Elite you came close to a shut-out, congrats to your team.

[Barry]

Wow. We held powerful New Ecopia to 2 scores and got a tie. My Linebackers must be pretty good.

[Almonaster]

A loss, but not a blow-out. Some good attacking football on both sides - that's what I like to see.

Well done Aterian International - I look forward to the re-match.

[Louisistan]

Barry, you realize this is soccer, not American Football, right?

UFC Konstanz

Press Info

Konstanz, 03rd November MMXIV

The University Football Club Konstanz (formerly known as the Football University Club Konstanz) has announced that, effective immediately, Head Coach Gil John Biggs has been suspended pending the termination of his contract. "It seems Coach Biggs was not up to the task of introducing the UFC into the world of international soccer. Last night's result against Mordor was a disgrace! We pay hin to win, not for a draw!", the Club's President Gustav Schnee said in a press conference.
Until a new Head Coach is selected, Assistant Coach Andy Guzman has taken over his duties.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

After an animated match against the USSR Ruskies, who kept the team running around until everyone was short of breath and one player lost a contact lens, Hintertupfingen Rasenspiele backpats each other on the two goals, but frowns somewhat at the not terribly efficient defense and goalie.

Football is football, no matter where it's played.

[Louisistan]

Right. Only soccer has no linebackers. But whatever.

[Almonaster]

He's yanking your chain, Louisistan!

[Louisistan]

Is he now? Well that's not nice. I've fired head coaches for less

[The Candy Lane]

Full contact soccer? That brings back memories...

[Duckyian Empire]

From the Ducky Daily:

"The general manager of the Emperor's Men, Kerry Günter, was appalled by the 5-1 result as a result of the National Team's meeting with the Elite Chickens. She stated, 'The Duckies had only two days of training together since the call-up; there's no team chemistry.' Günter may have a point, because only 7 players play in better leagues than the Duckyian First Division. The 1st Division is considered to be the 15th best in the 10000 Islands for footballing, and only 1 player, goalkeeper Ned 'the Wall' van Moozie, competes in a top 5 division. The other six play in the nations ranked 8th, 10th and 14th; two players in those nations' respective top-flight football programmes. The other 16 ply their trade within the Empire. 10 separate teams are represented: Ducky Village FC, Bluestone SC, Cattails FC, FC Santa City, Cittorba United, Sporting Cittorba, Badlands Squad, and Ginger City FC, as well as Second Division teams Schnettler SC and Biscoff Friday. One can recognise what the problem is present.
The other thing of note is that the previous game, as well as the next two, are away from Saint Cuthbert's Lawn, in which the Duckies have not lost a match since December 2013 to the national team of the Candy Lane, in a friendly."

[Elite]

I don't think CL has been doing the home and away thing, Duckyian Empire. If you look carefully, the same teams are getting home every match.

[Hahiha / USSR]

Elite the teams switch what side they are on after a full rotation.

[Louisistan]

Wow that's pretty unfair considering that this means that the some teams must travel for 13 weeks(!) straight, while others can play at home for 13 weeks. All that travelling is exhausting.

Each team has home and away matches. The teams at home right now will be on the road soon enough  It doesn't matter if you use this in RP, but in the games posted so far the team on the right is at home. I'll try to make it more clear in the next games (and put an end to the three game home stands )

Results are coming, I hit back space while I was posting. 

[XKI Sports League]

Would the Duckyian National Team manage to get a goal on home turf? Would Zevnenwick's shutout streak continue? And most importantly, who's team would have the highest beer sales?

The Results for Wednesday's matches are in:

The Candy Lane Mentos 4
Duckyian National Team 0

Elite Chickens 3
New Ecopia International 1

Butlers United 1
Hinterupfingen Rasenspiele 2

USSR Ruskies 1

[Sauron]

Sauron out.

Luckily we aren't Leeds United.

[Elite]

I remember the old days when I supported Leeds.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

The Hintertupfingen Rasenspiele players were very distracted by their adversaries' smart butler outfits. After a friendly admonishment at halftime to pay attention to the ball instead, they managed to get their bearings somehow.

[Elite]

The Chickens are looking forward to their first away game against the only team to win away thus far.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

The Elite Chickens should be aware of the spontaneously appearing soccer omen.

In which omen the XKI Mad Sports Gazette temporarily metamorphosed Hintertupfingen into Hinterupfingen.

This does not bode well for Chickens.

rupfen means to pluck. 

[Barry]

Good luck next game, Elite. Just a word of advice. Don't let your players get distracted by the uniforms the girls on Baden-Wuerttemberg's "Hinterland Rumplestiltskin"...or whatever...team is wearing...or should I say, not wearing?

You should demand they wear long pants and overcoats against you.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Run around in overcoats? Do you want Anneliese Winzer & Co. to succumb to heat strokes? My poor team. They'd need to bring in a support team of

Hintertupfingen Rasensprenger

= lawn sprinklers to cool them off from the side lines.

If you can bare with Mediafire, here's a spreadsheet available for use. I might see if I can change it so there can be separate ladders for each community.

[kuknos]

Ya! we didn't lose! Now to prepare for our next game- we've hired Guru Logan Pagano to lead us in a guided meditation to visualize being one with the ball. It also helps that there are reports that our goalie Mr Drum may have been sober for the last game.

[Almonaster]

Scorinators hate me! :lol:

[Hahiha / USSR]

Don't worry, against me you'll probably get a tie, and for me I'll get another tie.

[Louisistan]

If we get another tie, I fear I will have to fire someone again. ROLL ALL THE HEADS!
