主題: I.1

Thought I would share my player summary's for a bit of reading. Wall of text I know but some might find worth a read.

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing

Well written N8dawg50, good read
Colah creek was right at this stage Australia will have 4 teams in the cups next year as trueblue & I both advancing has pushed our average coefficent higher.

With the 5th team in the superleague cup too.... Looks like the top 5 are clear in I.1

Superleague cup qualifying goes off the league cup at the end of the season so anything can happen at the end of the season when everyones players are tired.
I got to finish the season well so i can get back into the top 4 so i can play cup winners cup football again

Some huge matches on tonight! Good luck.

Highlights tonight include:
Game 1: [soccer_team=10] vs [soccer_team=4] : This ended in a nil-all draw last time they met, the first "non-win" in the league for TrueBlue for... just a very long time! Will True Blue exact some revenge tonight and dent The Prestige!

Game 2: [soccer_team=36516] vs [soccer_team=36520] : If my memory serves me correctly this is a brother v brother match. The Knights have flown out of the starting block, but Renamed is fighting for that top 4 spot. Will the distraction of working out a new name for his team be too much for renamed. Last times these teams met is was Good Knight with a 4-1 drubbing!

Game 3: [soccer_team=47] vs [soccer_team=65294] : Arguably the pick of the 3 matches, this is a fierce derby with two team hell bent of beating each other. These teams have been at it each other every since establishment with Highlanders winning the establishment battle (Highlanders on 2nd Jan 2011, and FC established 3rd Jan 2011 ) It will be Very High intensity all the way. The last time these teams met in round 2 it was a SHOCK win 1-0 to the Highlanders. A biased assessment sees FC struggling the last few weeks, whilst Highlanders have just been quietly keeping low under the radar. Bragging rights are significant with this match. I will be sitting down with a beer and watching every play live, and yelling at my PC screen and the PPM engine!

Good luck others, and may the best team on the night win!

My Predictions
Trueblue United 3-1 Prestige
Renamed 36516 2-0 Knights
FC Kangaroo 2-2 Highland terriers
Lol at Good Knight to hahaha

Things are looking very good to get four (or five including SLC) teams back in the international cups but it's not guaranteed yet.

Also I don't think it's the top four in the league. I think the top two in the league go into the Champion's League. Then the top two teams from the cup who aren't in the CL go into the Cup Winner's Cup. So, if the season finished as it is now, Knights and Trueblue would go into CL while Colah and the winner of Prestige and Renamed go into CWC. If Knights drop to third in the league, the best they can hope for is Superleague Cup.

I didn't know that thanks

Happy to get the draw against renamed as i was missing a few key players, devastated that my striker got his 4th yellow and will miss the game against Colah though.
I wont stand a chance without him, might have to concede the game .
Hopefully i can keep the one point advantage for the rest of the season and hold onto second

Pretty close predictions... Results are in:

TrueBlue United 3-0 Prestige
Comments: Winning easy on Low Intensity.. enough said.

Renamed 36156 0-0 Knights
Comments: A defensively focussed game by the Knights, and many more shots by Renamed, but little separating the teams - they ground out a 0-0 draw. Man of the match a goalie.

FC Kangaroo 0-0 Highland Terriers
Comments: A heroic effort by the highland goalie after his team lost one of their best defenders with a red card in the 28th minute for a minor elbow to a head! A very lucky draw achieved by the highlanders with Man of the match a goalie also. There was total uproar at the PPM engine in the 28th minutes from the manager watching, he almost got a ejected from the ground also!

Great Effort by you to draw the game after having a send off at the 28th minute.
Disappointed with the nil nil draw to be honest but the season goes on.

The Coach of [soccer_team=47] was called off the bench by officials in 75th minute, the child strength of the shot seems to be too much to handle the emotions for him. He said the failure of Alfréd Hromádka and defender Zoltán Péter was major. He also let know the local newspaper that there may be huge consequences even one of those players could be leaving team anytime soon! The local news also quoted title: 'This seems to me like a joke match, how could be possible that the team can't play well without booked captain Ryan Blackley ?!?!
Further inside article is another quote: 'Does our captain wear magic boots so w/out him the team can't manage beat even weak opponent? Four times he didn't play and four times we lost the points, this cannot happen if the team has the quality to play top 6! The 8th spots is a huge disappointment and we look funny in eyes of our opponents!'.
Additional critics comes to home team:'Did u guys expect that against ten players u can enjoy the australian Sun, put suncream during the match, lay down and take a short nap so the goals will fell into the opposite net by itself?!
How could we score if we can hardly hit a net?? And when we finally did, it was only few of good shots and then Anton Michlík came up with couple of amazing saves. He got most of the credit that [soccer_team=65294] stole the point from Sunny's. If we play like this, we may be happy to save the spot in the elite league for next year!' After that Suromias stormed out from press conference...

Well done, u overstepped your shadow!

Congratulations [soccer_team=10] on a 3rd straight National Cup win.
