutes of stoppage time. We bunkered in and they weren't able to penetrate our defense as we kept clearing the ball until the final whistle. It was a great match and they are already looking for a rematch. We took a picture that is going to be submitted to the industry trade magazine with a short article so chances are a couple of other local competitors are going to call looking for a match. It was lots of fun although it was pretty hot and humid (as Miami tends to be this time of year). Luckily we had 8-10 subs that were able to come in and out pretty regularly so we didn't wear down. We did lose a little bit of momentum with the line changes but we were able to hold it together and take the win. Lot's of fun and I can't wait until the next match.
Cant wait
Best part of that video. :cringe: for the ball-boy.
