Subject: Japan Cup

gosh!! indeed it's gonna be an interesting match :)

Mzico, good luck!!!

I'm sure will be a ecxiting match!

chi - Thank you for the compliments. and teovic, thank you too. Yes, I was a little surprised at how well my team played, but in the end, chi your team had much better stamina, so I believe you deserved the win.

Good luck to the rest of you for the rest of the Japan Cup!

Kreza! HI!
it's a pleasure for us that there is a so strong team as your!

I don't know if we have to face for get J-League in future, because i don't know the system of play off. I hope we can joing with Brazuca, mzico and chi in J.league without so big problems. I think will be so ecxiting tournament.

Who know about J-play off? we have to meet a team from j-league or the selection is just between the best team of j-league2? and how many teams can reach j-league from j-league2?

Hmm the best team In J2-League(01,02,03,04)
don't play play off:)The best team from J2-Leagues play in J-League:) but 3 teams plays play off with 5,6,7 teams.. in J-League:) IF you win your in J-League:)

Then Nippon could have 4 new teams in J-league:)

that's real good news!
i hope next season there will be 7 stong teams in J-League!!!!

yeah ;) 7 strong teams in J-League ... and I think that will be World Cup NT :) hehe

It's easy, the best J-2 champion will promote directly, and the three others will promote vs ugly bots. They should be easy, but better to line your best teams ;). Hopefully, next season only a bot will remain in J-League (and sure it will descend directly the following one ^^)

my team is out!
i think i played almost perfect, my two strikers have had many balls to score, but they failed for bad status of general form.

I think Mzico had only a ball and he scored..that is soccer...

From now i have to think only to go to J-League.

Congratulietion to Mzico, but now i'm totaly BLUE!!!!!!!!!!
(in italian we say: inc.....nero @!£$░☺)

Good match between BANZAI! and Kashima Anthlers, very balanced. Congratulations to Kashima, tough BANZAI could have won if not had failed some of its earlier chances (luck is sometimes horrible :S).

Well, three human and one bot teams remain. Let's wait to know the pairs for next week :?. Here are the statistics until today:

Hatakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I knew this game would be defined in details.

I saw more likely how teo played against brazuca and realized I'd only have a chance if I could equalize the power of his defense (almost perfect) and match this with a good ball possession (I had 56%, which is, for such a balanced game, something to make a difference).

That's why I used two creative midfields and one defensive midfield, acting more like a defender, but with solid playmaker and passing. So, I entered basically not to suffer any goals and expect that these midfields and my strikers could do something any time.

I think we had a strong balanced defensive game here, although teo indeed had two realistic chances at the very begining of the game. I was lucky that there were two offsides that could have told a different history for the game.

Let's head on to the semi-finals!

Mzico really good exam of match.
I think the big problem for me was the form of my first strikers.. that form go on to go down without reason. To my goolkeeper never arrived a shoot...that make me really sad.

My tactic was different from match with tricoloco. Bruzuca had really strong player on the side so i tried to repair my defence in every way.

With you instead i tried to attack your side and in second time i put a fresh player on the right side really really fast, he created really problems on your left side.

I studied every situation to face you and i tried to create a tactic to face in better way in your weak point. I think i did a good jobm but that wasn't enough.

unfortunately my strikers was totaly down . Next time never happen again...

Great match, now i have to think about to reach J-League. I want also to build stadium. i need more place.

thanks to all you!
ciao!

After another interesting match, though easier, my team reached the dreamed finals.

It is already a victory to be there.

Obviously I am not crazy to say I have a chance against chi, but I'll try to defend every attack of hers. It is no secret Hataka has the best players, specially strikers, and has a natural ongoing tendency to be the champions again.

I will be more than happy with my 2nd place!

Hehe, let's see what happens. I won't be able to see the match live as we'll be out on holidays some days, but I will look it as soon as I can, before looking the forums, sokker-mail, etc. I leave my players with precise instructions, and they know that if they play bad I maybe will put them to play only the friendlies the rest of the season :p

Anyway, good luck ^^

I wish you all to have a good time these days, and have a happy new year :D

See you ;)

Mzico congratulations for the heading of the Japan Cup.
