Screw the Hattiesburg FC. Their unstoppable #9 and his glory sky pointing, his three fingers to the crowd as he left the field late, his pushing and shoving and his jawing and his scoring and his winning. Wish we had him on our team. The Chupacabras were not ready for the likes of him or weren't aware of the likes of him, or something. Another lesson learned, the hard way, 3-5 loss, reasons for optimism, but still, dang.
0-3-1 on the season says nothing about wanting to win, the Chupacabras certainly want to win. The blood, sweat, and tears are all over, spinning wheel, got to go round, they are busting to bust out. It's a good trait, a solid trait, effort and want to, but it's not enough, to merely want to win. They must have to win, to not accept losing, to detest it, to become ill by it. They are making progress.
Tough to take, and medicine's not enough, the mind must take over, the body is a tool to maintain and improve, it must be tamed to perfection, broke in. And so it is with a team. Ignore the Refs, they are Refs, any team relying on Refs or blaming Refs is diminished. Pull up your shin guards, Chupacabras, keep the chins high as your digestive system processes the first 4 games. Hit the road like desperados, like it must be done, we definitely have the players, we must become an elite pack.
