vileurban fc(D4) - carotte's not dead(D4) – 0-0 32nd

Make it 3-1 for Alf Trickers at 33rd minute. Good thing is I had a full stadium (13200) netting me 46 166 euros ! If I win and move on next turn, I will surely host next game either... Miam, Miam, good money in the CUP ! Ah, and I am playing in PIC mode and was expecting to lose...

FRANCE

Alf Trickers(D4) - FC Pongolie(D4) – 4-2 Half
vileurban fc(D4) - carotte's not dead(D4) – 0-0 Half

Lot's of excitement for Alf, but he seems to be in control. Good luck you two, end of updates until this evening.

4-2 at halftime ! Talk about an offensive game. Both teams are playing 3-5-2. I am playing my inner middies as normal. He usually plays on inner middie as defensive, one as normal, one as offensive. That might explain this high scoring game.

dola, funny thing to note is that my opponent is in the same division as villeurban fc :D

Hey, I know US cup matches don't start until later, but I'm not going to be here to watch or report (damn lab :mad:!). I'm MOTs-ing the game, though, and I hope it's a good one. I'm overmatched on paper, but with a couple of good bounces, I might pull it off. My team ID # is 70384, and the match ID is 6898356.

PS - My newly turned solid playmaker (20 years old) has a bid for $120,000 on him already :) I bought him for $21,000 three weeks ago. I'm kind of stoked :)

Just a friendly reminder for everyone to set your penalty kick orders! Don't forget! You never know when a match is going to go to PKs.

FRANCE

Alf Trickers 6 - FC Pongolie 2 Final
vileurban fc 1 - carotte's not dead 0 Final

For anybody who's bored and got nothing to do before your USA cup matches start in about 2 hours, the Pintendre Pittbulls are playing right now!!!

Team id is 108238 (for you Criollo users)
Match id is 6897533


The match is in progress, 3 minutes of the first half have been played.
The 12000 spectators at Pintendre Pittbulls Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Pintendre had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Osman - Silfwerling, Hellsjö, de Carvalho, Ball - Peltola, Rasmussen, Brouillard, Lyles, Pawelek - Kolokotronis.

upins tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Moraes Garcia - Alexander, Guite, Jokanovic - Pardy, Falkdahl, Holtzclaw, Vallée, Hall - Kliszewski, Amyot.

We could get totally slaughtered but we are shooting for a low scoring upset... This is a former div II team that got relegated twice in a row to div IV. Starting lineup evaluated at about 2.7 millions U$. My starting lineup is probably under 700K, if that...

We are MOTSing the game and this will be the last game for coach Darren Franken"stein", as he is an inadequate dump and will be fired as soon as the game is over. Don't tell him please, I wouldn't want him ot sabotage the game :D

Sell out crowd on a sunny day, what more could I ask for... A WIN!!!

First scoring chance goes to the Pittbulls...

Pintendre created a good opportunity to score in the games 12th minute when Panos Kolokotronis`s hooked ball created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors defenders had a hard time clearing the ball.

I had analyzed his possible lineup quite a lot and he is actually starting a lower ranked lineup than the one I thought he would. Maybe we have a chance :fingerscrosse:

GO PITTBULLS!!!!

FrogMan

I've got you and the goldfish up on crillio, hope the canadians can go 2-0 today like the french :)

Im not gonna be able to watch my game :(

but its better that way... im gonna get killed. I decided to just play my back-ups in a 5-4-1 and PIC it. Hopefully he wont kill me to bad :)

I'm watching...Go Pittbulls! :)

right now, the plan is working. 28 minutes played only scoring chance went to the Pittbulls and we are keeping them quiet with our shutdown 4-5-1 :fingerscrossed:

GO PITTBULLS!!!

half an hour in, and one event between these two games. Is it exciting, or is it zzzzz?

exactly how I want it. Low scoring will be our only chance :fringerscrossed: ;)

You guys may want to keep an eye on my game, since I can't.

Here's the pregame:

Sidekicks: The team is undefeated for 15 competition games and has 6 wins in a row

Metrostars: The team is undefeated for 17 competition games and has 15 wins in a row


NE Oklahoma Sidekicks - Langola's Metrostars

D'oh .. goldfish just went down

Seals´s Carl Smith gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead in the 31st minute with a superb strike from the right.

