soccer match last friday

Last Friday a a guy who works at the school had organised a soccer match against a Swiss veteran team (as already announced). A couple of guys from my class and me (and of course other students), as well as Konstantine who was the organizer, formed the St. Giles Team.

The result of the game was about 8:5 (orfor us... it was quite fun. We played two halfs of 40 minutes and were a rather unorganized team. Nevertheless we dominated the whole game and at no time we had to fear that we'd lose the match. 

The swiss veteran players spended most time shouting at each other, every player thought the other was playing completly wrong. It was so much fun to hear them:

"Hey Franco, spiel hine ume, hiiiiiiiiine!!!" *lol*

But the most funny thing during the whole game was that the veterans always played with an offside trap. Well, nice idea, but the proble was they were just too lame to play in this way. Often the offside trap was about ten meters behind de middle line and as soon as a passed the ball over their trap, they had no chance to outrun our players again. This state lead to other conversation on the part of the veterans: 

Player 1: "Hey, deck de doch mal!" 

Player 2: "Ja was sölli mache, sobald de ball animmt isch er 5 meter vor mir"

or like this: "Achtung, s 8i chunnt wieder."

Unfortunately they startet to commit fouls as they saw no other possibilities to stop some players... This lead to some verbal abuse on our part, maybe not very nice but it helped... At least we wont have injuries after a fun game because some stupid ambitious soccer players.

Translated into English it was like this:

Tobias: "Hey, that was a damned foul!"

Veteran: "Nonsense, he's just acting!"

Tobias: "And you're a fuckin jerk!"

Veteran looks very amazed... 

     Not very nice, but it helped! And still better than to start commiting fouls because the others also foul. It didn't take much time and they stopped fouling and started again shouting at each other... In the end they were really in a bad mood, actually they scored five goals, but they had about 10 times less chances than we had during the game.

To sum up, we enjoyed the game very much and had a lot of fun... the veterans probably will never play again St. Giles anymore. (At least these veterans)
