No mustn't spend money, in debt....don't want to...end up...like poor crawfish...aurrrhhghhhh!!...well maybe I'll go look..

[Masked]

Not going to jinx it this time...

The referee signalled a penalty in the 24:th minute following an offence just inside of the box. Tony Spicer knocked home 0 - 3 just out of reach for the goaltender.

Sigh, at least no one else is around the lab right now.

[illinifan999]

The team played a match. Spectator income amounted to 10 560 US$.

And why do the D6 teams get home field. Now I am in Washingon D.C. to play the Wolves.

Went from losing $36,000 at the beginning of the week, sell two C teamers, and make money off of a friendly, and only lose $6,000. If only I had had a home league game this week.

[illinifan999]

Fighting´s Norman Scruggs received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 28:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 0 - 2. The home crowd was not pleased with that one.

Hit em hard, and often.

[robbgmaier]

Masked, are you winning or losing?

Illinifan - each week, they pair the top ranked team v. the bottom rank team, and work toward the middle. The lower rank team always plays at home.

[moriarty]

A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 17:th minute allowed Dimitris Lalis to score 0 - 1 for Negative

Bought the kid just the other day, I'm so proud. Should be killing these guys though (forgot to PIC).

[robbgmaier]

John Colvin increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 3.

HA - Gimpy the wounded wretched soccer player scores a goal, maybe I won't sell him to The Afoci for advertising rights at his stadium.

[illinifan999]

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

[robbgmaier]

In the games 31st minute goldurnears´s Elijah Dupree fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Elijah Dupree for taking a dive.

He BOOKED the PROPHET

oh, he will pay for that

[Masked]

I am winning 3-0. My coach pulled back after 11 minutes, but my star forward picked up his second goal in the 24th minute. Very similar to the league match on Sunday, when he was shut out for the last 70 minutes.

[DataKing]

Screamin' took the lead after 18 minutes with 0 - 1. Jesper Gravesen placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 33 minutes Arizona´s Karl Friedman contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. The visitors Lucian Tere took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and full backs in the 33rd minute. 0 - 2 for Screamin'. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 34:th minute Screamin' goal, making it 0 - 3. Lucian Tere was noted down as the scorer. The structure of the game started to change as Screamin' decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone.

The big Romanian is having a field day, and I didn't even tell him to play offensive.

[AccardoOutfit29]

4-0 right now for the McGees. Sometimes I feel sorry for these bot teams.

McGees´s Paul Dillon gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead in the 8:th minute with a superb strike from the right. McGees's Thad Amos scored 0 - 2 by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent goalie no other option than to pick up the ball from the net. In the 30:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as Thad Amos finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 33rd minute McGees goal, making it 0 - 4. Jed Churchill was noted down as the scorer. By now McGees were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead.

[robbgmaier]

DK, have you recovered from Sunday yet?

[illinifan999]

Is anyone else watching the Fighting Crawfish game with great interest?

[The Afoci]

The Crawfish go down 1-0.... Time to reopen operation panhandle because we are broke again.

[illinifan999]

The away team´s Norman Scruggs took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 33rd minute increasing Fighting´s lead to 0 - 3. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 37:th minute Fighting goal, making it 0 - 4. Leon Breaux was noted down as the scorer. The structure of the game started to change as Fighting decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone.

Always fun to kill a team when you PIC, and playing most of your B team.

[illinifan999]

Now 2 nill. Could this be the end of the Crawfish?

[The Afoci]

Crawfish go down 2-0. The lights are going out in Fargo ND...

Not yet, but it looks like this match should help quite a bit. Team confidence was absolutely decimated on Sunday.

[robbgmaier]

goldurnears came close to extending their lead as Andy Morales delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was to sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. Bernard Martinez increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 4. The structure of the game started to change as goldurnears decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone.

WOOT
WOOT
WOOT

How many licks does it take?

WOOT
WOOT
WOOT

[The Afoci]

Lars started raising hell and got booked!!!! They are showing some life, get her together boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Havok]

2-0 lead now

[DataKing]

DataKing bookmarks The Afoci's match

[Havok]

Will you go get another team Afoci???
plus... how do you get another team?? i thought they only allow you to have one team, once

[Calis]

Ugh! Every time we take the lead they COME RIGHT BACK!

2-2, and I'm tearing my hair out.

This angers me even more, because I'd accepted early this week that I'd lose, I just wanted more experience with my 4-5-1, now I find myself freaking out at the thought my boys might not pull it off.

[mckerney]

Since my early goal they have nearly scored twice, though my keeper has saved us so far.

