SAEFL SEASON 10 WEEK 8

CUP GROUP GAMES GAME 2

GROUP A : It’s week 8 and time for the last round of cup matches. The tournament will continue with a knock out tournament from now on. This week we saw some really exciting matches in the 9 different groups. In group 1 we see OC play VA and TJ play SG.

OC is with 6 points almost sure of the next round. They can do with a draw or maybe even a small loss to make it. VA on the other hand needs 3 points and a lot of goals to make a chance. Both teams field an equally strong team and we see a classic CP against WP match. Normally this would be very exciting but not this time. I don’t know what Wouter feeds his players before a match but it must contain a lot of pepper. 2 of his defenders where send of really early in the game and that was deadly for VA this time. OC had a massive 58 EMP more in attack then VA in defence!! VA looses and OC also won this cup match earning them 3 points again. Keith will be pleased because he won all 3 of his cup games so far. OC has 9 points, VA 3. TJ still has a chance to go to the next round if they beat SG. VA is out of the tournament.

TJ needs a win just like VA to make a chance for the next round. TJ goal difference is better then VA’s so if he makes more goals then VA he will be second in the group. This was the mission for Stewart before this game. We already know VA lost so TJ’ only task is to kick the already chance less SG ass. Stewart played a reasonable ONE team but SG didn’t want to be a push over and played also an equally strong ONE team when we look at the NSL. Still TJ gets an easy victory because he played ONE like you should play it. With 3 AM and 2 WH he uses the bonuses to the maximum. SG played with 5 defenders and only 1 AM and WH. That was not good enough this time as TJ gets a much higher emp. TJ wins 4 to 1 and takes the points back home with him. With this result we see OC number 1 in group 1 and TJ second with 6 points and a GD of +5. We will later see if this GD is high enough to advance to the next round. Only 7 of the 9 runner ups will advance.

GROUP 2 : we see JG play TS and NH play DT. Looking at the table we see that everything can happen here. NH has 6 points and a huge GD that is probably enough for reaching the next stage but JG and DT both have a good chance to advance.

JG needs to win this match with a lot of goals but then he will still depend on the result of the other match in this group. If DT wins with more goals Bart is out ? Now I would love to see that happen but unfortunately Travis didn’t put up a fight for it. TS had 0 points before this match and where chance less so they decided to rest all key players and focus on the league. They didn’t even choose a captain. Travis should hit himself hard for this mistake as this was a good opportunity to figure out the captain rating of one of his players. It must be said that JG didn’t take any chance and fielded his strongest or almost strongest WP team. With this result JG earns 3 points making a total of 6 points and a huge GD of +25. This might even be good enough to pass NH in the table if he looses his match against DT.

NH is almost sure to go through even if they loose, DT on the other hand needs a big victory to do a stunt. We just saw JG beat TS with a huge score so NH knows he needs a draw minimum to stay at the number 1 spot which assures you to go to the next round. Robert rested some of his key players but still fielded a reasonable strong team. At least it’s good enough to beat most div 3 teams. But DT is not just any div 3 team. They build a good strong WP team which can kick ass when they feel like it. Claudio decided he didn’t want to go for glory in the cup because he rests his complete first eleven but one. It’s a pity I think because his first team would have beaten this NH line-up easily making him advance to the next round. NH wins 19 to 9 and also wins his 3th match. NH has 9 points now and JG takes the second place with 6 points and a GD of 25

In group 3 we see old rivals AA and NW together with AR and BS.. This is an exciting group as everything can happen here. 3 teams are fighting to get to the next round. AA has the best papers as they already have 6 points but if they loose from NW Mike will pass him on the table because of the much better GD. AR plays BS and can also get to 6 points if they win.

AA is pretty save already with 6 points but both NW and AR can advance if they win their match. NW has the better GD but they need the 3 points to become one of the best runner ups. When we look at the match we see both teams took this match seriously. In a WP against WP battle NW comes out strongest. Mike played a valuable Grudge card to beat AA. Nathan was unlucky his GK got injured but he should have seen this grudge coming from miles away. Mike always wants a prize and looking at the div 1 table the cup is his only chance for glory. NW wins and ends with a total of 6 points with a GD of 21. AA also has 6 points but a GD of -1. If AR doesn’t win his match Nathan might get away with this if there are ate least 2 runner ups with less then 6 points or with a worse GD. I think Nathan will slap him self now for not working on his GD in the 2 other matches.

