My Biggest Victory in a League!!!

[iL FaLCoNe]

So, I was knocked out from the CL today, although I won 1-0. My team is much better than the other team, but somehow he managed to win 2-0 at 1st leg (Don't ask me why). So, he realized that my team is better than his and played with a very defensive formation (5-4 (2DMC 2MC )- 1) .. I couldn't score more than 1.

The other match was also so important. I'm the second in my league (13-0-2), one of the teams that I lost against is the which I played against today. He is the third in the league. Fortunately, I won 3-1.

Tomorrow I have a very difficult match in the cup against a Fifth level team (I'm a 3rd level team). His midfield and attack are much better than mine, but his defence and goalkeeping are slightly weak. I won the 1st leg (4-1), but tomorrow's match is much harder because it is an away match, and because he bought many strong players after the first match.

In cup good result for away game

wrong picture for league result

FC Kneipenkick could close the gap to 9 points behind the first because Dortmund only played 1-1 today. But this gap is too big. It is good that FCK could come back into the season after that strange start where nothing worked and we nearly tanked the season.

Meanwhile Troll F.C. has a horrible league form and is only 6th, but plays ok in the CL. Today in the CL 1/8 finals there Troll managed a 2-1 extra-time win after a 1-1 away draw. Troll played 3W-5-2 vs. 4-5-1 (5 quality points less), but the away side managed to score with a penalty (36.). Jungwirth (38.) could make the equalizer only two minutes later, but saw red in second half. So the match got very close and went into extra-time. There a freekick by Hansen (110.) decided the match for Troll, who faces a scout buyer in the next round. :s

Edit: The scout buyer duell ended with a 2-1 away win fot the weaker side. So Troll F.C.'s cup opponent has only 6 points more quality instead of 12. The CL results this year are really strange.

[July Fourth]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - LAST 16, 2ND LEG

July Fourth 0-0 Ersin FC

July Fourth win 4-0 on aggregrate
July Fourth 4-3W-1-2 then 2nd half 4-3W-3 - Ersin FC 116.3 4-3N-3

Ersin completely dominated this game from start to finish, with their strikers Vigilato and Sacco getting all the chances on goal but just didn't know how to finish it past a weaker July Fourth defence/team that seen Vestergaard and Fartmann play OOP for the most of the game, Papaleo is rubbish this day in age, only 5*119 now and isn't that good enough to breakdown on chances to beat the Ersin defence and also our reserve GK Fartmann nearly scored for us while playing OOP.

Goals: None. MOTM: Nouga.

Team Talk: I wasn't too concerned about this game, but I have 5 players injured and a player suspended for this match so a played a 2 unusual formations for us and played 2 players OOP in the game because I was rotating my squad.

League, round 15

FC TT 0-6 Perfect Tactics

FC TT: 49.4, defensive 3N-3W-2W-2 | Perfect Tactics: 65.8, 4-2-2-2 hexagon/4-2-2-2 narrow/4-2N-1-3/4-5-1v/butterfly

This was a frustrating match against a much weaker team, especially in the first half. An early goal from Nascimento looked to be the fuel in a high scoring half but it wasn't the case. Our formation couldn't break theirs down and we needed to do something. Switching to the 4-2-2-2 narrow didn't work and neither did a 4-2N-1-3. Those were the 2 formations I could change into during the match without any substitutions. In the 2nd half we changed to the 4-5-1v and it worked a treat, Silly with a long range strike to make it 0-2. Soon it was 0-3 and then 0-4 with goals from Shlimazl from a 1 v 1 position and Silly again from a corner kick. Then we switched to the butterfly and we scored a few more goals, Poncet going for goal and Petersen from a free kick giving us the score we needed.

Goals: Nascimento (4'), Silly (53', 68'), Shlimazl (60'), Poncet (75'), Petersen (78')
MOTM: Petersen

Day 16/17.

LEAGUE: Round 14. LONDON CITY (84.7) v STANDARD FC (84.7)

Result: LONDON 0-0 STANDARD
Goals:
M.o.M: Jaime Suarez (Standard)



Not a lot can be said about this bore-draw, between two teams with exactly identical quality ratings. Neither side really troubled the opposing 'keeper and goalscoring chances were at a minimum. An ACL tear forced star midfielder, Emilio Santos, to leave the field after 26 minutes and he will be missing now for 5 days.

CITY: Miklosko, Jones, Haller, Watts, Rabus, Andersson, Santos (Duggan), Simpson, Daniels, Yashin, Dixon.



LEAGUE: Round 15. SHILENO FC (81.2) v LONDON CITY (84.8)

Result: SHILENO 1-5 LONDON
Goals: Dixon 15, Andersson 19, Kokkinakis 45, Dixon 51, Dixon 73, Robins 87
M.o.M: Wayne Dixon

Wayne Dixon led our team to our best result of the season in this comfortable victory in Chile. With both the top two teams losing today, this couldn't have come at a better time for us. Dixon got us off to a good start, after accepting a through ball from skipper Terry Duggan, and sliding it past the keeper. Four minutes later, Stig Andersson doubled our lead when he blasted a free kick home. Nikos Kokkinakis pulled one back just as the referee was about to blow for the interval. Six minutes into the restart, Dixon made space for himself and scored with ease to restore our two goal margin. Dixon completed his hat-trick on the 73rd minute mark, and substitute Percy Robins finished the scoring with a late goal, to wrap up the three points. Reserve striker, Oleg Yashin sustained an ankle injury just after the hour, which sidelines him for 3 days.

CITY: Miklosko, Jones, Fiksdal, Whyte, Watts, Andersson, Duggan, Simpson, Daniels, Yashin (Robins), Dixon.
