  Brown amazed with rich and succulent grass.  No comparison with bleak Warren lawn. Not one, but two captains today: Georgi and Cüneyt vs. Ilya P. and Sergey P.  But teams nearly doubled after the initial pick. Hand in the box: in a personal interview, both the goalkeeper (Herman) and the defender (Kolya P.) categorically confirmed that ball was not going anywhere near the goals.  Car keys are retrieved by a search party with flash lights around 21:14.  Thanks to everyone who helped with the search.   Thank you to Dr. Yurik for a ride home!   Game Timeline 17:51 - 0:0 - Start 7 on 7 on artificial field with...
