Champions League Final S6

Being the favorites of the competition, St. Lunatics were expected to win tonights game comfortably but Vadern Oranje FC were surprised winners at the end as they thump St. Lunatics 4-1 in the finals. However the game got off differently as Gustavo Robredo opened the scoring but when Grierson tapped in a rebound to score the equalizer, it was a one way traffic from then on.

Here are the Lin-Ups for both teams.
With many key figures out for St. Lunatics, their manager was not convinced that they could win the cup unless Vadern Oranje FC had one of those down days but it was not meant to be. Marcel Mares and Jose-Antonio Lusarreta created so many chances for the strikers while David Muniz could only watch the ball.

Vadern on the attack.

Here is the timeline of the game :

2' - Zuzul started things for the Americans with a shot but it was well wide.
4' - Zuzul's 2nd shot of the game
9' - Gustavo Robredo had a great chance but he could not open the scoring, yet.
13' - Nadarev cuts in from the wing and takes a pop at the keeper.
20' - Vadern first real chance. Kingston could only see his shot fizzle over the goal.
22' - Grierson's shot.
24' - Tackle from behind, Calafato booked.
25' - Gustavo Robredo oepened the scoring with a precise header after receiving a cross from Hylander. GOAL!
26' - Vadern took advantage of a lazy St. Lunatics defense. Grierson followed up a Lusarreta shot and made it 1-1. GOAL!
29' - A big miss for veteran midfielder Raukko.
33' - Gustavo Robredo continues to attack with a shot.
39' - Vadern wasted no chances as Mares blasted the ball into the net after a Lusarreta pass. GOAL!
44' - A frustrated Edi Zuzul carded.
44' - Calafto's free kick was inches away.
45' - Hylander cuts in from the right wing and takes a shot but was brilliantly saved.

HALF TIME.

FINAL WHISTLE.

The game was over and the dream was over for St. Lunatics too but for the Fins, their celebration has only begun. Fans came pouring into the Olimpico Stadium in Rome as they celebrated their first ever silverware after 5 seasons. As for St. Lunatics, manager Cyen could only accept the defeat but he is positive that if he had his other first team players present, it could have ended differently. He told StXtv, "We were without Tristan, Santa Cruz and Ware so we are a weakened side. However I have to admit, Vadern played very well tonight and the scoreline clearly shows who is the more deserved winner. So kudos to Jjin and his men. Now we need to get our mind back on the League and try to retain our title."

STX 1 - 4 VOFC

A joyous Jjin after the final whistle.

Teabags On The Go and What Bolsitas?

They were once a great side from Scotland. Coached by one of the best but when their manager decided to call it quits, the dream shattered. Hope was lost but now with Prince Eric as their manager, Titanium Teabags looks set to take the X League by storm once more. Eric made only a couple of changes in the squad in the form of Christian Lund and Grimminger. Both the Scandinavians came in good prices so Eric actually was quite a business man himself.

However, their magnificent form has been the work of their ever vigilant goalkeeper, Aaron Rymour. Already a legend in the club, he looks set to be the first player to play 200 games in the league. Tonight he starred in a first class performance against Hismamagotserved. He is the pillar of strength for the Scottish side and the fans absolutely loves him. Another played worth the mention is stalwart defender, Greger Gjovik. When Ywen left the club, the 37 year old expressed his wishes to leave the club and hang up his boots but Prince Eric was determined to ask him to sign another one year contract extension. Also a legend in the club, Gregar is a free kick specialist and a quick fullback despite his old age. Currently 8th in the league, if they keep this up, they might break the top four and kick the likes of Maibuliwa, St. Lunatics, Furtorn Forest and Marceiliacos out.

Rymour : Going Full Stretch.

When he left, he never looked back and never expected him to make a return into the game but after a month away from the game, it proved too hard for the Scot to turn down Termite-Nator's offer to manager them. Ywen was back in the game after his sudden departure from the Teabags. He renamed Termite Bolsitas de te Nuevo, "The New Teabags". This was to show his love for his former club but it left the Spanish fans puzzled but tonight's win was enough to persuade them that Ywen was the right man for the job. A convincing 3 nil win over The Pinks move the Spaniards away from the foot of the table. There is still a lot of work to be done but Ywen looks set to stay as he is said to be not interested in returning to his old stomping ground, The Tea House.

Champions League Semi Final Leg 1 & 2

This was going to be a huge game even if it was a friendly. This cup tie packed up the Asylum as St Lunatics hosted Maibuliwa in the first leg. The visitors had big expectations but the home team was not going down without a fight. The first game saw Luke Ware, Zuzul and Lilley out for the St. Lunatics while Maibuliwa had an almost fit team to pick from. The injuries proved to be a problem for the Americans as the home side failed to control the possesion in the game. Svistunov and Ryrosyuki were the stars in the first half as they dictated play for the Japanese. Viguier started instead of Sorenstam and the lanky striker was the first to trouble Casillas. As for the Americans, their first shot came after almost half an hour but Karaliopoulos's shot was never troubling Endo. Endo had very little to do in the first half. In the second half, Teralidis broke the deadlock on the 67th minute when his shot proved too hard to handle for Casillas. The Japanese continued to torment a weak St Lunatics side and the American's manager was not very happy with his team's performance. Lunatics had no more shots in the game and Maibuliwa cruised away with a hard earned away goal.

Maibuliwa players celebrating.

