Asunto: Australia Cup - Reactions

Just watched the match, and my players had a good and welldeserved win there. That first goal by my team was incredibly lucky and almost wrong though.

Anyway the other two goals were fair, the play leading up to the 3rd goal was certainly interesting

Didnt watch the match. But you didnt really need to cover the wings. I moved my good players into the middle to cover those missing.

Im sure it was a deserved win.

You were all lucky this Cup season due to a couple of injuries ......... next one is mine.
It was all fun though ........... good luck to the remaining Cup teams. TBF - you're the best team left at the moment by a country mile. All the best.

:O

never seen you posting in the forums before...

this rare occasion calls for a celebration!!! :D

Lol, n00b.

lol, you mean relative n00b :P

this is only like my 4th season, ya know...

Well beastly has posted in that time as well, just check the II.03 forums if you're still not convinced :p.

Well that was BS, their first goal was a fluke, third was stupid on behalf of my defender, he was going to tackle ten not then tackle then not and by then he was too close.

My keeper also decided he cant save goals anymore,and my strikers just couldnt pull off any shots.

I always knew it was going to be had with arguably my two best midfielders out, but that game was fairly even and could have gone either way which is certainly not indicated by the scorecard
(editado)

first goal for them was fortunate, 3rd was just sheer pace combined with a "feature" of the match engine. Problem was and this always happens is that when a keeper decides he's closest all other players move to offensive positions, which is why the defender left him alone and moved away. Whether this should be the case is another thing, something I've been a little frustrated at a fair bit myself.

Other than that by the flow of the game, was pretty even but I thought Frogs were probably the better side by about 1 goal. Don't think a 4-1 was a good reflection of the game but then again I don't think 6-2 to FCM was a fair reflection of that game either.

Problem I think that stopped you was your defenders retreating too much allowing Drapula the free shots outside the box, and the general passing to Stathakis was pretty poor today for your team's usual standards, although with your mids out that probably explains it.

Probably 2-1 would have been a better scoreline.

On the other game, TBF started strongly with mostly 2nd's against FCM's 1st's (looked like). The tide turned as soon as Rose got the red card. Without using a conditional order to switch Marrapodi back there or some other player who could defend, that left a massive hole for Richter and Storey to exploit, although Kearton gained all the rewards. Was a great game to watch, had that been a 1st side from TBF, it would have been very interesting.

So it's Frogs v FCM in the final. Don't think many would have predicted that at the start of the competition.

Well, I had my money on FCM. And I still do. [:D]

TAB does Sokker betting these days?

didn't you have your money on Chelsea last season :p.

TBF was the only team left previous to this round making my top5...
It's nice to see that the Cup allow surprises and lower rank team to make a good run at it.

come on frogs, i want to see an under dog win :D

hehe i want the win! So glad ive got a bit of breathing space at the top of my league... but i wont be under estimating DVS.

There has been a bit of history between the two clubs in previous Cups...