I did have one winger go off with an injury, though his replacement was about on par with him, so I have no drop off in talent level, I hope.

still up 1-0

[DataKing]

You've GOT to score against the Armadillos, Afoci. Their keeper put up 0* in his last outing.

[rexalllsc]

In the 43rd minute United put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Roffe Duvholt. ...

5-0 in the first half...too bad one of my strikers got hurt

I'm on my 2nd team...the defunct Qwakers are gone...I started up with the Ultra Nox...The Crawfish still have a chance y'know...they have three weeks to get under 500k should they exceed that amount...then he'll have to reapply...but let's hold out some hope.

[Havok]

2-0 at half 78% possession

back-up's playing pretty good

[McSweeny]

hooligans up 3-0 with 90 percent possesion at the half

[robbgmaier]

"It's halftime here at the HatPub, with the Goldurnears cruising and headed to round 3. I'm Loretta "Sloppy" Jones, here getting wicked f(bleep)cking drunk with "bg". Bg, how many times do you think you can do me tonight?"

"Slopster, I'm not sure this is (belch) the time or place..."

"Oh, f(bleep)ck it, I want you right now, take off your pants!!"

"Uhh, oh what the hell, I'm going bang the s(bleep)it out of you, I hope you have some Immodium at home....

[mckerney]

Leo Seals was, after 44 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors lead with a well placed diving header but home side keeper Charley Landis saved. 0 - 1 was the half-time score.

Got the half time lead, now it's up to my 5 defenders.


Colorado held the ball, with a clear 56 percent possession rate.

Hopefully my stamina training will pay off in half 2 and I can hold the ball longer.

Other FOFC Hattrick updates:

MylesKnight and his First Coast Conquistadors are down 3 - 0 with only 27% posession.



A quick poll. How many of you have bot and how many of you have human opponents.

I for one am going against a bot.

[The Afoci]

I know 0*. I thought the pregame pep talk would help. There goalie has a value of like 73k or something, so that is weak. for the love of all that is Crawfish, what is happening????

[The Afoci]

I saw on the conferences once that one of the GMs cleared his economy page, I would be happy if they would like life maybe 100k or 150k of my debt.... or I could just win and go on... Please let one of these happen...

[moriarty]

Grrr.... 70% rate of possession and a lousy 1-0 lead. Hope my superior stamina kicks in the second half.

[Coffee Warlord]

Almost all the way down to the corner flag Paofai Croom-Carter somhow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for Sam Jones who struck for 0 - 1. Due to some great work on the right wing Spartans:s Long Burton was able to even the score in the 12th minute to 1 - 1. Galesburg took the lead in the games 16:th minute with 1 - 2 after some elegant plays down the middle. Leonardo Andres Alvaro was the scorer. The away team´s Elliott Hammond took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 23rd minute increasing Galesburg´s lead to 1 - 3. Juán Applegate of Spartans received a yellow card in the 28:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Galesburg held the ball, with a clear 75 percent possession rate.

HOW DARE MY TRAINEES LET THEM SCORE!

[DataKing]

You see what happens when you go offensive, Coffee?

[Nyarlahotep]

Up 3-1 at half with 87% possesion. I love Criollo, I'm watching 4 games right now. It would be more, but I would have to check it too often.

[DataKing]

3-nil at halftime. Only 68% possession though. About what I expected with only two middies.

[The Afoci]

And the from the visitor locker room, it could be heard growing in volume....Crawfish, Crawfish, CRAWFISH!!!!!!!!

[DataKing]

ZAP! BOOM! SQUISH!

We got 68% possession of the ball in both the first and second half, which certainly helped give us 8 scoring chances and only one for our opponent. Team confidence is now at wonderful and the money earned brought to -254k C$ which gives us a little bit of room to shop for one or two defenders. What do you want, I'm a compulsive transfer market shopper...

Afoci, everyone here in Pintendre, Quebec, all 6233 of us, are rooting for you!!! GO CRAWFISH!!!

[DataKing]

Actually I'm running a 4-4-2 today.

[illinifan999]

I'm playing a bot team.

[robbgmaier]

Anyone need a date tonight, I hear that Bebec A. Kes is looking for a rebound friend for the night.

[The Afoci]

Beating head against the wall....They have a 0* goalie...

[damnMikeBrown]

Halftime score was 0 - 6. Aviators held the ball, with a clear 77 percent possession rate

I'm not displeased with the PIC and 'B' team's effort.

[robbgmaier]

Is anyone besides me, secretly thinking that the next few days of The Afoci's dynasty could be very entertaining?
