In stark contrast to the stirring 105-degree Marin triumph orchestrated with precision by the Fantastic Eleven in Sacramento's hostile climate in 2008, the Sacto game started off in a state of chaos.
Marin committed a season's worth of dropped balls and missed ground balls in a single half. Joe Rosenbaum, who has been known to outperform the Dyson Airmuscle, was reportedly trying to pad his GB numbers by repeatedly picking the ball up and laying it back down on the run, almost like a soccer dribble.
The train got back on the tracks in the second half, the ball managed to stay in our sticks and find its way into the back of the Sacramento net pretty consistently.
