my lads fought hard but lost 3-0 against a team from a higher div.
Cup Banter
Well my game went all the way to penalty kicks, but when they missed the first two it was just a matter of not screwing up and AD Fafe are through to the next round with a victory 4-2 on penalties.
We were ahead 7 - 2 on corners, which is the tie breaker, clearly. So we were winning.
Plus we were away.
Won 1 - 1 (2 - 4 on penalties) away. Phew.
All this cup banter is making me sad that I got knocked out in the first round.
WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Team full of four star players? No problem. A 1-0 victory thanks to my recalled striker, the keeper has a blinder and the upset of the round is complete.
Holy shitballs, last I checked I was 2-1 down.
Equalised in the last 20mins, then managed 4 goals in ET!
4-1 agaisnt Team Wellington last game.
Sponsorship goal was to win 3 Cup matches. Fingers triple-crossed for the next round
That is incredible, great result. Well done!
Cup magic!!
Cup magic!!
It's really good to get a premier side away, who has a huge stadium. Because the gate money is split.
I'm through with a 3-0 win, so we'll see!
Another Aotearoa Champ team, a quick look at their squad shows them to be better than the team I just beat, ah well. Good Slimes FC - just beat Peow in the Cup and in Tegal's division. Unfortunately it's at home too. Never mind....
I have a home game against Crystal Planet, mid table in Championship Group 2, think that might be the end of my Cup run...
2-0 loss knocks me out of the cup
B Linto had a good 3 minute spell didn't he? Quickest hatrick ever by a yellow fever player?

I don't see that record being broken somehow!
tough game against Eagle Academy tonight, their record isn't too flash but their formation and players look like they could do some damage.
A win against these guys would secure me that sweet, sweet sponsorship money
2 starters out for tonight's cup match, my CM is injured and my LB is suspended for 4 games (4!?!?!?!), I don't really have any good replacements so it's gonna be an exit.
Hmmm Cup match tonight, at home, just boosted my stadium's seats. Think I might be going down in this one though, really could use the money though. Might sell some players, have 44 current players, need to check the potentials of the younger ones, dump the older ones who aren't playing and just go with it.
Dominated the team in 3rd place in my league and won 6-1. Just need to win the next game to meet sponsorship goals, then hopefully can continue on from there. I've been famous for cup runs in the past, so always enjoy it.
Well my team got completely dominated and went down 7-0 so out of the Cup, now to work on keeping mid-table in the league.
Trains out 5 - 0
The Falcons soar past the Eagles to Round 4 of the Cup!
2-0 win with one injury and 1x yellow card, Ka-Kaawww!!!!
Stoked with this, should be able to buy some new players for next season now :)
Woah, slightly less than stoked that my left back is injured for 7 games though!
Went out with a bang, scored against a very good side, kept it respectable until I went very attacking, a solid cup run.
Wow, drawn premiership side North Shore United in the cup, Away! This could get ugly...
Got a 93rd minute winner.
My 3rd win in the cup means I meet my sponsor goal!
knocked out in the 4th round 3-2 to the Kura Hard G's
Still got my sponsorship goal with 3 wins :) just need to stay in the top half of the league and keep an eye on goals scored/conceded
Got a 93rd minute winner.
My 3rd win in the cup means I meet my sponsor goal!
A fever matchup!
that will be an interesting game
Main midfielder injured and would have sold one of my main strikers by then, so RFC will definitely have a good chance.
TTU won 2-0. He is now the sole fever representative in the cup. Good luck!
Haven't seen who I'm drawn against yet, but it will be mightly hard to make it through the next round given the sides that won last night.
You're up against a championship side. FC united of Auckland. Gives you a decent shot at making the semis, then you never know!
Win the semis and you at least get a runners up medal.
FC look like they have a pretty good team though. Will be difficult. At the very least I hope to injure a couple of his players to give you an easier run to the title.
That'd be lovely thank you!
Cup is back once again, and I've drawn a bot in the first round - a game for once I'll be disappointed to lose!
got me a league one team in the first round - should be a close game
