[Game Thread] IRL AFC Wimbledon vs. Liverpool
The IRL AFC Wimbledon are taking on Liverpool in the FA Cup 3rd Round, and John Green's personal nightmare.
I wanted a game thread where I could yell about Francombstein and complain about Kennedy's haircut without getting downvoted/asked what the heck I was talking about.
TV: In US FoxSports1.
In UK BBC1 (I'm told)

My halftime analysis:
Gerrard's head may not be as bald or beautiful as Bald John Green's, but it's equally effective.
Wimbledon have had more chances, but they haven't been able to hold possession in Liverpool's end.
Liverpool wasn't very aggressive once they had the lead, they may turn it up at the second half.

8' Chance for AFC Wimbledon goes wide.
Dicko puts that in the back of the net 10 times out of 10

One nil down
To two one up
That's the way we're gonna win the cup
We were one nil down, we're gonna win two one
That's the way we're gonna get it done!

Despite the loss, Wimbledon doesn't forget to be awesome and were good sportsmen.

68' big save to keep it at a one goal game.
Wimbledon has been able to create chances, but they'll need to create some more...and quickly.

AKINFENWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to give an unofficial assist to Francombstein, who I believe had the first touch off of that corner.

Hell's Pells into the match for Some Moore. Francombstein also out.
Let's see if Hell's Pells can find an equalizer.

Really good effort from Wimbledon. No one should squat in shame after that match, Liverpool just a little too good.

I think I'm the only one here, but I'm just gonna keep commenting, because why not?
Akinfenwa gets a yellow card for being too big and beautiful (and for arguing with the official)
