Rejoice everyone, week 10 is underway

[FrogMan]

Games in Canada have started and more than 30 minutes have already been played... Here are the results so far...

Pintendre Pittbulls lead 1-0 after 34
Walk-In Special lead 1-0 after 36
Goldfish are tied 0-0 after 36
Les Joujoux trail 1-2 after 36
Bbors lead 1-0 after 37

I'm kinda disappointed with my team being only ahead by one, especially since I'm playing my starters today...

[daedalus]

Oh, 'em thuggish Pittbulls. A red ALREADY? Yeeeeesh! :D

[FrogMan]

even worse, that red came to my sole forward!!! So for the rest of the game, I'll be playing a 4-5-0... oh, so nice :mad:

Also, Russell is my best prospect at winning the scoring title, with 10 goals this season while the top guy right now has 11. With that red, Russell will be uot next week, that bites!

[FrogMan]

at the half:

Pintendre Pittbulls lead 1-0 with 85% possession
Walk-In Special lead 2-0 with 60% possession
Goldfish are tied 0-0 with 64% possession
Les Joujoux trail 1-2 with 55% possession
Bbors lead 1-0 with 71% possession

FM

[daedalus]

Ouch.

The 85% possession ain't bad, though. I could be persuaded to be . . . impressed. Just a little. :D

[FrogMan]

I just checked and the first time we played this season, the score was also only 1-0 at the half and I had 83% possession... That game ended 5-0 and I had 94% possession in the second half :)

Still 45 minutes to go, we'll see...

FM

[FrogMan]

it's still only 1-0 for the Pittbulls in Pintendre. It sure doesn't help to play without any forward...

Elsewhere in Canada:
Walk-In Special lead 5-0 after 61
Goldfish are tied 0-0 after 63
Les Joujoux lead 3-2 after 63
Bbors lead 2-0 after 62

Hey, it's 10-on-10 again. You should join us on IRC so we can make fun of your team. In real time! :)

[Eilim]

Bah.. Its much better to make fun of his team without him being here to defend himself. ;)

[bbor]

LMAO

[FrogMan]

HOLY CRAP!!!! They tied me!!! 1-1...

I'll get on IRC in a few, you'll see...

FM

[FrogMan]

just can't believe it, tied the game 1-1!!! I PICed, got 45 for a rating, 85 & 96% possession, just couldn't get any offense going. I'm officially done with the 4-5-1, from now on, it'll be 3-5-2...

heathen....you shall be struck down:D

[daedalus]

Does de Carvalho have below passable stamina?

[BillyMadison]

Tough tie FM... I was updating occasionally...

Well, Fabulous is getting ready to take on team #2 in series v.44, the JMEN... Hopefully we can be competitive, and score a couple of goals to help our cause and avoid demotion.

Yeah, he's got poor stamina. He's the only one below passable on my whole starting 11. So anybody saying stamina doesn't mean much, take this sentence into account:

Raúl de Carvalho was suffering from cramps and had big difficulties keeping up as the opponentes pushed forward.

de Carvalho is a central defender, not an inner midfielder...

FM

[NAIWF]

Today I PIC on the road against a new team that is already better than the one he replaced. It could be a nailbiter or a blowout, I'm hoping for the latter.

[AccardoOutfit29]

God, we are down 1-0 against the 7th place team in the series. I PICed this game too so hopefully it was just a lucky goal.

[NAIWF]

Hyman Bradshaw had a good try in the 16:th minute, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide.

Not a good start on the road.

I've always said it's important for defenders as well. Even if most people disagreed with me. Same thing kept happening to me last season. Like a few games in a row. That was why I said screw forms and did multiple weeks in a row of stamina training.

[McSweeny]

all tied up at 1

[DukeRulesMAB]

PLaying the #1 team in my series at home...

The 22nd minute saw the home team take a 1 - 0 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for Frankfort was William Morales.

Yay!

[BillyMadison]

Almost NO action in this soccer game so far...

JMEN were very close to putting themselves one up in the 5:th minute as Warren Martin got through, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. JMEN tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but kept getting stuck on the visitors defenders.

A GOOD SIGN, those 2 defenders I brought are sticking it to the opposing forwards!

Hyman could'nt bust his cherry eh ? :D

[NAIWF]

In the 22nd minute cheers broke out as Bill Nowak found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 1 - 0 goal in for southpark.


This is great, I'm now losing to a #7 team that started 10 days ago :(

[NAIWF]

After an industrious effort down the middle Bill Nowak could have closed the game off in the 29:th minute, but his finishing shot hit the post. After 29 minutes, Jamey Judd swiftly ran past Mike Fontaine to put away the 1-1 goal. In the 29:th minute the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending and Rob Marcum put the ball away for 1 - 2.



