Club Rivalries

NOTE: I have respect for all managers playing and hold nothing against anyone in anyway. Any club rivalries named can be seen as competitive rivals since they have played a major part in our clubs history.

DFC Unill - Unbeaten Winners of League in Season 9, Level 9 which we ended up finishing a distant second to that season. We were unable to beat this team despite having greater quality.
Batigo United - Asian scout buyer club that reinforces his team with scouts every season and knocked us out of the Champions League in L12 beating us in both games 2-1 (4-2 on aggregate).
Unbeatable FC - A club that managed to turn over our strong power trained side in L13 on 2 occasions firstly us losing 3-1 at home and a draw 1-1 in the away fixture.
Batsova Maala - Name is written in bulgarian text and they are a strong team that beat us twice in the new version of the RR Cup since the format change, They do have a good tactical manager and this does make them a tough team to beat and they overturned our 2-0 away lead from the first leg to beat us on away goals by winning 4-2 against us at home. The other occasion they won both legs 5-2 and 2-1 but were much stronger than the time we lost by away goals.
El Capo FC - El Capo have become one of our more recent rivals since we reached the top of our server, They have used personal trainer on numerous occasions to try and match us on quality. Winning a Cup Last 16 tie, Cup Semi-Final tie, Cup + CL Final. However more recently El Capo beat us in the Cup to end our 3 season winning streak.
ΟΦΗ (OFI) - A Greek team that uses unusual and attacking formations that are difficult to play against despite their teams overall quality and he has used it to some success, Our First 2 matches in a Cup Semi-Final ended in heavy wins for ΟΦΗ, Before we came out on top in both legs of a CL Semi-Final and last season we won and drew our league games and won the Cup final against them.

Current Status of our Rival Clubs:

Batsova Maala are now a level below us and we believe Unbeatable FC are at least 2 levels below us but I have not seen DFC Unill since S9/L9, They possibly could of went defunct or changed name or dropped 1 or 2 levels behind us since then.

Batigo United are now defunct.

Teams We Have Respect For
erster FC Puma - We do not see this team as a rival to us in any shape or form but they are a friend club of our team and on the old cup format we have had many duels with them in the cup, they used to batter and bruise us every time we played them until there was a power shift between us when we won on away goals to advance to our first cup final which we won, we have been stronger than erster FC Puma ever since and hopefully soon we will play at the same league level as this team. They do not buy any tokens. When we started T11, They were 6 levels higher than us.
Fc RonnyBonny - A team with a active manager who watches every game who is still on the same level as us on our server, we met in a CL Semi-Final at L15 and he came out determined unlike any other manager out there that seems to throw in the towel, we won 1-0 at home in the first leg and the second leg we won 3-2 and he scored twice to level up the tie on aggregrate but we progressed 4-2. But I have a lot of respect for this team and manager who came out trying their best to upset the odds to turn us over.
LIVERPOON FT - They were the club that denied us the Champions League in L18 but they put in a performance that deserved to win to CL from us. They have many league/CL titles and how promoted every level like us with a highly active manager, so we have respect for them as well as maintaining a bit of a rivalry with them. They are also in our L19 Champions League tournament, that makes it more interesting for both of us.
beta united - A good decent non-T buying team that we met in the Champions League final in L17.
LaFruta - Another one of our recent teams we have battled since reaching the top of our server, We have played them 5 times now, Winning 3 and Drawing 1 in 2 tight semi-finals as well as edging out to win a CL Final, They are one of our friend clubs.
OTTOMANS 1453 - Another strong opponent we have faced in the Cup on 2 occasions and made it very difficult for us drawing 3 of out of 4 meetings so far, We progressed on both occasions.

Current Status of our Respected Clubs:

erster FC Puma, Fc RonnyBonny, Beta United and LIVERPOON FT are all 3 levels below us, OTTOMANS 1453 and LaFruta are both in our league this season.

