FM came to to a quick tie and well in control score at 1/2 was tied at 4. The fourth seen a sudden change as FM got it rolling and did they winning the 4th 2 to 0 and early 5th another 2 to lead by 4 @ 8 to 4 but the Bad Boys were not convinced they were done Costi and Jason became 10 goal of horror for FM as they swept both sides of the field with Ben stopping everyone he got to and Santi sending the pill it was RH soon in command and with exactly 1 minute 34 seconds which means 1 minute Costi delivered the final blow making it 9 to 8 and RH headed to Paradise on Sunday. This was probably a huge UPSET but it was the best Polo this year.
Game 2 a bit the same how were 2 60 yr. old + players going to deal with young guns of Klentner Ranch. There is a theory that experience is undervalued look at Manning in Super Bowl . Worst of all is do not forget they were young and they remember when they began to get beat and why. Speed is not a problem for older players or race car drivers, stopping turning taking off these are problems Speed not with these 2 Henry Walker has run wide open more than any 10 goal player alive , not always because he wanted to but he knew when he got there someone would have a problem and they did, Francisco was once 8 goals he knows Polo and he knows he can cause problems all day and he did so many times. This changes the game and that is what FMTOO did make it a game for them and they did it well old men eliminating for Juniors to score and they did. It was a fantastic game as well on a decent field so they head to the finals with Big Ben and RH Should be a good one doubt it will match first semi but lets hope it does.
Polo around North America East Coast Open 8 teams with Audi defending champ starting on feature Sunday. It could be one of the best tournaments with American players in years .
