The A.F.I.S World Cup

[Jarl Frost]

WORLD CUP FINAL

 

Meihua Takes Cup

 

Defeats Russia 0-0, 4-3 in exciting PK shootout!

 

Lets be honest: this game was dull. Both Russia and Meihua took the field looking to win, and it really showed as both teams fielded a solid defense, preventing any score in regular time. Leaving many people wanting more out of the game, the crowd really rallied as both teams prepared for a PK shootout.

Jack Capstone, Meihua's keeper, entered goal-line fully ready to play, stopping the first two of Russia's tries, the first being a spectacular diving save, while the second was a poor shot directly down the middle.

Artyom Artyomson (Grandson of Tony), on the other hand, had enjoyed a day free of Meihua's offense, and was thus wholly unprepared for simple tricks and flicks that Meihua employed in order to kick the ball in the net.

 

Meihua takes the AFIS World Cup! Congratulations!

Celebrations took off nationwide as the supporters that had been holding their breath for the much of the penalty shootout were finally given relief in the form of sweet victory. Alcohol consumption during the game itself hadn't been particularly high (there were few noteworthy and rememberable plays before the shootout) but it certainly ramped up during the climactic end. Minor Major heart attacks occurred en masse as Captain Jin Lu scored an inappropriately audacious penalty for the World Cup finals in an attempt to perhaps rattle the opposing Keeper, or net himself some style points.

The team's blue and white kit was a staple that night as fans took to the streets to share their ecstasy with other fans and debate in heated topics, such as "Is Lu a dickhead for trying that penalty?".
