League, Matchday 13
Coybig FC [3-5-2 V] 0 - 3 New Team [3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly/4-1-2-1-2]
We totally forgot and didn't notice we were facing the newly 2nd on board's team today. Nonetheless we had already prepared the setup which led is to victory. What we didn't know was that today was elected as TROLL DAY for New Team, hence our matches would be full of unexplanable and shocking happening. Today was also M.Stein debut, the new AML/ML recently bought. And it was him in the early minutes panicking out his marking forcing him to foul inside the area for a penalty. After the yellow card we had our 7* PK specialit Clifford Yuma going for it, and we found out it was trollday when it wasn't the keeper saving it but Yuma himself kicking it wide. We kept our 70% ball possession and managed to fail about 5 clen chanches, untill H.Strauss, our DL (?), decided to shoot a missile from far which converted into 0-1 (32'). For the second half we decided to troll back the game engine choosing a setup which should be countered by the 3-5-2 V, being the usual Narrow Diamond. The tactic seemed to work as our pressure raised and we scored another one with James Derrick from a corner kick. We managed to fail couple more occasions untill Strauss being a good German fellow skyrocketed again a shoot ended up in the final 0-3.
Scorers: H.Strauss (2), Jason Derrick.
MoM: Tom Becker (8), New Team.

We already knew this match would attempt to troll us aswell, but we managed to avoid the bullet here. There isn't really much to comment on this one as the opponents practically managed to be dangerous TWO TIMES in all the match, being them at 66' and 85' (both times 1 minute after our goal, how coincidential), scoring once. We largely dominated and created several occasions in which ALL THE TIMES our one on one striker passed the ball in front of the keeper...to our BLUE ARROWED DC!! How could it happen, will remain a mistery, but story tells Clifford Yuma was in a bad mood today, failingthe league's penalty and at least 4 goals without keeper in CL! Anyways, Mason was in top form like alwais, and gave us the lead after just 4 minutes (4'), doubling the score in the second half (65'). As we were playing ND in the second part of the match, being more covered, Yuma failed another occasion right after the goal (66'): the very next sentence we read was "reus with a thundering strike" (or some **** like this) and then the 1-2 goal (66'). How in 10 seconds they took the free kick, reached our area, and scored, will too remain a mistery. Luckily for us the eternal Prince Julian Ross (entering field for Hardy in the second half) thundered back at them setting the score to a more just 1-3.
Scorers: J.Mason (2), M.Reuss J.Ross.
MoM: J.Mason (9), New Team.
We have one foot in the quarters unless another troll day comes. But we are ready to dodge arrows to the knees!
