Some suprising results as the TML plunged into its third week.
Division 1 champions Pumas were losing to Panthers 2-4 but managed to make a comeback in the last 15 minutes of the game. Favorites to win division 3, Fussa FC, were on the verge of losing to Albion Old Boys 2-1 before scoring 2 goals. Fussa FC have three wins now, putting them in the clear top. Their next game will be against Clash FC, the other favorite to win division 3. The result of that match...
With the season finally kicking off, August 24/25 saw 9 TML games played. A plethora of goals scored across all fixtures with 3 people scoring hat tricks!
This week was YeBoiz FC's and YC&AC's debut games. Suns, being third place last season (some say purposely after they forfeited their final game), are favorites to win the league this season. YeBoiz FC played very well against what would be one of their toughest matches. However Suns were defensively well...
TML 17 started it's first batch of matches all in the late evening to avoid as much of the heat (thank you TML Operations Manager).
It seems like all the results for the weekend were "predictable". All the higher placed clubs from last season won. Fussa (freshly demoted from Division 2) beat Brunello FC. Jetro welcomed Eastern Capital to its first Division 2 game by giving them a 2-0 loss. The most evenly matched game was Dutch vs Guts, however Takuma Ueyama (who...
The champions of division 2 came down to the final fixture of the season. 18:30 at Shibuya Sports Center, a clash between the highest scoring team of division 2 (Sala FC) and the least conceded team (British Embassy FC). An exciting fixture that brought out TML fans to the stands (benches to be precise) despite being unassociated with either team.
Despite having the championship on the line, the match was far from defensive and stale. Sala stormed into a 2-0 lead...
This week, we have Shane FC winning the Robert Walters Team of the Week!
With the rain and wind beating down on the players, the YC&AC field refused to flood so as to not allow another rescheduling of games. The howling wind proved to be useful, drowning out the whining from the players. Before TML's very own camera man even arrived to the pitch, Shusuke Nakatani (Sala FC) added another goal to his resume. Even though he is the confirmed golden boot winner of...
This Saturday was newly appointed TML Managers first rainy weekend. While most of the pitches were deemend unplayable, the game at Komaba (with its excellent drainage) went on.
Eastern Capital FC played BFC Vagabonds in the pouring rain. Both teams needed a win to be able to get promoted. BFC Vagabonds Masaki Sakai took an early lead by scoring a rebound from a free kick. This was equalized by none other than ECFC leading goal scorer, James Worsnop ending the...
The much anticipated TML Cup and Plate Final finally took place on June 8th.
TML started with the Plate Final, Division 2 Suns SC vs Division 3 Nepal United.
Both teams showing success in their respective divisions, it was bound to be a competitive game. At the current pace, Nepal have finished first in their division and Suns are tied for first in the second division.
Suns SC scored within the first 5 minutes of the game, almost as if to show...
This weeks Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Albion Old Boys off their win over Easter Capital FC.
The first half started seemingly even. Newly signed Shun Tamiki scores the opening goal of the match for Albion Old Boys but is quickly equalized by Easter Capitals goal scoring Machine, James Worsnop. As both teams become increasingly heated, committing fouls to try and gain advantages, the game reached a stalemate. Neither team was letting the other pull...
