Team Ponyville wins!

00:16:52,577 --> 00:16:54,679
It says very clearly
on page six forty-seven
364
00:16:54,712 --> 00:16:57,049
of the expanded buckball
tournament rules that
365
00:16:57,082 --> 00:16:59,551
"a goal is scored when an
earth pony sends the ball
366
00:16:59,584 --> 00:17:02,687
into a basket," but it
doesn't say which basket.

If that goal is
ours, it's only 2-1

I know. But I told you,
you didn't need to.

the whole sportify

It's throw in the towel,

You can't just give up.
394

Wind and Sky deserve
a pony they both like
395
00:18:14,526 --> 00:18:17,395

wants to "rethink" things,

her to the lunch.

It's beating her

And it's barely a
sports reference.
399
00:18:23,701 --> 00:18:25,537
How do you not know that?
400
00:18:25,570 --> 00:18:32,111
Because I don't know
anything about sports!
401
00:18:33,311 --> 00:18:36,181

just made things worse.

stop pretending.

terrible at sports.

slow, weak...

OK, again, not really
making me feel better.

Why do you like him?

Because he's kind and smart

seem to care about him,

he just wants you to like him.
