CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - QUARTER-FINAL PREVIEW

July Fourth vs SK Senec Tonight
SK Senec vs July Fourth Saturday

July Fourth 124.8 - SK Senec 120.8

If you thought todays game against NAMO UNITED was a big game, then we also have another big game tonight in the Champions League against SK Senec who are a scout team from last season with many 6* players with special abilities, fortunately for us most of these SA's are corner takers and penalty takers. They do have a dangerous AMC with Shadow Striker in Sunday Ambrose Koko but obviously his opposite number is a competely better player in Miku, We still have Beckett and Diamond recovering from injury but I think we will be fine with our team being stronger and favourites to win the tie but lets not forget this is a tough test for us if we are going to reach another final this season. They have 2 of their best players out suspended and we believe we can take advantage of this with them only having the minimum team and the only other player on the bench is a striker, they use the Narrow Diamond formation but thats not a problem for us as we know the good counters to the ND. Their main striker Megan Pauwels this season has scored 20 goals and Chipilov has scored 12. Their corner taker could be Wessels, Youssry or Boujiri or a combination of any of those players.

Odds To Qualify: July Fourth 4/11, SK Senec 21/10.

I had a "big laugh" today as the "Troolo-looo-loo" continued on my server. And once again, the NGE did not spare the "favourites" in the CL competition





When it comes to our own game, well we didn't have any "luck" against Arsenal in the 1th leg. I didn't have the opporunity to follow the game, but hopefully we can overturn this 1 goal deficit in the 2nd leg at our home turf.



Also, we played 2x friendlies against our greek and polish friends from a 2nd server (both lvl 9 teams). I was quite satisfied with the result and overall performance




And for last, let me introduce 3 new faces >> Mario Mandžukić, Luka Modrić and Stefan Savić! ... Mandžukić and Modrić was bought from Mr.Scout list, while Savić was pick'd up from the auctions for just 3T!




Over&Out!

Securas GT lost the first leg of the CL's Quarter finals, 2-1.

The coach admitted having made a mistake on the lineup that costed his team a chance of doing history:

"We made a stupid mistake, missing the timing for changing the line-up. Thanks to that, not only the opposition started the match with a perfect tactic to counter us, but we left out of the match some some important pieces like Dzsudzsák. We had to improvise, and burn a couple of substitutions still on the first half. When we found ourselves down by 2, we finally managed to fit the opponent's formation, and minimize the loss. I believe that, with Dzsudzsak on the pitch we could have scored one of the many free-kicks at our favor, and be in a better position for the 2nd leg."

Saturday the Portuguese team will play the second leg on their home stadium, and have no room for mistake.

"We are not out of the race yet. We'll do our best to learn with our mistakes, and beat the Israeli team in the second leg. And even if we get eliminated, it has been an amazing competition, with the team continuously evolving and surpassing all obstacles. I remember that the initial objective for the CL was passing the stage groups. Here we are still battling the Quarter-finals against a far stronger team. As to the league, we wanted to guarantee a place in next year's CL, and we're in the 2nd place, among stronger teams, still not quitting on the tittle."

Champions League Quarter Final, Leg 1

Reddeviljohn 2-0 Asil United

Reddeviljohn 85.0 3N-1-4-2 then 37mins 3N-4-1-2 - Asil United 78.5 4-4-2

On 32mins Xavi is booked for a bad foul on Nahum who is injured and is replaced by Burbur, on 37mins Summers takes the corner and it is headed in by Moreau, So the half time score is 1-0, on 52mins Summers is replaced by Parr, on 55mins Da Cunha with a precise pass and Moreau drives it towards goal for 2-0

Goals: Moreau (37), (55) MOTM: Summers

Team Talk: A competitive game but we just had too much quality and no away goal conceded so that is a plus but just a shame to lose Nahum to injury as soon as we get one winger back we have now lost another.

[July Fourth]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - QUARTER-FINAL, 1ST LEG

July Fourth 3-1 SK Senec

July Fourth 124.8 dandelion - SK Senec 120.8 Narrow Diamond

We knew this was not going to be easy tonight and it wasn't as SK Senec are the best team left in the competition after ourselves in terms of quality, but it's all about who can produce the goods on the day... There was an early setback for SK Senec when Pauwels suffered an injury which ment their only substitute Valencia had to come onto the field of play, This allowed to July Fourth to take the early initiative away from SK Senec, Firstly Pietropaolo trying to find his way through before midway through the first half we scored on a counter attack through Michu passing to Ramirez to curl it past the keeper for an unlikely first goalscorer this evening, Watson and Pietropaolo kept on going at the SK Senec defence and Coster kept winning the tackles for the remainder of the first half, Ramirez blocked a Koko shot for SK Senec. We held a 1-0 lead at HT.

