2nd half and straight away concede for 3-1

Shite defending

 

[Jinky]

3-1 to them. This must be a bit embarrassing for our 'legends'

 

[Kenny]

Doing superbly well

5-1 down

 

[Kenny]

Zele pulls one back

 

[Kenny]

So FT 5-2 BUT its America so now something extra has to happen

Winner is first to 6!.

Every 5 mins a team will lose a player until there is just 1 player (no keeper) left on the pitch. (Not sure if that is 5 mins without a goal or just every 5 mins that passes until someone has scored 6)

 

[Kenny]

5-3

Jack Hodnet with the goal.

 

[Alan]

1-0 down within 5 minutes...

Is Alan in the crowd?

They've had a mare by scheduling it in the middle of the week tbh.

Wanted to go but can't justify the expense or time off with my employer currently swinging the layoff axe around.

I just looked at the competitions Twitter feed and had no clue what was happening. Your explanation has made it no clearer

It ain't like watching the Timbers!

*checks MLS table*

Oh, maybe it is.

So they play for 40 mins.

The game then goes into Target goal time!
Target goal is the current leaders total plus 1 ( so 6 for our game)
They now play until someone scores 6 goals.
To help get there they start to withdraw players every 5 mins (or every 5 mins when a goal hasn't been scored...this bit I am not clear on). So eventually it can get to a 1 v 1 game (from a 7 v 7 starting point)

 

[Kenny]

Game over 6-3

 

[Deano]

I take it the feed is miles behind as they tweeted the final score ages ago.

 

[Kenny]

Clearly it was but its free so...

Ok, makes sense now thanks. I couldn't work out if 'target goal time' was some awful American term or not.

Is it being played in a junior school?
Have you seen the size of the penalty area / goal area?
Tiny!!

North Carolina FC (USL1, basically our 3rd tier) and North Carolina Courage (NWSL, women's Premiership) play there and draw pretty decent crowds fwiw. They can slap down a regulation sized pitch when they need to!

It's a 7 aside tournament.

 

[b3h]

Saw a bit of it. Couldn't help but think they needed a ringer, like you'd get occasionally down 5 a side, some guy scores 20

 

[Deano]

Guedioura hasn't changed a bit. Pointless pot shots from all kinds of ridiculous ranges and angles, boiling my piss in a 7 aside game
