Both teams looked tired...they have had to play 4 and 5 games this week. Mann won all 5 of the games while Eastside lost to Mann twice and an unbelievable upset to Southside. I don't think that Eastside came out to play this game like they have the others, whether it was the lack of motivation of the lack of senior leadership, they just played like they were going through the motions. Mann's first half was lagging also until they finished a chance. That goal changed the momentum of the half, but then they came back out the second half sluffing off, but then half way through the second they scored again and you could see the faces of the Eastside players drop. They knew they wouldn't be able to recover, which was suprising because they are a second half team and they have won most of their games in the second half and they never give up. The refs were horrible also. They never gave Eastside the chance to even make it past half field before a whistle blew for something either off the ball or something that shouldn't have even been considered a foul. This aggrevated them and frustrated them and then they began getting cards and warnings for mouthing off. The game was a fun won to watch because they are two great teams, but in the end Mann was the victor.
