    Matteo is becoming a bit of a nomad. Hopefully he settles at Watford.

          I feel pretty good about Watford - just hope it's not another RSC Anderlecht type situation when Matteo was let go mid-season by the club.

            Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

            Fixture 1 - (Aug. 4, 2017)
            Watford v Coventry City


            It was a physical match full of yellow cards and one red.

            Prematch: Watford – Coventry City
            It's a new season, a new ball, an old stadium actually - but alas, we are here at Vicarage Road with Watford hosting Coventry City. Only
            one signing for Watford in the offseason, and he's not starting. Lam Matteo created some controversy by leaving Leicester City, but let's
            hope it's not the same for the Hornets this time around. Speaking of last, the Hornets finished one spot from last place in the previous
            season, and Coventry City did not finish too far off. Heida Helguson leads the attack by his lonesome for Watford, while Coventry's Leon
            Best is expected to have a standout season. Watford v Coventry - NEXT!!

            Halftime: Watford 0-0 Coventry City
            An opening nervy match, just as expected - Coventry and Watford are very close together here. Heidar Helguson had the best chance for
            the Hornets when his shot in the 20th minute just flew over the crossbar. Coventry's Freddy Eastwood madea dazzling run through the
            defense, but his final shot was less than desired as it went well right of goal. The football is great, the shout from Vicarage Road faithful
            are of Lam Matteo's name to be entered into the match hopefully soon.

            Fulltime: Watford 0-0 Coventry City
            A free flowing match, but scoreless in the end. It was without controversy however, the referee sending off Tom Cleverley for a sliding
            tackle from behind on Coventry's Michael McIndoe. Lam Matteo's arrival as a center midfielder spakred some attack, but when the ball
            dropped to the feet of Helguson, the striker seemed too confused to do anything with it. Plenty of things to work on, but a point is never
            a bad way to start the season.

            Caution: Eastwood (Coventry) - Cathcart (Watford) - Severin (Watford) Hussey (Coventry)
            Sent off: Cleverley (Watford)

              Championship Cup, 1st Leg - (Aug. 11, 2017)
              Watford v Leicester City


              Danny Graham starts over Helguson in the first leg.

              Prematch: Watford – Leicester City
              Watford begin their title defense today against Leicester City, a side that has not faired well in the Championship. Danny Graham gets
              the start over Lam Matteo and Helguson, while everyone knows Andy King in the center of the pack for Leicester is always a treat to
              watch. The first leg between Leicester City and Watford from Vicarage Park - let's hope it's a cracker!

              Halftime: Watford 2-1 Leicester City
              Danny Graham's double in the first half is what separates the two sides at the moment. But Scott Loach's save on Lloyd Dyer from two
              feet away was magnificent. A really nailbiting match, will Leicester come back or will the champions, Watford, run away with it? It seems
              Lam Matteo is set to enter the fray as well!

              Fulltime: Watford 2-1 Leicester City
              Winning at home is a prerequisite, especially if you are champions, and Watford have abided to the golden rule. Leicesetr looked like a
              better team than last year - but Danny Graham's performance was too much. Lam Matteo came in to face his old team, and while no
              blood was lost - there was a sense of distaste among he and the Leicester players.

              Watford Goals: Graham 15,32
              Leicester City Goals: Clemence 6

              Caution: Matteo (Leicester City)
              Sent off: None

                Fixture 2 - (Aug. 18, 2017)
                Watford v Ipswich Town


                Lam Matteo sporting the team colors in his boots.

                Prematch: Watford – Ipswich Town
                The night is full, and Ipswich are in town to visit for a bit! The Hornets are fresh off a first leg victory over Leicester in the Championship
                Cup, while Ipswich are getting over the hangover that was the drubbing from Newcastle United. Heidur Helguson gets the nod from
                Mackay over the favorite Danny Graham. Graham scored the two goals against Leicester and it is a suprirse to not see him starting
                here. Also a surprise, is Lam Matteo's absence, still apparently not worthy of a start in the midfielder, let alone as striker.

