Asunto: Australia Cup

Next week's round of 16 draw could be interesting as I was seeded 9th going into this season's Cup.
The way I read it, that leaves a possible home game against a fellow A League team or v The Nation's Best, who is relatively new in div 2.

Well, whilst not wanting to risk egg on my face, that couldn't have worked out any better for me.
Cometer gets another go at PAOK....& some old rivalry clashes....albeit with Vivski & Uber as clear underdogs....Vivski not to be taken lightly?

Steel Fury - Chelsea.F.C
Team Moose Power - Achmids Soul
Cool Runnings - Ukmerges ,,Vienybe
CHILE_FC - Tribe
Portland Juniors FC - Stamford Rangers
The Comets - P.A.O.K.
Ginger Nuts - cisco spurs
Melbourne Mongrels - The Nations Best

I'm predicting two home wins. :)

Delighted to get Steel again even though he has left the game. He was my flat-mate about 19yrs ago so happy to beat him even if he’s a bot :)

LOL. You can message him to rub it in!! :D

Oh did you drag him to the game originally?

How funny how many flatmates etc have played this game.

Yeah from memory I think I started first and got him started a bit later.

Need to get him playing again, I believe he can come back in to the current Steel Fury team if he talks to Admins and it doesn't get replaced by someone

I was hoping to avoid the big guns for one more week. In for a showdown already!
(editado)

Didn't get a chance to adjust my tactic or lineup for you. Match is live (I'm not watching) but just saw my supporters mood, and it tells me you won.

I will say congrats without watching otherwise it will probably just annoy me.

Unfortunately my terrible week with things outside sokker, just gets worse

If it's any consolation, it cost $48M to compile a squad capable of matching your team. Even so, you had the better of the 1st half and deserved the lead. One of those unlucky ones that's settled by a shin over the line in the last kick of the game.

I didn't want to meet you at this stage. It was a showdown worthy of a later round.

Your tactic was very good at cutting off passing channels and controlling the ball in advanced areas of the pitch.

Sorry to end your Cup run.

That's ok, just make sure you go on to win it (if I have to lose, I'd prefer to lose to the winner)

Melbourne Mongrels - Chelsea.F.C
Team Moose Power - Ukmerges ,,Vienybe
P.A.O.K. - Tribe
cisco spurs - Stamford Rangers

Time to up those ticket prices & tell my 2nd XI it's only a game. :D

Yup time to bring in some big bucks for you both.

TMP not getting an easy run but I reckon they may get through. If the trend continues they will draw Tribe next round in the Semis and then Chelsea in the final, would certainly be a run worthy of the championship should they get it (knocking out #2, #3, #4 and #1)

TMP are the biggest contender, pulling some nice ratings.

0:5 Melbourne Mongrels - Chelsea.F.C
7:1 Team Moose Power - Ukmerges ,,Vienybe
0:4 P.A.O.K. - Tribe
1:2 cisco spurs - Stamford Rangers


Well, I guess that went pretty much the way most would've expected. The fourth match was a toss of the coin between two evenly rated teams, but Rangers deserved the win based off the stats. The next draw will be very interesting! I'm hoping to avoid Tribe and TMP!

I expected a bit better attendance, but I guess Romaldino's fan mood had a bit to do with it. The week before was rainy, so not a great crowd then either.

Guessing the next match will be a bumper crowd and a big game.
