Same Shit, Different Day

The lights went out on the Sunburned Zebras as they crashed to another defeat on a night defined by betrayal.

The Special One had already been basely betrayed by Paildo and Latinaldo - both of whom preferred to watch football rather than stand alongside their comrades - before Vanhoino's body betrayed him and the playmaker's knee buckled beneath him and he had to be helped to the sidelines.

The Zebras played some fine football, Vanhoino slamming in a couple of early goals, Paginho scoring a cracker and Freemisco himself scoring with a twice-taken penalty. Reito gave everything for the cause and Ricadisco made some tremendous saves, including blocking one point blank effort with his testicles, a save that left his eyes watering.

Ultimately it was to no avail. Freemisco's patented impression of a traffic cop betrayed the team again as he allowed strikers to run through on goal unmolested. Freemisco set the tone with the opening goal as he stood statue-like as the striker crashed the ball home to cancel out a short-lived Zebra lead.

Wimo unleashed the worst shot in the history of football, blazing 25 feet over form the edge of the box. The referee was typically useless and biased against the Zebras, making some curious decisions that hardly helped the cause.

All in all, not an especially good day out.
