**The December 16th Incident**, sometimes referred to as the **Oxford-Sodacans Dilemma** was an event that took place during the 2nd RIFA Cup. The match took place at 7:30 PM UTC on the 16th of December 2023.

### Prelude

The RIFA Cup, or simply RIFA, is an event takes place during mid-December of a calendar year. Before the match, The Sodacans suffered an infamous defeat to Oxford, losing 4-2. Subsequently they were forced to play a revanche match against Arab United, winning 4-0. They would be forced to play again against Oxford. However, cracks in the event had begun to show as Ant, the goalkeeper of Oxford, got a red card. This red card was swiftly overturned but some decisions in all the matches leading to December 16th had seen controversy.

### The First Cracks

The Game was set to start at 8:00 PM UTC, however due to the Bulgariancord Team forfeiting due to not arriving, the game would be held 30 minutes earlier. As the server was setting up, an unknown individual(s) began to grief the stadium, causing the trusses to fall and be on fire, causing chaos and panic around the stadium. After this, it would be undone and redone a few times until Kaas would jail everyone, trying to find the perpetrator. He then locked the stadium with a barrier, but some people would manage to get in. This would apperantly include Ant and other unknown persons. Suddenly, Ant would be banned off the game, causing disarray, mainly with the Oxford Team. Frantically, they put Ryan in the goalkeeper position, however without reserves. It would be a nightmarish challenge.

### The Game

Initially, everything would begin to go smoothly, after a rocky fiasco leading up to the match. Oxford and Sodacans would receive penalty after penalty until Ryan would decide to switch with Kujawski, relating to the goalkeeper position. Next, due to unknown reasons (presumably, **-Kaas "Sodacans crowded first, then Oxford.")** *However no evidence has been shown yet that could substantiate this claim.*) Both Sodacans and Oxford were given penalties. Oxford would miss and Sodacans would utilize their penalty to get the lead.

### "Post Mortem"

After a few goals and a few debatable decisions. Sodacans would get a controversial 4-2 win, with Oxford Players, viewers, other players and even some of the Sodacans members themselves expressing their thoughts.

* **palmyrene (Sodacans player) "i won't even celebrate this victory" "i feel so bad for y'all, not because that y'all lost, but because of the way y'all were treated"**
* **hansdomenoobnub (OTFC player) "now he pulls up with this circus"**
* **canbeasty (OTFC player) "this (-) egotistic asshole, he needs to look in the mirror and ask himself "why did my parents raise such an ingorant (-) asshole that cant understand whats right and whats wrong"**
* **blemp (viewer) "RIFA is rigged for sodacans"**
* **Octavius (Arab FC captain) "soda is their favs"**
* **togo (presumably a Sodacans player) "also 3 unfair crowds:"**
* **nutsack9000 (player of arab united most likely) "BRUH" "WHAT DID I DO" "why did you kick me, bs" *(this took place during the match after this incident, no context has been received at this time)***

After the match, the RIFA discord server, specifically the general chat. Would melt down into a massive argument. With Kaas trying to control the situation and the OTFC players, some viewers and other players joining in, debating the controversial decisions. Kaas would eventually be forced to give timeouts to all OTFC Players, and possibly other viewers which joined in on the discord (this is not confirmed), along with some OTFC players being plot banned from the RIFA Hub / Campus, ending the situation at around 9:00 PM UTC.
