As a fan we would like our teams to be machine like.
Dominant from minute one.
Dispatch teams with ease and for as long as we live.
Alas, the players are only human beings.
As godlike as they might seem at times they are doomed to forever make mistakes.
They are susceptible to age, injuries, fear, and their personal lives effecting their play.
Knowing this makes continued sporting success all the more impressive.
