1-1 vs Mean Eyed Cat: Badgers Give Mean Eyed Kitty Cat Scratch Fever in 1-1 Draw!

Well, well, well gentlemen, that was one summer scorcher for the books. The Badgers faced up against the Mean Eyed Kitty Cats at noon for a brain melter. Badger Town was looking robust with a couple tents (canopies Conor) and with a few late arrivals fielded a 15 man squad…pretty impressive for summer attendance.  Mean Eyed Kitty’s had their young guns still enjoying their summer soccer camp.

The action started of in CRU favor with Andy getting into it early with a break away and shot on goal…we were playing well, defending as a team to repel the kitty scratch attacks..

Nolan made a crucial save off a header attempt from close range (foreshadowing) 

Then, a ball is played to Scotty on the left wing..he turns, finds Andy making a run through the middle sends a great ball to our English dynamo who calmly turns his defender and slots one into the lower corner…GOAL!! 1-0.

Que “THE DRAMA”…shortly after our goal a moment happened that well…happened.
 
Danimal, while trying to stop a shot from one of the kitties, arm may have touched the ball as they shot it. PROXIMITY VERY CLOSE.
PK.

The little angry kitty cats get their tying goal thanks to Alex the ref….who was actually a really good ref. Things then proceeded to heat up a bit in the smoldering summer sun tempers were flaring like sunspots that fuck up Lukes wifi…iykyk.

At the end of the first half DRAMA corner kick not taken, words were said…may have had something to do with the young bucks on the other team complexions……oranges, halftime, shade.

2nd half…
Matt decided to apologize for his comments to the youngsters. The game was tight Mike the Racist, Ciro, and Matt all did a hell of a job in the middle of the pitch orchestrating the chaos. Nolan had another point blank cross to header to block that was EXQUISITE. Who then proceeded to tell the other teams youngsters “not to listen to his dad (Danimal)…they hit the post…almost scored a few times as the Badgers weathered the storm.

Game is winding down with CRU under pressure from the grumpy cats…shots were flying corners were taken…please for the love of gawd call the game ref?!!…so boils down to one last corner. 

Kittys send it in and it spills out to their player on the right corner of the box…where he decides to fucking send it…the young kitten unleashes a laser headed to the top left corner…….then a strong right hand appears and denies those kittens….NOLAN FOR THE SAVE….FUCKING GLORIOUS. 

Man-of-the-Match: NOLAN’S golden gloves kept the Badgers alive. SO GOOD.

Special-Award:
Sportsmanship pinapple award goes to Matt for doing the right thing.

Post-Match-Report: WE CRUSHED POST GAME. BEST ITS BEEN FOR A WHILE.
