Season 39

[Tornado88]

Warrington FC Vs paraa FC

A mediocre, if not slightly disappointing performance. Warrington dominated the game in every aspect and it was constant attack after attack for Warrington. But the deadlock was broken in the first minute and that is how it stayed. A poor 1-0 win.

League, round 8 - Beast FC 1-9 Perfect Tactics
Beast FC: 31.0, 3W-1-3W-2-1
Perfect Tactics: 51.6, 3-2-2-2-1 b'fly

WHY COULDN'T WE PLAY LIKE THIS YESTERDAY!? It's pretty much against the same formation, except the DMC!!! Troll game engine.

Anyway.. The win gives us a 2 point lead at the top of the table. We scored after just 3 minutes after Nascimento went through on goal and put us 1-0 up. Minutes later, it was 2-0, Nascimento rising the highest from a corner and with a powerful header, got his 2nd of the game. He got his 3rd after some pressure and this time it was from another corner. 3-0 up and all for Nascimento. After the break, the floodgates opened for both sides. Hardy made it 4-0 from a corner before Petersen set up Blomqvist from a counter attack. We just kept scoring and Eastgate helped himself to a goal, this time it was Nascimento turning provider. Substitute Cazorla set up Petersen for 7-0 before a consolation for Beast FC made it 7-1. It was one of those "cleared for another corner" goals. We didn't let that affect us as we got an 8th and it was a solo piece of genius from Nascimento who ran all the way and ended the attack with a superb finish. Van der Zande made it 9-1 and it was the 2 full backs who were involved. From the counter Lamb squared for VDZ who couldn't miss from a few yards.

Goals: Nascimento (3', 12', 38' HAT, 77'), Hardy (50'), Blomqvist (52'), Eastgate (62'), Petersen (70'), Baez (72'), Van der Zande (81')
MOTM: Nascimento

Ahn Tù FC VS New Team
Ahn Tù : 4-1-4-1, 4-1-3-AMR-1; [Q 37,4]
New Team: 3-2-2-2-1, 4-5-1 V, 3-4-1-2, 3-1-3W-2N-1; [Q 40,5]
First Leg Result: 3 - 3

EPISODE 2-REMATCH: Don't go off selling the bear's skin before you strike it down.

For this match we got rescheduled at 18.25, where we had already problems due to Coach Mad's presence to his wife's shopping day. We were far from home in any sense, and without any backup. To that we had to add the connection problems we were having since early afternoon and the difficulty of dealing with IOS' game platform which is still very poor.
That's why when we settled our 3-2-2-2-1 we were facing at 5 minutes from start a 3W-2DMC-1-2W-2, if not that our opponent swinged back to 4-1-4-1 at 3 minutes remaining. We were expecting this sneaky cheap trick as we were already resetting into 4-1-2-1-2, but when we were to save the new formation the ios app blocked and we were kicked out. When we could log back, it was match start already. On top of that, we were facing alone the manager PLUS 6 of his Thai buddies supporting him. Ahn Tù started the match with EVERYTHING in his favour.

As we started luckily for us Coach Mad had already laid the bait in the field, and so without any substitution we were easily able to switch from 3-2-2-2-1 to a more confortable 4-1-4-1. Despite the -15% ball possession, New Team made his tactic and disposition count hugely in the first half, parring the possession (50-50) and even pushing them back on defense for the first half. Few minutes from the whistle Oliver Hutton was already impossible to stop and his ride-through the defense ended up towards the keeper, where he offered a perfect ball to James Derrick claiming immediatly back the opponent's luck in the first Leg (14'). But of course, the troll was just there waiting us as the very next minute Giggs shooted from midfield (MIDFIELD!) beating weirdly our Q42 Keeper Price for the lightining fast 1-1 (15'). Coach Mad snapped in rage again at the 4th goal conceded in 4 total shoots between 2 matches, letting in Johnny Mason (ST) for Strauss (DL) and reordering on 3-1-4-2. New Team keeps attacking without much results, and every time we read on the screen "shoots from range" we feel staggered expecting to go down again. That finally ends happening and before the end of the half a free kick earned by Mason gets us the lead with the immortal Callaghan realizing! 1-2 end of first half (45').
In the second half we notice their possession bonus starting having effects, so around minute 50 coach Mad decides to get back to 4 defenders getting out, by surprise, Johnny Mason for Fubuki Shirou. And here the TROLL came again! While waiting the switch, Ahn's striker Wellbeck (a 5* who plays like a 9* apparently) gets past the whole defense from nowhere (we were having a corner kick against them <.<) and beats Price for the equalizing 2-2 (55'). OF COURSE, right after the goal we get our sub, and New Team can claim to have one more defender now that they have to score back! Coach Mad is then forced to get back Callaghan for Tom Becker, setting the formation from 4-5-1 V to 3-1-3W-2N-1. We kept pushing despite their defense and keeper being in gracious state, and parring finally rightly on their shoot from range. We were losing hope fastly when finally, like a godsent, Hutton exploded a right which got deflected by a hair over the bar!!!! On the corner, Yuma centered it rageously and the SAVIOUR of the day Rob Denton made it fly under the bar for the definitive 2-3!!!!! Crazy result in the enemy's cradle!