ERAS

Season 1-3: The Beginning, League Champions and Our First Champions League

The early days of July Fourth were very difficult and getting the team competitive in the early days was not easy. There was lack of $ available and we didn't have a lot of Tokens to play with, We had a average squad and a mid-table position at the club when we took over, we had a young 5* Fenton Morrow, 4* ST James Schofield and a young 4* Swedish free-kick taker I can't remember his name though. Early on James Schofield got an injury and we had to go into the transfer market for a player, we bought a chilean 3* ST Eztebe Mendibe who turned out to be one of the best signings the club will ever make, He basically worked hard and scored important goals that lead us to the title on the last day of the season. S2 had pretty much the same problems as S1, we didn't have much $ to spend and whatever $ we made on prize money and any player sales in early S2 when onto buy an 18 year old 5* striker on the transfer market, Stacey Papaleo (Senior.), the first and the original version of the player. That was enough to win us the title along with most of the current first team squad to win us the title ahead of a good determined all-around Atletico Industr by 5 points but we lost the CL final that season to a stronger team 2-0. The third season seen us sign Neil Mappin, Dana Mihnea and Eidur Yilmaz with the funds we had available at the start of the season, after losing the 2 first 2 games in the season, we preformed well after the new signings took time to fit in. Once we got our act together we were able to win the clubs first double by winning our first champions league that season with a good 3-1 win.

Season 4-6: The Invincibles and Champions League Final Disappointments

The next 3 seasons at July Fourth marked our 2nd era at the club, Now armed with many $ in prize money now and also lots of T after the discovery of token farming, we were able to make major signings at our club abd bring in some 6* scouts for the first time, we signed players like Yossi Benayoun, Lee Brown, Alex McLeod and Alexandre Maccarone. We were easily the best team in the league and the CL at this stage but the success in both tournaments were contrasting, In the league we managed to go unbeaten for 3 seasons but in the CL we lost the final in all 3 occasions against weaker teams each time. twice on penalties after 2-2 draws and another 2-0 loss. In S5 we came closest to the 26-0-0 but never achieved it because on day 3 of the season I logged into the game at 12pm UK time and our first game kicked off at 9am and it ended in a 2-2 draw, we went on to win the remaining 25 league games that season. In L6 we managed to defeat a L9 team in the cup home and away before losing against L11 in a surprise semi-final appearance.

Season 7-8: Holding the Guard: Champions League Winners and a HUGE loss

We still had many funds to buy new players and we used lots of farmed tokens to strength existing players in the team by the personal trainer method here, we didn't discover power training yet, We were not as strong as the Invincibles of S4-6 because of this and we lost against a Thai Team early in S7 ending a 86 league unbeaten run. Yossi Benayoun and Stacey Papaleo Sr. Were both given quality boosts when I really should of bought scouts and had tokens left over and Sold those 2 players on. Our main signings Andy Goran and Frank Saunders both were disappointments and we lost games in the league both seasons and were good enough still to win the league still to have 8 titles in our first 8 seasons of playing the game, In the champions league we finally recaptured the title in S7 by going 13-0-0 in the CL for the first time but in S8 we learned our biggest footballing lesson and it started a small dark period at the club. We lost 5-0 in the Champions League Final.

Season 9: Disappointment - Our First Trophyless Season

We didn't have many tokens left over from farming and we decided not to make a single signing for S9. The proved to be a bad decision, despite being the strongest team in the league by quality still we got off to a bad start of the season and a team named DFC Unill kept winning all the time and broke clear, eventually in the second half of the season the wins picked up and we secured CL football for S10 in R25, DFC Unill were not even one of the strongest teams by Quality but for some reason they kept winning games everyday and nobody could beat them and they stayed well clear on 23-3-0, we eventually finished runners-up and the CL was disappointing as well since we lost against another weaker team in the Quarter-Finals. We also lost against L6 in the cup that season with being L9. A dark season.

