The prompt I chose for this week's blog post is "What sports team has disappointed you?" Recently my favorite soccer team, Manchester City, was eliminated from the Champions League. They had dominated the Premier League all year long. In the first leg of the Champions League they got blown out by Salah and Liverpool. The score was 3-0. I watched this game and could honestly not comprehend what was occurring. I expected Manchester City to win by 3, not lose by 3. They also lost the Manchester Derby which was extremely disappointing. The Manchester Derby is Manchester United and Manchester City play each other. In the second leg of the champions League which is when Liverpool and Manchester City play again. The aggregate score was 3-0 going into the game. Manchester City needed a 3 or more goal differential to advance into the semifinals. Of course they scored first giving me a lovely layer of false hope. They lost to the hands of Salah and Liverpool. They did not advance.
Recently my team has been extremely disastrous. Last year they were one of the worst teams and it was very hard to cheer for them. recently it has been extremely difficult because they did not advance in the most important games of the year. I have learned not to set my hopes too high because I would probably will be underwhelmed. As any sad fan would say, There is always next year.
