It's over. In a match that mirrored our season, the team had a first half to forget, and a superhero named Son Heung-min who turned things around in the second half and made us believe in miracles. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, and PKs went to Vancouver. Not to be outdone, we decided that maybe if we livestream long enough, we can change reality. In the end, our own extra time meant nothing. But it was still a good time.
