The first knockout round of the Champions Cup is over.

-- Man U advance beating M Haifa of Israel 1:0 (over two legs)
-- Arsenal advance on away goals after a 1:1 draw against FC Bayern
-- Chelsea loses to Barcelona 2:0 aggregate.
-- Man City loses to Benifica, 2:2 but they lose on away goals.

Not such a good result for England!

March 23rd, 2019

Watford(1-8-22, 20th) @ Ipswich(3-3-24, 19th)

For the first and only time this season, we are favored in an EPL Match. We're even money favorites at home vs Watford. They're 11:5 to win, 11:5 to draw. We tied them 1:1 at their place back in November. We're 1 point ahead of Watford with 7 to play. Getting 4 points up would nearly guarentee us the extra Million or so from 19th place!

GK: Antonio
D: Kirkland/Fryers/Henrique/Berthet
M: Adriano/Guarin/Donnelly/Gordon
AMC: Kang
ST: Constantino

This will be the last match we see Adriano. Yebda is traveling so we're down 5 men today with 4 injuries still. Guarin starts at MC along with Donnelly. Lets have some fun and attack at home against a bad team.

4': We build up slowly after a foul in our defensive end. Constantino controls it 35 yards out, runs right, passes to Berthet and heads to the area, Berthet ahead to Gordon, Gordon centers it and Constantino is there 10 yards out to put it by the keeper! 1-0

14': they earn a corner, its taken low into the 6 yard box... man how did we not clear that? Guarin takes the blame for missing an interception, midfielder Wedgbury takes advantage and drills it by Carlos Antonio. 1-1

27': A long run through the area by one of their strikers pulls our defense out of position, allowing a man to get open for a clear cut chance... a dive by Carlos Antonio sees it wide and we clear the corner.

32': They buld up on offense, a ball goes to ST Costea... Henrique and Berthet are both on his ass, but neither can make the tackle... Berthet takes the blame... as its drillled into the net. 1-2

39': Constantino breaks free for what looks like a goal... but offsides.

45': A foul and yellow for Smalling for Watford. Gordon takes the free kick from 20 yards out at about a 45 degree angle, he sends a shot bending in from right to left.. the keeper gets to it and parries it away and they clear.

HALF: Our defense is just falling apart on us. I yell at them and tell them this is a must win match, now go out there and win.

55': Donnelly with a yellow.

59': we have a throwin in their end... its taken to Kang who shoots from 20 yards out and misses badly.

68': We have it and build up to attack, lots of passing down the left side before a pass in to Constantino, he turns left by his man and shoots, but its saved and turned over for a corner. Corner is cleared.

73': Well I guess 20th is where we belong. A through ball gets backup Grimes free in the area and Antonio can't stop it... easy goal. 1-3

88': Midfielder Kearney with a yellow.

91': Kirkland a yellow.

92': Gordon a yellow.

No goals in the end, a sad ending to this one, a total failure in a very very winnable match.

Ipswich 1 : 3 Watford

Goal: Constantino (7.5)
Assist: Gordon (6.6)

Kang Soo-Jin was noticeably awful today with a 5.3 rating. Carlos Antonio with a 6.2 and he hasn't really had a good match for us yet either.

-- We'll finish the season quickly tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to crushing the Championship and getting back up here for another shot.
