Galactico FC update:

Cup FINAL: The Galacticos 2nd all time appearance in the cup final was here! Played at a great neutral venue that was packed with fans all over from both sides who made great noise and atmosphere for the entire match, this is football with two teams fighting for the coveted trophy!

Many thanks for those who wished the best of luck for the Galacticos in the finals, as they pumped themselves up and given them great morale encouragement for their upcoming match.

The Galacticos emerged from the tunnel in vibrant mood, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the moment. The manager emerged afterwards and went to the dugout to shake the opponents managers hand and then took his seat. The Galacticos lined up with their favoured 4-5-1V with focus passing down both flanks and instructing their wingers to bomb forward down their flanks, the opponent lined up 3N-4-1-2 so their flanks were exposed; so the Galacticos were trying to exploit their weakness. There were a couple of Galacticos manager fans (2 who supported him) but the opponent was present and had 4 supporters which brought a +4% possession bonus in her favour. The Galacticos will have their work cut out in order to win.

As the game kicked off the game was one of the tightest game for the Galacticos this season, the possession was fought, tackles were flying in and a bit of argie bargie going on with physical presence from both sides, the Galacticos huffed and puffed but no goals were scored by either side going into half-time poised at an awesome 0-0 with both sides having chances but both defence held firm.

As half-time approached the Galacticos manager quickly went off the game to talk to his friend to ask why he wasn't watching the match (As he had promised he would) and as he tried to log back in the game had to re-boot and so the time was wasted as the game took a while to load but eventually the Galacticos manager got back into the game (A bit late) but found his team 1-0 up straight at the start of the 2nd half! The manager had missed a goal scored by his own team in a cup final; but nevertheless better than being 1-0 down!

A quick glance in the comments and highlights showed that the goal was scored straight after the opponent made 2 subs at the start of the 2nd half.. Which proved a point in a thread as to why making subs make you concede goals, but this is exactly what happened to my opponent here! AML Bouwmans scored the goal assisted by MC Enasoaie on the 46 minute to give the Galacticos the lead. After this another tight period where both teams struggled to make an influence but with the Galacticos being 1-0 up made them more comfortable than the opponent. More chances came for both sides but neither could score anymore and eventually.. The Galacticos made history to win the Cup with the final score of 1-0 to seal a great victory! The manager ran towards the pitch and the players jumped for joy as the Galacticos win their 2nd cup trophy in their history and hopefully many more to come.

'This is unreal' the Galacticos manager said after the game 'But we must move on quickly tomorrow for another cup final' as the Galacticos did a lap of honour and quickly ushered back into the dressing room. It was a great win as the Galacticos won the cup that is 3 levels above their manager level and hopefully tomorrow will be the same

Goals: AML Bouwmans 46'

League: The newly cup winners Galactico FC were not hang over from their earlier cup win as they played a 3-0 win at a league match to keep the title race spiced up poised between three teams with Two Fingerz on 63 points and the Galacticos and Rabbs FC on 62 points with 2 games left to play. The Galacticos has still yet to play Rabbs FC on the final game of the season, which would maybe guarantee the league title for Two Fingerz due to their outstanding start of their league campaign (Thanks tanking system!)

3 Goals in the first half settled the tie as the Galacticos were maybe hangover from their earlier match and wouldn't want to score anymore against the team in 11th place. Subs were made in the second half to prevent injuries to key players, despite their disappointment at being removed from the game the Galacticos manager said to them 'Would you want to miss the CL final instead?' and they shut up.

Goals: MC Kosmala 17' | ST Lier 26' | MC Enasoaie 41'

Edit: Sorry to hear about your cup defeat khris, CL for Peter Renn and Davy Gravy
