White's getting two pawns for the piece, so it's not that much of a sacrifice. This will severely test the Black team's defensive abilities - often one defensive mistake means the game is over, whereas the attacker can usually make a few not-optimal moves before the attack fizzles out, leaving them material down.

Our turn, last time I got a chance to play I had to defend a pawn.
No pawns to defend this time so I sac a Bishop.
