“I agreed to the game offer despite the team being a considerable bit stronger.

He had quite a few skills but I had hope the higher AV9 plus one extra ST4 would suffice to negate his extra (overall) speed and the few skills he had extra.

Well; the first half it failed spectacularly. The whole plan folded when he could dodge (4+ though) and blitz (1D) my ball carrier whom promptly went for a nap in the KO box.

The second half though was way, way better. For starters one of his 2 KO'd guarders remained KO so he had to field an unskilled beast instead. Furthermore a BOB managed to injure a beast (BH) in the first turn.

That extra player was felt throughout the entire second half.

In the end I even had the cheek to hand off the ball to a 13 spp BOB (whom scored and promptly got the MVP)

Tough game. Fun though.”
