DIVISION 3 GAMES

Both Adelaide Kickers and Blue Storm FC are in the bottom half of the table. So, this game against each other was an excellent opportunity to do something about that. A victory would not necessarily mean climbing to the top half, but at least it would mean getting closer. Therefor, it was no surprise that both David and Brandon decided to boost this game. However, since both of them boosted, it made that both teams were still on the same “level”. And on that level, partly because of the home advantage, it was AK who were just a little better. It was even less than 4 EMP, but that was enough for a couple of shots more, and with that, enough for a 5-4 victory. AK climb and are on a position close to the top half, while BS, with not grasping this opportunity, remain at the bottom of the table. However, in their home match, under equal circumstances, they might be the lucky team.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Falcons against Vitesse Arnhem is a match between the nr. 4 and the nr. 8 in division. VA of course will stay close behind the leaders, while FA will want to jump to the top half, to stay in the race for at least a playoff spot. Neither Nik nor Fred however, regarded this match important enough to play a boost or grudge, which was somewhat surprising. Fred was unlucky to see his CB Guyett leave the field already in the 6th minute, but in spite of that VA was still the better team, although the difference was very, very, very small an less than 1 EMP. He was lucky though, on the other hand, to see his GK (who was 0.5 NSL less than the GK on the other side) perform just as good as his opponent, making VA win the game in the end after all. Nik will be disappointed to come so close to a victory and yet be left empty-handed after all, but without the red card, VA would have won this one for sure, so I guess the neutral viewer can live with this result. And so can Fred.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

In the match Melchester Rovers against Trav Spoodle, once again we see 2 teams that are in the bottom half of the table, so once again, at least 2 points will be divided amongst the bottom half teams. It was Bruce who took the risk of hoping that home advantage would be just enough to beat TS, but when it turned out that TS in fact did play a boost, that turned out to be a wrong bet. I can’t tell if it was only the boost that made that TS was so much better, that they won the game. Perhaps they would have won this match as well without the boost, but it would have been very close. This way, the boost made it sure, and in my opinion, that means another boost well-spent. (By the way, we see a lot of boosts and grudges this week!)

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

The African Selects and the Speedsters are the numbers 5 and 6 of the table. Already, they are on respectable distance from the leaders of the table, but at least they are chasing the chasers. After we just saw FA lose their match against VA, the winner of this game (if there is a winner) will catch up and climb. And this match indeed knows a winner. Unfortunately, in spite of playing the boost, it wasn’t Shaun. It was a good move of course, especially when it turned out that Colin did NOT play a boost or grudge. Whether it was luck, or the fact that Colin was smart enough to calculate that AS would have a good chance on winning this game even without playing a boost, I don’t know. But I think the latter, because Colin is a great guy. ? Because: indeed, even without a boost, AS was too strong for SS: the difference was 5 EMP, and that showed in both chances and goals: 12-8. AS secure their top half position, where SS drop to the bottom half of the table, but still in the race for let’s say a playoff position.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Finally, in the match between Smoking Guns and Aros VSK, we see the first leader of the table in action this week. They play at home, in their own Umarec Stadium, against Aros VSK, whose start isn’t as good as expected. And that start remains not as good as expected (or even worse!) after this game, as Monty and SG manage to win their 5th game in a row, and with that SG are still with a 100% score, leading the table, while AV remain in the bottom. Now, with another 3 points for SG, the question is what SH will have done this week.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Well, we don’t have to wait long for the answer to that question: Stannington Historical live up to their reputation, and make no mistake in the home match against Fantastic Eleven. Since this was the clash between the numbers 1 and 3 on the table, this match was the top match in div 3 this week. However, in spite of that promising perspective, the game was not exciting, not at all. It was 90 minutes of football in one direction, as SH was so much better! The difference was this: Len was determined to win this game, no matter what. He figured that if Clive would play a grudge, SH would only need a boost to win the game anyway. And so, Len played that boost, to make sure the 3 points were for SH. That was in any tactical or strategical way the best thing to do, Len did what he had to. The fact that Clive figured that this match would be so tough, that even if he gave it his very very best, PLUS a boost, he might still end up empty-handed, so he decided to skip this one and save his players AND his boosts and grudges for other matches, was not important. Well, not important for Len that is, as for Clive this was in my opinion also a very good tactical move. Know when to pick your matches NOT to win! The result of all this was that SH was no less than 40 (!!) EMP better, and so the win was a walkover, a formality: 29-9. SH keep up with SG and stay in the lead, both still with a 100% score after 5 matches, while FE see VA climb to the 3rd spot.
