2003 Gold Medal Cup

[Shark]

Since I was knocked out of the Sportsmans Cup in the group stage, thought I'd write about the new cup which deadline closed on the 17th.

This is a great value for money cup, with 2 meetings and 2 teams promoted. Luckily for me, there are 7 people in my group (including me) and theyre all Swedes. Flying the flag for non-swedes on my own the people in my group aaaare...

Vilhelmina IFK - ranked 7693 - sweden div 8
Finnish Front - 4092 - sweden div 7 -
Ösby United - 3275 - sweden div 7 :s
FC ARIS - 13876 - sweden div 7
King Razors - 41899 - sweden div 8 (don't play friendlies)
FC Missi - 2077 - sweden div 7 :s

pretty good group in my opinion, reckon i got a pretty good chance. None of them above div 7, but shouldnt underestimate them. Post who you got in your group here!

Heh, mine are all Swedes, surprise!

Besiktas - 32795 -
Fylke IF - 1744 -
Lilla Skrutans Gäng - 2411 -
Morg FF - 14667 -
Nordala United FC - 1845 -
Springfield Globetrotters - 722 -
Team Thoren - 4633 -

EIGHT teams in my group, great, gotta finish above at least six Swedes.

Some teams look good so again I'll have my work cut out to qualify... I can afford second but will aim for first, I'll probably finish third though knowing my luck!

[hooper14]

ur not ranked 43rd! 100 somethin haha

 

[Rami]

ya arrogant bastard

 

[chris boston]

I drew 1-1 at home yesterday, that was against the second best team I will face, but really should've won.

 

[Shark]

won 6-0 in first match today

 

[VprArs06]

lost 5-2 against a team ranked 5000+

 

[chris boston]

Won 3-0, 17-3 SC, should've scored more... again.

But still, got the win I needed.

 

[Rami]

I just won 4-3! 9-9 on sc's

 

[myfatcat]

3-1 win at home and a 3-0 win away leave me joint top

 

[Swish]

won first game 5-1, won second game 7-1

 

[Rami]

just won 5-0. my 5th goal was class, the player was near the corner flag and just lobbed the keeper from there

 

[chris boston]

Just won 2-0, should've been more ( ) but yet again the opposition keeper was playing a blinder.

Think that's two wins and a draw, hopefully I can progress from this group as well, but there's a long way to go, seven opponents and two meetings, the equivalent of a whole season but with three games a week instead of one.

 

[myfatcat]

Nice 4-0 win against another team called AC Milan ... doing well against those named teams.
but got 2nd at home and 3rd away next ... we'll see how things are at halfway...

Team                   M   W   T   L   +   -   =   P

[chris boston]

I drew 2-2 away, I won't bother telling you who was the better team with more possession and scoring chances as you should know by now. But this cup isn't going too well this week, not sure what my table is like but I'm probably midtable.

 

[chris boston]

Damn it, after a great run of winning 4/4 cup games last week, three in this cup, I have a horror day today, drawing 0-0 and losing 3-1, now I lost 3-1 in this cup, despite having 8-4 SC in my favour. Yes, they scored three goals from four shots on target! And I got 1/8. Argh, bloody joke.
