Those two dudes at the top of the screen have been in a loving embrace on the ground for like the whole match thus far, I think they have opted out of doing anything

I like that scoring attempts seem to totally depend on whenever more than one guy remembers there is a ball and/or a point to all this

Green just lost a player who isnt old fat or gassy. Lapi just went for glory and got speared. Not good.

That's Lapi (unless I missed another guy tapping). Playing old dudes and getting expulsions is pissing the game away for green.

I was rooting for white although that was mostly based on steroid dude who got ejected five seconds into this match

Green had a nice block on that first attempt but couldn't stop the second at all, white just walking away with this now

Well it's over. After two exciting semi-finals the Whites blew away the Greens 4.5 to .5 in a controversial final. The Whites broke down the Greens in a manner few could have predicted. Despite superior skill the Greens fell apart early due to expulsions and poor turnovers. The roidmen of the Whites were able to impose their will after the 15 minute mark by completely controlling the ground game and perforating the Green line. It was a one sided thrashing as the Greens were low on numbers, morale, and innovation. The sloppy direct offensive play of the Whites went unpunished because they had little opposition to worry about defensively. They were able to take their lovely shots from 5 yards out and run up the score. Gianluca Lapi was supposed to give the greens direction. Despite scoring from a nicely aimed shot early on he tried to do too much and ultimately lead to needless turnovers, maybe it's time for Lapi to finally hang up his green poofy pants. The Greens lacked the ferocity and drive they exhibited in the semi-finals. Maybe it was because someone from their camp had recently passed. The older squad they fielded in the final and the whistle happy refs certainly did not help. In the end I know the Greens will learn from this and with better ground training and more roiding they'll be right back in the hunt next year.

Let's look at some key moments.

The White Steroid Capo Bonfiglio gets antsy early on and decides there isn't enough brawling. Charges headfirst into a handful of Greens to start a Melee. Is ejected (probably did something stupid in the fracas). A real loss for the Whites and neutral viewers.



Lapi opens the scoring with a deflected launch from downtown


broken line and general unawareness costing Green


typical sloppy White goal


the importance of friendship and hydration


frustration leads to Green player rock bottoming White at the end
