Champions league madness part 6. After 3 points in 5 matches which almost all were dominated the last chance in the sixth game was to get into the nivea cup. A win against the number 3 should be enough. So lets do this. Everything is good again. Quality is 5% higher but he is a level higher.

Game starts and his ML gets injured. Ok, not bad. 32th minute. Totally owning the other. 72% possession. Could this be the turnaround? My AMR makes 0-1. Could it really be the turnaround???? 33th minute 1-1. NO WHY? Why do I always step into that selffullfilling prophecy trap??? RNG, do you hate me that much? Ratings ok, possession ok, chances ok. Nothing wrong, so what is not working. Animation time. Good shot, but goalie saves.

52th minute, 2-1 for the advisary. 57th minute 3-1. Sigh. 6 shots and 4 on target, 3 kills. Me 11 shots and 5 on target, 1 kill. Not fair. Ratings from the defense are plummeting. Thank you Nordeus for putting me up against level higher teams. Brilliant punishment for playing well. Or is there a chance?

72nd minute, again my AMR breaks through and we score 3-2. Is it possible? Really, do I finally get some love from Nordeus. Come on, You put me up against a level higher teams, humor me. Next animation, 4-2. Ok, no humor, grrrrrr.

End score 4-2
Possession 32% vs 68%
Shots 12 vs 16
On target 8 vs 10
Saves 4 vs 2

Why am I even trying this season?

Home Guard FC had a late night League match yesterday, and two morning matches, thus clearing the rest of the day for the Rats' adventures in Associations and their normal matches.

In the League yesterday, Home Guard came up against one of the other human-managed teams, and showed little mercy. Juan Pablo Medina converted a Penalty in the 7th minute, and five minutes later, left-winger Samuel Njewel added another to put the home side 2-0 up. Right-winger Nick Gill bagged a brace either side of the break, then the strikers Brian Barrett and Supachai Sunthornpit added one each before the end to register a 6-0 win. With the other results in, a loss for second place now puts Home Guard eight points clear at the top.

Today the Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg was first, at home and with a 2-0 advantage from the 1st Leg. The match was level well into the second-half, in the 65th minute the two wingers combined, Samuel Njewel converting Nick Gill's cross to open the scoring. Njewel scored a second time with 10 minutes to go, a free-kick from Lewis Parkes near to the corner-flag on the left dropping invitingly in front of the left-winger, and he slammed the ball into the net past the 'keeper and covering defenders. Juan Pablo Medina added the third goal soon after as Home Guard ran out 3-0 winners, to progress to the Semi-Finals 5-0 on aggregate.

The League action was away at 13th place, a team certainly batting below average for their Quality. Again the match was goalless in to the second-half, when Samuel Njewel scored the first goal on the hour mark. Striker Supachai Sunthornpit bagged a late brace to give the visitors a 3-0 win. Second place again dropped points with a draw against 3rd, so the lead at the top of the League has now grown to 10 points.

Another midfielder injury today, meaning that there are now two MCs in the treatment centre, so the Management had to consult the Transfer Market again, and had to resort to a last-second snipe to get this high-Q 4* MC.

It was a good day. We started both FA-games and went to finals against "THE LIONS".

At Cup, we won 5:1, Costa scored 4 goals.
At league, we won against 4.place 5:0, Costa scored 3.

Incl. FA, Costa scored 12 goals... BUT... this amazing guy can't kick penalties...

(1.game today - FA)

(Cup, after he scored 4 goals...)

Desert Rats had 4 matches in 8 hours today, a summary report...

Season 90 - Are you ready?-dr-day-14-results.jpg

The Rats find themselves five points clear at the top of the League as 2nd and 3rd fought their way to a 3-3 draw, and made their way into the Cup Semi-Finals as a formation switch from the 1st Leg proved just the job against a persistent opponent. Two good wins against a slightly better Quality opponent help their Assocation into the Final tomorrow.

As always, thanks for all the support, especially madflo and Niko.