New Team accesses the next phase on 6-5 aggregate!

Late thoughts.

1) THANKS Nordeus. For messing up server and letting me be almost trolled by this guy. As alwais, you're alwais here when i less need you. Stick it up that thing you know this time too :3
2) We totally DESERVED to pass this round. Playing against 1 striker only and not even AMS with a 6* Defensive wall and getting 5 goals from 25-30 mts or mid half was riddicolous. Weird enough, they scored like that every time i scored before. Coincidence? Seemed all set up to me.
3)I wanted badly to troll this guy. With him getting owned away and almost owned at his own home with 6 supporters and cheap tricks yet almost doing it got into my nerves. Good job New Team.
4)We played our League match before the Cup (he played his after) winning 0-4 away and we are 7 points ahead of the teams in 2nd place.

Tuesday. (Match day 10).

LEAGUE: Round 8.

Result: LONDON CITY 7-0 SATORU FC
Goals: Andersson 9, Brown 10, Andersson 16, Morgada 35, Morgada 46, Yashin 78, Andersson 83
M.o.M: Stig Andersson

We finally got a decent result in a home game, (only our second win in the league). We made a blistering start and were 3 goals up after just a quarter of an hour, through 2 solo efforts from Stig Andersson, and a header from Jake Brown, from a cross by Terry Duggan. Duggan was injured following Andersson's second goal and had to replaced with Rudolph Mueller. Hector Morgada added a fourth for us before the break, and then scored again straight from the restart. Oleg Yashin finally got his first goal for the club, in his 13th match, and Andersson completed a hat-trick with seven minutes remaining. The win puts us up one place to 4th, just 2 points behind 1st.

[Bermudo]

League game won 4-1, but another sprained ankle.. 2 of my 5 star players injured in one day... I think I will sit these out, two unimportant games against weak teams tomorrow and a lot more injuries to come.

place 2 and 3 in the league managed to draw, so Im 5 points ahead now.

Injury count this season: at least 7

Balkan Boyz - Matchday 10 (Sz.4 - lvl4)



HEADLINE: Balkan Boyz marched into the Final eight: “It is another great day for the club” Manager Ljepoje said.

FC SoZe (Q39) Formation: 4-3-1-2 >> 0 - 5 (Aggregate: 0-7) << Balkan Boyz (Q41,2) Formation: 4-1-2N-1-2 (4-4-2 diamond)

The Balkan Boyz with manager -Ljepoje- at the helm marched into the Final eight after a tremendous win in the 2nd leg against the French opposition -FC SoZe-. As the first meeting ended with a 2-0 win for the Balkan Boyz, they needed just a goal or two and therefore secure further advancement. The Balkan Boyz started the game quite offensive the first quarter and the strikers -Edin Džeko and Stevan Jovetić- had a couple of dangerous opportunities to score, but the strong French defense kept repelling and stood firm. But despite good defending by -FC SoZe-, The Balkan Boyz managed to break through and get a goal before end half. Alen Halilović, Safet Sušić, Mateo Kovačić and Stevan Jovetić extended the lead in the 2nd half by scoring another 4 goals by the end of the game and therefore put an end of the misery for the French.

The Manager -Ljepoje- reflected on Balkan Boyz tremendous victory and said that his players earns all respect and that their fanclub -Teški Jebači FanClub- (Eng:Heavy Fu*kers) should be proud after beating the french opposition with a huge margin. 'There's nothing that our players can't achieve with proper coaching. We need to improve every minute, we need to keep our heads up, believe in ourselves and continue on our way of playing football. Also, this is an another great day for the club as we never doubted the fact that we wanted to win other trophies, besides the league trophy. This was an important game and it will be an even more important games further one in this tournament when we face our next opponent, that is what we are looking forward to now.”


Scorers: Safet Sušić (41min.ass:S.Jovetić) Alen Halilović (54min.ass:N.Vidić), Safet Sušić (56min), Mateo Kovačić (60min:P) and Stevan Jovetić (73min).
Subs: I. Olić <> A.Ljajić
MOTM: Safet Sušić (rate:9)


Note: Early on in the league, we managed to beat the English team -Porn AS FC- with 0-5. Tomorrow we will be playing against our rival -FC Kula- and a win there will determine which team will be able to threat&compete for the first place which is held by the current leader - FC Beuteville-.
Scorers: X.Shaqiri (1min.ass:E.Džeko), Mateo Kovačić (26min:P), Edin Džeko (37min) and Stevan Jovetić (53 and 86min.ass:E.Džeko).

4)We played our League match before the Cup (he played his after) winning 0-4 away and we are 7 points ahead of the teams in 2nd place.

I had something like this in the old cup a few seasons ago. Won 3-4 away after being 3-2 down, scored 2 times in the last 10 minutes to win it, but we already won the first leg 4-0 so it's not as epic as yours

That was in first leg. I got down 0-2 in 20 mins with 2 outer shoots and before the 75' i was winning 3-2, he drew just at the end, the maggot.

[Bermudo]

Cup sure seems exciting tonight... 2 games in my cup went over 120 mins, my striker scored a freekick in 119th min...

[CameraLagg]

I have my cup game in 10 mins.. we have to get back from our 1-0 away loss
