Day 11 - Palace Casuals report.
Casuals went away to the Level 35 team they beat on the opening day of the Champions League, and made a spirited second-half revival to draw 2-2. Yielding 13% Quality, 0-2 down and 60 minutes on the clock, the Management decided to go for broke; told his hitherto hard defensive team to hard attack, and Maarten Wiegman and Charly Ducourneau made the scores level. With three minutes to go, the home side lost a defensive player with the Order of the Early Bath, but Casuals were unable to take advantage of the extra man in the time remaining. With one match to go, the two Level 34 teams are second and third in the Group, but Casuals (second) have the harder task, at home to the behemoth team at the top of the Group.
"It's wasn't our day" bemoaned the Assistant Manager at the end of Casuals' home League match, having just lost 0-1. With 13% attendance advantage and 60% possession, one would have thought that the home side would have got something out of the match, but the Nordeus Gods just sniggered in the corner.