The second half started off a bit dull and both sides knew there was a lot at stake this evening, SK Senec had a chance with Savic blocked from Calavicci, Savic then got a yellow card and Michu's free-kick hit the wall this time, Michu then tried to create something a few times but the SK Senec defence was equalled to it each time, Then on another counter attack from us we got the ball forward to Miku who just ran with it and nobody from SK Senec could catch Miku and Miku fired it in for a 2-0 lead for us, Senec had a brilliant chance from Valencia late on and then Knight somehow saved it for a corner and thankfully Savic fouled again, Miku tried to create another chance but it was blocked before O'Sullivan looked to have ended the tie on 82 minutes through a good run on the right-hand side cutting inside and chipping it over the keeper to give us a 3-0 lead. We look all set to qualify for the Semi-Final but SK Senec launched one more final attack with Valencia finding Boujiri in some space and he hit it into the back of the net for what could be an important away goal for SK Senec.

Goals: Ramirez (24) Miku (74) O'Sullivan (82) Boujiri (88) MOTM: O'Sullivan.

Team Talk: Well... We still have a bit of work to do in the second leg away at SK Senec with them reminding us that they are up for the fight with that late away goal, however if we were offered the 3-1 win before kick-off, I think we would of taken that scoreline and we can be happy we have a lead going into the second leg.

Revised Odds to Qualify: July Fourth 1/16, SK Senec 9/1.

You know something, I thought about laying down a silly token just to sign him back up again for a laugh in some of the remaining league games this season and play him in matches when I go 4-0 up in and thats already done and dusted and see if he could of still scored some more goals for us. On the other hand... His time was already up playing for us in all honesty, maybe could of picked him up for the Papaleo testimonial.

Lol, just realized was your player...not another one with the same name generated from Nordeus...
forgot at least 7 season ago you had him 8 or 9 stars...i remember the Zidane, Novotny, Papaleo trio

Champions League quarter finals - 1st leg

Super subs save us from an embarrassment!

Perfect Tactics 2-0 Ramon FC

Perfect Tactics: 65.9, 4-5-1v/butterfly/4-2N-1-3 | Ramon FC57.3, illegal hexagon

This was one frustrating match against an illegal formation. What we expected to be a walkover, turned out to be a nightmare of a match. Nothing we threw at them could break their illegal formation down until late on the match. Their goalkeeper made 6 saves and kept the score low as we kept resorting to long range strikes which were easily saved. We had good chances in the first half to finish them off but it wasn't to be. In the 2nd half, we were sweating a bit as time was running out to find the opening goal. We still couldn't get past them so we threw the kitchen sink and played with 3 strikers which only made it slightly better. Along with hard attacking, we decided to take off Shlimazl and Zenzizenzike who had poor games and replace them with Pistov and Poncet. The substitutions worked a treat, both scored late on in the game to give us a 2-0 advantage going into the away leg. Pistov broke free of the defence and made it 1-0 and then Poncet from a corner made it 2-0.

Goals: Pistov (80'), Poncet (86')
MOTM: Pistov

League, round 17

Our strongest opponents crushed!

Stefan FC 2-8 Perfect Tactics

Stefan FC: 59.7, 4-3W-1-2 | Perfect Tactics: 65.9, 4-5-1v/4-1-1-2W-2

We thought this match would give us problems, Stefan FC are the strongest team in the league after us but have been suffering a bit. They took the lead on 4 minutes, Poosz setting up Esbensen for an easy tap in. Our opponents were by far the the better team but a Nascimento goal out of nowhere gave us an equaliser just 12 minutes later. We changed formation as it was clear that the 4-5-1v was not that effective. Pistov came on for Hardy and we played with 2 strikers. Just before half time we took the lead, Magill getting his first goal for the club after Shlimazl set him up to slam home. We were taking control of the game and the 2nd half was a walk over. Petersen adding to the score from a 1 vs 1 position 2 minutes after the break. We were not stopping there, Petersen set up Pistov for 1-4 from a corner and 3 minutes later, Nascimento made it 1-5 with another long range goal. We were killing our strongest opponent in the league and we continued to punish them, 2 quickfire goals from Petersen made it 1-6 and 1-7 respectively, one from long range and another from a free kick. StefanFC rarely threatened in the 2nd half but scored with their only chance in the half, Esbensen getting a second goal after breaking free of the defence and finishing past the goalkeeper. That was not the last goal of the game, Petersen got another and it was substitute Constantinides who set up the goal.

Goals: Esbensen (4', 86'), Nascimento (16', 62'), Magill (43'), Petersen (47', 73', 74' HAT, 90'), Pistov (59')
MOTM: Petersen