Season 10-12: Resurgence: Triple League Champions and Back to Back Champions League Wins

We saved up tokens during Season 9 due to not buying a single player that season. Therefore we had plenty of tokens since farming returned to give us hundreds of tokens. July Fourth were once again able to make big signings in this era, Colin Palin, Juan Ignico Henriquez, Lorenzo Hernandez, Danny Maynard, Patricio Lopez, Stefan Ertl, Santiago Trinios and Alvaro Quero were our big names in this era and they were amazing players, July Fourth recovered from S9 by going through the league undefeated in S10 by setting an all-time club conceded record of 4 goals all season which still stands today. We also started to do well in the Champions League by winning both S10 and S11 but lost against rivals Batigo United in the Semi-Final in S12 which so far with S9 is the only other time we failed to reach the final. In S11 and S12 leagues we beat strong opponents that pushed us to the title on both occassions. The cup saw some more success, seeing us Semi-Finalist in S10 and S12, but in S11 we beat a stronger team to reach our first final but our opponents were 3 levels higher than us and were better prepared and we were unable to perform a miracle performance and eventually lost 4-0 against erster FC Puma.

Season 13-17: The Golden Age: 8* & 9* Players, Power Training and the 'treble' treble.

With the highest ranked teams in the cup coming back towards us and plenty of tokens on hand we decided at the start of S13, that we would buy lots of scouts and Power Train them, the scout list had a favourable list at the start of S13 and we filled our boots by taking the best 8 players off that list and train them as much as we could with 3,500T we bought, We managed to get 6 players to mid-tier 8* and also our 2 main strikers to 9*. Stacey Papaleo Sr. was sold at the beginning of S13 at 3*73 age 29 and the cup preliminary that season was the players testimonial in which the player scored before being sold after the game. But one of the new scouts that was power trained became Stacey Papaleo Jr. and reached 9* along with Alex Zidane in S13, Roy Holvoet, Kevin Mensah, Ludek Novotny, R.McNamara, P.McNamara and L.McNamara were 8*. This team were able to go on our second longest unbeaten run in the league in history with 81 games another unbeaten run of 45 league games was to follow afterwards, A squad selection mistake at the start of S13 caused us to lose the first league game of that season and we didnt lose until R5 in S16. Our winning margin in the league in points in S13-S17 were as follows in order... 11-25-25-20-13, We won the league in S15 with 7 games still to play that season. The Cup success with power training was the main success, beating stronger teams in the semi-final by 4-4 on away goals and the final on penalties in S13, S14 was similar with a 4-3 aggregate win in the semi-final and a 2-1 win in the final after being a goal down, S15 was much easier we won the cup with 13-0-0 with a 5-0 win in the final, The CL we only lost 1 game in S15 in the group stage and were 13-0-0 in S13 and S14 and unbeaten in S16 and S17, we even won the CL after being Group runners-up in S15. We won all 5 Champions Leagues and Leagues between S13-17. In Season 14 we were unbeaten in all 3 competitions, the only time that occured in the clubs history. There was no Cup Success in S16 and S17 because of the new Nordeus Royal Rumble Format were everyone is around the same quality as us and most teams were higher levels and active and they didn't need to buy tokens to become stronger than us by quality because of their higher level status. Two more 9* players were trained in S16 for the Michu vs Miku Project. July Fourth won a total of 13 trophies between S13 and S17 inclusive.

At the end of L17 with a poor performance in the 3-2 win in the CL Final against beta united we declared this as the end of this particular era. At the end of S17 we equalled the 8 straight league titles won in S1-8 with the 8 titles won between S10-17.

Season 18-20: Back to the Pack and the unexpected treble

With less money available to continue to strength our team and progression through the levels and a change of setiment from the manager and the July Fourth board coupled with a difficult draw with many active managers including teams less than 5Q lower than July Fourth for the first time since S9 and last seasons disappointing performance in the CL final, its clear that July Fourth are entering a new era, July Fourth are coming back to the pack and a difficult period for the club lies ahead. But with still some good quality players remaining at the club from previous seasons power training we expect some success but it will be difficult. In S18 July Fourth managed to win the league unbeaten after a shaky start to the season that had 4 draws in the 10 games and the CL campaign was good but ended disappointingly as we lost the final on penalties. In S19 the CL draw was similar to S18 with 10Q covering all 32 teams in the entire draw so more difficulty for the club. Despite tough draws during S19 July Fourth performed well all season winning 3 competitions, Beating rivals Batigo United to the league title, defeating scout buyer vito6a in the CL Semi-Final before beating gunners in the final and the Cup run just continued after beating 6 higher level clubs before beating buducnost in final to win the Cup for the first time in the RR Cup era. S20 at the club was another successful one for the club, With a relatively easy league draw on paper and we didn't start well with 3 draws in the first 4 games, July Fourth finished the season unbeaten and saw off the unexpected challenge of rogue NAMO UNITED who used sly tactics such as power support and match fixing against a alt account in the league and in the Champions League despite losing 2 games in the group stage July Fourth went on to win the title with superb displays in the knockout stages including a 4-0 win over Ilknur ve Ozgur in the final. July Fourths RR Cup title defense ended in disappointment with losing on away goals in the second round.

