Middle Earth Soccer Continues! Mordor v Mirkwood

by EvilReceptionistOfDoom

It's the second match of the quarterfinals, and the old rivalries are going strong... Will the orcs learn to manage their anger? How many red cards can one player actually recieve? Is the goal still legal if the player who makes it is dead?

2. First Half of First Half

((NOTE. So, this, for those of you still paying attention after so long, is not even the full first half. Why? Because I accidentally overwrote the later file with the earlier, shorter one, and so doing lost a huge, invaluable chunk of play. So. I've been in a not-real-comical mood these days, so no real prospectus on when this thing'll be done... yeah... Read "Bride of Morgoth"! And write reviews or I'll NEVER finish this, bluh.))

FIRST HALF

"...and now the kickoff. Vicious scramble for the ball - Ture Turelion's down - Moogrug's down - and Galdras Luendesse has it! He runs it down the pitch - passes to Eiros Swiftlight, Mirkwood's fastest player - and he's down the field like a speeding eagle! Mordor's Mork in pursuit-"

"Mork's not fast enough to catch him! But Mordor's defence is ready-"

"Swiftlight dodges them all! But can he get past Muggflump, the 'Killer Keeper'? He's going to try for it!"

"Eiros takes a shot - Muggflump deflects it with the tips of his fingers! What a save!"

"And now the other players have caught up - the orcs are mobbing Swiftlight-"

"-and don't notice Muggflump's goal kick to Nockumded, who's immediately overtaken by Daradan Suiauthon. Suiauthon to Ture, who's back on his feet, albeit limping. Moogrug's not looking much better..."

"Ture kicks it to Luendesse, who kicks it in-"

"No goal! Muggflump pounces on it and stops the ball just outside the line. He throws it to Smarsh, who passes to Grarg on the other end of the pitch-"

"Intercepted! Tyalagan the Minstrel takes the ball and passes to Malsigil Maethor-"

"-but Grarg gets to it first! Back to Smarsh."

"Tyalagan goes for it- but Smarsh isn't going to let him have it! OH! The Minstrel's down! Smarsh goes for the goal - he's in the box-"

"-and Aredon Ionwe comes streaking out of left field and steals the ball! He kicks it to Swiftlight-"

"-who kicks it to Galdras-"

"-who is kicked in the shin by Lorgnutz in an attempt on the orc's part to get the ball, but thanks to his mithril greaves Luendesse looks unphased - he takes a shot-"

"Wide! Throw-in for Mordor..."

((...and here your author stupidly failed to save the game properly and accidentally deleted a huge bit of it. Yeah, sucks for me. I'm telling you, this thing will never never never be finished, alas alas alas. But you should still write reviews.))