I had to open my mouth

CANADA

Pintendre Pittbulls(D5) - come upins(D4) – 0-0 32nd
Goldfish(D4) - The Navy Seals(D4) – 0-1 32nd

8 game winning streak goes bye-bye tonight. B team and PICing against a D4 team almost gurantees a loss.

well guys, you will have to keep the hope alive for me. I have to leave. Darn karate lessons! If we drop out of the Canadian Cup, we certainly hope these lessons will be useful in the upcoming FOFC cup :D Beware the Pittbulls and their Sensai FrogMan :)

I see these folks posting Match Id's and such, so what's the easy way to watch another team's match? I just wandered around a bit and found nothing.

60% first-half possession though. That's a good sign.

How's the team's stamina FrogMan?

Threadjack:

I'm playing a guy who has 41 players on his team.

Should I just PIC this game since I'm using my backups? This is our lineups from the last cup games we each played:

G-Vegas FC
Player rating and Team formation

Midfield: wretched
Right Side Defence: inadequate
Central Defence: passable
Left Side Defence: passable
Right Side Attack: poor
Central Attack: poor
Left Side Attack: wretched

Blue Knights
Player rating and Team formation

Midfield: weak
Right Side Defence: solid
Central Defence: brilliant
Left Side Defence: formidable
Right Side Attack: weak
Central Attack: inadequate
Left Side Attack: inadequate

The easiest way I have found is Criollo. You need the team id instead of the match id though.

CANADA

Pintendre Pittbulls(D5) - come upins(D4) – 0-2 62nd
Goldfish(D4) - The Navy Seals(D4) – 1-3 62nd

Things aren't looking good for our friends north of the border.

My starting goalie got injured! :(

FRANCE

Alf Trickers(D4) - FC Pongolie(D4) – 6-2 Final

So, the french duo survive to battle another week.

CANADA

Goldfish(D4) - The Navy Seals(D4) – 1-3 Final

Better luck next year, good luck in your series.

FOFC - 2 The Rest - 2

The USA round kicks off in a matter of moments.....

Hattrick wants me to lose, I'm already gettting screwed over:

Many thought José Manuel Esteban ought to have been awarded a penalty shot in the 2nd minute, as he went down trying to circle the visitors keeper Thomas Parkes.

We sold out our stadium which is always nice. Hopefully it should be a pretty competitive game. Our team id is 71744 if anyone wants to watch it.

The Screamin' Seamen are fielding the vaunted (laugh) 5-4-1 today, with 3 midfielders and only 1 winger. We'll see how this works out for us.

I'm already down 1-0. But I sold out my stadium, and got the 60k. So now that means that the $111,000 I spent to upgrade my stadium to 15k won't hurt me that much. As it stands I lose $12k this week.

Rochester´s Pol Barragán gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead in the 5:th minute with a superb strike from the right

Woohoo!!

The Louisiana Cyclones had the first ever sell out in the new Cyclone Center (14050), and I am playing a 4-5-1 against the 3-5-2....Should be a good game, and I will only be able to post updates for the first half then I have to leave...

Big Big BIG game for me. I need the home game next week. This team just sold a youth pull for 1.2 Million dollars, but thankfully, has not spent any of the procedes. Talk about a chance to squeak by. We also got the first chance in the 3rd minute....

goldurnears had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially in the 3rd minute when Ed Dickey came up alone against Ray Hollins who managed a block.

let's GOOOOOOOOO GOOOLDURNEARS!!!

Damn, down 1-0 early

Marvin Truong sailed high, high above the opponents as he headed the 1-0 in after a corner kick after 6 minutes of play.

My team ID is 72176, if anyone is interested. Should be a good match.

I only sold 5443 seats after selling out all 7600 on Monday.

0-0 early from the all FOFC all match.....

Golden Eagles FC vs Flying condors

down 1-0 already :)

this is gonna be fun

the hooligans are down 1-0 early against a Div III team... needless to say we expect to lose and lose badly

Tomahawks are 0-0 playing FCGoblins (div III) this will get ugly
real quick though. I'm playing B Team PIC and I'm sure he's doing the same but his worst B Team rating I've been able to determine
was wretched mid (same as mine) then it was passables and solids. mine are inads and weaks lol

Team ID: 71138

I did sell 12000+ out of 16000+ seats though

He's playing 3-5-2 and since I only have good rating in 3-5-2
I went with 4-4-2 for extra D
