9:00 a.m. Rangers FC vs Fading Stars 11.16.08

Game Summary

• Rangers FC control play for the first 20 minutes as the FSFC work in another new lineup
• Ken controls the game early making the easy saves
• FSFC successfully run the trap 5 times suffocating the offense
• After another offsides call, the ball is quickly restarted and a high bounding ball is played deep to #19 down the right side who blindley flicks the ball over the sweeper and stopper to a wide open Kblische. Kblische corrals the ball at the 18 dribbles in and easily beats Opie
  
• FSFC 1 Rangers 0
• Halftime arrives and the FSFC have their first lead in 4 games
• 2nd half is more of the same, Rangers dribble, dribble dribble then hit weak shots sometimes at the goal
• Defense struggles to clear the ball multiple times and give up 4 straight corner kicks
• Fading Stars win a throw in at midfield- Awhite sends it down the line to Kblische- who beats his mark and heads down the field. The Rangers sweeper inexplicably calls for the trap 30 yards out and #19 and Jihad circle back leaving Kblische with a clear path to the goal. Kblische dribbles down the left side unabated and beats Opie far post FSFC 2 Rangers 0
• Fading Stars are content to defend and counter attack with the lead.
  
• #19 wins a throw deep down the right half- throws it back to Kblische who dribbles up and blasts a perfect cross to the back post where Bobby2 hits a textbook header straight down making it impossible for the keeper to save. FSFC 3 Rangers 0
• Final FSFC 3 Rangers FC 0

Knowing is half the battle and Awards:

• Clearly TOP is not an important stat to win
• Kblische playing with a stinky wrist brace resumes his chase for the Goldish Boot
• When marking on corner kicks- the defenders need to run with your mark not stand around with your thumb up your ass
• Berryman dribbles good for a fat guy

Goal of the Game: Kblische from #19- changed the game for good

Offensive MVP: Kblische- Welcome back Carter

Defensive MVP: Ken- 2nd clean sheet of the season

Quote of the Game: Romo- "This is the healthiest I have been since Cinco" #19damus "Great sounds like you are getting hurt today" Sure enough Romo tries to play defense and leaves the game with a softball on his ankle

Goat of the Game: Kblische- trying to throw the ball in with a broken arm is not a good plan

WTF of the Game: Jihad gets loose and lays the ball off to #19 at the top of the 18- instead of shooting #19 hears FnJ calling for the ball in the box- #19 plays the ball to a wideopen defender and no FnJ in sight. Shoot the ball you jackass
