Season 43

[July Fourth]

Royal Rumble Cup Playoffs 2nd Leg - Super Callum!
AEPRE FC 1-3 Makbs FC (Makbs FC Home) AEPRE FC through with 5-4 aggregate (Away goal 0-1)

Not a good match from AEPRE FC today. They were been 3-0 down in the 84' which pissed the manager off that he will got knocked out by the away goals (4-4). However in the 85', Bale rifles in the shot that got blocked to a corner, and it was Fernando Torres with a very great cross to Callum McManaman to saves AEPRE FC in the tournament. After the match, Callum McManaman got mentioned by the manager as "Super Callum" due to his performance that saves the team. At the season 2, this similar kind of event occurs in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where Demba Ba scored a last-minute goal to beat Rahmad FC 5-4 in the Champions League on the aggregate, which they should have been out with away goal advantage to Rahmad FC. That was Demba Ba, this is Callum McManaman...

What a goal, Super Callum!
In the 84', I just got pissed off, but Callum McManaman just makes me feel good just one minute later...

Thank you Callum...

pew...

Oh my gawd, this is just so close!!!

So.... You only stay in RR Cup but only just and you make it onto the last 16 drawsheet. I hope you can go further in the competition since you've had no CL to go at this season.

BTW hexagon is countered by 4-4-2 classic.

[July Fourth]

LEAGUE ROUND 8 - RED CARD PUNISHES BENCA

Benca FC 0-6 July Fourth

Benca FC 4-1-3W-2 then 16 minutes 4-4-1 122.7 - July Fourth 131.1 1st 25 minutes 4-5-1 V then 4-4-1-1, 2nd Half 4-3W-1-2

This was a tough game on paper but July Fourth were under early pressure before Watson made his way into the area only to be fouled by Gondorf in the 16th minute and the referee showed him a straight red card for a professional foul, similar incident to how Hogan was sent off for us... Papaleo sent the keeper the wrong way with the penalty. Benca reacted with switching to 4-4-1 with a view to try and get a draw, but as soon as Benca made the changes we brought Miku into the game. Benca with being down to 10 men had chances to level in the first half with Rottine having a shot saved and D'Oriano having a effort going wide. But as soon as the 2nd half started July Fourth began to take the game away beyond Benca's reach. Watson with a long range effort and a quick brace from Miku made it 4-0 in no time, Ramirez broke clear of the defence and setup Childs for our 5th and Michu came on and impressed once again and he setup Papaleo for his first goal in open play this season to make it 6-0. Papaleo, Petersen and Michu went onto search for another goal for us but it never came but the job had already been done here and Benca's red card certainly opened up the game for July Fourth to take advantage.

Goals: Papaleo (16 PEN,78) Watson (49) Miku (57,61) Childs (67) MOTM: Childs - 1pt
S/O: Gondorf (16)
Manager Points: Miku 3,Childs 2,Papaleo 1.
Top 5 Standings: Beckett 19, Petersen 14, Ramirez 10, Watson 10, Pietropaolo 9, Calavicci 9.

Team Talk: We expected a tough game against our opponents today but the early red card for them made things a stroll in the park, but Benca are a good team with a good manager and this scoreline does not reflect their true ability. Tomorrow we play against "Pistol Rovers" at home.
