LXG 6 – DUDEN SPORT 1
Report by Marco Lazio aka Marco Roma
Life was beautiful last Sunday for the match against Duden Sport. Since the outset, there were some signs that it could be a nice day for "Luxembourg Cinquante" (as Duden Sport's coach called us): coach Paulus Romanus, for instance, decided to add an elegant touch to the match and left home his awful Manchester tie…Girlfriends and many LXG lads came to watch the show…except Eoin O'Shea, who decided to enjoy the beauty of Rome (good choice) and watch another match whose result would not deserve to be mentioned, apart from the fact that it was not good enough to make Ireland win the 6 nation trophy after 26 years (well done anyway, Ireland)
But let's come to the match that started with 2 minute delay, which seemed to upset whom would then become the man of the match: the referee! Our LXG legionnaires started pushing hard against a team whose only objective seemed to defend the initial 0-0. Someone complained about the match balls being pumped too much. Marco ROMA(!!), in charge of pumping the balls, justified it by saying that the pump was close to the American pretty server waitress at the bar and that he pumped the balls as much as he could in order to talk to her…would you blame him?
However, after few minutes of play, the referee started his great performance with a yellow card to Endrik the Panther. Not much later, le fils de Puskas reminded the world that Hungary would have actually won a World Cup, if Germany had not used tons of illicit substances in 1954, and penetrated on the right side, entered into the box and scored the first goal of the day. But it was only the beginning. 5 minutes later, Saj King of Gent decided to remind that also Belgium…well…let's simply say that he showed the entire world how you can neutralise an offside strategy and run 30 meters alone towards the glory and the 2-0.
Just the time to put the ball back to the centre of the pitch and the LXG legionnaires were again pushing hard to close the match so to say, in our coach's words, "3-0 and a casa, finito". It was Endrik the Panther's turn to contribute with the most classical of a centre attack's goal, with a header proving great timing on the ball and an Inzaghi-like goal instinct.
While the referee was smoking his cigarette during the break, coach Paulus Romanus gave instructions: "keep focus till the end, you will think of figa after the match". The message was crystal clear to all the legionnaires. Nevertheless, Duden Sport managed to score after few minutes with a header of a player whose performance was clearly influenced by the talent transmitted by San Salvador Jimmy's shoes. During the first half Duden Sport's Number 20 had broken his shoe and our Jimmy lent him his shoe, allowing him to continue the match. Someone suspects that ABSSA could consider that as Jimmy's own goal.
The 3-1 gave back some confidence to Duden Sport. It was then when God's hand intervened, with Florian Lafayette's professional volleyball smash, which cleared our goal line. These French…sometime they seem not to understand the basics of this game, using their head when they should not and their hands against the ball…
However, the referee did not see anything, but still decided to show his authority by giving few minutes later an astonishing yellow card to the mildest of all legionnaires, Jani Litmanen, who had just replaced Endrik the Panther, injured and frustrated by the referee. When asked about the reason of the yellow card, our Finnish hero said: "I was smiling".
After some minutes of difficulty, our legionnaires decided to put the match back on track. A few initiatives were blocked by the referee whistling a series of non-existing offsides, but eventually a header by Copacabana Pineda on a corner by Pietro the fils de Puskas hit the internal part of the post. Was it a goal? In the doubt, Marco ROMA (!!), who had replaced at half time Napoleon Victor, kindly tapped the ball into the net, just to be sure. While Copacabana was celebrating and shouting in Spanish "y eso tambien es fuera de juego?", the conscientious referee run behind him and said with that kind of French delicate accent that only a Walloon can have (no offence to our Belgian friends) "Monsieur, ce n'est pas a` vous, le but" and indicated Marco Roma(!!) as the scorer to be remembered in the ABSSA archives.
The last few minutes were just a piece of symphony by the LXG orchestra, with Pietro the fils de Puskas scoring another goal, this time starting from the left side. After this second goal by Pietro il Grande Ungherese, our President was asked to submit a formal request to Pietro's girlfriend to watch all the match till the end of the season, given the uncountable positive effect on her man's performances. Finally, while the match was about to finish, Marco Roma(!!) felt that he also needed a proper goal, beside the one just stolen to Copacabana, and thanks to an enlightening pass made by Jani yellow-card Litmanen run alone against the goalkeeper. For the first time since 1985 Marco ROMA(!!) did not shot against the goalkeeper and actually scored. Some gossips (from Liverpool?) said that he had tried to fail, but the goalkeeper moved at the last moment…
Then the triple whistle came. Another luminous victory for LXG, which remains unbeaten in 2007. That was serious football, "6-1, a casa, finito". No putas this time: too many girlfriends (and a child!) around and we are still the Elegant Extraordinary Gentlemen team (not Luxembourg!). Only Spanish showers, this time.

That's amazing. Even I managed to score when I borrowing Jimmy's boots earlier this season! They must have magic powers.
