My monday night team doesn't realize it yet, but we have begun the death spiral.

I love everyone on the team and we are really good together, but the implosion is coming soon. I've been here before and I know how it ends. I've seen it four times now actually. Rufus (not his real name) and I are an absolutely perfect pairing. When we are on our game together teams just plain can't score on us. We have a very similar style and intuitively know what the other is going to do. If I move up he drops in and vice versa. When we're on, we actually play with no defensive backline at all. I'll play last man with him a few paces off and up and we'll still squeeze the other team out.

Unfortunately he has a temper. and a certain crybabyness. and it is infectious. It is usually in check and presents no problems. Once it pops up though it grows by leaps and bounds and while no one is looking it infects the rest of the team. I also have a temper. I work very hard to keep it in check and am successful 99.7% of the time while playing this game I enjoy. Unfortunately I'm usually the first one infected when Rufus hits the point of no return. I'm not going to let it happen to me this time around, but it will inevitably take this team down.

eh, it's time for a change anyway. probably.
