Champions League Semi-Final Preview
Ttrabzonspor (94.5) vs July Fourth (104.4) Today
July Fourth (104.4) vs Ttrabzonspor (94.5) Wednesday
Weve made it quite confortably to the Semi-Final without too much trouble with big first leg win over a Thai Team and not much threat from Coloz United who were considered a threat at the beginning of the competition to my chances, this is another team I consider a threat too and both of us are unbeaten in the CL this season so something has to give. Ttrabzonspor are a full 5* team with a semi-active manager that does not normally watch games, but on paper not a push over for July Fourth by any means, they prefer 4-4-2 Classic with a good partnership with Dursan 18 goals and Agudelo 15 goals this season, Other than that its difficult to tell where goals are coming from this team and they only have a small squad of 15 players. July Fourth have all their key players available except for Chuck Norris and Zidane has recovered from injury. Novotny and Vasko are on Yellows.
Odds to Qualify:
July Fourth 1/8 Ttrabzonspor 5/1
Match Odds:
1st Leg: Ttrabzonspor 11/2 Draw 3/1 July Fourth 4/9
2nd Leg: July Fourth 2/7 Draw 4/1 Ttrabzonspor 8/1
Prediction: July Fourth to go through by about a 4 goal winning margin.
The other Semi-Final: Dark Horses Hurray FC vs Kadir's GALATASARAY.

Ttrabzonspor 0-5 July Fourth Champions League Semi-Final 1st Leg
Ttrabzonspor 94.5 4-4-2 Classic - July Fourth 104.4 3N-1-3W-1-2
My decision to leave 6 first team players out for the league pays handsome dividends as July Fourth were simply awesome this afternoon in their 1st leg against Ttrabzonspor and clearing the path to the final, July Fourth would of been expected to win the game but not by a margin as such as this. We won a free-kick in the 2nd minute and Mensah got it up ad over the wall to beat the keeper to put us infront, If there was anyone for Ttrabzonspor that had a good game it was Oliphant who just seemed to get in the way and block everything off. But 1 man alone isn't going to stop a good team from July Fourth from scoring goals, after the rest of first half saw the 2 teams cancelling each other out, right at the end Michu was able to skill his way past a defender and put us 2-0 up at HT, Early on the second half Papaleo broke the defensive line with a great run with the ball and cut it back to Ramirez to hit it into the roof of the net, July Fourth were now in control and piled the pressure on for more goals but just as we thought that we were settling for 3-0, we decided to make an attacking tactical chance and bring Rocky off and Play Zidane and L.McNamara as AMR and AML respectively, this also paid off as immediately L.McNamara won the ball from a opponent ran with it, cut inside and shot low to score and our final attack saw Michu playing a through ball to Novotny who happened to be forward at this time and he tucked it underneath the keeper and into the goal.
Goals: Mensah (2) Michu (44) Ramirez (50) L.McNamara (81) Novotny (88) MOTM: Michu.
We now wait to 6.20PM for the first leg between Hurray FC and GALATASARAY... Would like to know what normally wins between 4-3N-3 vs 4-1-3W-2

Great match for us, but we lose 1-2. We able to control the possesion and awarded a penalty kick at m74. Unluckily our striker missed the penalty. The visitor found their winning goal at m82. We still optimist to go to the final.
We also win 8-0 in league match before,12 pts clear of the top
