National cup matches

[Bootstoots]

How did everybody do in the first round of their cup, for all who were able to participate? Here are my results:

quote:
Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 7000 at Atlanta Dome today. Atlanta tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Foley - Doran, Talbert, Shipp, Cardona - Casper, Owen, Graves, Tyler - Braun, Evans.

Yellow tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Kalkun - Haas, Knott, Hawkins - Talley, Borgstedt, Säfsjö, Salparanta, Bengtsson - Tomlin, Burney.

Yellow saw most attack opportunites on the wings and were directing their passes that way. After the game, the most discussed event will be the penalty in the 6:th minute giving the visitors the lead with 0 - 1. Maurice Talley struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Atlanta´s Gregory Evans got himself booked. In the 24:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as Theodore Burney finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Adam Foley kept the home side in the game with a magnificient save, as Maurice Talley delivered an almost perfect free kick to the far cross bar. 0 - 2 was the half-time score. Yellow held the ball, with a clear 72 percent possession rate.

Theodore Burney increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 3. In the 56:th minute Yellows Billie Tomlin received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Maurice Talley increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 4. The structure of the game started to change as Yellow decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. The game had been on for 76 minutes when Billie Tomlin broke through to the right, upping the score to the home crowd´s dismay. Yellow´s were up 0 - 5. The visitors Randy Knott took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and central backs in the 82nd minute. 0 - 6 for Yellow. Yellow held the ball, with a clear 85 percent possession rate.

The most dominating Atlanta player was without a doubt Omar Braun. However, Gregory Evans made a disastrous appearance. Yellow´s best player was Toomas Kalkun. Evert Salparanta was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 6.

Hammered a bot team for the first round without any injuries. Now it's on to a much better division 5 team. I'm going to try for a cupset there, but the chances don't look all that great.