Season 21-23: Platinum Age Part I: The shark tank entry, 26-0-0 and the new young revolution

S21 saw a start of a new revolution at the club, many former squad players have left and this season saw a large number of young 5* players bought at the beginning of the season. They have all been developed to fit in the squad and we now have a team ready for the long term, Our RR Cup draw found that research conducted on day 3 of the season means that we were placed in the "Shark Cup" for the first time and we also worked out we were only 2 league levels off the top level on our server. This new S21 8* revolution squad brought us our finest league season in history by completing the long awaited 26-0-0 we have been seeking for many seasons in a tough league that contained our rivals Batigo United and GZIRAUTDMALTA who likes to use a lot of power support and priprema who have a active manager that is well respected for tactical ability, against all odds July Fourth finally won all 26 games in a league season, The next season in S22 July Fourth followed it up with another unbeaten league season and won both the Champions League's in S21 and S22 as expected... Although in S23 July Fourth built their strongest ever team including FIVE 9* players it wasn't a good season for July Fourth as "Troll Mourinho" helped a FC Barcelona team upset July Fourth in the Champions League and also July Fourth fell 1 game short at 85 league games unbeaten of matching the club record when they lost to les guerriers in the beginning of the S23 league season, July Fourth did win the league still and made a respectable semi-final appearance in the shark cup meaning that they have become one of the server giants.

S24-S26: Platinum Age Part II: Best Team On The Server, Another 3 Trebles and Undefeated Season

July Fourth in S24 risen to the status of being labelled the highest quality on the server, Now it was time for July Fourth to go ahead and win the Shark RR Cup for the first time, At first it seemed like July Fourth were struggling to live up to the label with struggling in the group stage in the CL and finished 2nd in the group and almost suffered a shock elimination from the Cup against JuventusFloresti, But July Fourth got their act together and found form to reach both the Cup and CL Finals, Both Finals were one sided affairs and large victories of 9-1 and 8-1 respectively and that went with another unbeaten league season in S24. The following season was even more victorious for July Fourth, They reached both Cup and CL Finals once again without too much danger from being eliminated in either competition except when Jon Utd gave July Fourth a tough test in the 3rd round of the Cup and LaFruta give July Fourth a game in each of the 4 matches of both semi-finals in each of the competitions, July Fourth then beat El Capo in both finals and also won the league title once more in S25 to remain the best team on the server. The Following Season S26 saw July Fourth once again repeat one of the most remarkable feats that can be accomplished, They went another campaign undefeated in all 3 competitions (Other occasion back in L14/S14) but were pushed all the way by ΟΦΗ in the league as well as LaFruta making it tough for us in the CL Final for only us to score the late winner from Chano Petersen to grab our 7th treble.

S27: Platinum Age Part III: Seventh Heaven Season

After winning the 7th Treble the previous season, The club renamed itself to "Seventh Heaven" for the 2nd Anniversary and attempted to win another treble while the squad was strong on paper, However our season looked in Jeopardy midway through, ΟΦΗ ended our unbeaten run at 77 games in all competitions and El Capo defeated us in the Quarter-Final of the Cup (And went onto win the competition), Seventh Heaven however were stuck in a hard battle with El Capo in the league and won it on the final days round of fixtures, Something that we have not had to do since S12, The CL was a tricky ride to the final, But wins over El Capo in the Semi-Final and a 2-2 draw against LaFruta in the Final caused a penalty shootout, The club previously lost its last 3 CL Final penalty shoutouts, But this time we were not to be denied as club legend Miku struck the winning penalty to win the CL to ensure our Seventh Heaven season ended in a memorable double after a tough season.
