Re: Official FMFWC 2009 thread
*Played yesterday*
Beaugium 4-4 Craitland
The tournament's highest-scoring game so far ended with some unbelievable play and saw both teams go through the group stage.
Beaugium went into this match looking at being the first team this year to keep a 100% record while Craitland needed just a point to secure a place in the quarter-finals. A tightly-contested first half between the only two national sides to have won the World Cup finished at 1-1; Beaugium going ahead with a penalty and Craitland equalising close to the end. Steve Stevenson took his tournament haul to four goals with 12 minutes played, converting a penalty after being felled by Hjaņ Herä's clumsy challenge. Beaugium created a break down the centre of the park, in the match's first attack, and Alan Alanson tucked the ball in behind Herä to find Stevenson. Although Stevenson, on the edge of the area, was covered by Paulio Demhivo, Herä slid in from the side and took Stevenson down. The referee only deemed the challenge worthy of a yellow card and awarded the penalty. Stevenson went low and hard, sending Cherry Trees teammate Jack Vorgensen the wrong way. After conceding so early, Craitland chose to familiarise themselves with the ball for the next ten or so minutes, with no attacks from either side made. Beaugium had the best opportunity prior to Craitland's equaliser, however, Stevenson tapping the ball past Vorgensen but also past the post after combining with Adam Adamson's cross. The equaliser came on the stroke of half-time, thanks to in-form striker Tommy Hjansen. He managed to free himself of his marker during a Markko Edmildón corner and headed home at the back post, over the head of Alex Alexanderson on the line.
One-all at half-time and nothing much of a spectacle so far, but that was all about to change. Beaugium brought on Sam Samson during the break, replacing the constantly outmuscled Phil Phillipson, while Craitland swapped the booked Herä for Jón F'achh. Beaugian Samson had an almost immediate impact, netting twice before the second half even truly got going. The striker, who plays for hometown club Sirap Slitherers, met an Adamson cross with aplomb three minutes in; powering a header past Vorgensen after outjumping Paulio Demhivo. By the 55th minute, Beaugium were two ahead, again through Samson but this time through his left foot. Alan Alanson instigated the attack once more, touching the ball past Toby Vorgensen and F'achh, and laying it to Samson, whose touch beat the usually-brilliant Jon Anders Larsen. Samson found himself in the area again and tucked the ball into the small gap between the charging 'keeper and the post. The Craitish players hadn't a clue what had hit them, although managed to pull the score back to 3-2 via Freddie Gaärsen eight minutes later. The Cherry Trees forward used his pace against centre-back James Jameson, beating him to the ball forward before coming back inside and pelting it past Fred Frederickson from seven yards. Another eight minutes passed after Craitland's equaliser before Beaugium made it 4-2. The initial attack was put behind by Vorgensen's good save and the following corner by Demhivo's header, but the second corner was bundled in by Peter Peterson. Stevenson got on the end of the ball in, heading it down at goal, but it rebounded off Larsen on the post and Peterson only had to toe-poke it past Vorgensen who had lost sight of the ball in the crowded box.
Craitland made two changes minutes after Beaugium's fourth, bringing on Alexis Proteņ for Jón Hjansen and striker Paul Óma-ó-Täó for the inneffective midfielder Tom Vorgensen to change to a 3-4-3 formation. Óma-ó-Täó was booked four minutes after coming-on, scything down Stevenson just outside the box. Luckily for Craitland, the freekick was hit straight down Vorgensen's neck from Adamson. Óma-ó-Täó created Craitland's third goal not too long afterwards, however. The Osĵätoņ Aztecs forward linked-up superbly with Freddie Gaärsen for him to get his second of the game. Gaärsen passed out to Óma-ó-Täó with the outside of his boot, curling it around Alanson, and Óma-ó-Täó picked Gaärsen out with his return ball. The Aztecs man held-up play cleverly, watching Gaärsen's run into the box and crossing at the right moment. Gaärsen performed an outlandish volley from the cross in; looking over his shoulder when running through with his back to the ball, he saw it coming over his left side. Swivelling at the right moment, now unable to watch the flight of the ball, he somehow met it perfectly with his right boot as it came over his left shoulder. The strike was a dipping volley which flew over the high dive of Frederickson but under the crossbar, and into the net. With nine minutes, plus stoppage time, remaining, it was game on. After two Beaugian surges forward, Craitland eventually made their quarter-final position safe through Alexis Proteņ. The young Biulya äqi Jedu left-back, drafted into his first Craitish team for this tournament, curled-in a beautiful shot from an improbable place. Markko Edmildón ran down the line and had his cross deflected behind by Rob Robertson. Edmildón too the corner, fooling the Beaugian defenders by playing it along the ground to Proteņ, who was waiting near the edge of the area. Without a look, Proteņ hit it first time from around 20 yards. The shot, hit with the player's much stronger left foot, curled in deep and Fred Frederickson appeared to be capable to catching it. However, it kept-on travelling, looped over the 'keeper and into the goal where the man on the line would have been if he hadn't have moved forward to attempt to play the offside trap. Proteņ and his teammates celebrated the left-back's first international goal (in only his second appearance) greatly as they hadn't learned of the other game's score and knew a draw would see them through. The final whistle sounded right after the kick-off and both teams congratulated each other's progress.
Beaugium miss-out on three wins out of three but cannot feel hard done by with the way that Craitland mounted their fightback. Craitland get the point they needed to advance, going through in second to face Bobalania in the next round. Beaugium will be up against Tellia, in a repeat of the 2006 final, in the last quarter-final.

