Got a 0:0 away draw and I'm through to the 1/8-finals after that huge 4:2 in the first leg where it was 0:2 on half time. Waiting for my next opponent - probably yet another 7 or 8-level team.

Still, with an MC getting the red card in that game and another MC suffering YET ANOTHER 4-day injury in trainings afterwards - it's quite disappointing for a game from which I expected some relief after all the problems I've had in the past week. Just sold the red carded player for a price lower than his value (go figure, when I want such a player at that time of the day - it's a bid war) to prepare for an expensive replacement. I just hope I can get one and for the injury spree to finally end, so I can finally count on my full squad.

2 seasons in a row getting to this stage is quite the achievement, considering everybody's complaints about not being able to get past the preliminary matches. So at least I have some bragging rights, but I'm not giving up yet! Team that eliminated me last season went to the final and I almost beat him, so I'm hoping for some better luck this time around.
