When I woke up today I didn't have anything to do so I decided to give it another try at the Strikers Cup, yesterday I said I was going to play it, well, I did but I was eliminated in the first Knockout Round, and as it was already too late and I was really sleepy I went to bed.

But this morning it was very different, I played 9 games in order to qualify to the Knockout Rounds, I lost my first one but I managed to win the following eight matches, so I got 1st place. In the Knockout Rounds I defeated Daisy, Diddy and Yoshi by surprisingly large margins and finally my best-of-three series against Petey started.

During the first game I was up 2-0 with one minute to go but I think I kind of relaxed and Petey tied the score, we then went to sudden death and I lost because my Goalie wasn't able to block a silly shot! I was really mad because I had blown a huge and comfortable lead, but I guess that in a game like this one you can't do that or you will get punished.

The second match started with Petey pulling off a Mega-Strike, I blocked three of the four balls that were fired towards my Goalie, but after one minute my team scored three more goals, one of them by Dry Bones teleporting into the goal and I got the win and I was heading to the win or go home game.

For my total despair Petey scored two goals just at the beginning of the game, I was already thinking "Ok, here I go again, getting this far just to lose to this stupid plant!". After those two goals I made a Mega-Strike butthe Goalie defended all shots,but somehow I pulled myself together and scored a goal, but I was still traling by one so with 5 seconds on the clock I once again teleport into the goal therefore tying the game. Then sudden death started and after about a minute my Toad fired his special shot, a fiery ball, that usually just burns the Goalie, and it miraculously went in!! I won!!!

I'm so happy, now in this last week of vacation I can try to get a good rank Wi-Fi because this week I've just been trying to finish the game, there are still some challenges to beat but I'll try them later, now I want to enjoy victory for a while! Just a question, what is Petey and Birdo's gender?
