Boro - 2 Schalke - 1
Back and forth game that saw both goalies come up huge. FB put on the pressure until the end but couldn't find the equalizer.
Great game as always FB....our connection is the best!

Newcastle 3 = Real Madrid 2
SOG 22, 16

FK 4, 5

Offside 1, 0
Posses. 52, 48
Scoring
Newcastle: Shearer 9', Emre 15'
Real Madrid: Casillas (OG 1'), Zidane 43', Ronaldo 61
Newcasle snuck out winners over the famed Spanish side despite failing to kill off the game with a 3-0 advantage. Newcastle were rabid dogs out of the gate, with Michael Owen's volley off of a corner in the first minute directed back by Casillas into his own goal. This oen will definitely find its way to the dubious goals committee, as it looked like the ball ricocheted off the Spaniard, rather than the other way around. Shearer followed up with a terrific chip over the keeper just 8 minutes later. Emre continued the outburst, driving home a rebound from a Shearer cannon shot.
Toon seemed to count their chickens early in this one though, and the experienced Galacticos refused to yield. Zinadine Zidane was left unmarked at the top of the 18-yard box and he made the slack defense pay with a howler into the lower 90. Real Madrid kept up sustained pressure, although a few excellent Newcastle chance did go begging. Ronaldo followed up in the 61st minute. Bramble chested a cross directly into the path of the two-time FIFA player of the year, and Ronaldo finished withy typical efficiency. Despite spirited play down the stretch, and due in great part to a very much in-form Shay Given, the Spaniards were unable to net an equalizer.
Great game, Cloud. Look forward to playing again sometime.

Guys, a friendly reminder that the first half season deadline is this Sunday, Sept. 3.
Mobiggins, you have played no games whatsoever. Are you around?
ddtrane also has not played any games, has not played the 16/17 Cup game with XXXIV, and has not posted here in a long while. I have a feeling ddtrane is no longer in the league.
Mo, what is up? I'd hate to have to give a First Division player any forfeits, but we haven't hear from you in a while.
At this stage, I am going to award XXXIV's Arsenal the bid into the League Cup First Round to play pigpen's Middlesbrough. I'll let Jason know and he will get that set up correctly on the bracket so the game can be recorded. We have half the First Round games played already; it would be really peachy if we could get that first round done by the end of this weekend.
Oh, and I still have to play Leebo: tonight? Tomorrow will be nutty with all the football going on (and the RBNY game that night). If I am around in the afternoon, though, I'd be happy to play then (RBNY game starts at 7ET, so before that would be great). Sunday could work great for me.

Man City Remain Unbeaten, Earn Draw At Juve
Manchester City went on the road to Turin to face mighty Juventus in a league game, and were able to sneak out of town with a valuaable point thanks to a late goal from Sibierski.
City had chances aplenty in the first half, but could not break through. Juve was also stimied, despite Del Piero running circles around the defense. An in-form James made some good saves to keep the game scoreless at the break.
Right off the bat in the second half, Del Piero dribbled through the City defense and blasted a shot from the top of the box. How he was allowed to waltz right into the danger area is something City will have to address, but there he was all alone right at the arc in the 48th minute, and he was not going to miss from there. The rest of the second half saw City turn up the pressure, seeking the equalizer. There were shots from all over, but Buffon was solid, earning 8 saves on the night.
After using up all three substiutions, and with injury time looming, City threw all they had at the Juve goal. Then, in the depth of stoppage time Juve had the ball deep in City territory. The home side were too aggressive, and their right midfielder got caught upfield when the ball was turned over. Sun Ji Hai took the thing and raced up the sideline with Musampa up ahead and one defender between them. Sun waited and waited for the lone defender to make a move, and finally he did. The well paced through ball was run onto my Musamps just at the touch line and he whipped a firm double-B button cross towards the box with his left foot. Sibierski, who as usual had seen numerous balls off his head spin wide of the target throughout the evening, this time ended up beating his man to the ball and giving Buffon no chance from six yards. And right at the death, too! As soon as Juve put the ball back into play, the final whistle blew, and the City team scurried away, happy to have slavaged a point from a very tough match.
Juventus 1 : 1 Manchester City
Juve: Del Piero 48'
City: Sibierksi 90'
SoG 7 : 17
SoT 2 : 9
Corners 1 : 4
Fouls 6 (8 ) : 0 (1)
Offside 2 : 1
Poss. 38 : 62
no bookings
no injuries
Wow, bubbaball, that was one heck of a game. I just could not beat Buffon to save my life, and that final play was an incredible balance of desperation, patience, timing, luck. Really that goal was just incredible. I was stunned! What a cross from Musampa! Heck of a game, man.
Good luck the rest of the way, and I'll see you in the second half!

Now, here's the thing. A die should have been rolled between games, because if it came up 4-6, Del Piero should have missed the tourney game.FifaInspected wrote:League Match
Juventus - 0 Stuttgart - 1
*** Delpiero Injury - Juventus - yellow cross ***
However, I don't know what you guys did so I will roll the die here now:
And it is a 5, so Del Piero misses one game.
If he was already held out of that tourney game (when playing multiple games in an evening, some players have held yellow-inured players out just in case), then he is good to go. Otherwise, he can't play in the next game Juve plays (which will obviously be a league game since they are out of the Cup; btw that also means Nedved's yellow is meaningless).
Normally, I will do the die roll, but if you are playing multiple games in an evening, go ahead and roll it yourself, or just keep the guy out.
In case you guys don't remember: yellow cross misses zero (roll of 1-3) or 1 game (4-6). Red cross misses 1 game (1-2), 2 games (3-4) or 3 games (5-6).
Sorry, man, but I like to keep it to the schedule. You should have time to get your games in. I'll try to get the schedule up by Sunday night, and it's often been the case that we add a week to the season to let folks get finished.azpaco wrote:zep, if ddtrane is done then that is the end of the first half of the season for me. I was wondering if I can start getting in the second half of the season? Reason being, I'm going to be out of town from the 8th to the 21st. thanks
