Outsiders 1 - 5? Mad Cows

In Jannis absence, we have a new, talented guest reporter: Marco Panchetti.

Hello,
To be brief, honestly, I am not at the level of the other reporters, i went to the match without a
notepad, a sheet, nothing useful to record the score and the events.
Actually, I went to the match in hurry, thinking to be late, but with the big hope for a funny and fresh evening..
I can't know what should be my duty at the end. This report will be approximative indeed..
From the very beginning! Who were the opponents yesterday? The calendar says: "Outsiders" a team that sounds completely new team for me.
But I'm sure I've seen before them.. Doh!? Maybe too much matches this year.
The match started with a discrete delay, so the last of the day I suppose.
Then someone must to make the time up, immediately after the first whistle.
The merry visitor, if experienced in mucche, can alredy imagine this "someone" can be only an opponent: 1-2 second, 1-2 passages and "the tall" one took the first net for the Outsiders.
But I think it was a good thing, this little slap: mucche woke up more quick, comparing other matches, and became very careful and clever.
Soon the foe coach sent the "tall one" to rest on the benches, i can't know why, or maybe..
The fact is the mucche gained, meter after meter the possesion of the hostile area, 2 (Alessandra and Sara) or 3 (Amy) of them were always free to shoot or give assists. This is the -very early, it must be declared- turning point of the match. In that situation the "tall one" can't help, so the Outsiders's coach tought to give the team to the "short one", the number 11, a little, speedy and poisoned piece.
But the net of the outsiders was firmly in mucche's hands. First goal, equalize, by Alessandra -if i can remember-, then the time of Sara starts: 2 goals, both from assists by Alessandra.. Well, both, I've said all along everything shoul be approximative..
These are just the feelings I remeber, not a clear report.
Very pleasant the choral play of ours forwards: rarely is possible to see that in a calcetto match, where the players are whether frustrated egotist or poor goofs -just to emphatize, I'm not intended to insult, especially the mucche!-
After again Alessandra scores, and the match is yet in the mucche's hands.
The raging opponents tried to do something, but nervously, a goal before the end of the first half, then..
Then the second half was a furball, both team were fatigued, but the Outsiders although trying to press the mucche, can't do nothing because of upset, especially "the short one".
Well, the 11 was "properly treated" by Costanza, Christel, Sandra, Stefania & C. , but she maintained also a theatrical attitude while she can't agree with the result.
So, again a goal by Alessandra e Sara ended the match: easy at last!
Well, but what was exactly the score!?
6-2!?
I'm ready for retirement home..
Marco
The team: Mi Ah, Alessandra 3?, Amy, Christel, Costanza, Sara 2?, Stefi