If AR beats BS with a huge score they might have a chance to advance. We know mike won from Nathan and they have a GD of +21 and -1. If Don wins this match he will pass AA by goal difference. And this was Don’s lucky day. BS gave the match away by playing only 65 NSL. They got 2 red cards but that didn’t matter there was just not enough on the pitch to trouble AR. One of the red cards was in the 89th minute not affecting the result much. AR could even afford to get a red card also but he will not have sleepless night because of this. AR walks over BS earning them 3 points. With this result NW, AA and AR all have 6 points but AA has the worst GD. NW advances to the next round and AR will have to wait and see if his GD is good enough to advance. AR has a GD of +14 now.

In group 4 everything is basically decided already. ES just needs 1 more point to make sure he advances and AK needs a win. But even if ES looses he still has a chance to go through if he looses by only a few goals. Both DL and LU have no chance to advance and play a match just to figure out captain ratings or rest key players.

There is nothing much to tell about this match. Both teams rested their top 11 as expected and we see a CP against SM tactic. LU takes the points and passes DL in the table. But Martijn will not care about this he is busy winning Div 2 this season. For LU the 3 points are not enough but at least they saved their honor!

We already know ES and AK are number 1 and 2 in this table but who of the 2 will take the number 1 spot making them sure to advance? Both teams took this match really serious. Both teams play WH but AK used a grudge card to force a well deserved victory. David will be very pleased with this result and he takes the number 1 spot in this group. Peter ends as the runner up with 6 points and a GD of 2. That is the worst GD for a runner up so far so let’s go on and see if there are 2 other runner ups who have a worse GD.

Group 5 : This group is really exciting, just like in group 3 anything can happen here. There are 3 teams who can advance. If DV beats SH they are sure to become at least runner up because TH and CA have to play each other. By the way, DV got those 3 points totally undeserved in their match against TH. Otto must have spent all his cash to bribe the ref in that match. TH needs to beat CA to make a chance to advance. If CA wins they get 7 points and will be sure to go through.

This was supposed to be the clash in this group but when we look at the match it’s kind of disappointing. TH wanted to win this match badly and even played a Grudge to make things more solid. But all this effort was useless. CA came with a complete B-team to this match. They didn’t even nominate a captain! This means CA decided to go for the league and forget about the cup. Looking at Ivo’ team we can see he has the best papers to take the div 1 title so this might be a wise decision. TH ends as number 1 with DV as a runner up with a GD of +5. let’s read on and see if this GD is enough to advance.

Group 6 : Everything is decided in this group already. The only thing FI and EW play for is the number one and two spot. Both AS and SS have no chance at all to advance.

It’s a bit of a surprise I see both these teams resting in this match. FI can do a lot better and also EW didn’t perform like they can do. They might both have 6 points but if you loose this match you might end up as the runner up with the worst GD. But both teams where lucky it became a draw. No red cards no penalties and two defensive tactics. A pretty boring game if you ask me. But they both got what they came for and that is most important

As expected both teams rest up and probably try out a new captain. Magnus wins this game and passes AS in the table. Too bad both teams couldn’t make a fist against FI and EW that would have made this group very interesting. The only interesting part is that I see Colin play a smart MM tactic against the ONE of Magnus. The teams where pretty much in balance, but the center forward of SS has in a better form.

In group 7 we see 3 teams have a good chance to advance to the next round. Together with group 5 and 3 this is one of the most exciting groups. AV plays PN and TB plays MR.

