With the stresses of finishing district, weather, playoffs or not playoffs, lets take the foot of the brakes in this one.
Question: What is the craziest game you have either played in or watched.?
I shall post this on boys site too, as am sure they have some classics.
My picks:
Circa 1987, New Years Day, Portsmouth at home to Fulham. PFC notorious for dipping in form come Christmas time, far too may pubs in that city. Half time winning 4-0. Full time whistle, 4-4.
Fast forward to May, and they miss promotion by goal difference!
Coaching: Likely last years quarter finals with Sam Houston 0-0 all the way thru double OT and the two 5 mins OT, then to PKS. Every single player left it all on the field, and was so impressed that so many non soccer people, you know FB and BB coaches and the like, said how it was such an enthralling game even with no goals
And in keeping with Saints fervor, here's my all-time classic football score. The middle school where i teach won against local rivals, 3-2. yes, this is American football! Funny, the points all scored by quarterback Tyler Melancon, who now plys his soccer trade at Temple. This is MS FB, so hard to score points. He takes the field goal. Game then turns into a defensive stalemate and his team finds themselves pinned on their own 3 yd line late on, so coaches decide to let him give up the safety on purpose so they can get the ball at least to the 20 yd line to kick! Classic.
