Season 40

[nsretkovic]

You could try the 4-4-2 as well, but WITHOUT arrows! ... Sometimes I use the "fire with fire" method to get past better or teams that are equal to myself, and it always works in one way or another.

But hey, 1 goal for you away is +2 goals for him. It´s the return that counts

i set 4-1-4-1 without arrows, but if it goes bad I will listen to your advice and I will change to 4 4 2

[July Fourth]

Cup first round, second leg to come in just over half an hour.

We don't have much chance of progressing after yesterdays poor result.

July Fourth L18 110.2 vs red star L19 113.4 (agg 1-5)

Special ODDS:
July Fourth to qualify 50/1
Petersen to score on his debut 5/1

red star are a good strong active L19 team and a quality of 113.4 suggests this, If we were playing on the same level, I would be currently 1.8 quality stronger than our opponents in terms of 'relative quality' since we are 110.2 and are a level below our opponents which means for relative quality purposes I would receive 5 more points

Since we are likely to go out we are giving Petersen a full debut here, Zidane and Crawford may feture for us in the second half if we are not making any in roads in the second leg. Jurc will play on left midfield once again.

You play against Red Star ? This is my favorite team, this is team from my country (Serbia), He won CL 1991 in Bari against Marseille It is a team for whom I live!
good luck July Fourth

Well I know I'm going out the cup here, But we will fight to the end for the integrity of our team, We don't like to throw games here and obviously we like to try and do our best in all 3 competitions, but sometimes unfortunate games happen and we were disappointing yesterday after starting well and getting the early lead.

It's a pity, better luck next time!

my opponent, having lost the first leg, in a few minutes you will present in the field with 2 new players ...... both 9 stars.

I will probably eliminated!

I try with a defensive form, turning my 3 5 2 V Style in 3 1 4 2

I remember last seasons cup, I win first leg, then opponent who was a higher level spends 500T and fills his team will new scouts for the new season and blows me out of the water in the second leg and not suprisingly I lost.

[Kop FC]

Got my return leg of the cup in a few hours! versing an opponent who is a level above me however equal quality
after a few transfers made by myself! Have to come back from a 2-1 deficit even tho I had more shots and possession!

The plan is to counter her 4-4-2 with a 4-5-1 V with red arrows on DMC, AMR/L and DL and DR! Attacking mentality, mixed passing, own half and unsure counter or offside! Debut game for Barat the new scout and Michel

Any extra help is always appreciated, will defiantly report back with results!

Royal Rumble Cup - First Round, Second Leg

July Fourth 2-2 red star

July Fourth 110.2 3N-1-3W-1-2 - red star 113.4 4-3N-1-2
red star win 7-3 on aggregate

July Fourth are eliminated from the Royal Rumble cup after a spirited 2-2 draw against red star in the second leg, July Fourth started the game quite well with Papaleo and Michu being better slighly supplied from Petersen and Jurc this time round, We took the lead on 27 minutes after Papaleo squared off a pass to give Michu a brilliant chance to convert and he made no mistake, Michu should of made it 2-0 5 minutes later but he put his shot wide, hadn't he converted that chance, he could of got us back in the tie. However not suprisingly red star being a good string side found their way into the game and new signing Ghiorma was a commander at the red star defence and we found it difficult after that. Maccaroni had a run on goal on the hour mark and equalised on the day, then 7 minutes later he converted a free-kick, July Fourth didn't deserve to lose the game on the day and in the 88th minute Michu made a move past a defender and got his shot on target for a 2-2 draw and after that we would rue Michu's earlier miss which would of won us the game on the day but still we would of been elimated.

It was a better and more spirited performance from July Fourth today against stronger and higher level opponents and I'm happy with that. We can move on to the rest of the season to concerntrate on the 2 more important competitions without having to worry about a run in the cup. It's no financial loss as we will play many friendlies that bring in over $2M a game at $8 a ticket and we will probably play appoximately 80 games against fodder teams.

Goals: Michu (27,88) Maccaroni (60,67) MOTM: Maccaroni

thanks to its two new signings, the quality of its 11 rose to 47.1

This led me to change form, to move from a 3 5 2 V Style very offensive to a 3 1 4 2 defensive, and made me use a defensive minded and counter



thanks to the counter, I immediately made goals with Brasilian ST Rivaldinho, on an assist by other ST Santambrogio, so I took the mindset from defensive to very defensive, and I finished the match with a victory!

I hope the 2 new super players under contract to kill me to serve my opponent to win the championship and the Champions League...... in the meantime I enjoy the victory
