2nd Team Correspondent

Line-up: Puig, Yugueros, Skoniezki, Guarnaccia, Lambrecht, McGirr, Novak, Legere, Mineo, Deschamps, Henriquez / Subs: Pellegry, Claudino

After last week's bitter taste, finally a taste we all like. If you are already wondering which one is it, wait till we win the league.

Neither cold weather or late arrival of #Plux'sMostKnownDuo to Maelbeek station couldn't ruin the great team spirit in and out of the changing room, mainly driven by one and only vet (sorry, x2) in the team, 'Il Professore' and couple of other funny lads. Usual #aggresive talk from Capitano as an intro to a game that could decide the faith of RBBFC2 :)

Not so many people stayed to watch what turned out to be the beauty of the 20th leg of ABBSA 3rd league division.

Ref whistled start and immediately Whites started pressing high which resulted in a goal a few minutes into the game when a no man's ball ended up in the feet of (as he was later named) #Croatian Machine (#thanks Pineapple), quick look in to the box and guess who is there, red Belgian fox of the box

Charlie, a bit of trouble for him being pulled

by two bears but with a bit of luck there is always a second shot----> GOOOOLLLLAAAAARRRRCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! RBBFC2 gone wild.

Approx. 10 min later, after a series of fast side line attacks from the

"Latin" speaker duo H&D finally a corner which means #German's

tallest skyscraper is coming to the town (like those in Frankfurt am Main). Machine produced a solid ball to the closer post and there he was, #Il Professore (nobody saw but we are BELIEVERS) made an incredible header assist which was picked up by the first floor of Burj-al-Arab. Opponents are down 2-0, what a great team performance from the Whites BUT…everything good comes to an end (#love life experience), so did the great work of RBBFC2 when a misunderstanding, better said terrible wannabe chicken chest pass to Il professore from the CRO Machine went wrong and what a goal from ca.30m, where was the goalkeeper, again on the spiritual walks or??? No one knows…moving on till the half time whistle with a couple of good opportunities and dribblings (#Muhammad Ali style ring moves back form 70's- breathtaking to watch, Titanic all over again).

While we sat on the bench, immediately our injured team-mates, in this case supporters #KillThemAllFlamby and #AchillesHeellKev started their motivational talks which will soon prove to be crucial.

Second half is under way, Penelope starts. Again Whites are taking control of the game with a very nice and secure performance from the defenders up. One of those good vertical balls from the defenders found a way to #Il Professore's feet. He takes care of the ball as he does with his pupils back in the school (with attention providing the best possible knowledge), he lifts his head high to search for earlier mentioned fox, this sneaky little fellow again found a hole where he will receive a beautifull pass (#intermediate level) and then easily score, this became a routine for the fox of the box. 3-1 for the better team. After a few nice headers from our tough "Italian" defence we managed to concede another goal after a series of tactical mistakes from everyone. Penelope is thrilled, they are growing wings, but they don't know that we already have a pair of those in our own backyard.

Soon after that unlucky goal a moment of inspiration finally came to the guy from the second floor when he sees #MigMigHoracio approaching fast (nearby trees are still shaking) and uses his earth-to-earth missile navigation to perfectly place it to #MigMig who comes rushing in with 4G force and scores, keeper was powerless against this. Hugs and kisses all around the place ;)

4-2 and already thinking about the beer in the bar later when a ball (let's call it assist) by a tireless sprinter #DaniCarvajal comes right on to the stronger left foot of the #CROMachine and what a goal that was, surely a good day for that guy. 5-2 and lads are already celebrating, but Penelope doesn't want to give up yet and after a weird combination incl. our own player #ItalianStallion48 who I later heard had a nice evening out the day before (that explains this once in a lifetime mistake). Final result 5-3, we learned them a lesson, showed them who is THE GANG OF 3rd DIVISION, but so did they learned us one, game is not finished until the end. Overall, very good performance from everyone, special thanks to the guys on the bench (#Fruit & #Vegetable) who didn't have the chance to play

Worth mentioning, #Il Professore didn't scream as much as me this time, mea culpa to everyone, I'll take the title of 'la personne qui crie' acccording to Gooogle translate, 16/03/2015.
