My team (D2) picked the worst time to play our worst game of the season and was bounced by Pasadena by 3 points.

Was shocked to see Frisco lose, especially with the near home-field advantage.

The near home-field I felt worked against us some. Friday night check-in for us at 6 meant the team had to get off work early Friday, fight rush hour traffic to get to Irving. Captain's run at 7 meant our guys didnt get home till late. 10 AM match meant wake up calls before 6. If we had to travel to California like the last few years, I think the team would have had more organized evenings. Everything kinda felt weird for lack of a better word.

No excuse still. We had 2 game films on them and they did exactly what we knew they were going to. We just played like absolute shite. Missed a penalty kick from 10 meters out and our English center tried to reverse field and throw a skip pass that was intercepted for a 50 meter try. Ill go to my death bed saying we are the better team...

Obviously I can go on about this but wont hijack your thread. Ill just be in the corner.
