Revos fall to Nauru

In a heated battle for the top spot in group two, the Revos fell to Nauru in the fourth quarter. Up by a few points going into the forth, Nauru scored a quick goal to start. Within a few points then, Nauru was awarded a questionable call in the square which they easily converted. It seemed downhill from there - calls against the US and no calls against Nauru. In the end, the Revolution held their head high and played hard aggressive footy. The game was hard fought, and at times over the edge aggressiveness by Nauru which went uncalled.

Humor entered the game late in the fourth quarter when Revo Dan Sarbacker was fouled by the 50-meter line. On going back with the ball, his defender gave him a "whose your mothers hows your father?" to his rear end, perhaps too close - as the umpire and crowd all saw a hand go where it should not. Sars yelled to the ref "keep his hand out of my butt!" - the ref did nothing and the defender smiled - perhaps enjoying it too much.
