As you can see in the pictures above, we looked like professionals for our replay with MPSS on Sunday. Sadly, we didn’t play like them. We got outplayed for most of the game, and lost 3-1.
In the week preceding the game MPSS had complained that we featured 2 players on our team that are from the Technical College at MCV, and are not Gracious students. However our captain persuasively argued back that every team (including MPSS) has players that should not technically belong on the team. They were simply complaining because one of our Technical College players is very good. The MPSS team agreed with this argument and Tia was allowed to play. MPSS again featured a teacher which our students found greatly amusing. Especially when you could hear on the field “Sir, pass me the ball, sir!”
The game stopped for sometime in the first half, when the referee awarded MPSS a penalty kick and our players refused to let them take it. After about 15 minutes of arguing between the teams, referee, and assorted villagers who had walked onto the field, it was decided that we would allow them to take the penalty, but the referee would be switched. This was actually a surprising outcome to me, not because of the referee change (seen that before), but because we were actually unsuccessful in arguing away the penalty kick (most of the time the ref just changes the call). MPSS scored on the penalty kick to make it 2-0.
