I figured you were... a couple of my buddies were razzing me too. To add insult to injury, I lost a bet with my Chelsea fan buddy, and now I'm a "proud" owner of a new Chelsea jersey. However, they weren't ready to be in the semis, but they demonstrated a lot of growth and moxie, and it only means next year should be more fun.
That sucks about the sucker shot after scoring a goal. I've taken quite a few injuries from scoring goals too. When I was playing U18 for Foothills, rather than accept that I beat them to the ball and scored a nice goal, I had both defenders kick my ankle after I shot the ball, breaking the cartilage in it. It took me out of the league (while we were being scouted by the Storm's PDL coach no less), and I've never been the same since. They were likely some kind of British... but I've dealt with goons of all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds. Not to sound racist, but I've found Central Americans and Middle Eastern players to be dirtiest, but I do my best not to judge on that experience. (I should add, they're also amongst the most fun to play with/against because they take the sport very seriously, and tend to understand if they get tripped up by an errant foot) I definitely understand the frustration though.
