Despite some of the top players on the MexEx team having been issued yellow cards in previous matches, wages have been placed on this outstanding lineup to triumph and rise as winners of the international Whirled Cup.

The US team arrived safely at the hacienda retreat to relax and meet with their Mexican counter parts. Team leader, Señor Klose, whose name closely resembles Germany’s star Futbol striker, in the past would have been mistaken for DaVinci’s rendition of Christ, his current reincarnation reposes that of a modern day conquistador flanked not with sword but with flamenco guitar, has chosen an extraordinary cast of players to go for the gold.

MexExers had to contend with penalties and injuries that jeaporadized their whole team from advancing to the finals. Late tardies to practice, bad attitudes towards teammates, and general malaise threatened to pull the team apart. After a few of the top MexEx players were issued yellow cards, it seemed there was no hope for them to move forward.

After much official deliberations, the final word came down from the top presidente of the federation, Don Ayers, that the team would go on.

In the first few rounds, it seemed the team had failed to step up and play better than average ball. However, as the days progressed, it became clear even to estranged onlookers of this somewhat ostentatious team, they may still have what it takes to win the cup.

The final match of the international Whirled Cup will not be televised nor will the revolution in Mexico, but stay tuned for the rebroadcast that will certainly be hotly contested and may even entertain a few headbutts.
