Canada games are underway, USA to follow shortly!!!

[FrogMan]

In what seems to become a ritual, since Canada starts playing two hours before the USA, let me start the reporting thread for this 6th week of activity in Hattrick...

At halftime, the Pittbulls were ahead 4-0, playing their B squad in a very, very cool fashion (read PIC) :) and they were controlling the ball an impressive 93% of the time. Can you say "sucky bot team"? Yes, then say it twice :D

After only 5 minutes of the second half, Mel Russell finished the first ever hattrick of the young Pittbulls history, making the score 5-0...

Criollo just crashed on me, so I'll be back in a few minutes with the scores of the other Canadian games...

[robbgmaier]

let's me start things off with a.....

WOOT!

[robbgmaier]

anyone here tonight? still waiting for updates.....

[GoldenEagle]

No reports yet from my match.

[NAIWF]

12 minutes after the hour, but nothing's going on yet in the games I've checked :(

[Vince]

Hopefully I'll be out of work early tonight (still here for like half an hour) and I can get in on the chat. If anyone's interested, I'm playing the #1 team in my series with a MOTS, hoping to throw a wrench into his plans for promotion. From what I can tell, I should be able to take him...but I take nothing for granted after the first few weeks of the season.

My team ID is 70384.

[robbgmaier]

there were some people from other leagues that said they didn't get any updates till after the match, that would kind of suck....

[NAIWF]

just saw an update, 16 minutes in

[DukeRulesMAB]

Bad news: Injury. Good news: it was to my worst winger, and I have perfectly adequate backups.

[Vince]

Hell yeah...1-0 after 18 minutes. That's the first time I've ever scored first in a competitive game!!! WOOT!!!

[NAIWF]

Anybody have good games going, was watching the Misfits (down 3-0), Hippos (down 1-0) and my game (scoreless)

[GoldenEagle]

I am already down 1-0.

[robbgmaier]

.....20 minutes in.....

High Tops down 2-1
Hippos down 1-0
Horned Toads up 1-0
Fighting Eagles up 2-0
White Sox Pride up 1-0
G-Vegas FC 0-0
Scranton Slime 0-0

[GoldenEagle]

Dataking is down 1-0.

[Coffee Warlord]

Galesburg up 2-0.

[Coffee Warlord]

Dola. Make that 3-0, and we're pulling back.

[illinifan999]

After 2 minutes Fightings Martin Maurer made his way through the middle, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Victor Brown of Fighting received a yellow card in the 16:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Juan Briñas increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2. The structure of the game started to change as Fighting decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone.

Now if we can only hold them, this would be a huge win.

[illinifan999]

Randy Mahon came close to extending the visitors lead as he, completely unmarked in front of the goal, lifted a ball over Ryan Quick, hitting the bar.

What coulda been.

I think this guy has three keepers with solid or excellent keeper ratings. :eek:

[RonnieDobbs]

GO FRANKFORT U!!!!!!

Also, go me. PIC, but up 2-0. My new, expensive IM put one in.

[McSweeny]

down 2-1 after 29 minutes

[illinifan999]

FYI, Ryan Quick is valued at 525k. Yikes!

[DukeRulesMAB]

Yay, get me one.

Frankfort took the lead in the 33rd minute of the game by 1 to 0, as William Hawkins elegantly received a pass going deep, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.

[Vince]

So close...

Hor Nhat-Nam was, after 35 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors lead with a well placed diving header but home side keeper Neil Ryder saved.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Cirillo just die for anyone else?

[McSweeny]

gaaa! server is down

[Professor58]

Stormy Gales 4 - High Tops 1

Things are not going too well. About what I expected but was hoping to sneak a victory.

[Coffee Warlord]

Galesburg up 5-0 before the server exploded.

