So, the cup championship game in my league I played a great game...only I ended up getting sent off the field with 20 minutes left in the game. I got a red card for what my teammates quote "rugby tackled" a striker that was right in front of the 18 yard box central to my goal. Neither of us were hurt and I honestly was gong for the soccer ball..only I ended up taking her down with me. Luckily the team didn't score so we won the championship game 1-0. Totally worth it. This was the first card I ever got and it was in an English game. My teammates said I would have to pay some kind of fee since I got carded....but being that was my last English game and I'm going back to America, I haven't seen anything to do with that so I doubt I'll really get fined, or pay for it.
Then after the game we went to support other teams from the University that were playing in the same town so during the american football game (my uni is not good at american football at all) I borrowed a football and showed my teammates how to properly throw a football. The girls pitched in and bought me a snakebite (cider, blackcurrant, and lager) and had me drink it as they cheered a chant due to the fact that I got red carded and sent off the pitch and made them all so nervous about the outcome of the game. Then I had to log roll down that little hill as a penalty. It was fun banter and no harm done. Hopefully I get the medal before I go back home.
