    Congrats to Sri Lanka on their win, it was a close run thing... Silva once again bites me on the a**!

    Well played though, and good luck to everyone else left in the tournament! Really enjoyed this comp.

    I'm a little late but congratulations India for playing really well. Silva won the tie for you with an almost 50 point swing in your favour.

    Good luck to everyone left in the competition but I hope the Indians win it so we can say we lost to the champions 😛

    SA PRESSER

    Evening

    I trust all the SAFs have all packed their vuvezela's and a ready to jet home from the tournament.

    It had been a great party but alas despite a terrific effort a number of little things transpired against us and the perennial chokers, choked again.

    We can look at last nights banker Gooner victory - but it didnt materialize or we can look at our starting XI and reflect on the gigantic score sitting on bench 🙁

    Ginkapo and I have felt this pain and anguish in the past and as we scratch our heads looking for answers we would usually blame bad luck for fear of accepting or apportioning any blame - its a side game, meant to be fun and bring together the FFS community and hopefully we have achieved that at SA especially with the added banter during those wild night partying!!

    Big thanks for the efforts and commitment - best of luck in your mini leagues and the only thing left is for Thomass to "slash" on that #ProteaFire on the way out.

    Cheers
    BonZ

      You've merely peaked too early. We are just getting into our stride when it really matters, like every championship winning team.

        Peaked too early?! We lost the first 3 games then started the next 50+ runs behind! WE'RE just getting into our stride, and it's considerably larger than yours 😎

          Yeah, you spent all your energy having to claw your way back from the first 3 matches and peaked last week. Now you're exhausted and there for the taking this week.

              I must say, Timbo, Mark, Beavis and DooLittle all look to be particularly weary.

              Which is a shame for Sri Lanka as they have to play you with either only one Sunderland player or a points hit 😉

                I'm warming up for the final, not burdened by any Sunderland players away at Chelsea. You worry about your own side Georgie Boy, Sri Lanka more than know what we're doing.

                So worried you're checking out the opposition that closely!

                Don't think I've bothered to check a rivals team once yet.