[McSweeny]

sever seems to be ok again...

down 2-1 at the half, no one team dominated this half, ending in a deadlock

come on.... let's hope my stamina kicks in

[DukeRulesMAB]

1-0 at halftime, 56% possession

[GoldenEagle]

down 1-0 at half

[Easy Mac]

Up 1-0 at the break. Playing away to the #2 team. So far I've held 56% of the possession, and was told this about my play:

G-Vegas had, after 31 minutes of the game, worked the left side industriously, creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but somehow didn´t achieve closure.

Good to know, b/c thats where I focused my attack.

[illinifan999]

In the 40:th minute the excellent ball from the wing byMartin Maurer reached Juan Briñas's head, and he is not one to miss such an opportunity - 0 - 3. Halftime score was 0 - 3. Black held the ball, with a clear 55 percent possession rate.

45 minutes to hold a 3 goal lead. :D

[Vince]

Game on...

DAMN. Penalty kick allows St. Louis Imperfect Assembly (even though they're the opposition, isn't that a pretty cool name?) to even the score 1-1.

[NAIWF]

The referee showed Roughriderss Jörgen Adolfsson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.

The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like Glen Dumas whose skills weren´t made justice at all.

A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 52nd minute allowed Nicodemo Villazán to score 0 - 1 for Manhattan.

Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Jörgen Adolfsson rendered him his second booking of the match, and Roughriders had to finish the game with a reduced squad.

[GoldenEagle]

GOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!

Golden Eagles FC 1 DFFC 1

And my 1000th post to boot :)

[Vince]

Ok, well on my way home...come on boys, give us the 2-1 while I'm away!

[McSweeny]

meh.... almost tied it up

Francis Kimball made a run for the goal in the 52nd minute but the home teams far left defense managed to sort the situation out in the end.

[McSweeny]

3 minutes later and we have a tie game!!

2-2

[robbgmaier]

........an hour into the play.........

High Tops scored first, but the next five went the other way. Ouch!
The Hippos have fallen behind 3-nil
The Toads have climbed ahead 4-nil
Vegas and rabbits are knotted at 1
Scranton Slime are ahead 3-2
White Sox Pride are ahead 2-1
The Fighting Eagles are now up 4-1

3-1-3 so far, the water dwellers aren't holding up their end...

[McSweeny]

double dola

damn near took the lead... looks like my stamina is working wonders

[NAIWF]

In the 58:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as Tillmann Sommerhäuser finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick.


Yeah baby!

[DukeRulesMAB]

Frankfort put their lead ahead another goal as Kenneth Clifford struck home the 2 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. By now Frankfort were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead.

We haven't obliterated them like I'd hoped, but this isn't so bad.

[ausonny]

We're up 6-0, PICing it against a middle of the road team, with 21973 in attendance. This should help inch us up on the way to autopromotion!

[McSweeny]

In the games 63rd minute Goalers´s Denny Eldridge head butted an opponent nastily and so the referee sent him off immediately

wooohooo! let's hope i can take advantage!

[robbgmaier]

6 events for the goldurnears so far, all of them goldurnear goals...

damn, I'm going to miss the plunder of Division V next season :)

[Vince]

Damn it, I get home, and all pumped to tell you guys about my 2-1 lead thanks to my winger, and as I'm typing it up, his striker gets the 2-2 equalizer. 2-2 67 minutes in.

[GoldenEagle]

I hate you :)

[The Afoci]

data is up 2-1 and i am dead even at 0-0 with only one event reported the whole match, a missed chance by me...:(

[GoldenEagle]

GOAAAAAAALLL!!!

2-1 Golden Eagles FC

<i>After 68 minutes Per Alexandersson made a complete fool of himself and dropped the ball to Franz Schindler who shuffled it into goal. 1-2 for Golden.</i>

However, my best mid went out with an injury. Hopefully it will not be for too long.

[robbgmaier]

Jesus, if I gave all six of my goals to the High Tops, they'd still be losing, and they scored first......

Somebody maybe should drive over and check on him....

