Voobaha Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Aw, man. I almost held off against you, Voobaha. V... that game was sick. A very even defensive battle... and a goal off a freekick in the 82nd? I would have been happy to end that game with ONE point. Looking forward to the rematch ^5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremierApex Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Wow the 'Vols are struggling away from home, but it for the sake of 'Vol ball which I am a fan of they will surge back as champions they are. Hell of a game by the Adepts, you got a quality side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) SiPS is actually a pretty strong side, when you look at their players, I don't know what they are doing in the Segunda. Perhaps they are the Newcastle of LM... The Segunda was pretty tight at the top last season with the top four teams separated by 3 points. But as you can see below, SiPS were in 1st or 2nd during the later half of the season except in the final week, Jerkerger and Spartak MK (who were mid-table in 4th most of the season) both surged ahead from strong results (most likely against the 2 inactive teams) and knocked them down to 3rd.

PremierApex Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) I cant wait until the middle of the season, that is when the Arcadia/Vol home/away is back to back in league play. It will be epic! Btw, Botha-Loftus Versfeld is a dangerous place. ALDM is 2-4-1 against you at your place all time. I cant seem to break your home advantage, hell of a game amigo.

I cant seem to break your home advantage, hell of a game amigo. My problem in that match was Detlef was sitting out due to suspension (his form was 18 and might well have had been the game breaker for us if he was dressed) so I was forced to use an underform substitute and my only other freekicker was out injured (but if I used him, my defense would then have been weakened). I usually pick up at least one goal from set plays, so I think that's why I couldn't get the three points. Then losing Detlef's brother Balthazer early in the match weakend our attack further.

PremierApex Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 And to be honest with you, Balthazar was torching defender Guifré Mugerza the entire time before he was carted off. He had about 4 attempts on goal himself, unacceptable for the ALDM back line. Who has the best youth player(s)? I am a big fan of Arcadia FC's Don Silver 'Vols Chris Rojas(stunning in goal) SiPS Hessu Öörni Matias Cardoso from Atlético Vinilandês takes the cake for me. He is a tremendous talent, 17 yo and has the SQ to be a world beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botha Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Who has the best youth player(s)? Longterm, keep an eye on Cetshwayo Ngwane, Die Bokke's 16-year-old fullback - he will become a frontline force in around 4 seasons (that's assuming he doesn't see any 2-bar jumps) and probably the greatest Springbok fullback to be seen.

Voobaha Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I just grabbed a 5 bar 17 year old... no special attributes, but worth 7million. Double damn. All my youth academy seems to send are 2 bar 19 year olds who are fragile or moody.... and NOT easily sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 All my youth academy seems to send are 2 bar 19 year olds who are fragile or moody.... and NOT easily sold. You know, I've actually generally had decent performances from fragile and moody players. I think divas, greedies, and loudmouths are the more troublesome. On my five teams I have 3 fragile players and (knock on wood) none of them have ever been injured nor shown noticebly poor form. As for moody players, with some of them moodiness is actually a great bonus. You soon will get the feel for them and whether it is worth keeping them or not for the long haul. For example, Dick Witchge is moody and more often than not vastly overperforms than underperforms. For him, moodiness has been pretty positive towards his output. But Gert Grunholz was moody and usually underperformed as he was also greedy (moody + greedy + loudmouth, awful combo but I kept him as he also had 3 positive specials too).

PremierApex Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Last youth player i got was a 3 bar 18yo with long range, free kick and header. I didnt even purchase, im tired of very low skilled players. Do not get me wrong though, I do have home grown talent that is doing very well, Tego Nunez and Palaminho are two midfielders that have made a name for themselves as costa libertaros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremierApex Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 We could possibly make a friendly/Championship at the beginning of the next season with #1 and #2 facing off. It could be interesting to see since segunda teams are just as good as primera sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 The Transvaal Voetbalsvereniging announced this morning the All-Transvaal Team for 2009 composed of the very top players from all three of Transvaal’s X11 clubs.

PremierApex Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Will it be another 'Vol/ALDM Final for the cup again? 'Bohball is doing amazingly well and might give the 'Vols a run for their money. FCJ will be a good test, they make me extremely nervous with their goal instincts with their forwards. It is ridiculous, I tried to recreate it with Flores and Cocoa because it give me nightmares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