The second leg was played this week too as both managers agreed that they would want to get their games over with and done with. After a string of good results from both sides in the league, both are equally confident with their chances of going through. Santa Cruz started instead of Karaliopoulos and Sorenstam started instead of Viguier. Both sets of teams had a different style of play this time around and the crowds in the AvD. 53 Arena were going to be treated with a very pulsating game. The game started off with a bang as away side, St. Lunatics surged forward to find an early lead. A few early shots almost gave a scare to the home fans. Manager cyen was screaming down orders to his players even at the early minutes while manager tzelun decided to remain calm. On the 23rd minute, Santa Cruz's superior upper body strength proved to be a problem for the Maibuliwa defense. After scoring a hat-trick last night against HMGS, the big striker got into the scoresheet once more after fending off challenges from 4 Maibuliwa defenders. The away fans are not on their feet as the Americans controlled the first half. It got better for the Americans as Tristan's low drive on the 31st minute flew pass Endo with ease and the visitors are now on the driving seat.

Pique and Svistunov going for the ball.

In the second half, manager tzelun was clearly under stress and pressure but he rallied his team and gave a superb half time team talk. As for the Americans, they were complacent in the early minutes of the second half and almost gave a goal to the Japanese. However, Maibuliwa clawed one back on the 63rd minute through the quick feet of Sorenstam. The striker's shot proved too hard to handle for Casillas but the goal still does not secure a place in the finals for the Japanese. Maibuliwa had one hand on the tickets to the final on the 69th minute when Sorenstam once more took advantage over a confused St. Lunatics defense and the game is now tied 2-2. It was really an epic encounter between the giants. The goal meant that if St. Lunatics fail to score in the remaining time, Maibuliwa was on their way to the finals. Tzelun and cyen were then seen giving orders to his team. Tzelun wanted his team to tuck back and defend. He decided to defend for the next 15 minutes or so and that gave St. Lunatics a fighting chance. In the last 15 minutes, St. Lunatics were seen banging on Endo's door over and over again. On the 89th minute, Hylander whipped in an in-swinging corner and was met by Tristan's head. The ball fell to Endo but the veteran keeper failed to grab hold onto it and substitute Pantelis Karaliopoulos finished it off. The away fans went berzerk and manager cyen was seen dancing in front of his fans. An epic game. The game ended with the tickets to the finals in favor of St. Luantics.

Better Late than Never.

Champions League Semi Final Leg 1

Vadern took on Furtorn Forest earlier today and the Fins were away this time. Todd Kingston continues to start for the Fins as he look to continue his fine form this season. However, a unspirited Furtorn side fielded a reliable line-up, nothing special but a decent team none-the-less. Vadern Oranje FC started the game brightly when Kingston broke away from his markers but his attempt was well wide. The first half was almost one sided as Furtorn had the least amount of chances while Vadern were left to wonder why they had'nt taken the lead. In the second half, Abusibah came close for the Arabs but his attempt was well handled by Odhelius who was playing instead of first choice Zahovic. Kingston continued to impress as his bicycle kick went inches away from the goal. The Vadern manager was seen covering his face countless times as his team squandered chances over and over again but his wait paid off as Kingston slotted home a cool finish past a helpless Fekmoor. Dale Smithies was the culprit as his mazy run proved too hard to handle for the Arabian defense. The Fins are now a goal ahead in the semi-finals as the final whistle was blown. This away goal will prove to be very useful for the Fins.

Kingston : A force to be reckon with.

Hanging By A Thread

It looks like manager eujin of Termite-Nator is going to have a rough week after the club's board has lost patience with the inactive manager. After a brilliant start to last season's campaign, the manager got involved in other commitments and everything was on a downfall ever since. However, for Termite-Nator FC fans, there is good news. Experienced manager Ywen has officially declared his interest on taking over eujin as he sees it as an opportunity to come back into the league. He has also stated that it would be a good challenge but he has yet to receive any formal offers from the club.

Termite-Nator Chairman : Biggen Douchez

A Termite-Nator FC official said, "Eujin will be given some time to recover from his recent bad form. His next game against the Fighting Mongoose will be crucial as if he fails to get all 3 points, we will consider our options."

The statement suggests that Ywen could be offered the job as early as this Tuesday unless eujin could get his team to start playing again. However even if he does win this Tuesday, his future in the club is hanging by a thread. Reports has already started flowing in that Termite's chairman is already in Scotland holding discussions with Ywen for a possible return to the X League.

There are also rumors floating around that Ywen will only be using Termite-Nator FC as a stepping stone as he plots a monumental return to the Titanium Teabags, the club where he won his first title. The Teabag's chairman was interviewed earlier today about the rumor and he had this to say, "Prince Eric is doing well for us. We play a different style of football now but the players are coping. I am well aware about the recent happenings. It would be great to see Ywen back in the game. Possibilities about him coming back? I wouldn't say no but for now, there is no contact between us and we are just good friends. However, I will be keeping an eye on his progress if he does take over Termite-Nator FC."

The Teabags Training.

Rocchini For Picante

Kibosh have acquired the service of midfielder Filippio Rocchini. The 28 year old arrived at the team training ground and has passed his medical. He is expected to join his teammates in training tomorrow.

"Filippio was brought into the club to help strengthen the midfield. He will also provide experience and help the young players in the middle of the field. He was a proven talent at his old club Fiorentina and I hope he will fit in well here,"said Jeff.c. The player was bought for 2 million econs.

The arrival of Rocchini followed with the swift departure of veteran Antero Picante. The 29 year old was let go and will be joining another club after his unhappy time at Kibosh. "Antero talked to me about his issues and I agreed that a transfer was best for both parties. He was a big part of our team last year and the players will miss him but we will have to focus on this season,"said Jeff.c.

A Happy Rocchini
