ST: Do Van Hau/Andrew Keen/Nguyen Van Tien

14 - *eyeroll* 0-1

We make a couple subs that don't matter at half.

67 - Van Vinh hits the corner to Van Phong and it's headed right towards Van Tien. Defender rejects this one, but Keen nails the rebound 1-0

That's 7 guys signed at 4.3k a year, or 30.1 total payroll. If we ditch everyone else on the roster right now, that's 53.5k gone, or a 23.4k difference - room enough to keep a couple dudes around.

Unfortunately, the registration window is closed so I can't put any of these guys in yet.

vs Ca Mau (7th)
G: Dao Chi Chong
D: Le Phuong Nam/Nguyen Van Tuan/Dang Tran Hoang Nhut/Truong Ahn Tuan
M: Nguyen Van Vinh/Dang Anh Tuan/Nguyen Van Phong
ST: Do Van Hau/Bui Quang The/Andrew Keen

38 seconds - Van Hau runs down a longball, short dribbles, and centers to The, who has really flourished since we switched to the 4-3-3 Narrow. 1-0

8 - Van Hau plays it long into box space and Keen runs it down. Three defenders start to converge, but they're too late, as he rocks the power shot in 2-0

59 - Phuong Nam switches to DR, Van Phuc coming at DL. Off goes Van Phong for Ngoc Anh

64 - Phuong Nam intercepts, passes to Ngoc Anh and there's the long ball down the right flank that Keen grabs, dribbles into the box, continues cutting left, and fires in his second score 3-0

8.8 PotM for Andrew Keen, 8.1 for Bui Quang The and 7.5 for our ancient DC of the 4 names. Good, solid win, though it should have been by even more.

Thanks to all the youth signings, we lost $3.84k last month, our biggest drop of the season. With another American coming in the offseason, I think it's safe to say Andrew Keen will play somewhere else next year. He's just too expensive.

ST: Do Van Hau/Bui Quang The/Andrew Keen

Big match here. 4 games left and we're a point behind them, 2 points behind the playoff spot.

24 - Van Phong has acres of space, so he plays it up and to the right a bit to Keen for the cross and Van Hau storms in to sock it away 1-0

41 - Van Phong on the corner to Van Tuan and there's his first goal for Binh Phuoc!!! 2-0

54 - Phuong Nam switches to DR; Van Phuc on at DL. Van Vinh takes over for Dang Anh Tuan at BWM after they score. Yep, we've seen this movie before 2-1

58 - FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! 2-2

91 - Phuong Nam, largely responsible for giving up the two goals, plays it to injured The just outside the half circle. He taps slightly left to Van Hau and the miracle strike sings into the upper corner of the net!!!! 3-2

93 - YOU FUCKING SHITSTAIN PHUONG NAM1!!! YHOUOTHAWOFGHWEGHA ATHROWIN RIAGH TASOHTOASHFOAS FUCKING OFOFENSES SDFNASDOHGASOHOASO 3-3

TWO FUFKING MINUTSw!!! FUCKED AGAIN!!! CONSTALYT FUCKINGED OUTDVER FUCK THIS GHSGAHAFOGHOAGHOASHGOA!!!!!

Fairoos Khanhoon Welgamage signs a one year contract extension for a $500 raise - now making $9k next season.

vs Mancons SG (10th)
G: Dao Chi Chong
D: Le Phuong Nam/Nguyen Van Tuan/Dang Tran Hoang Nhut/Truong Ahn Tuan
M: Tang Ngoc Anh/Dang Anh Tuan/Nguyen Van Phong
ST: Do Van Hau/Andrew Keen/Nugyen Van Tien

Bui Quang The is out for 3 weeks with injury, so pretty much the rest of the year.

44 - We're awarded a PK and Keen converts easily. You know, if we move up, we can have a third foreign player... 1-0

54 - Van Vinh for DAT

65 - He's not fully back to training speed, but Welgamage is in at DL. I just don't trust that other fucker anymore after his 5.6 last game.

Thoroughly unimpressive win, but we'll take the 3 points.

Nam Dinh officially clinches the league title with 2 games left. We're 2 points behind second place, so need some help, but can get there. Our win also officially relegated Mancons SG.

M: Tang Ngoc Anh/Dang Anh Tuan/Nguyen Van Phong
ST: Do Van Hau/Andrew Keen/Nugyen Van Tien

7 - JFC 0-1

9 - Truong Ahn Tuan's corner is to Nguyen Van Tuan. That's defended off. Dang Anh Tuan tries a shot. Nope. But Van Tien is there to crack in the equalizer on our third attempt. 1-1

13 - Dang Anh Tuan passes in the middle to Tang Ngoc Anh. The groundball rolls past a lot of people into the box, until Van Tien makes a football move and puts it away 2-1

18 - Truong Ahn Tuan hits the skimmer in the air, low and hot. Keen knocks the header in the box right to Van Tien. Cross and Van Hau *just* puts it past the keeper, who did an amazing job trying to recover, and almost did. 3-1

39 - LOOK, YOU SHITTY ASS FUCKING GOALIE - WHEN YOU KICK THE FUCKING BALL AFTER A MAKING A GODDD DAMN STOP YOU DON'T GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE OPPONENTS 3-2

50 - Welgamage to DR and Van Phuc in at DL. Grey guy in for Nguyen Van Tuan

Nguyen Van Tien is the obvious PotM at 9.0, with Tang Ngoc Anh his main support at 7.4

We're in 2nd place on Goal Differential.

It all comes down to the last match of the season. I'll have met my board and the media's unrealistic fucking expectations, because we'll be 4th at worst, but Artemis damn it, I want my frigging shot at promoting up where we can bathe in top league cash and try to get out of this hellhole of debt.
