Well Folks, It's that time again...
July Fourth Season Review
July Fourth Season Summary (Game Season 41, My Season 19, My Level 19)
League
Final Position 1st Played 26 Won 21 Drawn 3 Lost 2 GF 76 GA 15 GD +61
Winning league titles is like a routine now for a club like July Fourth and even placing us in a league with our most fierced rivals Batigo United could not stop us win the title, We drew both games against Batigo united, there was another draw against genclerbirligi and our 2 defeats were both away at Fenerbahce SK and Yavuz Derya, other than that July Fourth were most consistent in the second half of the season and eventually got the wins to wrap up the title with a game to spare and win the league by 7 points.
Champions League
Final Position Winners Played 13 Won 12 Drawn 0 Lost 1 GF 34 GA 7 GD +27
July Fourth won the Champions League and regained the title they lost at the first attempt, we completed another 6-0-0 group stage and also recorded wins in both legs of the last 16 and quarter-final matches, in the semi-finals we recorded a 6-0 win over vito6a but lost the 2nd leg 1-0 playing some reserves, In the final we won 1-0 in a tense match we scored from a free-kick just before half-time and we had to see out the majority of the second half with 10 men after Stuart was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Cup
Final Position Winners Played 13 Won 11 Drawn 1 Lost 1 GF 34 GA 16 GD +18
July Fourth were excellent throughout the majority of the Royal Rumble Cup campaign, unexpected winners of the competition, July Fourth won most of its games en route to the final, only a 2-0 loss against IGDIR CITY and a 0-0 draw with Wardley massive were the negative results in the competition, but when our backs were up against the wall we defended very well and also played an excellent final and responded very well from going a goal behind to win 4-2.
Total Games in all 3 competitions Played 52 Won 44 Drawn 4 Lost 4 GF 144 GA 38 GD +106
This was an amazing season for us, winning the majority of our games across the competitions, 38 Goals conceded is good when you take in account that we played 12 of our matches against L20 opposition in the cup this season, plus facing scout teams such as Batigo United and vito6a and a few other high quality sides that have many 6* players, our defence is what mainly what won us the trophies this season and when we had moments of pressure our defence dealt with it very well.

Performance of the Season
July Fourth 6-0 vito6a (Champions League Semi-Final, 1st Leg)
Playing at home against a full scout team in the semi-final of the champions league, it was important to get off to a good start and we did just that we got a couple of goals just before HT, but the second half we produced our best football and goals were coming in from all directions that evening.
Disappointment of the Season
agger 0-4 July Fourth (League Round 22)
When has a team won 4-0 before and ever felt disappointed? Well July Fourth did just that, In what was supposed to be billed as Top Elevens Spain vs Tahiti... July Fourth's goals mysteriously lacked all throughout the game except from a period of 20 mins at the end of the first half when we scored our 4 goals, agger somehow kept us out the whole second half.
July Fourth Player of the Season
Once again... the award was a tough on paper to give but you have to remember that the NGE tends to credits attacking players more than defensive players on this game for MOTM awards, but I like to take everything into account when I make a decision on who wins POTS, A lot of our reserve players had disappointing seasons, Pietropaolo our new striker was disappointing although he did score 2 important goals for us this season, O'Sullivan and Vestergaard our wingers basically did the job for us and not much more, Miku had an improved season in AMC which almost stole the top scorer award away from Papaleo, Michu as usual had a brilliant start of the season but tailed off towards end season. Stuart did okay, there was time he did good things but he also made his mistakes too. Knight was exceptional in goal for his first season and our defence was solid with Malik,Hogan and Ramirez all doing a solid job.
3RD... PAUL DIAMOND
Our new midfield maestro was slow in the first week but his performances soon got greater by the end of the season as the crunch came he was providing assists and goals when it really mattered
2ND... STACEY PAPALEO
Our experienced veteran striker and Legend for the club was again our top scorer for the 7th season in a row, Papaleo is a natural goalscorer so when Pietropaolo and Michu were failing, Papaleo was still coming up with the goods and still finished our topscorer even with less playing time this season.
THE JULY FOURTH PLAYER OF THE SEASON IS...
DINO CHILDS
He was so amazing in defence for us this season, so reliable and never made many mistakes in defence and also scored a few goals himself too. Whenever we were under pressure in a game it was always Childs wins the ball or Childs wins the tackle every single time, he is a defender that every team would love to have in their team. Unsung by the NGE but for us... He deserves POTS.
Off the pitch performance.
July Fourth made a profit of around £250M this season, it would of been more but we introduced win bonuses for the league of 7.5M per game and when it came to the important crunch matches in the Champions League and Cup we offered the full 15M on 4 occasions we paid out because we won all 4 games. over 200M was paid out in win bonuses to the players. July Fourth end the season with £1.36B in the bank. We are getting closer to the maximum allowed.
Board Meeting.
400T this season has been raised through token farming along with an extra 500T has been invested, allowing July Fourth a 900T budget for next season. They also invested around an extra 420T or something like that at the beginning of last season to ensure we were able to be 1 step ahead of our nearest rivals.
