July Fourth Season Summary (Game Season 43,My Season 21,My Level 21)
League
Final Position
1st - Perfect Season Played 26 Won 26 Drawn 0 Lost 0 GF 98 GA 9 GD +89 PTS 78
This league season is July Fourth's finest ever in their history as they won every game in the league this season to complete our first ever Perfect Season and joining many other clubs that have done the 26-0-0 in the league, To do that you need look on your side and destiny was with us in the end, teams like Sz FC,GZIRA,Priprema,Pistol Rovers and PILOSZ PULTOS all came within 1 goal of ending our Perfect Season but in each of those games Al Calavicci was on our side and we won the Perfect Season trophy!!!
Champions League
Final Position
Winner Played 13 Won 12 Drawn 1 Lost 0 GF 36 GA 7 GD +29
Our Champions League campaign also ended up in success this season as July Fourth completed another double. With great preformances through the group stage and then LMUc were the team that stopped July Fourth of achieving the "Double Perfect" this season with a 0-0 draw in the first leg, We did beat them 2-0 in the second leg and never looked in any real danger of being knocked out early or being shocked by anyone else, ThE KoP kept it tight in 2 difficult games and OneThai Man U showed us that they deserved a place in the final alongside us but were not good enough to turn us over.
Cup
Final Position
KO in 1st Round Played 2 Won 0 Lost 0 GF 0 GA 4 GD -4
July Fourth were unlucky in the draw for the cup this season being placed in the shark cup along with some of the best teams on the server qualitywise, We played PIPPO FC who outclassed a pre-power trained July Fourth by beating us 3-0 and 1-0, We played well in the second leg unlucky not to get a draw, PIPPO went onto lose in the final 2-1 against the new server champions INCORRUPT.
Total Games in all 3 competitions: Played 41 Won 38 Drawn 1 Lost 2 GF 134 GA 20 GD +114
Ignoring the cup, this was as close as you can get to a perfect season, just that draw in the Champions League was the only negative result for us this season, We can say that this season has been an overwhelming success as we didn't expect to get a Perfect Record in the league with Batigo United and GZIRAUTDMALTA in our league this season.

Performance of the Season
Batigo United 0-3 July Fourth (League Round 15)
Going into the game on 14 wins out of 14 in the league, this was one of the most important games of the season, July Fourth got their tactics right and Pietropaolo helped July Fourth secure an important win that setup our chances of a Perfect Season in which we went onto complete.
Disappointment of the Season
LMUc 0-0 July Fourth (Champions League, Quarter Final, 1st Leg)
July Fourth's only disappointing result this season, mainly because LMUc's defensive tactics worked a treat at home and we found it difficult to break them down in 1st leg and they held out for a 0-0 draw, The second leg was also a disappointing result, although we did manage to win to qualify.
July Fourth Players Review and Player Of The Season
Let's start with the defensive side of the team, Knight was superb in goal once again, pulling off many saves in some games to keep us infront and inparticular the games against PIPPO where it was always difficult for us, Our defence was once again a rock that was difficult to smash, Hogan,Ramirez and Hardy were exceptional that kept our conceded down to just 20 all season, in Midfield Sam Beckett had a blistering start of the season scoring many goals in the first week and was candidante to win POTS but faded away, Danny Watson improved somewhat and I was impressed with the youngster who manage to score his first hatrick this season. Petersen was brilliant and he just misses out the Top 3 with many assists/goals, but you can expect that from Petersen, Miku was disappointing most of the season but did come alive in odd games. Papaleo (The third) for us was a very slow starter with only scoring once in 11 games to start but then soon found where the back of the net scoring 22 times but he also misses out on the top 3, Our subs/reserves like Michu,Childs,Malik,'Doc',Lenoil and inparticular O'Sullivan put in good performances when they were required to play games.
3RD... RYOGO KUSAMA
The young product of our youth system had an unbelievable for a young player, whenever he played as MC or a ST he always looked a threat to scoring goals and had a dead-eye for the game. His age was no barrier in what this player can do on the pitch and he scored some of our important winners in our tight league games onto our Perfect Season.
2ND... ALESSIO PIETROPAOLO
He was remarkable this season and during the mid-season he was the player that made our challenge to winning the title and the route to the Perfect Season possible but however near the end of the season he wasn't anywhere near his best and this allowed one other player in our team to pip him to POTS this season.
THE JULY FOURTH PLAYER OF THE SEASON IS...
Al Calavicci
Talk about a player that had done everything for the team for the entire season, there was not one bad moment or bad game for Calavicci, He commanded our defence and made everything happen when it got tough and if it wasn't just that his memorable performances in defence that won him POTS, he did all this when he was a 7* player for the majority of the season when everyone else important was 8* and also he did score 5 goals for us this season. Al Calvicci was undoubtably our best player this season and he wins POTS.
Off the Pitch Performance
The money situation is a problem for us at present, We are able to turn a profit of $150M this season which pushes close to the max amount of $ allowed on the game, we also had used full win bonuses for every league and CL games this season because we had to spend any excess income we had on something.
July Fourth ended the season with a fan base of 5,655,729.
Board Meeting
There will be 2200T available for July Fourth next season for one or 2 new signings and power training.
