And the Academy Award Goes to....

And the academy award for best actor in a drama goes to…..

Oakland Goalkeeper, Paul Blanchette!

As a professional athlete in his thirties, I’m sure Paul is starting to think of what his next move could be. Do I go back to school and become a CPA? Do I get my coaching certifications and try and link up with the local middle school team? Or, do I audition for some local used car dealership commercials in an attempt to get my SAG card? Unfortunately, for Paul, I don’t believe that Juilliard will be calling him back after this performance.

It’s been almost a full three days since the match and I’m still incredibly annoyed at this one. Beyond the theatrics of Oakland’s keeper, Rhode Island left behind some points in this match. The chances were there, we just could not capitalize as a team.

Luckily, the players seemed to feel the exact same way after the match and I think they’ll channel that energy into a performance against Loudon. To the content!