TB has been trading a lot lately and they managed to assemble a nice team. In this match we see he doesn’t play all out but it was good enough to beat the weak WP of MR. Actually it’s the first time I see TB play a LB tactic. Correct me if I’m wrong. TB’ LB was not impressive but it was enough to take the 3 points home. When I look at MR I get the feeling Bruce didn’t really want to win this match as he plays WP with only 1 CF and he has NSL 6. I guess both teams got what they came for and Jeroen will be very happy with it. TB has 7 points and a GD of +12 that is enough to go to the next round.

AV needs the 3 points to be sure to advance. Christer took this match seriously and shows he still knows how to play this game. With a smart OFF against PN’ expected WP he takes the 3 points and secures a place in the next round. AV traded and bought some older players and have a good looking div 3 team now. Hopefully for them they can lead it to victory in div 3.

Group 8 : This is again an interesting group in which 3 teams can advance. IQ plays in a clash against old rival GU and DS plays FE who has no chance to advance. On paper DS has the easiest job but you never know what happens in a cup game. I have seen a lot of weird results before.

Both teams needed a win and IQ showed that by playing a boost. I was expecting the same thing from GU but they choose not to do that. IQ could even afford it to get a red card. Looking at the tactics I think GU made a mistake by playing BC. I think Michael gambled that IQ would play CP. The 82 NSL where not good enough for GU in the end giving IQ an easy win. By the way is GU chancing tactics? I believe GU was mister TS and ZD for a long time

Before we look at this match just a thing I notice lately. In this match there is again a red card. For DS this time, if we look back at all other matches in this week we see that almost every game has 1 or more red cards. It looks like peter gave the referees new instructions. (read: made the chance to get cards bigger). That can really decide games so everybody pay attention to it! DS got one card this match but got an easy victory over FE because Fe rested his team. DS has 6 points now and a GD of +3 IQ ends as number 1 and advances to the next round.

Group 9 : A nice group again. AP, EU and FU can advance if they win their match with big numbers. AP has the best papers with already 6 points and a GD of +12. AP plays FA the number last with 0 points so far and EU plays FU who would love to put a div 2 team on a tombstone I guess ?

AP took it easy this match, Martin rested some of his key players and played his traditional WP tactic. The Falcons played a weak ENF tactic so they can’t be surprised they lost with big numbers. There is one remarkable fact however! There are NO RED CARDS in this game ? I see a lot of bookings but this referee was more human. AP has 9 points and advances to the kock out stage, FA ends with 0 points and will have to wait until next season to give it another try.

Last but not least we see the EU – FU clash. Both teams can go through if they win this match and besides that Brian likes to collect tombstones. If I where EU that was enough reason to crush FU but Mike played not all out. It’s kind of surprising he still takes the points home. When I look at FU I don’t think Brian really wanted to win this game as well. When you play a SM tactic you normally don’t want to loose with big numbers. In the end that is what happened EU get a small victory and takes the 6 points home. AP is number 1 and EU is second with a GD of +1.

Let’s sum all up now and see who is through: Finished first in group: OC, NH, NW, AK, TH, FI, AV, IQ, AP. 5 div 1 teams, 2 div 2 teams, 2 div 3 teams. I have to cheer for AK and AV here. They prove to be real cup fighters and me personally like that a lot ? They defend the honour of div 3 and hopefully they can advance a few more rounds before they are knocked out. Finished second in group: TJ 6 +5, JG 6 +25, AR 6 +14, ES 6 +2, DV 6 +5, EW 7 +8, TB 7 +12, DS 6 +3, EU 6 +1, The best seven will advance and form a group of 16 teams with the winners of the groups. Looking at the teams we see there are 7 teams with 6 points and 2 with 7 points. EW and TB will advance. From the teams with 6 points the 2 teams with the worst GD will not make it. In this case this means ES and EU are the unlucky ones. I think ES will be disappointed because of this result. He did try to win his match against AK but faced a Grudge. EU Could have made it if they fielded a stronger lineup. Another remarkable thing is that teams like AA, CA and LU didn’t go to the next round. It looks like CA didn’t want to go through and gambles on the league but you can’t say that from AA and LU. I think especially Nathan will slam his head against the door when he sees the result. Loosing from mike is something you don’t want of course but he should have scored more goals in the first 2 matches.
