SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 16

DIVISION 1 GAMES

After last weeks loss, which also cost them the lead in div 1, Jazz Greats have an opportunity to make up for that mistake as they take on Grammar United in a home match. The nr. 2 on the table versus the nr. last, you might think that would be an easy match for JG. Well, no surprises here: it was. Not only did Bart play 98 NSL, which would probably mean that JG would beat GU anyway….at GU headquarters it was thought that this match would be a great opportunity to rest players as it would be one of the toughest matches to win. They were probably right. It also meant that this match was not exciting, not at all. JG were almost 40 EMP better, and that would have even been more if GU would not have played the boost. (By the way: I do not understand this boost. Why play a boost if you are resting players, put no more than 82 NSL on the pitch? What difference would it make?) Anyway, JG win big, and I think that Bart may have better rested some of the players this week, that he rested last week. Who knows what would have been possible.

InterQuartiel Rangers and The Boelewieten are the numbers 3 an 6 on the league table, which makes this a top half match. The difference between them is only 3 points (in TB’s favour), so a victory for the home team could level things. The game, in which both teams played CP, could have been very attractive. TB played 7 NSL more, but IQ had the home advantage. However, IQ suffered from a red card already early in the match, and that was too much to deal with for the brave IQ, who probably –even without the red card- would not have been able to beat this TB anyway, with their 3 freaks. But with 10 players, they did not stand a chance for sure: the 11-18 in the end was a good reflection of this game. Jeroen and TB stay on 3rd position after JG, still 7 points ahead. Will that be too big a gap to overcome? Terry and IQ risk falling to the bottom half of the table with this loss, so they have to watch what teams like AA, CA and NW will do.

What can you say about the match between Alcohol Anonymous and Catbel Athletic? When AA play their strong defense, it is very hard to beat them, especially at The Local Pub. Just look at how easy they reach 131 EMP this week, without boosts or grudges, only 2 teams reached more EMP this round, JG and TB. Now, I know that 131 EMP may be good, but not very impressive. However when you can achieve that week after week, like AA does, it says something about the quality of the team. In this weeks match, AA faced a tough opponent in CA. Both AA and CA, the 2 teams that were fighting for last seasons title, were expected in the top half this season, so their positions now are a little bit disappointing. But since every thing is still very close, everything is still possible. That is, if they start winning games. As this 0-0, which was a very fair result –since both teams appeared to be equally strong- makes that Nathan and Ivo do not lose the game, but they do lose 2 points both. By playing a boost, it looks like Ivo prevented a loss, so can you call it well spent? He still lost 2 points……….don’t know what to think about that actually. A grudge may have even brought home a victory, so what would have been a smart move? Anyway, one point each makes that AA and CA remain in that large midtable, where everything is still possible.

And here we have another game without any goals: FC Inferno against Tottenford Heats: 0-0. Unlike the previous game, here both teams play defense, and as a result of that, the only chance on creating chances would be by smother shots. In that perspective, Mark can call himself a lucky bastard, as if S. Tesco would have got that red card a few minutes later, (if even got a red card at all!!!) FI would have had enough EMP difference to get that smother shot! Now, however, the difference was small enough to end this match as it started: 0-0. Little bit of bad luck for Marco, but I don’t think he can complain too hard, as when you play this defensive against a strong defense team like TH, without playing a boost or grudge, you know that 0-0 will be a very likely result. So, a point each for the numbers 4 and 5 on the league table, who are 4 points behind TB now. Is Jeroen creating a gap here?

Apocalypse against The Jazz is what you can call a relegation battle. It’s the match between the numbers 10 and 11, both below the danger line, and if ever a victory was wanted, it was in this match! However, in spite of the importace of this match, neither Martin nor Stewart played a grudge. Which makes sense of course. If you want to escape the danger zone, you have to beat teams on the other side, to switch positions. And they may be even tougher to beat. Stewart did play a boost though, but that turned out to be not enough . AP’s Wingplay has become stronger after midseason aging, with those killer attacking freaks, and that was too strong for this brave TJ. The only reason that the game was still very close, is because AP played with a NSL 7 GK! Man, what a match to take a risk Martin! Anyway, he gets away with it, as AP beat TJ, and win 3 important points. With this, TJ and AP remain on positions 10 and 11, and after we have seen AA and CA win 1 point, they may have to focus on the NW result even more.

Well, the good news for Martin and Stewart, is that NoShaKi ’98 had to face Druss Legends this week, the proud leader of the table. Apparantly the DL management did not want to gamble on a good result against the nr. 1, and decided to rest the best players, which left no more than 85 NSL to face DL. That of course was no problem for Martijn and his team: with another cool Wingplay performance, another 3 points were won, and when you look at the fact that NW played with a NSL 9 GK, against 9.75 for DL, you may even call it strange that the win wasn’t any higher. However, Martijn will care less: another easy victory leaves him one match less to winning the title. Or at least trying to, that is…….
