As funny note, the game will be played at Midwest Ice Storm Venue: The Icy Pitch.

So, am i going to play at field named like me? LOL, i'm glad that they put my name to their field.

what i dont get is why when teams get knocked out of the winners bracket they are not placed in the conso. bracket...the winner of the conso bracket looks like the third place team, when they really arent even like in the top 32...

Blade : The winner of the Conso Cup is just ... the winner of the Conso Cup and will only be the 33rd best team this season. It is just to keep on playing friendlies and have a little something to brag on ;)

ON another note. I have no other games booked or challenges.

Dead Rabbits FC - ATLxpress 3 - 2

[Celeval]

Dead Rabbits FC - ATLxpress 3 - 2

Late in the match, Dead Rabbits lead 2-1:

ATLxpress´s Francisco Ignacio Oliz left the field after 87 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Tony Truong. In the 88:th minute Rabbits´s Ross Nixon tried to nail the coffin shut, but the shot rebounded off the bar to fall behind the net. Tony Truong was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the enemy box - Jesús María Lahoz managed to kick one of them into 2 - 2 in the 90:th minute. Rabbits made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in from the right hand side left Mladen Jerinic completely alone with keeper Antonio Sánchez, who made a spectacular block.

Oliz is my star winger, Truong was last week's youth pull.

Then...

Rabbits broke through to the left in the 112th minute, Karel Dubois firing at an acute angle giving the home side a 3 - 2 lead. This put an end to extra time, making Rabbits the winners.

Great match.
