Botha Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 My goal this season is (again) fourth place. I am probably two full seasons away from being in a position to seriously challenge for a top-three finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voobaha Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Four objectives for Voobaha National in Season 5: 1) Win Segunda Liga 2) Attain Promotion to Primera Liga 3) Find better way to get grass stains out of white uniforms. 4) Create standard infobox or template for football teams on CN wiki (we're all history and stat junkies, admit it) Thinkng they'll get accomplished in order as 4, 2, 1, 3... grass stains are tough.

Kevinho Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Have to admit to my surprise at getting into the Segunda Liga right away. Probably going to be an interesting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadian Empire Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Primera will be interesting...people are saying I might win. But I have my doubts. If I can stick to 'The Plan', then why not?

There already is one. See: http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Sikkivu...lloseura_(SiPS) General Mazur and I came up with the template. Mostly him. That said, you might be able to improve it somewhat.

Cataduanes Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Estrella Roja's ambition for this season is to improve on last season very poor performance. Edited March 6, 2009 by Cataduanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinendelDucky Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) The Duckies are upset at their schedule. We have a feeling it might be hoping for to much to steal 3 points in the first half of the season. Though we expect at least 9 points in the final half.

DinendelDucky Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Week 1 Preview -The Lutherville Press (LP) Match of the week Estrella Roja @ Transvaal Springboks Of course the opening week of the season is always an opportunity to assess the form of the teams. It is also an opportunity to begin predicting the team's spot in the league. This week's MotW involves a team predicted to be second tier finishers, and one team which has been predicted early to be fighting for their Primera lives this season. Roja has played no friendlies this offseason and many have taken that as a poor sign of the club's direction. However they can prove themselves this week if they can steal some points on the road from the 'Boks. The Springboks hope to show that they have improved this offseason. It has been a busy time for the club as they played a brutal friendly schedule to train up some of their youngsters. However their starting core of players looks to be very similar to their squad last year, as last season's assist machine Matthias Rieger looks to get the team back into contention for the league. In order for the team to have a healthy showing they need to win the matches in which they are favored, starting with Roja at home this week. Look for the 'Boks to come out hungry and put up an early goal to set the tone of the match. Prediction Transvaal Springboks 3 - 1 Estrella Other Matches: SiPS 1 - 4 VolNation Volunteers What is it that a newly promoted team doesn't want to run into in their first home match in Serie Primera? How about three time Liga Champions! SiPS face a large task in week one as they attempt to justify their promotion against the dynasty of the league. Atlético Luz Del Mar 3 - 0 Swamplandia Sinners Swamplandia was the beneficiary of an expanding league this offseason as they avoided relegation and were gifted a second shot at the top league. And this season starts the same as last for these two teams. Last season Swamplandia opened up to a 4-0 defeat on the road against the eventual Liga Champions. Few will dispute that Swamplandia hasn't grown as a team since that time however. Unfortunately that won't change the outcome as ALDM will be riding high following their successful campaign last season. Arcadia FC 4 - 0 1984 Duckies FC Arcadia is the best team in La Liga that has yet to claim the championship, this year many are picking them as the team that will win it all. That is so long as they don't drop any silly points. The Duckies are were the surprise team in Serie Segunda last year and this first week look to undergo baptism by fire in their first Primera match which just happens to be on the road. Serie Segunda Rivendell FC 1 - 3 Voobaha National Spartak MK 2 - 1 Keville United FC FC Stalybridge 2 - 1 Clyde Albion FC Franzharia 2 - 2 Estrellapuerto FC Serie Tercera Durkastan 0 - 2 Compostela Artois Dun Carrig Bohs 3 - 2 Boltonia Dragonia United FC 4 - 1 FC Jekerger Edited March 6, 2009 by DinendelDucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataduanes Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Roja has played no friendlies this offseason and many have taken that as a poor sign of the club's direction. heh, i took the pre season Cup fixture against FC Jekerger as a warm up instead but i suppose the more teams that underestimate the Roja's the better, that said the Bok's will most likely hand me another defeat Edited March 7, 2009 by Cataduanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip The Great Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) VolNation's singular goal, the goal that all our focus and concentration is on, the goal that we will not lose sight of, no matter what, is . . . . (ahem, what was it again... it seems to have slipped my mind... that person in the back of the room distracted me... it's a conspiracy, I'd say) Oh yes! Our goal is to take back the Liga Trophy and win the league again! Watch out! Here we come!!!!!

