Comments:
Robert Dey was a 1 673 000 US$ investment. He gets 4.5* when in decent form. He scored all 4 goals, so I'd say he living up to expectation... This was the Cows 5th best game ever, and second best away game.
The score actually is mostly right... possesion was split, expereince was spilt (we both had poor), and my attack ratings to his defensive ratings were better than his attack ratings to my defensive ratings.
The loss has doomed aviator's comeback and now has no chance of staying in IV.19 (sorry man). It also edges Kix by 4 points (I also have goal dif tie breaker). 1 win by me or 1 loss by Kix breaks Kix chance of staying in IV.19. I like the idea of controling my own destiny now... for a while, it was out of my hands. If Evillive wants 2nd place, he will MOTS this week, cause he won't beat zyzzers. That would be enough to clinch.