TableInterland 0-1 Monovia
A ninth-minute goal killed-off the game and left Interland bowing-out of the World Cup in disappointing fashion after a strong start.
Lucas Zaya's first goal for his adopted home nation sealed the win for Monovia to put them third in the group, above Interland. Only nine minutes of play had gone-by before Zaya capitalised on some slack defending to put Monovia ahead. Adam Lalić skipped past a tackle from Henryk DiabeÅ‚ to get inside the area and touched it across to the unmarked Zaya, who doesn't miss from eight yards with half the goal open to aim at with no defenders near him. Monovia's other best chance of the first half also fell to Zaya but the Biulya äqi Jedu man couldn't manage to keep his shot down when it came to the vital moment. Interland were unable to break-down the partnership of Karlo TkalÄić and David Große, and ended the half with no shots on target to their name.
The second half yielded nothing different for Interland, who only managed to break through once but Marian Wyzywan didn't keep enough composure to beat Charles Richardson in goal. Monovia's other Craitland-based striker had their best chance of the second half. Armand Diarra's effort from the top-left corner of the area clipped the post on its way out of play just after the hour mark. Diarra did have another good opportunity before the end of the match and would have probably got his shot on target if it weren't for Patryk Gadowicz's deflection taking it out for a corner.
Neither team will see any knock-out football this tournament. Interland's slight chances were dashed early in the game and, even worse, Monovia overtake them to get third-place in Group D with this last-game win.

Re: Official FMFWC 2009 thread
Extremely sorry but I've had coursework by the bucketload the last couple of weeks and have had to put this on hold. I'll try my best to do as much as possible in the coming week(s) but just so you know, there'll probably be a bit of a gap between any events

*Played 16/10/09*
Alexandria 4-2 Toketi
Stade Royale, Geneva
After twice taking the lead, Toketi's plucky display was flattened by three second-half Alexandrian goals.
Toketi went ahead through their top scorer this tournament Tom Kenstein heading in an Ichigo Trask corner from seven yards within the first ten minutes of the game. Alexandria responded almost straight after the restart, passing their way through a jubilant Toketi defence before Florent Lassana-Traoré slotted in his fourth of the competition from the edge of the box. Ichigo Trask made it 2-1 to Toketi before the break, hitting the back of Rémi Marin's net from an acute angle after meeting Erin Jowasaki's through-ball.
After half-time, Alexandria managed to wear-down Toketi, scoring two in six minutes midway through the half. Khalid Mohamed brought them level with a near-post header from Damián Sala's short cross after just over an hour's play before Lassana-Traoré took his tally to five with a tap-in after Turk ronAjain could only parry Mohamed's original edge-of-the-box shot. The Alexandrians made their victory certain with a penalty six minutes from time. Daniel Taleva, who had replaced Lassana-Traoré minutes earlier, was hauled down just inside the box, with Richard Miesin seeing yellow, and placed the penalty past the outstretched ronAjain to put them into the semi-finals for the second year running.

