Sometimes losing is a win

The guy who scores the first goal (a minute or so in) in this video, Emmanuel Garcia, is one of the better roller hockey players on the planet. We also became good friends over in Colombia during the 1999 schoolboys' world championships.



We had to lose to Argentina by less than 10 goals in order to go through to the next round. After a few minutes Emmanuel had scored 3 and we were looking like we were in trouble. I came on and marked him for the rest of the game. He only scored one more goal that game. We lost 6-0 and made it through.
