Damn . . . I lost my first league match today I knew it was gonna be ugly when I got two yellow cards in the first 20 minutes. Academy FC played the 2nd place team in the league today, Rubin Kazan FC. They came out in a traditional 4-4-2 (something I have struggled against this season) and I played my "normal" 4-1-3-1-1. Given the difference in quality, I didn't think it would be much of an issue (24.7* compared to 17.0*). Well, obviously it was as Rubin Kazan was up 2-1 at half. Shortly after half, I made my first sub and made a makeshift 3N-4-1-2 (subbed off a DC and put on a ST). With no luck, I began to sub off those who were tiring and put nearly everyone into the attack. The match ended in a 2-1 defeat . . .

Now I must prepare for a CL match in ~3 hours!
