SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 16

DIVISION 2 GAMES

Adirondak Renegades against Defrosted Tunafish is the number 2 against the number 5, so a top match in div 2. Both Don and Claudio played attacking (ONE against WP), so we saw an attractive match, in which the nr. 2 of the table, and title candidate, AR, turned out to be the best team, and that was no surprise actually, after we noticed that neither team played a boost or grudge. The 16-14 was fair, and when you look at the GK’s, they difference may have even been higher. Anyway, another 2 points for Don and AR, who were 3 points behind PN, the nr. 1, so now have to wait what they have done. For DT, I guess they already were out of the race for the title, and safe from relegation, but in spite of that, this loss is inconvenient when it comes to their fight for the playoffs, as ES is only 2 points away.

However, here we see Englehart Storm in action, and their home loss against Oaklake City may not be good news to Derek, Claudio will probably be happy with this result. But he won’t be as happy as Keith, as these 3 points might be very helpful in OC’s battle against relegation. OC is in the danger zone, on position 10, and are only 1 point behind DV. These 3 points might bring him on the good side of the relegation line, but for that, we have to wait and see what DV did. Derek won’t be happy with losing this game, but after their win in the cup earlier this week, which of course is much more important, I think Dereks week will still be good!

Excelsior Warren against Newton Heath is the nr. 4 against the nr. 11 on the table. And that showed. NH were 2 points behind OC, and because we just saw OC win their game, NH needs to win games even more than they already did. But the difference between EW and NH was just too big. It showed in NSL, in EMP, in chances, and of course, as a result of all that, in goals too. After we have seen AR win their game, we see that EW manage to stay in their slipstream, only 1 point behind. And we still have to wait for what PN and LU have done. NH remain in trouble, only now these troubles are even bigger.

Another top half match in div 2, as Dead Scientists, the nr. 6, play a home match against Point of Napier, the nr. 1. Kelly knew this match would be tough, and played a boost. Which was a clever thought of course, but unfortunately for her, S Askandarian messed up everything by misbehaving, and was sent off. That ruined Kelly’s plans. Especially because Tim put a pretty good DS side on the pitch. We won’t know if it would have been strong enough to cope with 11 PN players, but it sure was enough (although not with that big a difference) to beat 10 PN players: 8-7. Losing this match also means losing the top position for PN, as now AR have caught up with them. And maybe LU will as well. The victory and the 3 points for DS means that DS is still only 5 points behind the top teams, so everything is still possible, except relegation. Isn’t that a nice thing Tim!

England Under 21 are the number last on the table, but when you look at them performing in this match, it makes you wonder how the hell that was possible, and what they have been doing in the first half of the season. In this away game against Fanatics United, the number 8 on the table, they had 99 NSL on the pitch, reached over 123 EMP, and because they also had a better GK, they beat there opponent 5-1!! I think Brian will be surprised as well, as this is not what we have seen EU do in the first half of the season. Sure, Mike played a boost, and that made a difference, but I guess that the aging was good for EU, and that is a much more important difference, because that is what stays for the rest of the season. EU is still far away from a safe spot, but if they keep performing like this, I don’t think it’s crazy to say that they can escape heading to div 3. And if they succeed, FU may be one of those teams that, especially if OC might continue to win matches too, have to be careful not to be the victim of those revivals.

SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 16

We have already seen that lady luck is not with Nuno this season, an not just on one occasion. But what is happening here, this week? This is mere insanity!!! In his home match against Deo Volente, Nuno plays a strong Lisbon United: no less than 99.75 NSL! Now, Otto did not play a bad team either, with 95 NSL, but the morale plus the home bonus plus the good players made that LU was still the better team. And when DV was shown a red card (for CM Asochismus), the difference only increased. In the end, we see 137.58 EMP for LU (which is what wins you matches in div 1) against 120.28 EMP for DV (which is not bad of course, but is no guarantee for a victory in div 2). That meant 44 chances for LU, against 29 for DV. Now, of course, LU’s GK was not as good as DV’s GK: 9 against 9.5. But even so, DV should never have won this match. The thing is…..they did! Good news for DV of course, especially now we have seen EU, AP and OC win their match, they need points and they need them bad. But how sad this is for Nuno and LU! We just saw PN lose their game, so LU could be in the lead again (in points that is). Instead of that, they are caught by EW, and fall to 4th position. Nonetheless, let’s hope that this is just an incident, or at least that LU’s bad luck streak comes to an end, as they sure do have the quality to fight for the title until the bitter end.
