Season 68

[sparklinginsilence]

Sons of Pitches are top of the table for the 1st time ever in the clubs history after beating 4th placed Vanq FC.

The club has a tough away match to Marik FC and a home match against Vitor FC after which the players can start dreaming of winning the league.



Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

Bit of a disappointing day, as we picked up a pair of draws.

Draw in the league sees us atop the group by 3 points.

Draw in the champions league means we finish 2nd, getting beat out on the tie-breaker. My 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond couldn't get the job done against his 3w-4-1-2. Well, my 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond hasn't been getting the job done a lot lately, also succumbing to a pair of draws against 4-4-2 classic in league play.

If their is any silver lining to the champions league setback, at least it was the groups stages so it doesn't mean we're eliminated and I played the A-/B+ team as I had started 4 backups and suffered a 29th minute injury to my star striker. I'm more annoyed about not winning my league match, needing a 90th minute goal to rescue the boys from defeat as my opponents 4-4-2 classic held up against my Narrow Diamond!

CL: The Buffs finish with a 4-0 win and a 100% record - shame about the 1 sloppy goal. A trialist Striker scores 1, Right Winger Gauld pops in 2 and MC Morrison toe-pokes in a lay off.

Routine victory to qualify for CL Top 16...

[Steppenwolf]

Minimal victory... We are through to Top 16...

[Steppenwolf]

Important league victory... New star Ilić scored 2 from free kicks... Tomorrow we are playing vs. top dog...

Vs. the only abandoned team in my League, I improve my GD:

We won our big game last night. Beat first place 3-2 away from home in a cracking match.

His set up is very attacking, so we played our normal attacking game too, but sacrificed some control further up the pitch with to DM instead of one, and played 4-2-1-2W-1.

Rocket Hotspur went 1-0 down early in to a free kick, but hit back 11 minutes later through our DR, who was playing his first game in seven days after returning from injury.

Then just before HT, we struck again through academy boy O'Toole.

It remained 2-1 to Rocket Hotspur for about 15 minutes into the second half, that was until ST Grigoriadis scored a goal all of his own making, to make it 3-1.

But the opposition werent finished and hit back almost immediately to make it 3-2.

It stayed at 3-2 for the remainder of the game, but Hotspur had a DMC late on, but held on for the win.

So I haven't posted anything for a week. Last post I was undefeated after 15 games. However I was away for a bit and had other things to take care of. Because of that I drew 1 match and lost 2, all in the league. So I have now dropped to 3rd. However two of those matches were epic trolls, so I still sit pretty as far as I'm concerned. Also through to the QF's of the cup with a 7-3 aggregate win. However it is the CL that I am most concerned about with regards to the triple. Topped my group easy, but I now come up against arguably the strongest guy in the CL

Half his team are high 6* scouts. Pretty easy to pick that out considering half his team have the PK SA haha.
Should be a good battle. It'll be interesting to see what formation he chooses. I may show him ND for a little bit, hoping he plays 4-5V-1 and I'll switch to a 4-3-3. But we shall see.

Steimel continues to perform well considering I've never power trained him and he's held 5/6* since he was 19. He's now 24. He's already got the Triple double for the season, and we're only at the halfway point!


May the legend of Steimel continue and the Triple fair well!

Peace out
