Yeah very good game between us, I enjoyed that quite a lot even though we were well beaten in the end lol... I must admit I kind of gave in once you went 4-1 up. I think we knew the writing was on the wall for our lower level team. Of course next season, we will make the same offer to play again if there is no other offer. Your more likely to get a forum response if you create a topic for it though.
Interesting to see how both managers wrote a match report on the same game so other people can get a comparison.

So this season is over (lvl3 here). Let's see:
- failed miserably in the Cup (top 16); was just unlucky since the opposition in the 1/8 was waaay too strong for me. Btw that guy went on to grab the trophy.
- ranked 1st in the League; struggled in the opening matches but after some activity on the transfer market things got a lot better.
- miraculously made it to the CL final, lost 1-1 (P). The penalty series was the defenition of epic fail but I'm content anyway.
LEAGUE ROUND 26 - FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON
ALPDER 1-3 July Fourth
Kevin Mensah Testimonial
ALPDER 113.5 - July Fourth 120.1
This game was billed as the 'Kevin Mensah Testimonial' in the last few minutes leading upto the game, we decided that Mensah should assume captain, free-kick and penalty taking roles in his final appearance for July Fourth in 7 seasons. As much as I would like a player of Mensah's importance to remain at our club, there must be a time when a player has to move on. Mensah infact had a brilliant game to be fair and a team of ALPDER's quality is never easy to beat. July Fourth with everything wrapped up it was just simply a run-out for some of the out-going players along with Miku and Papaleo who both played 90 minutes for a fair race to the finish of clubs top-scorer this season. After a cancelled out 45 minutes we took the lead just before half-time when there was a handball in the box and Mensah sent the keeper the wrong way to give himself a goal in the way out of the club, The second half July Fourth kept creating plenty of chances but it was a Stuart corner that was crossed in for Michu's 20th goal of the season which from a great start this season is a disappointing total for Michu, ALPDER pulled a goal back on 67 minutes with Ahn curling it past Seaman. Petersen scored a goal from a setup from Miku and he has something to remember his time at the club. There was a chance each missed in the dying moments for Miku and Papaleo but the both put it wide and Mensah had a free-kick and a chance to work his magic one last time but he hit straight into a defender, but it was good performance by a team containing a number of outgoing players like Seaman,Adams,Petersen and McNamara who also leave the club in which the latter also spent 7 seasons at the club.
Goals: Mensah (45 PEN) Michu (61) Ahn (67) Petersen (71) MOTM: Ramirez.
Injury Report: Diamond Out 3 days: he will return on Tuesday for the start of the new league season along with Pietropaolo.
Team Talk: That wraps up the league season and a very good ending to a what has been a special and memorable season for the club. Nobody would of predicted a July Fourth treble at the beginning of this season. The winning margin this season is 7 points after Batigo United drew 0-0 this morning.
FINAL TABLE:
*Retired From Top Eleven*
season over, CL semis reached and lost, league 2nd place (unless the expected first slips up in his last game of the season against a mediocre team, which is VERY unlikely). Not too many injuries, but I got hit hard by the loss of booster vids. I bought 2 scouts and 2 nice 18 year olds during the season, so actually my team can carry over as is into next season. I might need a new DC/DMC since one of mine is getting 22, and I still need a decent right winger, but the situation is much better than at the start of the last few seasons.

In another 90 minutes I have an important league match ... I need to win this match with at least 3 goals difference to get the 1st place and win the league ... will see how it goes ...
The decision for July Fourth's Player of the Season has been made and the decision is unanimous can you guess who it is?