Nova England 2-1 Passas (AET)
Sebastianian Grand Stadium, San Sebastian
Nova England scraped through to their first World Cup semi-finals since 2006 with a win over last year's runners-up Passas in extra-time.
A goal in each half saw the score at 1-1 at full-time, with Passas nicking the lead just before the break and Nova England cancelling it out just after the restart. The game was largely uneventful except for the goals as neither side wanted to slip-up in the first knock-out round. Lukasz Dabrowski chipped the ball through the Nova English defence two minutes before half-time for Phillip Sherman to touch past the rushing Paul Larkin for his third goal of the World Cup. Almost directly after the break, Nova England made it level. Some clever weaving and passing from Callum Sorrel and Ka'an Peterson undid Passas' tight back four and opened-up a gap for Jeff Johnson to run through a slot a shot from the "D" into Marcus East's bottom-right corner.
With no other real chances made for the rest of the game, extra-time was needed to settle it. Again, neither side wanted to leave themselves exposed for a counter-attack, so no decent chances were formed until the second half. Nova England caught Passas unaware again at the start of the half and Ka'an Peterson tapped-in a Sorrel squared ball after the Nova English number eight had outpaced Henry Racckam. Passas' best chance after Nova England had completed their comeback was Lukasz Dabrowski's long-range effort a minute before the end, which Larkin saved comfortably with an easy dive to his left.

*Played 17/10/09*
Bobalania 1-1 Craitland (AET) (2-3 penalties)
Le Temple, Crécy
Craitland held-on by the skin of their teeth to push this one-sided contest with Bobalania to penalties and keep their dream of a third consecutive title alive.
A no-score bore draw in the original ninety minutes saw only a few chances on goal, all of which fell to Bobalania. Craitland's best effort was a Yaqin Senovichi attempt from over thirty yards which dipped onto the roof of Matthew Bailey's net in the second half. Bobalania created a couple of good chances, which, if luck were on their side, they could have scored from. Sam Hyeland headed against the bar from Mark Qwerty's corner, midway through the first half, and Luís Liotta had his rasping shot from the edge of the area blocked on the line by Paulio Demhivo.
Into extra-time and Bobalania maintained their onslaught of the Craitish defence, eventually getting a just reward in the second half. Mark Norman beat Jack Vorgensen at the second attempt during a goal-line scramble from two yards. Luís Liotta swung in a deep cross which Vorgensen punched out, but not away, and Sam Hyeland hit a reaction shot which deflected off Demhivo to Norman. The Middlestock AFC forward struck the ball into the diving Vorgensen's legs and was first to react to the rebound to toe-poke the ball into the half-empty net for 1-0. Five minutes later, Craitland had sprung a surprise and equalised. Yaqin Senovichi took control of the ball inside his own half and found space to run into, and after evading Lee Bowie's tackle, laid the ball out to Markko Edmildón. The Hänävissen-ó-Cräiteland winger beat Billy Bobagota for pace and knocked the ball in from the by-line. Senovichi, who had continued his run, met the cross on the volley on the corner of the area and hit the ball across goal. The shot dipped, fooled Matthew Bailey and unexpectedly went in off the far post. As the referee whistled for time minutes later, the dreaded penalty shootout was ominous.

Beaugium 3-2 Tellia
Stade de Loup, Ville d'Alain
A brave Tellian fightback wasn't enough to overturn Beaugium's three first-half goals and the 2006 champions take one step closer to winning it again.
Three goals in a rapid-fire end to the first half all but sealed Beaugium's semi-final place before Tellia attempted a comeback which they ran out of time to complete. Phil Phillipson and Steve Stevenson got the scoring off to a start, setting each other up for easy goals against Fabrizio Daniello after finding gaps in the Tellian defence. Phillipson nutmegged Daniello from six yards with the Zidado West United 'keeper closing-down and Stevenson sidefooted past him from slightly further out. Eddie Edwardson got Beaugium's third after cutting his run inside and curling low through the crowd and past Daniello's left-side dive.
Tellia got both of their goals in the last fifteen minutes as they eventually managed to break-down the strong Beaugian defence, although it was too-little-too-late as the equaliser never came. Piero Donetti pulled one back to give the Tellians a fleeting chance fourteen minutes from time, beating James Jameson with his first touch receiving Luca Riviera's pass and curling it past Fred Fredericksen from close-range. Vincenzo Motta headed his side's second with just over five minutes remaining. The aging winger met Riviera's long corner at the back post and squeezed it past Rob Robertson on the line. However, Tellia hadn't the time to create another meaningful chance and Beaugium played-out the game to seal their advancement.

