Season 54

[pcmacdaniel]

San Marino's first game of the day was against Omer FC. Coming off a pair of impressive victories San Marino thought life today would be easier. Omer FC was par for the challenge though, drawing 1:1 with the San Marinese. Both teams played a 4-4-2 classic with San Marino's starting 11 being roughly 10+Q stronger overall. Egyptian DL Abdel Salam scored midway through the first half to take a 1:0 lead. However, was removed at the half, since the San Marinese manager wanted to give the backups some playing time, which proved costly since Scottish DL Calder, would botch a clearance which would result in a second corner for Omer FC from which the equalizer was scored.

Let's just call it a lesson learned for overlooking the competition. This draw is the on the manager for allowing player morale to slip and not providing a better win bonus. Lets hope the players bounce back later today by taking out their frustrations in the cup.

Didn't watch my cup match, but the boys cruised to an easy 7:0 victory to advance 17:0 on aggregate. That should do it for the illegal formations remaining in the cup. It seems like their is always one that manages to somehow slip to the 3rd round though.
