[MylesKnight]

Match is underway in Dallas, but due to Technical Difficulties , no reports as of yet.

"The match is currently being played, but no reports have been arriving yet. Please try again a little later and we have hopefully been able to establish contact with our reporter at the stadium.

[robbgmaier]

6 minutes in and no reports yet, AAAERRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHh

[mckerney]

just got contact 7 minutes in, nearly 12000 spectators with good weather. And nothing has happened yet, which is a good sign with my strategy.

[GoldenEagle]

My first report.....

The match is in progress, 7 minutes of the first half have been played.
The crowd of 5116 turning up at Golden Eagles FC Arena today were greeted by some nasty showers of rain. Golden had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Gretschmann - Larragoiti, Vera, Dorsey - Arevalo, Jansson, Kärrlind, Chu, Fernández-Cuesta - Morin, Ortega Gutierrez.

Wisconsin had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Barbee - Mattingly, Bilbao Ubillos, Chatman, Herrera - Craven, Hurt, Grantham, Sherrill - Goins, Knight.

5116???? Thats it? The D6 bot team I played drew more than that. Argh!

[robbgmaier]

I had rain also GE, but I still got 9K out of my 10K stadium, so I can't complain, I haven't had bad weather yet. Now, if I can just score some goals........

(begins chanting, and rolling scads of D20 )

[Masked]

Looks like a good start for the Spikes!

Complex had a good opportunity to score the lead goal but the home team goaltender Mack Mccracken saved Lance Still´s shot headed for the top corner. The terraces were silenced in the 8:th minute as Complex´s Tony Spicer put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack from the right. Complex had, after 9 minutes of the game, worked the left side industriously, creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but somehow didn´t achieve closure.

[rexalllsc]

Woo hoo! Sellout!!!!

Else United - bixel's boys

Date: 4/7/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 5554967
Arena: Else United Arena


The match is in progress, 9 minutes of the first half have been played.

A scorching day at Else United Arena, where 10000 spectators were in place for today´s match.

United tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Browning - Braxton, Chance, Jean - Mcqueen, Mcmillan, Esparza, Purdy, Walker - Duvholt, Diaz...

Got 46 000 for the sellout

[Doug5984]

My first update....
The match is in progress, 9 minutes of the first half have been played.
At The Cyclone Center, 9417 punters turned up, and despite threatening clouds at the horizon, no rain came. Louisiana tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Alcolea - Stubblefield, Saxena, Kvarnbrant, Elefterescu - Blissenbach, Quigley, Kumar, Curran, Moon - Aguilera.

Oklahoma started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Donovan - Coughlin, Boyce, Miller, Abaroa - Keaton, Purcell, Barry, Fuentes - Salgado, Song-Ming.


I was really hoping for more than 9,000 people....I just upgraded my stadium to 14,050 seats...and only 9,000 show up....damn rain clouds

[Coffee Warlord]

Galesburg took the lead after 6 minutes with 0 - 1. Ken Shaffer placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Tommy Joe Poulin increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2. By now Galesburg were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead.

8 minutes in and we pulled back. This could be bad.

[robbgmaier]

Elijah Dupree was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn´t move the ball around with his usual grace.

friggin rain

[robbgmaier]

sorry about that early 2 goal lead coffee, I know how terrible it can be when you score a bunch of goals _

[rexalllsc]

United could have put themselves ahead in the 10:th minute as Anthony Esparza missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right.

This is how you repay me by letting you play in a league game?!?!

ASS!

[Coffee Warlord]

Pulling back early is usually the kiss of death for me.

edit: LDA didn´t give in and in the 12th minute Dustin Robinson was able to put the 1 - 2 goal away after a play from the right.

And there's why.

[robbgmaier]

In the 12th minute the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Oriol "double stuff" Villaver flipped the ball after a cross pass from the right

boo

yah

[rexalllsc]

I never would've thought that two text-based soccer games would give me the most hours of gameplay and enjoyment of any game ever.

[Calis]

I've still gotta get into this Hattrick deal, of course...I am sitting here clicking refresh on my game every minute or two, so maybe I'm hooked without realizing yet.

Nothing like playing CM4, and checking in on Hattrick occasionally for an evenings enjoyment.

16 minutes on my game, and not a highlight to speak of for either side.

edit: Sheesh, I just realized, I'm playing *3* Soccer games right now! CM4, watching Hattrick occasionally, and playing through a Euro Championship on Winning Eleven 6. I think I've crossed the line.

[robbgmaier]

I think coffee is suffering from premature withdrawal. Probably should check with his family physician for some remedy

[AccardoOutfit29]

Ahhh, other team just scored a goal on us. First time that has happened in the past 4 or 5 games.

The match is in progress, 16 minutes of the first half have been played.
9822 spectators arrived at Lion's Den Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Ilhavos had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Gaston - Mcalister, Xiaoshuang, Ortiz, Burr - Browning, Guillen, Black, Gamboa - Hebert, Taylor.

McGees started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Kuykendall - Wood, Dillon, Cordero - Duckworth, Amos, Churchill, Millet, Taylor - Dunbar, Hyun-Suk.

Ilhavos took the lead in the 15:th minute of the game by 1 to 0, as Rory Hebert elegantly received a pass going deep, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.

[GoldenEagle]

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Golden took the lead in the 15:th minute of the game by 1 to 0, as Gabriel Dorsey elegantly received a pass going deep, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.

[Doug5984]

"After a fine move down the middle Jeffrey Quigley nearly gave the home side one up in the 13th minute. The finishing shot went just wide, though."

Quigs!! How could he have missed that shot....still 0-0 at The Cyclone Center, 18 minutes in.

