Royal Rumble CUP - First Round
red star 5-1 July Fourth
July Fourth KILLED
red star 112.8 4-3N-1-2 - July Fourth 109.8 3N-1-3W-1-2
The Royal Rumble Cup indeed lives up to its name and we were immediately cast over the ropes here against a good red star side that had good character and being at home with a manager who was present for the game. July Fourth got off to a great start in the game with Mensah providing Michu to get an early finish. We held the lead for 20 minutes and we conceded 2 goals just before half time, through Ikhadallene and Herpe. Although still in the tie and the lack of squad depth available to us for any changes in tactics or to throw a defender on instead of playing 2 ST. We just couldn't do it and the tie was killed in the second half, Maccaroni made it 3-1 just after half time and Ikhadallene braced moments after, July Fourth were out of it, Seaman was making errors and our defence wasn't there and our new signing Jurc was living up to his name... LOL... playing like a Jerk. Mensah was the only player in our team that actually was doing any defending. Nordberg recieved a pass from Ikhadallene and tapped it in for 5-1 to add to July Fourth's misery in the Royal Rumble Cup.
In the second leg at home, we will only have pride to play for other than anything else and last season we played a total of 83 friendlies after being eliminated from the cup early, looks like more of the same here this season.
Goals: Michu (15)
Ikhadallene (35,56) Herpe (42) Maccaroni (49) Goldberg (86) MOTM:
Ikhadallene.
I'm disappointed to see what happened here... But I'm not angry this time, at least our opponents went with the squad they currently had rather than investing in 500T to buy scouts like our opponents from last season did.
