Season 54

[Buffs Mad]

Shangalang FC's Manager's tea will be all the sweeter now he has a new Cup!

With formation changes enforced by injuries Shangalang FC change from their usual 4-4-2 counter-attacking shape to 4-1-3W-2 and triumph 4-1 in the Cup Final against ronaldo FC.

De Jong opened the scoring in 9 mins from a Mair corner; Mair struck home from range in 17 mins to make it 2; Oliveira pulled one back for ronaldo FC 7 mins later; Balla restored the 2-goal advantage on the 27th mark after being put through by Moroto; and Balla scored again with a solo effort in the 54th minute to put the Cherry on this seasons cake.

So 4-1 and Shangalang are Cup Winners.

League: Celtic Rangers slip up in the race for a CL place after losing 1-0 against the 5th place side - who now leap 2 pts ahead. CR must now keep fighting and hope for a favour but the chances are slim.

SBARATA FC

We won today away against 4th, only 0:1 but it is enought for winning the 3 points, goal by Carchedi assisted by Guzmán.
Our sub DCs both ex academy players, done a great job and one of them got MOM, i had to play them since my main ones were both suspended.

We are still 3rd, but only 1 point behind 2nd, and we play against them tomorrow. I am now 5 points ahead of 4th and 6 points ahead of 5th but he still have to play today. And the Best GD of the LEAGUE. CL spot almost secured.

After taking a school field trip which results in me arriving home late for the match aganist Simpang FC, fortunately we keep the run going with a 1-0 win. They have switched from weirdly looking assymmetrical formation to 4-3-2-1 Xmas tree. The winning goal comes from Alex Bilodeau's 33' penalty goal.

Dreamhunter's Triple-Dream shattered...

Four intense games within 19 hours were too much for the Dreamhunter-Squad..

Last evening we had the second leg of the CL-Semifinal. After having won against this team twice in the league we managed to get a 2-2draw away and were quite comfortable going into this game. But our opponent was leading 0-1 and 1-2 until the 78th minute before we could turn the game into a hard fought, but well deserved, 3-2 victory. So Dreamhunter will have another try to win the CL-Trophy!

At midnight we faced the fourth best team in the league which came with five wins in a row into our stadium. This game proved to be one of the best performances the Dreamhunters showed this season and we literally crushed our opponents 4-0. The fact that one player of the other team was sent off with 2 yellow cards in the 15th minute helped of course. A pity I cannot be present during the final....

Just four hours later we had to play again - this time the Cup-Final against a slightly stronger team. Getting up at 4:15 in the morning turned out to be really hard for the manager - and the team was as tired as the coach. We had our chances, but finally lost the game 1-2. This is a huge disappointment and we are waiting now since 10 seasons for a second Cup-Title, having lost now a second final...

The end of those stressy 19 hours was the league-game against the second-placed team which is just three points behind us (but we have a better goaldifference by 15 goals). The other manager was present, I could not be there and therefore, as it was an away-match, the players struggled. Both the opponents took the lead, but both times we could come back to secure a needed 2-2 draw which means that we have to win only one of the last two games. As we will face #3 and #5 of the league those games won't be easy, especially as I will not be able to coach the team.

So this season FC Dreamhunter had to play all 52 games. but we are not quite sure if the team will be rewarded for the good performances...

Berkshire Utd and FC Sakura secured their league-wins. The management decided that it won't focus on the last two games but sent the teams to an intensive trainings camp and focus already on the next season. Sakura will release four seasoned players from their contracts (well, actually we hope to sell them) to create space for new talents. Teresa FC proves again and again that it is possible to play a good role in the CL and league also without Token-buying and is still second best. Our goal is - as every year - to qualify for the CL and it seems again possible!

Congratulations from our Franchise to all winners this season!

I was looking to the Teams on the CUP finals and CL finals hapening in my team servers and i found this one in the CL final of ACADEMICO D FC server.
How does this guy end in this CL draw?



He already scored 80 goals so far in 12 CL games and he still have the final tomorrow. This must be a New record.
In the LEAGUE he is 1st only with wins and 132 goals scored only 3 against.

i cant imagine how many tokens (money) he have spent to make this team!

I think his team is even better than JF's team ...

Well, as expected, our team is playing against the 2nd-ranked team in our group H tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. PST. Our club's history has shown we've always lost to those 2nd-ranked teams from our same group in previous CL tournaments. Hope the history will not repeat itself tomorrow and unfortunately, I am tired as hell so I won't watch a damn FB game at 5:00 a.m.

League: Buffs FC stay 3 pts clear with an 8-0 victory at home against Sherman, Chieftan & Panzer AFC.

Looked a bit sticky for a while as McStay missed from a FK but then he found Baxter from a corner for the first. At half-time Billy Bremner replaced Paul McStay and soon the floodgates opened with 7 goals in the last 35 mins.

Shangalang suffer from their earlier exertions and go down 1-0. As the opposition celebrates the Shangalang support sings "Show us your Cups, show us...."

Holy crap! All my pictures just got huge.. I have to redesign my trophy room on my showcase now!

Update on the Forum's display of pix. Nice.

Champions League Final: Buffs FC met MS Sarakham in the final of the Champions League today.

The opposition lined up in a 4-1-2-3 and Buffs withdrew their wings into a more neutral midfield role - 4-1-4-1.

The first half was a stalemate with chances either end but nothing significant, possession was equal - although Sarakham were forcing corners Buffs defensive line were rock steady.

As the second half got underway both managers made changes to the midfield personnel but stuck with the starting formations. The opener came for Sarakham in 56 minutes when Mackay pulled down Soursdey on the edge of the box (earning a yellow card) and Soursdey himself got up and curled a sweet strike in off the back post. 56 minutes gone and Buffs were 1 down. Buffs Mad signalled a change: Slim Jim Baxter and Jimmy "Jinky" Johnstone pushed forward into a more customary 4-5-1V. The equaliser in 71 minutes came from a ferocious Paul McStay strike that almost punched a hole in the net. Buffs Mad immediately ordered his lads to increase the intensity and in 75 mins Law rounded the keeper - although he ran out of space and clipped it across goal for the in-rushing McStay to claim his second. 2-1 for the Buffs.

Sarakham brought the subs on and went 4-3-3. Law was tired but still running around like a headless chicken, buzzing anywhere and everywhere, and ballooned over in 78 from close range. Buffs Mad told reserve Striker Michael Mols to warm up - which clearly had an impact on Law, as he set up Baxter with a chip that was half-volleyed from close in. It was Law's last action of the day as Mols came on - thank goodness the ref didn't allow the change earlier. With 88 minutes gone and 3-1 up, Buffs let the clock tick down and thats how it finished.

\o/ Buffs FC mark their second Champions League campaign and second Final by successfully defending the trophy. \o/
