Been a while since my last update (where I was due to play Devil 9 in the League), so here we go.

We defeated Devil 9 2-0 on Friday, with Sutcu scoring both goals. Plenty of shots (21), but few on target (9). Nothing much to right home about really.

Saturday saw two games, the first being the all important CL 2nd leg against Today aqokid FC, who I drew 1-1 at home. I was unable to watch the match (my opponent was and I did have a friend support me). It looked a poor game for myself but ended with a great come back. The 22nd minute saw Steigelmann (my best MC) injured and replaced by Ha (who is not too far behind quality wise) in the 26th minute. They scored the first goal in the 27th minute to make it 2-1 to them. This was made all the more difficult when Jorgensen was booked in the 31st minute, which they scored from the resulting free kick (assuming it was that. They usually tend to go hand in hand). We now looked dead and buried at 3-1 but then things got interesting, as Jorgensen scored in the 40th minute to set up a tense 45 minutes. They made two subs in the 52nd and 77th minute to close the game out, but drama occured in the 88th minute, as the substitute Ha scored (with an assit from Gussago) to make the final score 2-2 and aggregate score 3-3. Rhondda Rovers proceed to the semi finals via the away goal rule.

The League match afterwards saw Rhondda Rovers played Ricarclo FC away with the majority of the backup playing. Following previous matches that have ended with a clean sheet but few goals, this ended up in a rout, as Goncalves (2), Arianto (2 goals, 3 assists) and Nicholls (3 goals, 1 assist) scored in a very convincing 7-0 win. Unfortunately, Toume was injured, but was only out for 2 days, so no one cared.

Sunday saw a rare early kickoff in the League, as Rhondda Rovers played ML FC away in what could have been a tricky away game. However, buoyed by the 7-0 rout of Ricarclo on Saturday, they decided to repeat the feat again, with Sutcu (3), Dos Santos (1), Jorgensen (1), Gussago (1) and substitute Ha (1) scoring in another very convincing 7-0 win.

That now makes it 20 of 20 in the League with an 11 point gap over our closest rivals. Surely I have finally won my first League title.

Today's matches see Rhondda Rovers at home to FC Slatina (who I beat 3-0 earlier in the season, but have recently improved. Their best MC however is suspended for this match) and away to Cules FC in the CL (who are weaker than me by a quality of 8, BUT did beat another team in the last round that was only marginally weaker than me, so should not be underestimated). A victory here could see me play Fdd FC in the final, who qualified through my group with me. However, either they have been buying a lot more players or done some power training, as their quality has shot up since our last meetings.
