Season ends for Pumas

The PDL has had issues with officials all season long - mostly falling for flops by players. My wife nicknamed a player on one opposing side "twitch" because every time he flopped, his legs would twitch so much it looked like he was on death's doorstep. But ever time he did it, he got a call from an official.

Well, it looks like the floppers had their way with the officials in western Texas yesterday. This time it cost the Kitsap Pumas a potential shot at the title.

A flop in stoppage time by a newly-hired flopper on the Ventura County Floppers was erroneously called a penalty by the official (who was apparently operating without his seeing eye dog and/or white cane). The Ventura Floppers scored on the resulting free kick to defeat the Kitsap Pumas 2-1. The defeat eliminated the Pumas from playoffs.

Wait'll next year! ALLEZ PUMAS!

Division champions, baby!

Despite having a man sent off for no apparent reason in the 30th minute, the Kitsap Pumas continued to work hard and it paid off. They scored in the second half and defeated a team from Abbotsford, BC last night, 1-0. The Pumas are still undefeated (11-0-3) and clinched the division title last night.

You have to hand it to the referee last night. He was able to run up and down the field at a high rate of speed without using his white cane or his seeing-eye dog.

The Pumas have two matches left, during which they could easily clinch the best record in the entire PDL, and then it's on to the playoffs! What a fantastic inaugural season!

Allez Pumas!
