Good game, good game, good game...
Group A, Global Game (Brazil +2) defeats Rye 323 (Brazil by 1) in opening match-up.
In his post match presser, Global Game said it was a game of two halves, that the best team won on the day, but he was taking one game at a time. Now it's time for my ice bath...

In the other Group A match - Yakcall takes the win even those he only picked Brazil by 1 thanks to Patrick478 chosing to go with the draw in the game.
I'm an optimistic pessimist.
I'm positive things will go wrong.

Who cant save a toe poke from outside the box? Very questionable keeping.

Same for the first goal, he didn't take a sidestep or 2 to spring himself into the dive which would have got him there. Diving from a statioary position is poor technique. The first and third goals were from far enough out and moving slow enough that you'd have expected him to get there.

Actually, the toe-poke shot is one of the hardest to save, as the GK has less reaction time on 2 fronts: a) power b) the shooting player hits it mid-stride and doesn't have to set himself before shooting as per the norm. It is coached in futsal as a very effective scoring shot. Oscar has a futsal background.

According to Sanday's spreadsheet, I'm getting pounded early - points in only 2 games, but still lower points in those than Oska. Time for a Dutch-style comeback
