Game Overview
Grisha Rom. amazed everyone again when he ignored to pick two young bucks ( Nick and Ivan) and was busy selecting strong defensemen ( Lesha K. and Tim F. and Tito). Everybody thought that the case is hopeless for the WHITEs, and several people even commented that teams are totally uneven. Looking at previous statistics, we were just shaking our head in an anticipation.
During the game there were not a single moment of dominance by any one team. It was an even competitive game. Ivan was well supplied with passes on the right, but to no avail. Nick in frustration took a defensive position to coordinate the struggling teammates. But DARKs just could not get through the WHITE defenses. As a result 11:6 yesterday and 5:11 today.
| Grisha Rom. picked for WHITEs | Ruslan picked for DARKs | |||
| Cüneyt comes back I a big way – played 2 days in arrow – 8 goals in 2 games. 6:11 vs. 11:5 Big turnaround. | ||||
| Grisha picked successfully in all his captainships this season – this goes beyond the randomness of the game | After reviewing the team selection results, everyone was pretty sure to win on a DARKs team. They even generously donated Abdoul in trade for Mitia (both late) | |||
| Game of viscous sticky defense against a stardust offensive team | ||||
| Tim F. continues to be a golden star in defense. With Sergey K. on the goals and Dima N. working hard to block passes. | Ilya L. arrived a little later due to a foot raise, and was waiting almost an hour – he replaces Vlad U. and Gosha U. only at 10:50 | |||
| Arkasha B. and Alex F. are growing fast in agility and overall value on the field. “Strong and strong” emphasized Newton Pickup Times | ||||
