The Cyclones probably should have won by more tbh.

 

We had like no ball and no field position. WHAT THE FUCK.

A midfield, consisting of Welker, Weaver, Nova and myself should not be getting starved of the ball.

Rusty and Pilgrim actually had pretty awesome games. Not sure how the ratings have them, but I would still say they had good games.

The fact that VSFC lost 5-0 and Rusty and Pilgrim got around 0 for their ratings says a lot.

 

Gonna have to change something up for the next round.

 

4 shots, 2 goals in 22mins of football. You deserve to be rated higher.
