Good luck for the cup semi finals to all teams left. Hopefully they're entertaining games to watch.
Congrats vivski. I thought I was dealt with harshly there as I had by far the better chances. Not saying you didn't have chances, but I just felt I butchered more shots then you in front of goal.
In the end I was playing for your usual left sided attack and it brought me undone. I also probably had O'Donoghue a bit too far advanced which opened up the middle for you to thread passes through.
Good luck in the final.

The Comets should have been one in front at HT. But too many offsides (12?!) and poor TI positioning hampered your progress on top of Viv's in form GK.
TMP might not have had the better chances but they had more chances in the end and that's maybe waht it came down too because it was quite an even and tight game.
Maybe it's Viv's first cup on the horizon?

Viv's in form GK.
Hardly :p. Formidable isn't what I'd consider in form.
poor TI positioning
I don't think throw ins were that bad really. What made them look that way was O'Toole's low pm, low defense and low technique = opposition free meal ;).
Offensive throws were always going to be somewhat poor because of the formation chosen and so yeah they weren't brilliant, but I'm not likely to score off one anyway with vivski's press.
Offsides are concerning but the majority came in that 1st half due to vivski's quick press. Something to definitely take a look at as I gave away 10 or so against sx on Sunday as well. Probably a little too aggressive placement.

Well yeah but you can eliminate 7 of them off the stick for being no-hopers. You can also eliminate 2 of mine for the same justification. Then it swings the other way and its 10 shots to 8 my way. You could then go into striker levels and gk levels and it would most likely have even more of an effect. However, at the end of the day vivski did enough to get the win and I coughed up a few too many chances down the centre.

Should be, TM doesn't have the firepower up front to do too much damage. Stranger things have happened though.

Considering you scored 2 from 12, I confirm Viv's GK is in pretty good form... or shape or mood, you don't have to read it to the letter to understand that he pulled a great game regardless of what Sokkerian form is.
Your offensive TI were bad, full stop.
They didnt create any danger and you handed the ball back straight away, facts. TI aimed backwards can be efficient sometimes and at least give you the chance to do something with the ball. On the other hand it might give the ball back to the opponent higher on the field but that's a very slim risk one should be wiling to take.
I think you nailed it with your comments regarding the offsides. There's offsides and offsides if you see what I mean :)
Even if it is 10-8 for you on the shot counter after filtering, I think it's pretty even and you let yourself open for a loss by 1 very easily with a shot counter like that.
I mean all thing considered it could have gone either way, that's why I thought it was an even and tight game.

Yep, I can't argue that they were good because they were pretty shocking. The fact is, regardless of what I did with offensive throws I wasn't going to score from one (given my formation), only delay the turnover and so as a result I didn't care too much for offensive throw placements and focussed on getting the turnover ball back from my defense. Wasn't my offensive throws that cost me the game despite them being tragic.

Yep, I had my timing out and got punished for it.

All things considered the result is fair and vivski deserved to make the final. I have no complaints there. I just thought I was dealt with harshly in front of goal (given what I know about my strikers v vivskis strikers and my keeper v vivskis keeper). Probably comes from the fact I couldn't score against 7 men on Sunday and I couldn't score with 12 shots yesterday either. Eventually it builds up and it becomes frustrating that you seem to create multiple chances and fail to bury them.
Back to the drawing board to focus on winning the league and getting some key players back in form.

What a nail-biting game! Very tense all the way through. I think I dodged a bullet today.
Your strikers were incredible today everywhere except in trying to beat Sahara (my Mark Schwarzer today). The way they made my central defence look stupid... taking the ball and waltzing down unchallenged for a shot on goal. With a bit more intelligent play at the back, my central defenders could have prevented several of those 1-on-1s. Luckily Sahara stood tall and when he goes home tonight, he's going to find another storey on his house!
I almost blew it when I subbed Banuta on for Midtsian. His order should have been "if winning by 2 or more" instead of "1 or more". That had me scared! Luckily Lioransas was able to get across to cover (as per the tactic) although it did cost 1 goal.
I think what won me the game was the attacks from the Paredes side of the field. My mids were able to find an angle which opened up your defence like a tin can, for my strikers to feast on the goo within. I was always likely to score from a short cross from Cernikovas, but to get good chances through the front door as well... that allowed my guys enough good chances to win the game.
Could have gone either way today and I thought on balance that you had the better chances. You're right to feel a little hard-done-by. But my guys were better in front of goal today and I'm ecstatic to be progressing through to my first Cup Final!
It was one of the most exciting games my lads have played for a while.

The fact it went to extra time sums up how close our teams are. Go win that final and cap off a deserved major title and qualify for the CC next season :).
Sahara must have 4 or 5 storeys by now ;).

Are you KIDDING! What won it for him was his Illegal tactic. Just look at his tactic name...776.
That's at least 1...2...3.....at least too many people on the park at once.
Pfft Viv, I thought you had more character than that

Congrats on your first Australia Cup victory vivski. Hopefully that qualifies you for the CC next season which is what I'd consider a worthwhile experience even if my stint was only brief ;). I'll have to try and stop you from winning the league so that we get 2 representatives in there, though you're not going to be easy to crack.
Enjoy your cup and well done on a solid cup campaign.
