Several players from the Royal Raleigh Rotters Futbol and Parking Lot Keepaway Society were fortunate enough to attend the "international friendly" match between the U.S. and Jamaican national teams last night. The sold-out game was played at the SAS soccer center, directly adjacent to the extremely large field where the Rotters experienced a crushing defeat last Fall at the hands of the cardiovascularly superior Daytrippers.
The Rotters were delighted to find a spiritual equal in Jamaican Reggae Boyz goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. Ricketts, a ridiculously tall and gangly fellow, took it upon himself to underhandedly stop play by employing Rotter-esque tactics on at least two separate occasions: once by "accidentally" tossing the ball out of the sidelines and into the stands, and then again later by falling down on the field and writhing in dramatic agony -- only to bounce back up seconds later and flash a grin at the crowd behind the net.
Let's hear it for Donovan Ricketts -- Yard Balla and Reggae Rotter!
