15th Match - Home vs. Real Betis. Tough one. Betis got an early penalty but missed it. Then, Valencia counter-attacked, leading to a goal from
Mista. Soon after, Ricardo Oliveira slotted two to put Betis ahead. In the second half, Di Vaio was fouled and scored the penalty. Just after, Mista
shot another. Won 3-2.
16th Match - Away vs. FC Penafiel (EFA). Tough. Drew 2-2.
17th Match - Away vs. D. La Coruna. Really tough. I won't talk about it. Lost 3-2. Sigh. Valencia is tied for first with Barca.
nice, the first sounds like a good game.
after the arsenal game, i had to rest the majority of my starters, and i don't have that many other players. i kept the starters who were in the best shape, the best being 64%. 6 of the starting 10 field players were subs/reserves. my next match was home to Torquay (24th in the league). well Torquay came to play, as Cheltenham Town found out early, when they scored a brilliant goal from Kuflour in the 7th minute. It remained 1-0 Torquay until the 74th minute, when Damian Spencer (captain for the game) got a through ball, beat one defender, and shot. The ball hit off the defender's leg and bounced into the upper right corner, as the keeper dove left for the initial save. the game ended 1-1, as Cheltenham Town's undefeated season continued (25-14-0). there are 7 games left, and i'm guaranteed 1st place in Football League One.
Cheltenham Town: 25-14-0 (89 pts)
Hartlepool: 17-11-13 (62 pts)
Stockport County: 17-10-13 (61 pts)
Brighton: 17-9-14 (60 pts)
Macclesfield: 59 pts
Hull City: 58 pts
Brentford: 57 pts
Sheff Wed: 55 pts
Luton Town: 55 pts
it'll be interesting to see how the top 3 will end up.
edit:
in my last game vs Port Vale, i won 3-0. i had two of the worst goals ever.... one, i had a corner and it got punched down the center about 25 yards out. Disley took a shot, which hit Odejayi, who was CLEARLY offsides. the ball then bounced to Damian Spencer, who was also offsides, who walked it into the net because their keeper had dove on the initial Disley shot.
the 3rd goal was not so odd, but just a very random goal. i had a corner, and i hit it to Odejayi who was in front of the net stationary. he headed it, it glanced off one of their defenders, off the keeper, and was going in. their defender, who it hit, tried to clear it with a bicycle kick. the ball first hit the post, then ricocheted off the crossbar, and straight to Murphy, who walked it into the net.
