Season 37

[July Fourth]

Thai Team 0-8 July Fourth League Round 11

"This is ridiculous" was the expression from the press and July Fourth manager had said this evening after this one... The home side started off with the first chance but missed it, Then Papaleo played a perfect ball to Mensah to fire us into the lead, Fraile for the home side got 1v1 against our goalkeeper for a great chance to equalise and Murphy was the winner there, then it got stupid for the rest of the first half... P.McNamara scored from 20 metres and Papaleo put P.McNamara 1v1 on their keeper 4 minutes later and he scored again, Zidane then added another on the half hour, Kevin Mensah Punished the home team after fouling Zidane just outside the penalty area with a free-kick, Papaleo was on target just before half-time to give us a 6-0 lead at half time, The second half was rather anti-climax of the game and our 2 other goals came late on by Kevin Mensah scoring another free-kick and getting his hatrick, then there was a corner from Novotny in the 89th minute... and how headed in the ball in for 8-0... Kevin Mensah!!!

Goals: Mensah (15,35,87,89) P.McNamara (25,29) Zidane (30) Papaleo (41) MOTM: Mensah... who else!

Funny that Pricop's contest ended for the midfielders scoring the most goals just recently, then Mensah does this... lol

[July Fourth]

Result Just In...

Steaua Siret 4-0 NONKRAVAN FC... That means we will face Steaua Siret in the last 16 of the Champions League knock-out phase, this is going to be a very tough tie non the less, not a scout buyer, but they have a full squad of 5* players through the team. Their average is 91.8 (compared to our 98.4), July Fourth will have to go the more difficult route to win the Champions League this season.

The first leg is at Islington Park, London on Sunday night and the return leg in Bucharest on Tuesday night, Their manager was present at the last deciding group game. SO this is a tough game, Their formations vary from 4-1-2-1-2 wide diamond, to 4-3W-1-2 and 4-1-3W-2. So they don't have a static formation.

For the jackals game tonight, we have decided we are not going to 'throw' the game since we probably would be wasting lots of valuable green boosters needed for power training, Peter Killerich was due to start but was injured in training earlier, Ramirez starts instead of R.McNamara and Rocastle is in for Zidane, Savage is in for suspended Mensah. We have 3 players out injured.
