Donation Welcome!

I don't get paid for writing these blogs, I do it cause I really love ML (celebrating 50 seasons in a few months!) and I think this place needs a news place. I write the reports all by myself and as a student it's really hard as I don't have a lot of free time.

I'd be glad if you show your appreciation by a donation of few credits (2 will do) here: Israel VFC 

If many credits will be donated, I will hold a credit-free cup for the donators and my readers.

Looking for Translators!

Hablas español?  Parlez-vous français?  Making the interviews for the Blog are pretty hard as not all of the managers speak English and I don't know as many languages so it would be great if representatives of each league will help me interview when needed!

We have our finalists and surprsingly it's not between two former Champions!

Galacticos 2:1 Blest
The Australians leave it late as they came from behind to defeat one of most award-winning team in ML.
Belst were better at the first half and after few shots on target they broke the deadlock on 39 minutes thanks to Ragnar Lthbrok shot. Galacticos had a chance earlier to go ahead from a free kick but it was saved. The second half started with a good chance for the Norwegians to double their lead but Galacticos' keeper kept the score as it is. The Australians pushed forward and got the equaliser after great attacking display from The Motherload who left it to Clair De Lune to slot to the empty net. Both teams failed to create chances and it looked like the game is going to extra time but a horrible mistake by Blest keeper Emanuele Lepore during a corner in the last minute enabled Mr. Jack to head home the winner for the Australians. Wild celebrations for the Galacticos fans, their team made it to the final for the first time. Celebrations on the Australian island too for a second season in a row there's an Australian team in the Final. That doesn't happen every season.

"Blest have shown why they have been a very successful team by exhibiting their strength throughout the majority of the game, so to get a result by overturning a deficit is very pleasing" said a joyfull GrannyRobo. "I'm looking forward to my teams' first appearance in a Champions League final against a team that has done very well to get there themselves. Hopefully my bots can emerge victorious and get their hands on the cup. Very happy to be following Fatal Justice lead in shaking up the Champions League with Australian teams. Very keen to make it 3 titles in 4 seasons for Australia, even more so that me and Roscopp both originally come from the same town". Roggbif was a bit dissapointing: "Well, surprising and surprising but he have better Q than me. Not happy that I lost, especially when I had most chances and best performance. They had nothing, a corner, a free-kick and a solo run in 90miin, no chances from active play. However we weren't better, dissapointed in my midfielders, expected more from them. Bit surprised that he played 532 long ball for the first time this season. I see that as a victory for me. Most dissapointing is that a midfielder with 70Bc could dribble my defence and score in that attack, I don't know what I should say..". I asked him who does he think will win: "AKNEO have been impressing in the KO's but I think Galacticos will win. Good luck to both teams though..I will be in the VIP room with my ladies around me..".

 

MIC 1:4 AKNEO
The game was decided after 5 minutes. Csaba Vörös was controversially sent off after a brutal tackle on Luis Alberto Suarez. Lionel Andres Messi scored the lead for the Poles a bit later from a penalty, but MIC managed to equalised as Aiden McGeady capitalized on a loose ball in AKNEO's defence. Messi, Neguyen Hong Son and Neymar Jr scored in the secon half to bring AKNEO for a second ever final. MIS will have to wait for their second final.

"I won cause he got off in 5 minutes of the game. 11vs11 wouldv'e been different but now we can just guess. 13 seasons ago I had a better team and much more weaker opponents in every stage. But as Chairman says don't be blinded by Q..I hope to win the Final!" said HektorArte who was celebrating the win with his fans. "It wasn't my lucky day. Yesterday an early red helped me, today's one didn't and it was on a normal tackle. I prefer both games had been decided by tactics rather by reds." said a dissapointing petryk99.

East Yorkshire will try to defend their title on Thursday as they face surprising Nemesis.

TRIFYLLI 1:4 East Yorkshire FC
Despite great attacking display from the English the game was close untill the 62nd minute.
Nikica Jelavic scored at the first minute but the Greek could have equalised shortly after when they awarded a penalty but Dag Driver missed it. Petr Cech tried to keep his sheet clean against an unstopping pressure from E.Yorkshire Abel Hernandez got his team's second 10 minutes before half time. TRIFYLLI started the second half with a lot of pressure but it was Abel who almost tripled the lead. Zaki al-Ba'labakki finally converted the pressure into goal at the 61st minute but it was his team's only goal. A minute later Barry Grennan was sent off for the Greek after a second yellow for a foul inside the area. Jelavic converted the penalty and Robbie Brady added one to bring the English for a second final in a row. Impressive stuff.

"I have been surprised at how easy it has been in the last 3 rounds, blew my opponents away despite very small Q advantage! I think the final will be difficult but hopefully my team should have enough to retain the trophy. I am hoping to qualify for next season as well and, should I win this season, have the opportunity to win it 3 seasons running!" said hopeful Sarge. "The red card at the 62nd minute of the game when the match was still 2-1 was very crucial for the result along with the lost penalty at the 9th minute of the game. Really unlucky there.." said the losing manager tascuba. "My feeling is that the trophy won't change hands this season although it will be a tough game since Nemesis FC has very high teamstats at the moment" he added as he wished both managers good luck.

 

KA Barcelona 1:3 Nemesis FC
The Hungarians controlled the match untill the 38' minute but failed to really threat the goal. Then Kalman Kis was sent off, in a bit harsh decision, and Alexis Sanchez curled in a perfect free-kick from 27 metres. It was a one way traffic from here despite the equalising goal from Terry McDermott. However, the Romanian couldn't find the net and it looked like KAB might survive to extra time but Laurent Koscielny scored 6 minutes from time and Sanchez added a converted penalty to win the game for Nemesis. A first final for them.

"I told you I'll try win again!" said over joyed alin, "This game had two main players: Alexis Sanchez and Kis Kalman. My striker did magic and his defender got a red card and leaned the balance towards me. Against East Yorkshire it will be more difficult but I will try to win!". KAB's manager, Klucsesz, refused to comment about the game but he looked pissed off and said he hopes E.Yorkshire will win the Final.
