Alright, I've cooled off a bit now. Testing for this match was a nightmare, I was able to find this or that setup that would be able to win the match for us, but it was incredibly inconsistent, and signs were pointing towards a probable defeat, as at some point I was having a 25% loss rate in matches we were scoring the first goal, versus a 0% win rate in matches where they were scoring the first one. What I did notice however was that we were twice as likely to score first, so I used that to formulate a plan. I used strongly offensive tactics from the start of the match, with the intent of scoring and then switching to a preset I found wasn't conceding more than two goals a match (but itself wasn't a strong enough preset to win matches reliably, draws were more likely so I wanted to start using it with an advantage on the scoreboard). I would have switched to the slurping preset even if I had conceded, because I wanted to control the flow of goals (testing the same setup can yield you a 5-1 win just as easily as a 5-1 loss) and not give them the chance to score more, to eventually force a comeback towards the end of the match. But that wasn't necessary, as we did open the score, and the semen slurping preset was functioning wonderfully.
Until the red card. I actually thought we were going to lose that game, and with the score even and /who/ having the kickoff in the second half, it seemed unrecoverable. But the girls played the match of their lives and brought some extremely vital three points.
Our next match will be against /nijiEN/ next Sunday, and will be the last match of the entire group stage. We'll know for sure how many points we need to advance, but we'll chase the win.
