Season 29 Week 15 processing...

Welcome to week 15 the reset is finished and data entry is underway. Seems a few of you are on holiday this week and left me in charge so I'll try not to mess things up for you.

We have the Semi-Finals of the World Cup, World Youth Cup and the Gold Cup to look forward to this week.

World Cup Semi-Finals
England vs Brazil
Italy vs Germany

World Youth Cup
England vs Spain
Russia vs Germany

Gold Cup
USA vs Eire
Nigeria vs Greece

all games played on neutral grounds.

Really tough game for Brazil this week, but then you wouldn't expect anything less in the World Cup semi finals.  After playing a few friendlies against England they are always high scoring exciting encounters which England generally come out the better of, so I'm not overly confident but you never know!!

Charlton simply face a make or break day tomorrow, Man City at home, if they want to hang onto any slim chance of the title then 3 points is a must.  Anything else and the challenge is over for another year.....

Data entry is complete and the friendly games have kicked off...League games will kickoff at 1000 hours Wednesday morning...

Two very touch matches for myself in this years International Competitions! 
ENG vs BRA, very hard to call being a neutral ground. With the Brazilian national flooded with world class players in all positions, good thing Tom can only name 11!
ENG vs SPA, maybe a weaker generation to previous without being disrespectful to the opponents but England youth look very promising with TAA, Foden, Rashford and Maddison. Hopefully the manager can get them working together.

As for the League, well here's hoping i get the first of my 3 consecutive away games off to a flyer, as looking at the run in for both City and Watford, City have the advantage having not played as many of there games at home! however we are destined to play each other 2 more times before the league finishes....
