Season 40

[Zeon]

1-0 away in CL, in theory its a good result, but I'd prefer some goals more

[July Fourth]

One of our main rivals Xa Doan lost 2-1 away in the 1st leg of the CL to a weaker team. His 5* defender is also suspended for the next 2 matches, which helps if we get past Sly FC. I hope he gets knocked out for an easy route to the final.

CL 1/4 round, 1st leg preview - Perfect Tactics vs Sly FC

We got knocked out at this stage last season and now we play Sly FC from Vietnam. Sly FC are no pushovers and have a solid team of 5*, 6* players and even a 7* player who is on corner kick duties which could cause us a lot of problems for our leaky defence. They aren't too far behind us in overall quality for the first team but we are the better team. They are currently top of the league but qualified from the CL group stages in 2nd place, only missing 1st place on goal difference. They are a tough team to beat and they are probably one that could potentially knock us out if we are not careful, however based on quality differences, we are favourites to qualify but with this game engine, shocks can happen and we are hoping to keep a clean sheet at home to prevent a repeat of last season. We are missing Van der Zande for both legs due to suspension but this means Goff keeps his place in the squad where he would have been replaced had Van der Zande been eligible to play.

Odds:
To qualify: Perfect Tactics 4/11, Sly FC 4/1

I like how you have posted odds where both outcomes can be backed for a profit. It should perhaps read...

Perfect Tactics 4/11, Sly FC 2/1.

Well... I'm a ex-gambler so I know how the odds work, favour the bookies all the time, I know the general 2-way odds when one is odds on and the other is odds against... lol All this betting in play... but I can work out what you mean about your chances of getting through to the next round or not. 4/11 Perfect Tactics vs Sly FC 2/1 sounds about right based on what info you've given me.

CL 1/4 round, 1st leg - Perfect Tactics 3-0 Sly FC

A comfortable win for Perfect Tactics but it almost was an exact score line as last season when we conceded a late goal to make it 3-1 which of course cost us the trophy. We got off to a wonderful start, Vittalone put us a goal up on 6 minutes from a counter attack from Goff's accurate pass. That was pretty much the story today as we kept hitting our opponents on the counter attack, it was then 2-0 after Andre brought down Petersen in the box and from the penalty, Petersen struck high into the net. 2-0 soon became 3-0 when Pistov was put through on goal and setting up Suarez for his 8th goal of the season. We didn't seem to bother in the 2nd half and we looked like we stepped off the pedal a bit. There was a huge chance for Sly FC to make it 3-1 when Dulev was through on goal and his decision to pass instead of shoot resulted in a corner. It was a bit of a worry since his 7* corner specialist was taking it, however a handball given against Sly FC meant we safely go through into the 2nd leg with a clean sheet and we are in a great position to make it into the next round. Goff was incredible today and deserved man of the match, he is probably the reason we kept a clean sheet today with important tackles and blocks.

Goals: Vittalone (6'), Petersen (29' PEN), Suarez (40')
MOTM: Goff

After what happened last season... This is a good response and Perfect Tactics should really be looking to get the away goal that should kill this one off. I'm hoping for a similar scoreline to your tonight as we also play our 1st leg at home and ideally we would like to get the tie done and dusted in the game tonight, I'd be happy with a 2-0 win tonight. But we are going to try and win the game 5-0.

Good luck. We still have our league game tonight, hoping to rack up a huge score against last season's league winners with a crappy quality lol

[July Fourth]

Result Just In...

LIVERPOON FT 0-1 crvena zvezda... Egbeta scores the winner in the 1st leg for crvena zvezda and 2nd favourites LIVERPOON could be making an exit in the quarter-finals of the Champions League... and if this happens then July Fourth will become odds-on favourites to retain their Champions League crown.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINAL PREVIEW

July Fourth vs Equimetal SAD Tonight
Equimetal SAD vs July Fourth Saturday

July Fourth 112.3 - Equimetal SAD 105.8

Before even thinking about what happens in the other ties in our Champions League competition, we must think about our own... Equimetal SAD are an ex-scout team with various players 5* and 6* and their entire starting line-up all contain special abilities... hmmm... We can match Equimetal SAD's special abilities but we possess the extra quality in our team. But this is still a difficult game on paper to win. Equimetal have real life names like... Frank Lampard, Emmanuel Emenike, Philip Lahm, Wesley Sneijder (I just played another Sneijder against Takis recently) and... CR7. At least they don't have the other obvious name (Lionel Messi). But to us it makes no difference or does it? It make us more determined to beat these pretenders. I may have David Seaman and Tony Adams but at least they are legendry players for club and country. We are also boosted by the return of a certain Ivor Hardy as well this evening, but we needed to throw him 3 greens to get him up and ready fitness-wise and we have no players in suspension. Their prefered formation is 4-3W-1-2.

To Qualify: July Fourth 1/5, Equimetal SAD 7/2

1st Leg Odds: July Fourth 2/5, Draw 3/1 Equimetal SAD 11/2
2nd Leg Odds: Equimetal SAD 11/4, Draw 9/4, July Fourth EVS

SPECIAL BET: July Fourth to win the 1st leg 5-0... 33/1.

Great fight this season photo finish will decide
