Cup Round 3 Instant Update Thread

[sterlingice]

After the three goal flurry in the last 3 minutes of the half: "Halftime score was 3 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Hippopotami, with an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball."

SI

[McSweeny]

just missed a great chance to tie it up... damn

down 1-0 at the half they have 65 percent possesion... hope my stamina kicks in and i can pull off a major second half upset

Div III must go down!

[moriarty]

Negative Waves holding their own against Div IV 1-1 at half. More suprisingly they only held possession 52% (they must have tried to PIC me).

[NevStar]

Somehow, we're containing them. It's 1-1 at the half...their only goal was off an event (corner).

We also have the midfield advantage (58%)

What the hell. How the heck am I down 1-0? He has to be playing his B team, and PICing. I should be losing 10-0. My teamID is 72093 in case anyone wants to see if I can come from behind. And does the game set default Penalty kickers?

[mckerney]

Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 47:th minute Wabiit goal, making it 0 - 3. Nate Camp was noted down as the scorer. At that, Nate Camp was noted down for a hat trick.

dammit dammit dammit...

[dacman]

I'm up 2-0, 67% possession in the 1st half. On to round 4 baby!

In other news, TargetPractice is only up 1-0 on a bot team. Hmmm.

[DataKing]

Wabiit? I ran into them in the Windy City Cup a couple of seasons ago.

[dacman]

The game had been on for 50 minutes when Arturo Gómez broke through to the right, upping the score to the home crowd´s dismay. Rochester´s were up 0 - 3.

Yes sir!

[Nyarlahotep]

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo.......... they tied it up.

[moriarty]

Talk about a tough first four minutes of the second half ....

After 46 minutes Lakewoods Howard Deleon made his way through the middle, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. The away team´s Adrian Braden took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 48:th minute increasing Lakewood´s lead to 1 - 3. Lakewood´s Adrian Braden received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 49:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 1 - 4. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. By then Adrian Braden was a three time scorer - a hat trick!

[Vince]

Damn...after holding them scoreless in the first half (due to some amazing saves by my goalie), it's now 1-0 bad guys 7 minutes into the second half

I've had 0 scoring chances against his ridiculously good defense.

[astralhaze]

Bah! Bunch of bastards. I'm down 2-0 at the half. They have a 67 percent posession rate. Think I am screwed.

[mckerney]

Wabiit? I ran into them in the Windy City Cup a couple of seasons ago.

and I believe lytic was in his series a few seasons back.

Hmm.

I'm beginning to wonder if it may have been a bad idea to skip setting my PK lineup.

you should ALWAYS set your PK lineup. I'm not aware (though I'm
no expert) of it having a default cup/friendly lineup. My understanding from
the rules it the 'Make this default' for lineup only affects league games.

scratch I think it sets a default for all games but only one default.
so you will have to manually set your B Team lineup to ensure good
training.

DK could probably answer better than I

[sterlingice]

Morrisville... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAALLLLLLLLLL!

SI

[Calis]

Well, my boys are getting their ass kicked, as I expected though.

Down 5-0, they had 66% possession in the first half.

Yeah I'm playing scrubs, yeah they're a division higher...it still stings a bit.

What also sucks is the fact this is my first game with my newly expanded stadium, and IT'S POURING DOWN RAIN. So I've got about 4500 folks there.

All in all, this is a wasted game.

[dacman]

Toledo Drunkards(D5) - Nasty Boyz(D3) -- 1-2 60th

There have only been two events in the game, so I don't know about that, but my team id is 72049 if you want to check it out.

[-Panther]

DK needs to kick some serious player butt!!!!!!!

[DataKing]

OK now I'm getting p*ssed.

[AccardoOutfit29]

A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in McGees´s Thad Amos putting the lead up to 2 - 0.

At least we have some breathing room now. Still a long way to go before we pull of the upset.

[Vince]

In good news, my Solid playmaker sold for $141,000, and I got like $121,000 of it. Bad news: pouring rain and I don't sell out my stadium for the cup game, with 5,611 spectators showing up...should this worry me, considering I'm in the middle of a 7,000 seat Arena expansion? I do expect to walk over most of my league, and finish top 3 in the series.

[dacman]

Gooooaaaaallll!!!!!!!(D5) - Cedar Pond Horned Toads(D5) – 5-0 61st

[Masked]

uh oh...It's not looking good

Dani Mário Araújo of Complex received a yellow card in the 59:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In the 59:th minute of the game, Complex´s Dani Mário Araújo had to leave the pitch after receiving his second booking.

For those of you following along with my team, Dani may sound familiar. He has now been kicked out of all three cup matches.

Still down 1-0.

[GoldenEagle]

We are up 3-0 but we lost our best mid to a serious foot injury.

[dacman]

I think he MOTS you.

[astralhaze]

No news thus far in the second half for the struggling Bombers.

[-Panther]

ok almighty hattrick god, give my team atleast ONE scoring opp.
if they blow it, so be it. but atleast give us ONE??????????????????????????????????????

[Coffee Warlord]

Still tied 1-1, no updates thus far.

[DataKing]

Originally posted by dacman

No, I'm just angry with the confusion. I have a team captain out there with weak experience, and the formation was at passable level prior to the match, and I get confusion in both halves? WTF?!

[Vince]

I'm with you Panther I'm not too optimistic though...this guy puts up Outstanding and Brilliants all along his D.

[Masked]

Down a man, but Tony Spicer comes through!!!

Tony Spicer finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home sides keeper, making the score 1 - 1 in the 63rd minute.

Heading for a great finish. (team ID 72176)

[-Panther]

same here astral. but give my team time and they'll open the field
up for the opposition to score lol

[AnalBumCover]

AnalBumCovers (71377) are tied 1-1 in their match (6898365) so far. No updates in second half.

SI

[astralhaze]

Damnit. 21 Minutes in and NOTHING has happened. Not even a scoring op.

[-Panther]

well with the possesion he had. I wondering if he didn't PIC and
played normal. then he has passable mid and exc. & outstanding
all over

I've heard you need an inad. leader to guarentee no confusion at passable -- no idea if that's remotely accurate.

[Nyarlahotep]

Woot!!!!! Mata gets another one. He's been scoring really well for a passable scorer. Pulled him last weekend and four goals so far, and I was mostly keeping him around for his clown status.

[Qwikshot]

Down 3 - 0, my terrible rookie midfield finally tired out...no worries though...glad to be done with the cup...bonus...I'll be down to 100k debt by this weekend WOOT WOOT!

[astralhaze]

Bah, this one is over. 3-0 now and they are pulling back the defense.

[Coffee Warlord]

In the 71st minute cheers broke out as Nicasio Pinto found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 2 - 1 goal in for Galesburg.

[robbgmaier]

goldurnears took the lead after 70 minutes with 0 - 1. Oriol Villaver placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left.

Well, it's about time. Break it down. GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!1
