2003 Team Spirit Cup

I couldn't find a thread so...

Just won 0-1 away to a div8 Brazilian team. Had 60% possession and 14-3 SC in my favour and only scored once... At least I won though, it could've been worse, as Steve will probably tell you.

That 1-0 win follows up a victory in the first round. Still have a few rounds until big money and atm it doesn't look likely my side will get there.

I managed a 2-1 away to a 3rd division Norwegian side, outplayed them without putting my chances away.

 

[JDub]

I was very very luck today. I won 3-1 over a Div 3 Argentina Team with only 40% possession time.

 

[Rollins80]

I played a brazilian manager who had placed his players at random at the field. I already knew brazilian soccer was more about technic and not very tactical, but i have no idea what he was thinking. A miracle that he survived the first two rounds, i won 7-0 though.

Liking this cup at the moment.

3-0 win away against a div6 Brazilian side.
5-0 win home against a div3 Portugese side.
And currently 2-0 up against a div8 Brazilian side...

How the hell have Brazil got to div8 already???

 

[myfatcat]

4 goals in last 18 minutes, youth striker wrapping up his hat trick with goals in the 86th and 89th minutes...

6-0 will do very nicely.

 

[chris boston]

I had 59% possession and 13-3 SC against QPR FC, Premier League holders. Won 2-1, lead from the 7th minute, he got a kind of scrappy goal back but my winner was in similar fashion and in the end I got the result my team's performance deserved, so the scoreline doesn't really matter... but when my new stiker gets some more form and more chances, hopefully I will win games like this 4-0 or so.

 

[myfatcat]

Top result that Chris.

But now you're in the top league, you're missing out on the, well, advantage of the disadvantage of being in a lower league Peeps like rami, me less so, win 4-0 in cups with ease...

 

[Rami]

Just won 4-2 . Last 256 again. I'll see if I can do better than I did in the Heros

 

[chris boston]

Well I'm doing better now than I did when in div1 in cups. But no doubt I'll face a div8 brazilian side and get knocked out... forget losing to div8 Swedes and complaining, now it'll be the Brazilians.

 

[JDub]

Well Ramerpool, I just found out you and I are playing each other in the next round. Good Luck, I was very very lucky to win the last game (Penalty kicks).

[Rami]

should be a good game, our team values are similar

 

[myfatcat]

I've got SC Canasky in the next round.
Currently top of French div1.2 for those who don't know.
They play the 4-3-3, and have top notch players.

Although; comparitive first 11:

SMCF: £2,606,816.
SCC (last game in this cup): £2,681,634.

Might have to bring the 4-3-3 out for this one...

Here's hoping he doesn't do any research on me at all, might stand a chance with the small-side-advantage too

 

[chris boston]

That's Portos' team isn't it?

I have a Spanish div4 side called Zuazo or something. I should win this but it's a cup and I have terrible cup form, plus I'm not the underdogs this time.

Hopefully I can make it, two more matches until the money rounds I think?

 

[Rami]

we have to win 3 more til money rounds

 

[myfatcat]

He's in the bloody top ten now.

I'm screwed.

Surreal Madrid C.F. 2 - 0 SC Canasky

15-3 in SC's to me.

One was a penalty, but they all count.

 

[chris boston]

Nice one, excellent result.

I won 3-2 ... to cut a long story short, 57% possession, 11-3 SC, they equalised at 1-1 from a free kick, then got a consolation back in the 89th minute... scoreline flattered them but I just made it through.

 

[chris boston]

Hmm, I have Real Sydney, Australian NSL Champions and top 100 ranked, any of the Aussies here know how good they are? Or maybe not a good idea asking in this topic if none are still left in?

 

[JDub]

Good game today Ramerpool! I lost my best player at the end of the game as well as my best defender (2nd Yellow card in this cup). It will be hard for me to move on now but it was a fun game this morning.