Alexandria 3-1 Craitland
Stade de Loup, Ville d'Alain
Alexandria comfortably beat 2007 and 2008's winners Craitland to advance to their first World Cup final at the fourth time of asking.
After having to work extra hard in the quarter-final against Bobalania to advance to this stage, the Craitish players looked tired when compared to the Alexandrians playing on hame turf. Alexandria, as expected after dominating possession, took the lead halfway through the first half through yet another Florent Lassana-Traoré goal. The Club Imperiale striker getting his sixth of the competition, heading in unmarked right in the centre of the Craitish box from a Damián Sala corner. Craitland equalised on the counter-attack against the run of play ten minutes later, however. Lassana-Traoré met another Sala corner with his head but Jack Vorgensen was right behind it and cleared the ball quickly downfield to Manta Pellegrino. The Craitish captain beat Manuel Pagazo before laying the ball back to Yaqin Senovichi, who took it into the area before chipping it over Rémi Marin as the Joya City Jaguars 'keeper approached. Paul Óma-ó-Täó was ready and waiting in the area to finish-off the move into an empty net with a right-footed volley from six yards. Alexandria had every right to feel slightly hard done by when the half-time whistle blew.
Alexandria turned their possession into goals in the second half and ran-away convincing winners eventually after the initial Craitish scare. Twelve minutes after the break, "Les Bleus" forced themselves back into the lead with a persistant attack that was finished by a Khalid Mohamed first-time hit from near the penalty spot after receiving Sébastien Focán's lay-back. Not too long after, Mohamed again made it 3-1 and virtually game over. Focán it was who instigated the attack, spraying the ball out to the left wing where Samuel Jean controlled it and went past Jon Larsen before laying it off to Mohamed. The Baudrix Bears forward took two touches to turn Paulio Demhivo on the edge of the area and lashed the ball low past Jack Vorgensen's right-sided dive. The remaining twenty-five minutes saw Alexandria continue to dominate the Craits and could have extended their lead even further if it weren't for an excellent reflex save in the last ten minutes by Vorgensen from Lassana-Traoré's tight-angled shot.
A mixture of a lack of time and being outplayed by the hosts meant Craitland couldn't fashion any more chances and drop into the third-place play-off while Alexandria go on to the final, hoping that home advantage can help them just one more, extremely important, time.

Nova England 1-0 Beaugium
Stade Royale, Geneva
Nova England become the second World Cup final débutants this competition with a narrow victory over Beaugium in Geneva.
After twelve goals in four games, Beaugium came-up short in this semi-final and their drought was taken advantage of by Nova England but only after most of the game was deadlocked. Beaugium created the more chances in the cagey first half, with Steve Stevenson seeing his curling free-kick tipped just around the post by Paul Larkin and Ed Edwardson firing inches wide with a looping shot from his left side.
The second half was more open and both teams had the same amount of chances before the goal, with Stevenson going closest for Beaugium, his shot straight at Larkin, and Nova England having Ka'an Peterson's shot deflected wide off namesake Pete Peterson. The breakthrough came within the last ten minutes when Peterson had another shot put behind for a corner, this time by 'keeper Fred Frederickson, and captain Marcus Downs sent the resulting corner in. The cross was overhit slightly and came to Richard Jones on the left who swung in another cross, with his weaker foot, himself. Jones' ball in beat James Jameson and Callum Sorrel met it with a perfectly-placed sweet header from eight yards which Frederickson had no answer to. After the celebrations that followed, Beaugium had no time to rearrange themselves to muster a meaningful comeback and Nova England reached their first ever World Cup final.
Nova England advance to face the much-fancied Alexandria in the final, whereas Beaugium go into the third-place play-off against fellow Group D'ers Craitland.
