An interesting phenomenon unfolded during the gigantic 12 hour booking of Shigaku. A few TML teams contacted the Footy Japan Headquarters saying they don't have enough players for the Shigaku weekend. Professor Ochiai explains that "with 12 TML games played on the Shigaku booking day, it means 24 teams have to put out a unique team with no overlapping players (unless those players are willing to play two TML games the same day). Thus with so many games on the same day, it makes many players unavailable to play for their second or third team.
Some interesting stats unfolded this weekend.
Hibernian FC, TML’s most succesfull club, have joined the fray. They had a tough game against British Embassy that went down to the wire but Tomoitsu Kunii of Hibs made the difference between the two.
King George also got their first win of the season. They unfortunantely will not be winning their next game due to former TML manager, James Bates, joining them for the next match.
Pumas have scored over 5 or more goals per game giving them a double digit goal difference (12) in just three games.
An exciting TML weekend once again. Nepal United scored on their first possesion with ten men against King George. Both of Shane FC's goals came from the leagues biggest divers. And FC Sagarmatha won their bottom of the league derby against Fussa FC.
A boring FA Cup Final, a lovely Royal Wedding and 2 new Cup holders. What a Saturdays it was.
We broke from tradition this year as it was the Cup Final that kicked off first. Pumas were looking to go one better than last season by winning the Cup. BEFC were looking at giving their manager Ben the perfect send off before he hangs up his armband.
It was all change for the Summer edition of our Soccer 7s. A new location, different sized goals and the 3 goal bonus point scrapped from the rules page.
