The commentary on the games is hilarious, keep up the great work! P.S.: Baby Team and Charlatan Bay Infernos are placed wrong in their respective tables - each should be on third place instead of fourth. Edited October 7, 2018 by Drunknok Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 The hawks are undefeated so far... Interesting... Loving the commentary as well. Quote

Capt Wolf Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Gah! Even with the draw against the Red Rogues, the Regimentals are playing like they can't find their uniforms. Maybe that calendar wasn't such a good idea ... Quote

Ross Fisher Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Poor babies. Go have a little lie down! @Capt Wolf It looks like it's your Regimentals vs my 11 for that second slot in the knock-out stage. I'm just hoping for a blue-on-blue final. Also kudos to the Infernos for their high-scoring matches. 46 goals over 4 games! That's what happens when you put all 11 players in offense. Quote
Keymonus Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 So it seems the last day will decide for group two… Four teams are still fighting for the first places, only the Charteres are mathematically out and nobody is mathematically in yet! By the way, funny news about the matches! Quote

Capt Wolf Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Woo-hoo! Weelond is through to the semi-finals! And it looks like we have one team from each faction advancing. Cool! The game summaries are a fun read. Thanks dr_spock! Quote
Ross Fisher Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Well done @Capt Wolf. I can still support the Blue Hawks though! Quote
Darnok Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) The Red Rogues getting their brickbutts kicked and the Weelond Regimentals scoring big time made for a surprising finish in Group 1. It is extremely cool that the results in Group 2 come down to goal saldo - so every single goal did count! Congrats to all the teams advancing to the semis! Also many thanks again to @dr_spock for the highly amusing commentaries. Edited October 10, 2018 by Drunknok Quote
Legostone Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Aww so damn close! Good luck to those in the finals! Go Weelond! Quote
dr_spock Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks, everyone. We've made it to the semi-finals stage. Coming up next: vs. vs. In Bastion, wagering and betting are permitted. We won't report you to your government and tax agencies. Good luck! Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Looking forward to some roasted pineapples... I find it funny we both made it to semis with "injured" players lol Quote

Darnok Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Woo-hoo-hoo! FINALE, O-HO! FINALE, O-HO-HO-HO! Great write-up, and an excellent idea to split the games into many subsections. Made for a much more interesting read! Quote
Capt Wolf Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 OMG! I had forgotten about how the knockout round games had longer descriptions. I think I had 3 heart attacks reading the results! But Weelond is through to the finals! I'm at a loss for words, so I'll depend on emojis. Whew! Congrats to the Infernos for putting up such a tough fight! And to the Blue Hawks as well. I wish them both luck in the third place game. And the Regimentals and Red Rogues will get a rematch from pool play, where they fought to a draw. No quarter will be given this time! Good luck to both teams. ... Man, if Weelond wins and hosts next year's soccer cup, can you imagine what next year's Okterberfest will be like? Quote
