Asunto: US Soccer National Cup

WOW.,, major upset today and I have no idea how it happened. Firehose just got hosed... Played normal and lost to team playing on low that is far inferior.

Firehose took out his big forward with 15 minutes left while tied. He ends up having forwards that weren't much better than the Ragriz defense, drawing out the tie to the end of overtime. Then Penalties decided it. A result that shouldn't have happened in theory, why another goal from the firehoses didn't come who knows.

Wow, a 51 playing it on high just beat me, a 59 playing it on very high 3-0. Apparently this game refuses to let me ever get past this round. That or it just doesn't like the idea of a league 2 team beating a league 1 team. Why oh why do I bother?

I was in league 3 last season and finished in the top 8. Had some favorable matchups and some teams just took it too easy on me thinking I was a league 3 team they'd win easily. This season, I'm already out after being knocked out by Boilermakers, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

JOJO, I think you meant that you were knocked out by the Dancing Meatwads. While I can appreciate being confused with Leggman in PPM, I'm definitely not dominating like he is in hockey.

Also, congrats to the Baton Rouge Bombers for knocking me out of the NC. I was hoping to give my starters another game off (I'm concentrating on league play this season), but it didn't quite work out for me this time.

Nice to see Monroe finally have a big game

wrong one...

WOOHOO!! Great Game Pookie- No matter my placing now that means I get extra special games next season!

Its not a sure thing yet. Only 6 teams go. 3 from NC & 3 from league 1. So you still have 1 or 2 more rounds to qualify.

Thx for nothing...

I think we'll be back to 4 & 4 next season. There's still a chance that 5 of us make it through to the playoffs. I expect at least 4.

In the CWC, my Atomics are in. The Betamax need a good result (2 or 3-0) against the worst team in their group, and the other game can't be a tie (Grassmen need to lose by at least 2, other team just needs to lose). Firehoses should be in as they have a 2 point lead and play a terrible team.

In the ChL, the Boilermakers and FC Corona are both in. The Pooks are in trouble. They were in a really tough group.

Don't hate the messenger. I just didn't want you to assume you were golden and not try to win and conserve energy only to find out being 4th kept you out. Just trying to help!

We're currently showing 8 teams in the international cup next season. However, we're pretty close to the Asians who are only showing 6 teams.

If Africville can maintain its current position in the league, then all of the semi-finalists in the NC will qualify for an international cup. That's assuming we get at least 3 teams per cup. If we could get a ChL champion, that might make it easier for one of the I.1 teams remaining in the NC to sneak into the ChL, but I wouldn't count on my team for that.

Thx everyone.... Very interesting stuff. Any monatary benefits for winning cup or is it just experience and OTR. Got some great teams next 2 games still.
