It’s no surprise that Atletico Ottawa has risen to the top of the league…
You see back in the day in Spain, men of high standing were curious of the goings on past the Atlantic ocean. They heard of a commotion that was taking place in the Dominion of Canada. But they were horrified to hear of the heresy… that is the Canadian Premier League. A schism had taken place and they intended to correct this folly.
In their eyes it was sacrilege what was happening in what the folks here called soccer. So they amassed a Spanish armanda and sailed to this land to punish those that dared to blasphemy the holy sport that they worshiped. A Spanish Inquisition was far overdue they shouted.
They reached the capital and staked a flag on the shores of the Ottawa river, claiming the area as their own. They took control of the local team to fix this disorder. This so called athletic pursuit, but the locals can’t even spell it by the correct word. Atletico will mold these men in their image.
And for those that do not honor their code of soccer, they will be harshly punished. They have a watchful eyes on the many renegades in this land. Those that do not promptly change their ways will soon regret the path they have chosen.
They plan to reign this league with a firm grip. The sinners of soccer will be dealt with soon enough. They are suspicious of this team in Hamilton, the champions of this league. But they ask, how did they manage this feat?
The clerics have whispered of what has come to pass. The murmurs are getting louder. They say that Hamilton has fallen into the hands of some kind of evil. They say Hamiltonions worship the flame of the Forge.
The hammer and anvil are not tools of the innocent and pure. No! Not at all, they are tools of the devil!
In the shadows of the flame of the Forge they perform dark rites and sing incantations. This flame must be from hell itself! They must be excommunicated. These ursurpers to the thrown of the league should be banished from their high perch. They should be pushed back to the deep pit where the vile beast lives. Here is where they were baptized in service of their dark master.
It can’t be that they win with ease in the playoffs. Whether by hook or by crook they arrive in the final year after year.
And crooked it certainly is, Forge will not hesitate to win by any means necessary. They have tainted the purity of the Canadian Premier League’s trophy.
Offer them the blessed bread and they decline this holy offering. But the devil’s bowl does not repulse them. They walk a path in the dark woods for this. And these ravenous supporters devour hot dogs with gluttonous ferver. Who knows what rancid meat it is derived from? Some whisper that they savor only the flesh of men. No words in any language can describe the depravity that they are capable of.
Atletico will defend their holy cause and pray for the lost souls of this league.
Ottawa versus Hamilton, foes face each other in a cataclysmic clash. You may bear witness to the very pillars of earth being shakened. Mark your calendar, for this might be judgement day. The revelation and the seventh seal broken open…
For this may be the fall of mankind…
