Blue team was okay but that loving old white guy ended so many possessions by trying to run his way single handily to victory despite the fact that he looks like the guy who has a framed godfather poster behind his deli counter

maybe there's a deep level of strategy here where you have big slow untalented dudes whose job it is to lay on the guys from the other side that are fast scorers

but probably not

The White squad looks more athletic (I'm not just saying this because they've fielded multiple black guys). The Blues have a bunch of old dudes, they seem to have the better fans though. Should be starting in about 10.

I thought maybe old man experience and the uhhhh 28th man of the crowd might've made it more even but yea, White's were better athletes. Both teams were kind of garbage when it came to shooting.

White had the most guys who looked like they just got out of prison and I think that's the best indication of a good team in this sport. Looking forward to the finals

That wraps up the semi-finals. Despite being possibly the physically strongest team in the tournament, the Whites skill and offense left a lot to be desired. Luckily for them they faced probably the worst team in the tournament. The Blues had equally poor ball skills and a roster of old and haggard men trying too hard to do too much. Despite controlling most of the game, the Whites had to overcome a few scares and generally poor shooting to achieve their 3.5 to 2 victory. The Bianchi have progressed and will now face the mighty Verdi in the finals.


Let's look at some key moments.
Turmoil early on as a Blue player is expelled (for what I don't know). A team this weak cannot afford to go down in numbers

(ignore the score this was a replay after the game)


Next we have to highlight a game changer, a man of passion and courage, the X factor for the Whites and the greatest leader this year's tournament has seen; Italian Vin Diesel. With his intimidating presence, haphazard flurries of fists and ability to seemingly be in the middle of the action non-stop, Vin has proved to be a real asset for the Whites. Barking orders at teammates, attacking then lovingly hugging/slapping his opponents, the man perplexed and stifled the opposition while leading his team to glory.

Here's Vin launching an explosive barrage on a Blue player letting them know who is the boss.


Later Vin breached enemy lines to deliver a 1,000 hand slap combo and shrug off two punches to illustrate his dominance and let his teammates know to not be afraid of entering the opponents half.


The play of the game went to White defender #3 for this impressive goal denying block.


At the end of the game the Blues were exhausted and their ranks were broken allowing skinny dirtman of the Whites to go on an excellent slaloming full-piazza run on goal. They didn't have to keep scoring but the Blues were broken and the opportunity was there.







The final showdown is coming on the 24th. Who will lay claim to Florence and win the White cow? Only time will tell.

The final is happening tomorrow. I'm near certain it'll be 12:30 EST this time. Call in sick, take an extended lunch break, this action truly cannot be missed.

It's finally the Festa Di San Giovanni and scores will be settled. It's come down to Verdi vs Bianchi