                Halftime: Watford 1-1 Ipswich Town
                John Eustace's goal was matched by Grant Leadbitter's fortunate strike at the stroke of halftime. Watford look like a side that is trying
                to pass the ball into the net, rather than throw everything at the Ipswich defense. While Ipswich is taking advantage of some of the bad
                passes by the Hornets. The second half is shaping up to be more of a chessmatch, but Watford would be advised to mix things up a bit.

                Fulltime: Watford 2-1 Ipswich Town
                Lam Matteo's first goal for Watford turns out to be the match winner in front of a packed Vicarage Road stadium. Matteo's effort in
                regaining possesion of the ball, then a slight dip of the shoulder past the defender, and finished with a precise "dribbler" past fully
                stretched Richard Wright in the Ipswich goal.

                Watford Goals: Eustace 18 - Matteo 75
                Ipswich Town Goals: Leadbitter 44

                Caution: None
                Sent off: None

                    Some decent opening results for Watford their......I like their team now, they'll be 8 years older now so Helguson might be getting on a bit!

                      Yeah I like the cut, but I didn't notice that he stopped the ball then shot quickly - it made sense on how the keeper seemed to be caught off guard.

                      I enjoy the side so far. Helguson is a brut, he simply has no decision making skills so far. Oh, and while the year is 2017 in the story, I forgot to advance the ages of players initially when I started this BAL, so while Matteo has aged a bit, everyone else is about 2 years younger than his advancement.

                      Oh well, I'll make it work

                        Fixture 3 - (Aug. 25, 2017)
                        Crystal Palace v Watford


                        Crystal Palace's Stern John is a veteran, and can score goals at will.

                        Prematch: Crystal Palace (19th, 0pts) v Watford (8th, 4pts)
                        Will Hoskins gets the start over Helguson and Graham, while Matteo makes his first official start in the midfield. Matteo scored the match
                        winner against Ipswich last weekend - and with the American finding his shooting boots, one can only imagine how many more he has in
                        him. Crystal Palace are on a bit of a stint in the lower part of the table, but will be looking to regain form in the rainy affair against the
                        Hornets tonight.

                        Halftime: Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford
                        Malky Mackay will have to find the right words to motivate his side in the second half. No shots on goal from the Hornets, but several from
                        Palace. Stern John's calm finish in the 16th minute is what separates the side, and his strike partner Victor Moses went inches wide in the
                        35th. So far Will Hoskins has not done a thing with the ball, an eerie trend of the Watford forwards this season - maybe we will see Danny
                        Graham shortly.

                        Fulltime: Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford
                        Despite Matteo's best efforts, Watford go down today to a resilient Crystal Palace side, Stern John's first half goal was enough to push
                        Palace through. Questions will arise towards Mackay's decision making as to why Danny Graham was not chosen over substitute Heidar
                        Helguson.

                        Ipswich Town Goals: John 16

                          Championship Cup, 2nd Leg - (Sept. 2, 2017)
                          Leicester City v Watford


                          Helguson shushed his critics of starting the match.

                          Prematch: Leicester City v Watford | Watford lead 2-1 on agg.
                          Malky Mackay continues to shift in Helguson over Graham, something we might as well shut up about now, yeah? Watford come into
                          Leicester with a 2-1 lead on aggregate, the hopes are that Watford can finish off Leicester to keep their title defense alive. However,
                          Nigel Pearson and Leicester City will no go down so easily as Yann Kermorgant is paired up with Paul Gallagher, both strikers who can
                          find the back of the net when the big match comes along.

                          Halftime: Leicester City 0-2 Watford
                          Watford now lead 4-1 on aggregate thanks to goals by captain Jon Harley and Mr. Helguson himself found the back of the net after
                          some nice interchange between the midfielders led by Lam Matteo. Harley almost scored another after being sent on a terrific
                          through ball, but to Leicester's credit, their keeper has shown up to play. It seems it's curtains for Leicester city, let's just see how
                          long till the close.

