[MylesKnight]

Froggie will be here.. This is Hattrick, come on now, FM wouldn't miss this.

[Ally]

He's in the IRC room, sort of. He hasn't said anything though. lol.

Les Joujoux are up 3-0 at halftime.

[Ally]

dola. Froggie is manning the BBQ grill. :D

[Ally]

dola dola. Les Joujoux now have a 4-0 lead in the 71st minute.

[Ally]

triple dola. 5-0 and my forwards have yet to score. I wonder what they're doing out there.

[Nyarlahotep]

Damn!! Way to run up the score Ally.

[Ally]

6-1. Another goal for the defence. lol.

Maybe I should learn about this PIC and MoTS stuff, eh? I've always played on normal.

[Nyarlahotep]

I PIC almost every week. If you know you can easily win then PIC. Otherwise I play normal (3-4 times or so) and one or two times I MOTS.

[robbgmaier]

I'm here, if no one else is :)

[Nyarlahotep]

Rotten bastard took out my best defender and scored.

[Bee]

My first sell out. My team (#1 in my series) against the #2 team in the series. Both of us from Virginia (Fairfax vs. Reston). The crowd is split evenly. Should be a good match.

[NAIWF]

My opponent missed their first shot of the night. They are avergaing 5.6 goals per game, so I'm not going crazy just yet.

[BillyMadison]

Byron Greco was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the enemy box - Stephen Moran managed to kick one of them into 1 - 0 in the 30:th minute.


FABULOUS! up 1-0!

[NAIWF]

In the 31st minute the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Yang Yun-xian flipped the ball after a cross pass from the right.

Well at least I don't have to worry about getting shut out at home 2 straight times. I'm just hoping I don't blow the lead like I did at their place, although that does seem likely.

[BillyMadison]

2-0... And we pull back... WHY?? STINKS!


The nice combination meant 2-0 for Fabulous!. The structure of the game started to change as Fabulous! decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone.

[BillyMadison]

3-0 Fabulous!

In the 37:th minute Fabulous! put themselves up 3 - 0. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Wolff Prast coming up from the left, who proceeded to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home.

[NAIWF]

In the games 34:th minute BoozeHounds´s Donny Schafer fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Donny Schafer for taking a dive. Seemingly due to lack of experience, Brad Sheldon needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. The referee showed Manhattans Narcís Alicante the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.


Damn, I could have pulled ahead there. How come my excellent set piece guy never makes free kicks?

[DukeRulesMAB]

Up 3-0 PICing, but bad news as one of my middies went down to injury.

hey everyone!

Yeah, I'm alive and well. Didn't know my starting of the weekly games was that important for you all ;)

As Ally reported, I was on IRC, then it was dinner time, well enough of all this. My Pittbulls got pissed after last week's tie against a lowly bot team and I decided we'd go normal this week, with our full "A" team... Result: 5-0 win, 88 & 94% possession and the following ratings,

[BillyMadison]

4-0 with 71% at the half for Fabulous!.

[Easy Mac]

G-Vegas took the lead in the 29:th minute of the game by 1 to 0, as Harry Ortiz elegantly received a pass going deep, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.

Halftime score was 1 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by G-Vegas, with an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball.

Currently 1 down on goal differential in the league.

[Masked]

Halftime leading 6-0. My opponent will be playing the second half with only 9 men. Unfortunately, I lost my starting goalie to a bad foot injury in the 44t or 45th minute. Possession 68%.

Should be a fun second half.

[TonyR]

I have scored more goals this game than I have all season.
4 - 1 lead with 72% possession! Away game.

[-Panther]

Starting off, underestimation of the opposition made Tomahawks players perform way below their normal capacity.

that's NEVER good too see when updates first come in :(















But then, it's followed by this:


A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 1st minute allowed Wayne Hooks to score 0 - 1 for Tomahawks. In the 5:th minute Tomahawks put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Martijn Lenssen. In the 28:th minute Tomahawks put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Sebastián Marino. By now Tomahawks were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Kurtmartin Heinrichs of Tomahawks received a yellow card in the 34:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Tomahawks´s Wayne Hooks made it through the home teams defence in the 39:th minute, and had only to place the ball in an unguarded goal when the home side´s defender sprang up from the left, clearing the ball on the line. In the 39:th minute Comins Benjamin Guinn received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 0 - 3 was the half-time score. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Tomahawks, with an impressive 81 percent possession of the ball.

