GREAT news. We have finally broken the "Cup Play-off" curse on our team and for the first time since Lvl 4 (I'm Lvl 8 now) got to the Round of 16

Here's the match report.

GNFC 54.4Q (3) 2 - 2 (2) BHM 56.3Q

4-1-4-1 Hard Defending/5-4-1 Defending/4-3W-3 Attacking vs 3W-1-5-1

They scored 2 early goals and we thought it was over, the curse has kicked in once again. But our second half performance improved after some minor changes, we managed to score to and make it level by 68" (1 from an indirect free kick and 1 from corner).

The last 20 minutes was intense as their World-Class ST got so many chances but our solid defenders and GK did enough to deny them of a third goal (GK got a "saved it in style")

Overall, was not happy with the lead thrown away but we expected this facing a stronger team. Happy to reach our Cup goal this season. Let's see who we meet next round.

Royal Rumble "Shark Cup" Third Round Second Leg

July Fourth 2-3 JuventusFloresti

July Fourth win 4-3 on aggregate
July Fourth 148.5 4-5-1 V then 4-1-3W-2 - JuventusFloresti 3N-4-1-2

We had a very lucky escape here... JuventusFloresti came out on firing on all cylinders and were on top form here and we struggled to cope with it, We were in control for the first 20 minutes or so creating chances through Petersen and Papaleo, but JuventusFloresti got a goal that got them back in the tie with vanwelkenhuysen who had been their stand out player over the 2 legs and gave us a hard time... In the second half Kusama ran through on goal and levelled the match at 1-1 before in the space of 10 minutes Iancu and Sa'adi both scored unexpectedly for JuventusFloresti to give them the lead in the tie on away goals, but right at the end we were saved when Petersen's 30 meter magic shot was unstoppable and that was the goal that got us through to the last 16.

Goals: vanwelkenhuysen (36) Kusama (65) Iancu (74) Sa'adi (83) Petersen (88) MOTM: Iancu.

Team Talk: Despite progression, I am very angry. This is something that should never of occured when being in control going into this game.

Last Night's CL Group H Round 4 Result: July Fourth 4-1 Steaua, Popa took the lead for the visitors before a change in tactics saw both Papaleo and Kusama score a brace each with Papaleo getting MOTM. NS Stars beat Rumble Fish 3-1 to give us the advantage in the group on GD.

Seems like you are chalenged by some romanian teams

Yes, They seem to be the teams that give us the most problems in actual fact, Steaua in the Cl drew with us in our first fixture and nearly caused an upset before a change of tactics got us out of trouble, JuventusFloresti as you just saw there nearly putting us out if the cup, also FC Barcelona last season were a Romanian team/manager despite the name that put us out of last seasons CL by causing a major upset.

The Miracle of Talayuela/Spain

FC Dreamhunter made the miracle happen!!! After a 2-4 loss in the first leg of the Cup we traveled to Spain hoping to get out of the competition in style and not be embarassed again, especially as I was not able to coach the team (only was able to watch the match from another account). Last night we went shopping and signed two 6*-strikers as this was our problem in the last games. Our former strikers were simply not good enough for the competition.

Our opponent started with 3W-3N-1-3 and we decided to play him this time with a 4-3W-1-2 formation. The first thirty minutes saw our team with a slightly higher ball-possession and some chances, before our 22 yr. old English Striker Andy Limb scored his first goal. At halftime we were leading 1-0 but still needed at least two more goals to advance. After the intermission came the magic seven minutes where Limb scored another two goals and gave the assist for the first goal of 22 year old Peruvian striker Luis Posito. So 4-0 after 55 minutes and eight minutes later our Irish Midfielder David Hudson made it 5-0. In minute 71 Monki FC got one goal back but was not able to score again. Actually Limb would have had another chance for his fourth goal - but nevertheless he became the MoM.

So we are thrilled that we unexpectedly advanced into the last 16!!!

Berkshire Utd beat the second placed team 1-0 which was an important win in the League - but compared to the match of the other franchise-team these are only minor news.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Bignose FC (47.5) 0-2 Chester FC (63.6)
3N-1-3W-1-2 Dandelion vs 4-5-1 V-Style / 52' 4-4-2 Classic

Funny result. Opponent had 10 players with 2* and 1 player with 3*, we have all players with 5* in team. How this is possible? Only 2-0? But we have 3 points.

Match Report:

It is a tough match and critical match for FCB as FCB gave 2 important away goals. Both teams tried too much but none got success in the beginning. At 31' Carrillo injured opponent's ML Pholsa who scored 2 goals in the 1st leg match but there was no replace. With this injury FCB took advantage and result a goal from Ammi with Blistering Strike and gave FCB lead. FCB were in the lead with 1-0.

Just after the start of the 2nd half M Pavan was 1v1 with keeper and gave excellent pass to Robben who did not miss it and scored a goal at 49'.

Mina took the corner and crossed high in to the box and majestic leap by M Pavan scored a goal. At the end FCB finished off with 3-0.

Team Talk: ​ Great win here that puts us in the next round. Thanks to JF for the formation.

[Zeon]

2nd leg in cup... lost first one with 0-2 at home, despite having the better team (qualities of playing squads in 2nd leg: 69.4 vs 65.9)

Will be hard, but I think I can win with 2-0 or 3-1. Lets hope my players scores some goals this time...
