So the other goalie could have fought and not been kicked out?
Interesting. Down here, you are gone for fighting, and the tourney I was in kicked you out of the whole tourney, not just the next game.
FWIW, when I turtled, I did get my revenge. I went up to the guy after the game, in front of his wife and team, and offered to pay for a referee at a boxing gym so we could go 3 rounds as adults, legally, with no threat of being disqualified from playing or legal action by the other person. I said he could choose between 12 or 16 oz gloves, and regular boxing or kickboxing, but headgear was not optional.
I'm guessing that it was tougher for him to have to be a wuss in front of his wife and decline my invitation (although it would have been even better if he had taken me up on it) than it was for me to take a few punches on the way to holding the trophy for our team picture.