Arcadian Empire Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 This season, I really hope I don't drop 'silly' points... But it might be an omen. In my Xpert League Cup, Round 2, I was 2-0 down on aggregate, levelled it 2-0 on the second leg, and won 5-4 on penalties to progress beating a team 2 divisions higher than I was...amazing.

Philip The Great Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 That's a great job, Arcadia! Here's to a great Cup run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadian Empire Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was honestly expecting to lose, saw the scoreline 4-7 with the score 0-1 at the break, and I'm like "That can't be right...", because I was playing "Very Defencive"...still won anyway. The manager will be fuming once he reads that... But my Round 3 clash is against someone from "Division 3b" a.k.a. a team whose average strength is 9 and form at 15. I'm screwed...unless I can be a giant killer. Here's to a win against them! Too bad he doesn't have press releases...I'd love to read his reaction to our match.

DinendelDucky Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Week 1 in La Liga -Lutherville Press (LP) Week 1 in La Liga was a real shake up to the status quo of the league. As a matter of fact, about the only constant that a fan can feel comfortable with right now is that ALDM is up at the top of the table. Long time standard in Primera, Roja, fell to the bottom of the table with a defeat to Transvaal along with the victim of the ALDM match, the Sinners. The biggest shocker of the week is that the two teams picked to finish at the top of the table, struggled in week one against newly promoted teams. The Volunteers struggled on the road against a strong SiPS team. The SiPS squad thrived on their home ground, capitalizing on all of their shot attempts in the match to earn a point in their first ever top division match. Arcadia was thoroughly frustrated at home this week by a Duckies lineup that thwarted all 4 of their attempts on goal (all of which came in the second half), and rubbed it in by controlling the possession in the second half in front of an unhappy red and black clad crowd. Results: Atlético Luz Del Mar 1 - 0 Swamplandia Sinners Poss%: 56-44 SoG: 7-0 Scoreline: ALDM: Lois Luis (60') Subs: ALDM: Gilberto Brito for Rosario Padin (30') SS: Buck Clay for Barry Joseph (75') Bookings: N/A SiPS 2 - 2 VolNation Volunteers Poss%: 50-50 SoG: 2-4 Scoreline: SiPS: Petteri Eerikäinen (31', 59') Vol: Chad Goodwin (24', 71') Subs: N/A Bookings: N/A Transvaal Springboks 3 - 0 Estrella Roja Poss%: 54-46 SoG: 5-3 Scoreline: TS: Ricardo van Deinsen (65'), Matthias Rieger (75'), Charles Brennan (82') Subs: Emmanuel Hörtnagl for Detlef Botha (70') Bookings: TS: Detlef Botha (Y, 43') ER: Eduardo Begoña (Y, 21') Hector Chema (Y, 61') Arcadia FC 0 - 0 1984 Duckies FC Poss%: 49-51 SoG: 4-2 Scoreline: N/A Subs: N/A Bookings: 1984: Marius Negreanu (Y, 3'), Karl Reimar Pedersen (Y, 23'), Arvid Bynke Carlsen (Y, 44') Serie Segunda: Rivendell FC 0 - 4 Voobaha National FC Stalybridge 1 - 5 Clyde Albion Spartak MK 3 - 0 Keville United FC FC Franzharia 1- 1 Estrellapuerto FC Serie Tercera: Dun Carrig Bohs 2 - 1 Boltonia Dragonia United FC 2 - 1 FC Jekerger Durkastan 0 - 0 Compostela Artois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
