In a devastating third match of the season, the nine brave players of Mamio endured an 18 goal long session of humiliation.
Somehow, of the 13 people that were supposed to come, only nine showed up. So the lineup was creative:
Goal: Mauricio
Defense: Ahmad, Elmer, Johan, Peter
Midfield: Dumas, Giulio, Tano
Lonely forward: Juan
The first couple of minutes we already realized that this was a mission impossible. The opponents knew well how to handle the situation, and were always able to find the (at least) two free fellows. Our defense took a hammering, and within fifteen minutes the game was all but over. At the break it was 10-0.
Second half we decided to forget about the first one and start with a 'clean sheet'. This psychological tactic seemed to work out: we created a couple of nice strikes, two shots on the bar and one just past the goalkeeper - and the goal. But after that the referee decided 10-0 was not enough. Two clearly offside strikes were not cancelled, 12-0 was the score. Our last hope of some rehabilitation was over. All heads went down in disbelief, about our own performance, but also about the referee's strange commitment to punish us even more.
Some more goals went in, but nobody really cared anymore. A black day for Mamio, hardly any fun for Blauw Geel, that is leading of the league now.
We have one week off, so let's hope things will improve next week.
Welkom
