The Mueller Report Is In – Referee and Linesman Show Signs of Collusion as Honey Badgers Play Best Game of Season Against Waterloo
After shipping in 16 goals the past two games, the Honey Badgers tightened things up and didn’t give up a single goal in open play to Waterloo in a fiercely contested 2-1 los yesterday afternoon. It was their best showing against a Premier team all season, and if it weren’t for a once in a lifetime call by the linesman, there could have been a point or three thrown up on the table.
There was damn near a full squad in the tent before the match, including a host of wagon pushing rug rats, a prime-time tv star, everyone’s favorite Joe, and a bald headed captain who defeated Montezuma only to be taken out by General Tso and his Pei Wei army at LAX airport.
The game started well for Cameron Road, with crisp passing, good defending, a 30 yard shot by Ciro, and a cheeky Big Dave back pass up the sideline. Waterloo weren’t enjoying the 80% possession that most Premier teams had been showing lately, which was a good sign for the Honey Badgers confidence.
Jay was buzzing off his line to make a few quality saves, and things were going pretty much as well as possible.
But then the linesman decided to call Jay for having his foot over the line on a punt…. What the Hell?? Has that ever been called in a game…. ever….. at any level? Doubtful, and Mueller’s report clearly shows his presence at the Trump Tower meeting with those Don Jr. and those dirty Russians. Waterloo converted on their spot kick, and the game took a bit of a nasty edge for the rest of the first half.
At the other end, Derek and Jake combined to almost pull one back as the Honey Badgers continued to stay in the game.
Down 1-0 at the half, Cameron Road endured some very dry oranges.
The second half picked up and Cameron Road continued their fight. After a rather unfortunate 2nd goal, the Honey Badgers went into comeback mode and got back in the game.
After some attacking play inside the Waterloo box, Gigi put Derek in front of goal with an awesome reverse pass. Sweet D absolutely buried that shit to give the Honey Badgers the lifeline they were looking for. After that, it was game on. Some other notable second half highlights included Jeff Z blowing up a Waterloo attacker with a shoulder charge, Peterson’s fantastic cross after a bombing run down the right, Jake’s running sideline commentary, Gigi’s shot “to da moon!” and the entire defense having to put up with Waterloo’s mouthy and elbowy #19.
Cameron Road didn’t lose this one, they just ran out of time.
Man-of-the-Match: When you score a goal in the Premier League, you get your props. Kudos to Derek for smashing home his chance after some great play between him and Gigi. Looks like he’s coming for that Golden Boot.
