Splish Splash Football: Sakon FC looses to Roi Et FC

It had been raining steady since 4 AM.
At times the rains got so heavy I was hoping it was not going to turn out like the floods of 2008.

By noon the rains stopped, but dark clouds remained for the rest of the day.
Dark clouds seemed to just hang there without moving.

Really thought they would reschedule the game, then I remembered where I am.
Light drizzle throughout the afternoon.  But it stopped by 6 PM game time.

     

The water on the field was quite obvious.

    

Yeah they were slipping and a sliding.  At least players didn't need water bottles to rinse off.
During the first half there was a lot of pushing and shoving by some Roi Et players, which really should have been penalized.
Made me wonder if the Ref was on the Roi Et payroll.

    

Roi Et quickly took the lead in the first half.
There were only three minutes between the second and third goal.
Sakon FC tried hard to score during the second half, but all they got was half a dozen close calls.
Real groaners.
The fans were a real surprise during the second half.
Even though the team was down, cheers got louder and more intense during the second half
