July Fourth 118.5 3N-4-1-2 first 19 mins then 3N-3W-1-2 - Kindlkipper SV 109.5 3-5-2 inverted V
This was the second of the dead rubbers in our group stage with us having the small matter of completing another 6-0-0 in the group stages, but it was difficult when Mensah's challenge earned him another red card having recently been dismissed in the 2-2 draw in the league yesterday, Kindlkipper took the lead when full back andre was forward and recieved the ball in advanced position and scored a spectacular goal, this ment Kindlkipper were in the driving seat to earn qualification since a 1-2 loss would be enough to take them through on goals scored, but a Miku corner crossed into the area found Ramirez who headed the equaliser just before HT. Kindlkipper lacked fire power and even playing against 10 men of July Fourth they could not find a way to get back infront, and July Fourth punished them on the counter with getting more corners and specialist Michu was on in the second half, Firstly he found Ramirez to header in for his unlikely brace and 4 minutes later another cross for Vestergaard to score to increase our lead to 3-1, Kindlkipper then needed a goal to qualify, the NGE paused on 84 minutes for sometime and thought about it and Adams and Ramirez cleared off any late Kindlkipper attacks and finish the Group as 6-0-0 winners.
Goals: Andre (39) Ramirez (41,75) Vestergaard (79) MOTM: Ramirez
S/O: Mensah (19)
Team Talk: Another 6-0-0 group stage for July Fourth for the 12th time in their history, 6 in the last 7 seasons in the T-buying Power Training and 6 in the earlier days in the club when we played many inactives and rubbish teams in the earlier levels. The 3-1 loss for kindlkipper was a bit harsh on them because if they lost 2-1 they still would of qualified tonight which would of been quite bizarre but because of that it's GUMUSHACIKOYSPOR that qualify instead.
Other Group Results: defending champions LIVERPOON are eliminated after they suprisingly drew 1-1 on their last group game. That's a shame because we would of liked to have played against them again. Our biggest threat comes from the Group E winners "vito6a" who have bought a number of scouts this season and have an average of 116.2 and they are a likely Semi-Final opponent should be both still be in the competition at that stage. Our last 16 opponent are likely to be SERDAR who are a 5* team unless the thai team wins their last group game by 3 clear goals and they are also a 5* team so no difference in quality between those 2 teams.
