Orange is the new yellow

Today the Teams had a striking experience of how pervasive Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become. The input was simply to produce a ‘golden goal’ match. In a fraction of a second the data mining on each player was performed and the two teams formed. Unsurprisingly the score was a genuine, hardly fought 6-6 before going for the golden goal.

Courtesy of Victor, brand new double colour orange bibs made their appearance on the pitch: they are orange on the outside and black on the inside. If someone is unhappy about the score or feel they belong to the other team they can simply take them off, turn them inside out and instantly becomes a black bibbed player. This is what a versatile player is these days!

Besides, at the contact with water bibs turn into an inflatable life jacket, ideal if someone at the end of the match wants to go for a surfing ?‍♀️ warm down session on the pond. Just one of the many extra features of the new black and orange bibs.

Amazingly most of the fans on the stands were already wearing them: some of the them swear that in the most packed area they could even get orange juice! Thank you Victor.

The orange team was one man down and often on the ropes in defence like a dam about to be overflown by water before it collapses but his guardian, Paride, refused to give in the keys and rather enjoyed the multiple firing, thumping his own bare chest in between the many amazing saves.

Although the score didn’t show it, the Colours were so dominant that at one point a switch was proposed: Giancarlo to join the Colours in exchange for a striker to give Oranges fire power upfront. The deal failed as the Colours simply could not afford him: what they didn’t know is that a FD over 60 can add to his astronomical transfer price a retirement fee that makes current packages of the likes of Haaland and Mbappe just pocket money in comparison.

The Colours were constantly ahead but invariably they were caught back by the indomitable Oranges. The German- Egyptian Colours formation was always close to bury the Oranges under an avalanche of goals: Julian scored a superb hat trick coming from behind, Johannes with two was simply at par while Hossam and Tom added one each.

Always behind, the Oranges dug deep and always found the resources to come back into the game: Marco score the first, Francesco added an astonishing hat trick, two of which as a poacher, one applying the final touch after a midfield nutmeg against Johannes and the third from the penalty spot. Yassin scored a wonderful solo goal while Jeremy G added the one to take the game to golden goal.

It was only fitting that the game was sealed by Julian crowing a super game where he showed ability to create space, run non stop across the pitch and keep composure in front of goal. In any other game he would have secured the Man of the Match award, no question but today the hero was Paride. Without him it could have easily been a 17-6 score as he managed to keep the Oranges always in the game. When he was handed the trophy Paride said ‘Merci bien’. OMG! has he just been contacted by PSG to become their 10th keeper?!

At the end of the match a big argument arose between Francesco and Julian about whom will bring home the hat trick ball. Cutting it in half was not deemed to be a viable solution so they started to snatch it from it other with the end result shown in the photo. Sounds like we need a new ball for next Saturday.