Damn an eventful minute if ever there was one!

[DukeRulesMAB]

Tied 1-1 now...c'mon, guys, a point would be huge here

[Nyarlahotep]

Up 1-0 so far, not really what I was hoping to see by this time. Especially when I see that the guy I will likely tie for first in my series is up 4-1 and already has a better differential than me.

[McSweeny]

bah

down 2-1

[BillyMadison]

JMENs Ovidiu Dobrescu gave, after 34 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right.


Down, 0-1.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Yes! My other striker puts me up 2-1. One of my starting wingers will miss next week's game with his 3rd yellow, but we play the worst team in all creation, so that's fine.

[Nyarlahotep]

went up 2-0.

[PilotMan]

We are up 4- 0, PIC'ing. Looking for more goals, but have pulled back. Had a hattrick by the 23rd minute

[cthomer5000]

I'm playing a new team in my league, so i had to play normal going against a complete unknown, rather than PIC it against a piece of crap bot team. I'm a little nervous since it's still 0-0 40 minutes in. We've missed 4 scoring opportunities. We must be dominating posession though, they haven't seen any action down at our end.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Ugh...after scoring the second goal, the other striker got hurt. My 3rd striker is suspended, so in comes my 5th defender, who's a tub of crap even on defense. He's Weak scoring, Poor Passing, and weak form. Not good.

[DukeRulesMAB]

...but we might be OK, cuz we just scored again to go up 3-1!

[BillyMadison]

BOOOO.... 0-2... 76% possesstion to them... Why? This punk got formidale middies and is barely staying out of debt... Ihope he goes in debt... :).

Hope it doesn't get too bad, and hopefully we can sneak in a goal or two.

[Nyarlahotep]

The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 2. Avengers held the ball, with a clear 83 percent possession rate.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Wow, we even controlled the ball 54% of the time. I'm stunned.

[PilotMan]

The teams went for a half-time break at 4 - 0. Midwest, bringing the final ball possession rate to 80 percent, dominated the battle.

gonna cruise in the 2nd half.

[BillyMadison]

Ow my lord... 0-3.

[BillyMadison]

Crap... 0-4, they pulled back. We Stink.

[PilotMan]

Hud Gunderson hit the ball just perfect in the 46:th minute and could score for Midwest with a fab long shot to 5 - 0.



But we want more.

[DukeRulesMAB]

4-1...I am completely stunned.

[PilotMan]

In the 55:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Jeffrey Crook dashed through, knocking home 6 - 0 for Midwest.

more, please?

[leverb66]

I'm up 5-3 after being down 1-3 earlier!!!!

[cthomer5000]

0-0 in the 58th minute to a brand new team. If we don't win this game, the coach will be fired after a MOTS next week.

[illinifan999]

I'm gonna get blown out. But it was expected. Weak mid vs. solid mid doesnt usually work out too well. :(

[leverb66]

6-3 now...Mickey Dunn with a hatrick!!!

[Easy Mac]

Only up 3-2 on the road. thank god I didn't PIC.

[NAIWF]

In the 58:th minute Manhattan put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Anders Wiling.


What's up with DataKing's Seamen scoring FIVE goals?!? Of course I get to play him on Wednesday *sigh*

[BillyMadison]

You kniow you're in trouble when not ONE of your players has been mentioned in the updates... not even a negative... very very bad.

[NAIWF]

A header from Timothy Quiroz connected with a corner kick after 62 minutes, and the ball ended up with Rubén Calvo of southpark who shot the 2-3 goal.

Uh-oh...

[leverb66]

7-3, and we've finally decided to take a defensive stance.

2 rapid fire goals have saved coaches job (for now).

[McSweeny]

down 1-3... blah... looks like i'll probably end up playing a relegation match at the end of the season

[PilotMan]

George Taylor put Midwest ahead 7 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. After 68 minutes David Alcaide put Midwest ahead 8 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side.


We have not been let down. New scoring record for MISFC!!!

[Easy Mac]

31 minutes, nothing in 2nd half, as usual

[Nyarlahotep]

Up 3-0 now.

[Nyarlahotep]

Make that 4-0 and we just drew back.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Still up 4-1, missed a penalty shot, but I'll live. :)

Unfortunately, the team I really needed to lose, isn't going to. In fact, they're beating the best team in my series.

[Masked]

Tied 3-3 which is a huge disappointment and probably going to cost me the series title

That sucks masked, sorry to see that happen to someone else. I had a draw two weaks ago with almost the same exact differential.

[Nyarlahotep]

Finished up 4-0, but I lost a point of differential for the tie breaker that my series will probably go to.

[GoldenEagle]

Won 7-0. :D

[KevinNU7]

PIC and won 6-0 :)