[Vince]

Argh...4 minutes apart, and I'm now down 3-2. Come on guys...

[robbgmaier]

hey, how do you do that quote thingy?

Golden Eagle, I gleefully accept your hate

BWAHAHAHAHAH

[McSweeny]

goal!!!!!

francis kimball bangs home his second of the game! hooligans up 3-2!

[GoldenEagle]

Look down to the right of your screen and you will see two quotation marks. Click on those.

[GoldenEagle]

I have been watching Data's game and I am glad to see he is up 2-1.

[GoldenEagle]

Wow DK's game is now 4-2.

[DukeRulesMAB]

5-0 when I look again; that's the blowout I was seeking. :)

[ausonny]

Ardent's up 4-0 for those not following...

[DukeRulesMAB]

Oh yeah, and go Screamin' Seamen! 2 quick goals to go up 4-2.

[Vince]

HELL YEAH! Goal number two for new striker Giel Rijnders, and we're knotted at 3 with 12 minutes to go. My game is turning out to be rather good if anyone wants to tune in...team ID# 70384.

[robbgmaier]

TOUCHDOWN GOLDURNEARS!!!!

and they take a 7-0 lead :)

[Easy Mac]

well,put me down for loss #1, barring some miracle. looks like my team got lost for 10 minutes, though they are creating more chances of late.

[Vince]

Glad to see Screamin' winning...Neon Genesis Evangelion is the bastard that pulled out a 1-0 win against me in the cup.

[Qwikshot]

Destroying the Soccer Rockers right now by a score of 5-1...Grewar with a hattrick...


btw when is the scoring section going to be fixed.?!?

[robbgmaier]

Geez, I can't believe I missed it at first, we went for two, not a pansy extra point.....

goldurnears 8 (yawn) - schumck who don't deserve to be named, nil.

HAHAHAHAHHA

[lytic]

The Cows have no magic left after that Cupset!

[robbgmaier]

I just can't seem to get this straight, apparently, we really did get an extra point, and then a SAFETY! cool

9-nil

please god, let me hang a dime on them, there's still time :)

[Vince]

Man, Crawfish are involved in the most boring 3-5-2 v. 3-5-2 match in history. 1 event. All game.

[robbgmaier]

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE!!!!

goldurnears 10, other schmuchs, nil

anyone need me to loan them half a dozen goals?

[dacman]

Oh, yeah, God's not gonna think you're greedy or anything. :)

[robbgmaier]

did I mention I was PICing?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[GoldenEagle]

I pulled it out 2-1. WOOT!

[Vince]

Argh...even with a 60% second half possession rate, we couldn't pull out the victory. Eh, I'll settle for a draw on the road to the #1 team in the series :) Too bad I MOTSed and now my Team Spirit is shot.

In other good news, the #3 team in my league just lost their team, and it's now a newbie (that makes 4 of the 8 owners having rotated this season), so I should be able to pull off 3rd, if not 2nd place!

[dacman]

Well, I vaulted to the top of V.220 with a 4-0 shutout of Tomahawks (owned by FOFCer -Panther).

[McSweeny]

wooohoo! came back from down 2-0 to win 3-2

[The Afoci]

A 0-0 tie with no events in the second half. The Orcs are the masters of D I guess.

Any reason why I lost 8-1? What are formidable and brilliant? Is that good?

NSI of 72 vs my 49
He did have a weakness of only inadeguate left attack, maybe I can do something about that in a couple of weeks.

Warning: Post filled with lots of sarcasm

[illinifan999]

Do you believe in MIRACLES?

We upset the number one team! We didn't just beat them either, we killed them 5-1 on THEIR own field! Had no players get under 2 stars, had 2 players with 2 1/2*, and 2 with 3*.

I also injured his star midfield for 2 weeks, and his starting defender for 2 weeks.

He's only the 1st or 2nd best team in Div. V. 3rd, on a bad week:)