                          Fulltime: Leicester City 0-2 Watford | Watford advance 4-1
                          The Hornets have advanced, quite easily mind you, two goals for Watford against a less than competitive Leicester side. Lam Matteo
                          was surely the playmaker, and can be seen as the future of Watford in the midfield, he didn't recieve any statistics as far as assist,
                          but if we played NHL hockey, he would surely have had two assists today.

                          Watford Goals: Harley 21 - Helguson 29

                            Fixture 4 - (Sept. 9, 2017)
                            Watford v Derby County


                            Derby's keeper, Kalac, would be the focal point of this match.

                            Prematch: Watford (13th, 4pts) v Derby County (16th, 3pts)
                            Watford are coming off a huge 4-1 advancing over Leicester City, and the confidence going into today's match against Derby is at a high.
                            So high it seems Malky Mackay has opted to start Lewis Young over several other striking options, such as Heidar Helguson who scored
                            last weekend in the Championship Cup second leg..

                            Halftime: Watford 1-0 Derby
                            An own goal by Derby County keeper, Kalac is all that separates the two sides. Lam Matteo looks a bit gassed and we could possibly
                            see the American subbed out fairly early, obviously still fatigued from his last couple of matches for the side.

                            Fulltime: Watford 1-0 Derby
                            Watford secure all three points today at Vicarage road. While not the goal they would have liked, a goal nonetheless even if it was an
                            own goal. They had their chances to add onto the lead, but Kalac made some brilliant saves, one in particular on Lam Matteo's strike
                            from 20 yards.

                            Watford Goals: Own Goal (Kalak)

                            Caution: Lansbury (Watford)

                              Fixture 5 - (Sept. 16, 2017)
                              Watford v Doncaster Rovers


                              Lam Matteo floats a ball into the path of Scott Severin.

                              Prematch: Watford (9th, 7pts) v Doncaster Rovers (11th, 6pts)
                              A match that features similar formations. It's a chess match between the managers, while the players on the field are pawns. Watford are
                              coming off of a somewhat unconvincing victory versus Derby County - so Malky Mackay has decided Heidar Helguson's presence in the front
                              line should render some much needed goals. Lam Matteo starts again, a tireless worker who is stated as being fatigued - but the results
                              are needed, son - pick it up and get stuck in!

                              Halftime: Watford 2-1 Doncaster
                              A bittersweet first half for Watford as midfielder Lam Matteo was subbed out after absorbing a calf injury. Matteo was tackled at the top of
                              the box by Sam Hird, who completely missed the ball. Doncaster took the lead when Chapi took advantage of Scott Loach's intial save.
                              Watford responded right back though through Heidar Helguson, who controlled a high pass in the box, and struck the ball with pure venom
                              past Doncaster's keeper, Telkengkamp. Matteo played a part in what is currently the winning goal by playing a delicate ball over the defense
                              and into the heading path of Scott Severin - who drove the ball into the back of the net.

                              Fulltime: Watford 2-1 Doncaster
                              Back to back wins for the Hornets, Scott Severin's heading goal in the first half proved to be the winner as Watford played defensively the
                              entire second half. Another three points, but at the cost of Lam Matteo's injury - we are told he has suffered a strained calf muscle and will
                              only miss a couple of days.

                              Watford Goals: Helguson 13 - Severin 20
                              Doncaster Rovers Goals: Chapi 11

                              Caution: None

                                TEAMS ANNOUNCED FOR BLATTER'S UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
                                From anywhere to Europe to everywhere


                                (Reuters) -- FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, has announced the joining of several clubs throughout Europe to partake in what is

                                but also the lower divisions as well. Teams such as from England, like Watford FC or Queens Park Rangers are invited despite
                                participating in the lower leagues of the UK.


                                "There is a chance for every team to meet the challenge," states Blatter, "I believe this is how UEFA will succeed in providing teams
                                from all throughout Europe gain exposure to different competition - only good can come of this."

                                - Top two teams from each group advance to the Round of 32
