What a beautiful day, the birds are singing the weather is fantastic and I was actually up the crack of dawn (thanks Dawn!) for an early morning run down by the river. Today is also a very special day for the Bern Yong Boys as they are playing against Sion in the final of the Swisscom Cup at 15:00, so I will be down in Bundenbergplatz in the centre to watch the game on the big video screen. Unfortunately I did not get my VIP tickets this time, but then I can watch the game in the sun as the VIP section of the stadium is in the shade (bad design).
They bloody lost, can you 'Adam & Eve' it?
This was a terrible terrible result, a bit of misfortune but on the whole Young Boys did not show any flare or real desire to win. After they scored the first goal, which was a beauty, they went to sleep and were caught off guard with a long ball straight down the middle and a one to one situation between a stricker for Sion and a YB's defender. Well this was clearly not a foul, but more of a situation of 2 players both colliding with the each other and the ball. But the referee thought better and showed the red card to the YB's defender and off he went. So within the first 15 minutes there was a goal and a YB's player off the pitch. Now down to 10 players this was the road to nowhere. Their team spirit was lost, the pressure was mounting and the 1-0 lead was under threat, so much so that the game completely turned around and Sion from this moment on dominated the game. Better play, better passing and far more constructive and composed. This was a sad sight as everyone sensed this and rather than take evasive action, the coach did not seem to adjust the play and YB's play was terrible, a real 'lack luster'. Well half time came and the scored stayed at 1-0, but not for long, as Sion equalised early into the second half leaving YB's fighting to stay in the game. This was a hard battle from then onwards and they were lucky not to conceed any more. Well the full time whistle blew and it remained 1-1 and this meant 15 minutes each way extra time. Still no result, although YB's had a couple of near chances, but nothing too exciting, not like the blunder the YB's goal keeper nearly made in normal play!
The dreaded penalties were looming and one mistake and it was goodnight Vienna... Well that mistake was made and by whom?............, yes you guest it YB's, so they lost out on a cup final that was theirs to take. At home with a home crowd of supporter and leading 1-0, but as we say in England 'It's a funny old game!' and anything can happen. So the bad luck and bad play has be haunting YB's for the past few games, so they went into this Cup Final on a loosing streak.
Also, Jun Shi did not play at all, so as you can see from my face I'm very very disappointed.....better luck next year! Maybe if I had a VIP ticket they would have won?
PS I think I will go and eat my chocolate bunny and drown my sorrows!
