DIVISION 2 GAMES

Unlike in div 1, in the first week there were no matches ending in a draw. All 6 matches had a winner, and so we saw a gap between the top half and the bottom half immediately. The question is what teams manage to win the 2nd game as well. (In div 1, not a single team has managed to do that.) In the match between Deo Volente and Dead Scientist, we saw a team that lost their first game (DV) against a team that won their first game (DS). Otto put a lot less NSL on the pitch than Tim (88.75 against 96.25), but because of home advantage and bonuses, the EMP that both teams reached was incredibly close: 117.80 against 117.66. Resulting of course in just as many chances created: 12 each. You should think that, according to that, a draw would have been fair. Looking closer, we could see that DV was playing with a NSL 9.5 GK, while DS played with “only” a NSL 9 GK. That would mean that, looking at the EMP, a draw would still be fair, but if any team would win, the chances would be big that DV would be that winning team. Wrong! DS were awarded a penalty, and since both GK’s managed to save exactly as many chances (7 each), DS wins this match 6-5. Yep, another dutch manager left empty handed. Did I mention that conspiracy theory yet? Anyway, Tim won’t care, as DS win their second match in a row and lead the table. Who will join them at the top?

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 3

Both Newton Heath and Adirondak Renegades won their first match, so this clash between them would decide which team would join DS with a 100% score after 2 matches, at the top of the table. If this match would not end in a draw that is. But since both Robert and Don play attacking, chances are bigger that this match will know a winner. Both teams played ONE, with almost the same NSL, and that led to an interesting match. AR appeared to have the better bonus players, as they had the best EMP: 130 against 122. That resulted in more chances for AR: 28 against 22. On the other side, NH had the better goalie: NSL 10, against ‘only’ NSL 9.5 for AR. This time, that appeared to be of much more influence, because the NH goalie saved almost 75% of the chances, and the AR goalie only 50%. I know, that sounds too much for only 0.5 NSL GK difference. But hey, the word goes that Don has dutch friends, so go figure…… Anyway, NH win this match, with GK Howard as the hero of the day, and join DS at the top of the table. AR are still on a midtable position, and Don will have to find some new friends.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 3

Both England Under 21 and Excelsior Warren lost their first game. According to the fact that both EU and EW were expected to play in the top half of the table, neither team could afford to lose this one. However, only Simon wanted to give something extra and played a boost, where Mike saved his. Considering both teams were equally strong in NSL, it must have been that boost that did it, and made that EW was a little better in EMP, created a few chances more, and because of that scored more goals too. (Although I have to say that Simon was lucky to see his GK perform almost just as good as his opponent). Anyway, EW climb to a midtable position, where EU is still waiting for the first points.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 3

The match between Oaklake City and Lisbon United is a match that we could see in div 1 last season. This year, both teams should be fighting for at least a playoff spot. However, after this 1-0 victory for LU, it looks like OC are not as much in the race for that as LU. But a closer look learns that you cannot blame Keith for that. OC’s performance is nice, at looking at the div 2 average, they will win their points, and will be fighting for the playoffs in due time, don’t worry. On the other hand, when you look at the smashing 141 EMP in an away game, without playing a boost or grudge, it makes you wonder what LU is doing in div 2!! Man, Nuno has a great team, and if he can manage to keep this pace, LU will be candidate nr. 1 for the title! Although of course, we have to wait and see what his rotation will be like. Anyway, 3 more points for LU, who are also at the top of the table with 6 points out of 2 matches, where OC are still waiting for the first points.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 3

Defrosted Tunafish and Englehart Storm are 2 teams that lost their first match, so this week, at least one of them will win their first points this season. In an attractive, attacking match, it was DT who turned out to be the best. Well, the best……… may we say the luckiest? Is that a better description? Just look at that poor ES, they saw not 1 but 2 players leave the field with a red card. That cost them 16 NSL!!! But hey, take a look: the difference between DT and ES was no less than 26!!! That means that, even without these red card, DT still would have been 10 EMP better! So, Claudio is not lucky, not at all. He simply had the best team, and that’s that. DT climb to a midtable position, where ES still waits for points.

TEAM PENALIZED

  
SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 3

Point of Napier and Fanatics United are among the teams that won their first match. So, the winner of this game would join DS, NH and LU at the top of the table with a 100% score. And where Brian played a boost in an effort to achieve that, Kelly didn’t. Well, the boost in fact only made that FU turned out to be equally strong as PN, instead of stronger. (Actually, PN was still a little stronger). But since PN played with a NSL 9 GK, and FU’s GK was NSL 10, it was FU who won the victory in the end, and I’m not sure if it was entirely because of the boost, but at least playing that boost made that there was no doubt about the winning team.

So, FU, DS, NH and LU are leading the table. What will the next round bring? I expect at least one of these 4 will win again next week, so we will see what team will be with 100% score next week.