[size=large]First Coast Conquistadors at Jayhawks of Big D[/size]

Sunday, April 6th, 2003, 7:00pm est (6:00pm Dallas Local Time)
Jayhawk Arena - Dallas, Texas
Match ID# - 5547298

Records - First Coast (1-0, 0-0 in Division V.114), Jayhawks (1-0, 0-0).. First Coast defeated the Tennessee Conquerors (VI.737 CPU Team) 2-1 in the 1st Round of the U.S. Cup, last Wednesday in Chattanooga, TN, while the Jayhawks defeated the Puerto Rico Kickers (VI.649 CPU Team) 3-1 in San Juan, PR, that same evening in their U.S. Cup Round 1 Match.

Formations:
- First Coast - 5-3-2
- Jayhawks of Big D - 3-5-2


14 Minutes into this one, and not much has happened as of yet. The Coast's strategy is to grind this one out with a lot of extra bodies on the Defensive End. We'll see how it plays out.

[mckerney]

18 minutes and still nothing has happened. No scoring, no injuries, not even a booking. Now that what I call soccer!

[RonnieDobbs]

Believe it or not, we have a FOFC battle in the first round as my Wyckyd Sceptre travel to Airhog's Oklahoma City Rednecks. A sunny day with 10500 spectators. 18 minutes in, and no action to speak of.

[robbgmaier]

The referee showed goldurnearss Iginio Pischedda the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,Leroy Abney spent some on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game.

as far I'm concerned, i should be handing out bonus money for every damn gunner we hurt

MatchID: 5553234
Arena: Bolingbrook Utd Arena


The match is in progress, 18 minutes of the first half have been played.
Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 4643 at Bolingbrook Utd Arena today. Bolingbrook had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Barron - Lindsey, Mcgraw, Hyang-soon, Leal - Marks, Lord, Vick, Kraus - Hanley, Herrington.

Tomahawks had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Udding - Carrillo, Gardner, Pitts - Adamson, Woodard, Richardson, Baggio, Hicks - Hooks, Crocker.

Bolingbrook made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in from the right hand side left Brandon Vick completely alone with keeper Per Udding, who made a spectacular block.


-----------

Glad I bought Udding (inad keeper) since my previous best was
a mere (just made) weak other than that, no highlights

[MylesKnight]

Very Nice G.E.

& You're Damn Right Rob... Hurt those SOB's!!

[rexalllsc]

Finally.

In the 19:th minute the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Dennis Jean flipped the ball after a cross pass from the right.


Starting to worry me. Unfortunately, I just transfer listed this guy today (Wing back).

[GoldenEagle]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

21st minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as David Ortega Gutierrez dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Golden.

And my 700th post too.

[Masked]

After 22 minutes we hold a 1-0 lead over the defending V.249 champions.

After the initial offense burst, our defense has really stepped up.

Charles tried to reply with long plays towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitor´s defence got the best of it.

[MylesKnight]

Fred Dunbar tied up the game for the McGees at 1-1.

Ilhavos took the lead in the 15:th minute of the game by 1 to 0, as Rory Hebert elegantly received a pass going deep, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. After an industrious effort down the middle Chris Black could have closed the game off in the 21st minute, but his finishing shot hit the post. 24 minutes into the game McGees´s Fred Dunbar found a gap in the home sides central defense scoring with a long shot, making it 1 - 1. Ilhavos could have put themselves ahead in the 24:th minute as Will Gamboa missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right.

[rexalllsc]

Uhhhmmm...

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, bixel's´s Rodney King got himself booked.

What a shock.

[-Panther]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!


After 26 minutes, Tomahawks' Irving Crocker made his way through the middle, putting the visitors up 0 - 1.

[Masked]

GOAL!!!

Tony Spicer increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2.


That's two for Spicer. Maybe I'll see my first hattrick!

Very interesting! This was the first time I've seen the technical specialty come into effect. Or at least the negative aspect of it, in this case.

"30 Minutes in now and still not much to speak of. The Jayhawks had a good opportunity to take the lead as Stephan Polanco came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of talented First Coast Goalie Sergi Bañó. Nice Play Bañó!!"

[mckerney]

30 minutes, still nothing.

[The Afoci]

Crawfish are tied 1-1 in the 29th minute. We have taken out one of the bastards and 2 or 3 of them have yellow cards. Go Crawfish!

Seems like you remembered to 'charge' your lasers in the locker
room.

[daedalus]

Ugh. Down 0-2 now. At least they're pulling back to play defense now. I mean, it always worked for the OTHER guys when my team pulls back. Right? Right? Right?

At the minimum, we need to score a goal. A shutout at home hurts BAD with our fickle supporters.

[robbgmaier]

This is Bebec A. Kes live from Morgantown with breaking news. We've just learned that Goldurnears owner "bg" Rob Maier has intended to MOTS his match against Arsenel today, but at the last minute, after intense and heated discussions with his staff, finally switched to normal just in time for his coach to give the pregame pep talk. Apparently, it's the coach who caused this consternation to begin with. Being nasty with solid leadership, bg now believes that even with possible upcoming back to back PICS, the team simply can not be subjected to the combined pressures. "I want to get rid of this guy, but we spent 50K just to go from weak to passable, and we won't go into stupid debt at this time, especially since we made need to make purchases to top our division when all is said and done." "Damn it anyway, I'll see more of you later, Bebec."

[rexalllsc]

holy crap...data kings team is losing 0-3

[-Panther]

Allen Lord was just a finger´s breadth away from an equaliser for Bolingbrook, but Per Udding managed to ward the closing shot off for a corner.

starting to look like purchasing him was the best action I made
all week

[rexalllsc]

United put themselves up 2 - 0 when Charles Diaz broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him.

Woohoo
