We raced into a 3-1 lead, yours truly scored to make it 3-1. However, daft errors saw the tie drawn at 3-3. Amusingly, Dave Gourlay got walloped in the face by the rock-hard futsal ball. He went into a mood after that. This included when Tim told him to “get goalside” and he replied “why?” It was clear that the heat was clearly affecting us and we seemed to wilt late in the game.
Second game was played with their ball, and despite conceding early, we roared back and took a three goal lead. It was backs to the walls late on when it was 5-4, but we succeeded, and If you translate the video, one of their players is saying that they should have used our Sassco ball.
So, quite a brilliant tour in my opinion, being a 5-a-side tour. Unlike Spain in 2010, we had much more time on our hands and zero travel, which made it very relaxed. I was quite complacent on this one, forgetting camera’s, etc. But at least we recorded all the games, or to be exact, our opponents had people on had to do that, and had good memories, including some very positive results.
Just gets better every time you watch it. Now in better quality with better sound.
