When the game ended at 14:00 it was obvious that Warsaw had not only won the day but the game. However, on both days as NATO commander I can honestly say that every player under my command never gave up on the outcome of the game. Both sides fought hard for every minute of the clock and every inch of ground. The play was honorable, the referees were incredible and on the ball all weekend long. But most of all everyone had a great time on and off the field. During the closing ceremonies both generals gave out several awards to recognize outstanding players and teams. There were smiles all around. Not one player on either side really cared who won or lost because they got to play their favorite sport with friends both old and new. Stories were told and tales of heroism were shared. When the final points total was read it included the all the numbers for the game. For me as a player, General and manufacturer in the sport these are awesome stats and something all fields should strive to match or beat.