:D I PICed aswell (overconfident for a PIC is pretty bad eh)

I'm now down 3-1 at the half, although posessing the ball 59% of the time. A comeback for at least a tie isn't totally out of the question since my posession should rise in the second half.

I wanted to MOTS this game, but with 2 other fairly tough games in the following 3, didn't think I could risk it.... I should have.

[Nyarlahotep]

Down 0-1 and somehow the cockbite managed a stand off at my place.

[lytic]

cut down on the sports shrinks panther!

[larrymcg421]

Purple Pirates here.

I've been behind all along and at one point was down 3-1. Scored a goal in the 30th minute to reduce to 3-2.

Yep, you read that right. 5 goals in the first 30 minutes. Nonce since, though. I have hope for the 2nd half, since I've controlled possession 65%. I need this one to get out of auto relegation zone. I do not want to be in Div. VI next year.

[lytic]

I'm almost certain I won my game... but I'm at work and can't check to actually see the score.

16420 spectators arrived at Starks Pond, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. SouthPark had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Sheets - Cloud, Davis, Hwang, An, Hamel - Linder, Gant, Doménech, Mcnutt - Donaldson.

Gooners tactics involved an interesting 0-0-0 combination. They fielded: - - - .

The visitors weren´t able to produce at least 9 players, which is the minimum amount allowed, so they had to concede to a walk over. The spectators, who had all been looking forward to an exciting game, were of course very disappointed. The match ends 5 - 0.

[lytic]

yuk, only half full...



...or is it half empty?

[Masked]

In the opening minutes of the second half, the Spikes add another to go up 7-0.

[BillyMadison]

5-0 Fabulous!My wretched scoring Middle Defender has 2 goals...

[McSweeny]

[DukeRulesMAB]

5-0 now; this other team is pathetic, truly.

All three midfielders have now scored, 8-0

Shocked after going down 2-0 in the first two minutes, my team is finally getting it's shit together. We went into halftime 3-1, and have pulled to 3-2 in the 63rd minute. C'mon boys! We need at least a tie here!

This is great for Shaolin. Indy Racing and the Minute men are going to lose, meaning they'll leapfrog to #5. The odds of avoiding relegation have just improved considerably.

[robbgmaier]

yeah, that Shaolin news is really cool, I wonder what he'll have to save in his dynasty report about this one In yet another match we had absolutly no business being close in.... :)

Greast news for the Purple Pirates.

My passable/inad midfielder in wretched form equalized 3-3 in the 50th minute and my 19 yr old forward, purchased only a few days ago scored ther go ahead in the 66th minute for a 4-3 lead. Now trying to hold on to the lead.

[Nyarlahotep]

Woot!!! We equalised.

[Masked]

And it continues

Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 82nd minute Complex goal, making it 0 - 9. Eber Basoa Rivas was noted down as the scorer. In the 84:th minute Complex put themselves up 0 - 10 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Jerry Bartram.

[Masked]

dola

0-11

[lytic]

dude, I need to go to your series for a season!

[NAIWF]

80 minutes into the game Tim Thomas had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Anders Wiling. Manhattan put themselves up 3 - 1 when Anders Wiling broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. In the game's 86:th minute BoozeHounds´s George Williamson limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue.



Shit, my best defender is down, but I'm up 2 against the # 1 team in the series with 4 minutes to go!

My opponent is the third or fourth best team in the series, but it looks as if he has quit. He started a 2-5-2, and then lost a guy to injury and had no subs.

[Nyarlahotep]

Well all I could manage was a piss poor 1-1 draw. I have never been so disappointed in the outcome of one of my matches.
