What I Did to Track That Wild Palace vs Wolves Game
First thing yesterday morning, I thought checking that Crystal Palace vs Wolves match would be simple. Just fire up the phone, open my usual football app – easy, right? Wrong. Damn app updated overnight and looked totally different.
Okay, stayed calm. Found the “Live Matches” section buried under three menus now. Tapped on Palace vs Wolves finally. Then my WiFi crapped out! Router blinked red like a warning sign. Seriously? Kicked the damn thing lightly (felt good, not gonna lie) and the light turned green again. Connection stable? Better be.
Got back in. Missed the first 20 minutes already! Absolute chaos. Started scrolling franticly through the timeline feed. Needed to see every goal, every big moment.
Here’s how it went down, step by messy step:
- Saw Wolves scored first? Timeline showed Olise whipping in a free kick. Didn’t know who scored! Scrolled down like a madman. Found it: João Gomes stuck it in near post around 30 mins. My god.
- Then Palace equalized minutes later? Tapped on the goal update. Eberechi Eze with some slick footwork near the box, low shot. Looked smooth from the short clip they had.
- Second half started. Hungry now. Ordered pizza – big mistake. Doorbell rings right when I see another Wolves goal alert! Cunha this time. Threw some cash at the delivery guy, slammed the door. Pizza smells distracting.
- Back to the feed. Palace answered! Mateta chests it down, smashes it home. Felt like a ping-pong match in those minutes. My timeline feed exploding with notifications. Heart racing, stomach rumbling.
And then the drama. Wolves got a penalty? Timeline said foul on Cunha. Checked the clip. Looked soft, but hey, ref pointed. Wolves missed it! Keeper saved or hit the post, feed wasn’t clear. Pure confusion. Kept refreshing the app, pissed me off.
Last 10 minutes felt like an hour. Palace pushing, Wolves defending like mad. My phone buzzing constantly. Then, deep in stoppage time – Palace breakaway… shot blocked! Final whistle. 2-2. What a ride.
Took me ages scrolling up and down that janky timeline feed to piece the whole thing together. App kept freezing. Pizza gone cold. Honestly, tracking every goal felt harder than some of these players running for 90 minutes. Worth it? For that rollercoaster? Yeah, kinda. Would I do it exactly the same way again? Hell no. Next time, different app. Or just watch the damn highlights.
