Season 44

[Gasi]

Thank you so much!!! I hope that the team will be successful!

Update on FC SAKURA

My Japanese Team (I am married to a Japanese so it was appropriate to have one running under her flag) is doing really well this season. After 15 games we have 14 wins and one draw. Yesterday we won in the Cup 3:0 on the road and are still hoping for the Double.

Berkshire Utd is ruling its league - 14 wins, no loss or draw. Later today I hope for victory number 15. We lead with 13 points and so I start already preparing and training the team for next season.

A question - As I never played Champions-League - am I right that the tightest matches are in Cup, followed by the CL - while the League is on average the easiest competition?Dreamhunter

It all depends on the quality of your team. If for your level you have an above average quality team,
chances are that your league or CL will be by far the easiest, the Cup is notoriously troublesome regardless of your team quality.
My summary is do not assume, some times you get grouped with tough,smart,cheating, or token buying managers, and the strength
of your team is tested, its up to you to prove your worth.

I hope this helps.

League Round 15 - Good Win Ruined By Injuries

July Fourth 4-0 QPR

July Fourth 136.1 3N-4-1-2 - QPR 130.4 4-3W-1-2

July Fourth were near their best for an easy win over QPR in the league, We controlled the game and never were under any real pressure, Papaleo put us 1up from a Petersen corner on 13 minutes before returning the favour by setting up Petersen to score to make it 2-0 midway through the first half, Watson could of added a 3rd but put it wide, 2nd half we killed the game off with Pietropaolo allowing Papaleo to chip it over the keeper for 3-0 and Papaleo finished the hatrick off with a solo move, but the game was frustrating as we lost both Miku-Zidane and Pietropaolo to injuries that cost us 27 red boosters... OUCH!!!

Goals: Papaleo (13,55,75 HAT) Petersen (22) MOTM: Papaleo.

Team Talk: A good game by us and a great result but those injuries were quite expensive as we were building up a nice pot of reds in the last 2 weeks or so... We are 15 points ahead in the league and probably be crowned champions at the weekend.

LONDON CITY 3-1 MAN UNITED

Yesterday's home match against Man United was a standard win for us, after an uncomfortable start. Our visitors dominated the opening exchanges and took the lead after 25 minutes. On the stroke of halftime, Jack Daniels managed to force the ball home, to draw us level. We came out after the break with a more positive attitude, and within three minutes, Jacob Wilkinson converted a cross from Daniels, to put us in front. From then on, we were in command, but further goals didn't materialise until Wayne Dixon took a pass from Wilkinson, and calmly stroked it past the keeper, on 86 minutes, to secure the three points. The man of the match award went to Wilkinson.

The win kept us in top spot, two points ahead of second place. Our next match sees us travelling to Italy, to take on fourth placed Real Monte.

Yes and that signature will still be there until the air is clear, at the moment we are far from it...

League, round 15

Wachara FC 1-2 Perfect Tactics

Wachara FC: 71.8, 4-1-1-2-2 asymmetric | Perfect Tactics: 78.0, 4-1-1-2W-2/4-5-1v

Wachara FC proved to be a problem today and they almost held us to a draw but it was down to the two substitutes who gave us the 3 points. The first half was dull and we couldn't break our opponents down although we did miss the few chances we did get. We decided to bring on Petersen Jr in the 2nd half, taking off Petersen Sr at the same time. He was an instant impact, scoring the minute he came on to give us the lead. Our opponents did threaten but not much, however they scored a fortunate goal from a free kick, Aslam who isn't even a free kick specialist managed to score to level the scoring. We brought on a 2nd striker to try and win the match and it worked, Rendon headed in from a double corner and gave us the lead which turned out to be the winning goal. The win keeps us 5 points clear as we play 2nd place tomorrow.

Goals: Petersen Jr (46'), Aslam (65'), Rendon (79')
MOTM: Petersen Jr

Champions League Last 16, 2nd Leg

Clift United (3)2-1(6) United Til I Die

Clift United 92.2 4-1-2-1-2ND - United Til I Die 94.9 3N-5-2V

Possession even but they had far more shots on target than us and were playing far better, they scored straight from kick off, nothing much changed going into the second half so on the hour I threw on Bosch (who I was resting) and 5 minutes later a Sanchez shot took a deflection and went it, just when I thought a draw would be ok, they scored with 12 minutes remaining and we could not find an equalizer but we did not need to.

Goals: Daquin (4) Sanchez (65), Nossa (78) MOTM: Nossa

Team Talk: Our opponents deserved their victory as we did not play well and I was resting some key players as the job was done in the 1st leg, although thought I may of got a draw but not to be.

Meanwhile, with the forum down...



WE killed them from start to the end, but of course we went down with a long range shot in the first half. Not nearly enough to call it okay, but it's a start.

On the opposite, we won 0-2 away in the league vs a Q 44 team, 22 Quality weaker than us. Even here they didn't shoot once but our shoots were ALL off. Until minute 80 we were 0-1 still with 12 shoots/1 on target. I guess the Troll will least just this much for the season.

About FC Pant****ters, we faced in cup an inactive, weaker opponent with a counter to his formation and fought them in 11 vs 10 for 60' due to a injury they didn't sub. Final result: 4-1 FOR THEM.
