All 8 premiership sides got through to the quarterfinals today. Here's where the draw gets interesting!

I've got a whole bunch of young trainees in my squad now, so it's going to be interesting juggling the league and cup squads.

Good luck everyone.

It probably wasn't his best team, but it was very very satisfying to push Thinus and the Bluebulls to a penalty shoot-out in the Cup yesterday. So close, yet so far...

Another semi final against Durban. Cant even tell how many semis we have played together but I remember only winning once.

We have had quite a few!

I had some shaky moments against Jackpool, going behind early before eventually coming through 1-3. Juggling my youngsters is tricky this time around. Luckily, Nazguls look like they're in a bit of trouble so I could get away with a weaker team against them in the league but, since I'm top of the table, I don't want to risk losing there.

I am also tempted to play other players in league game but I am also mindful of the vast gap between Dreams and Durban so might just go for the league and see what just happens in the cup.

Good luck for tonight, Phibeon. I used some of my trainees in the league match but still have a few that will play in the cup, so we won't be anywhere near full strength. I've decided to stick my training program and take my chances.

Youngster managed to get my in the final this season and i am very proud. Lost some big guns the last 2 seasons (David Mahule ect.). Think Marcl going to do the double this season as your defence just to strong and you have some potent stikers that can slot goals on the counter. But going to be an interesting game

In this game I really tried not be defensively as I have done in the past really went with 3 strikers. However the plan did not really work due to lack of possession in midfield. I had hoped the 3 would do the job there but perhaps I played them too wide and not in a more central position.

Congrats on the win.

No surprises in the cup. The last 8 is made up of the 8 Premiership sides.
Here's where it starts to get interesting. :)

Kaizer Chiefs - Blue Bulls
Jackpool - Durban City
Souther Boyz - Rovers United
Mpumalanga Black Aces - Nazguls11

resting some okes going to be very interesting

For the First time ever I am in the final of the Superbowl! Yee-ha! I think I am in for a pasting in the final though.

Well done, mate. No easy task beating the Bulls.

I think Thinus (Bulls) put out his second or third team against me. If he played his first team it would have been at least 5-0 in his favour I reckon. I am still very happy though.
