Rock Hard Championship Challenge Cup -- Small Rocks and Very Small Rocks Fight It Out

[United Forever]

Anyone want to go through and do the provisional scores?

I've got a sneaky feeling 1800-France.com will meet with Kopite Juniors.

The Class Acts could be entertaining FC Springfield

Aviators (walkover) maybe get a slightly stiffer test against Nocturnal United

AS St-Lambert to face WinningConnection

NO! The Class Acts WILL be entertaining FC Springfield. Woo hooo!! Ronaldo is going to tear them apart just like last time out :p

(The inactive RamRod FC got off to a lucky start but AS St-Lambert eventually secured the tie by 38 points).

I want to hear from Hal and the Aviators who had me down NOT to win this tie and go through to the quarts. Ironically it was the same LSG 3 that knocked me out the quarts of the UEFA Cup. :eek:

[1800-WorldCup]

There have been some Premier League changes (as almost always).

They don't affect the outcome of these ties though.

1800-France.com 56 -- up to 59
WinningConnection 50 -- down to 44 (loses silver medal)
Nocturnal United 48 (promoted to silver)
Ajax Reserves 45 (promoted to bronze)
Kopite Juniors 44
AS Saint-Lambert 40 -- down to 34

Congrats on your win! Albiet with the lowest winning aggregate score (127) of all the quarterfinalists.

Sorry, Brian,

United Forever still gets no respect when playing with the big boys.

You had a huge advantage with players playing two games the first week of the 3 match series with LSG 3 and still only managed to win by 13.

Ha Hal it was LSG 3 that had most of his players playing twice. I had TWO players and one was ON THE BENCH which was Zielger. So with his players still playing twice he was not able to beat me :) Game on man!!

Yeah, I really feel for Ajax.

Such a magnificent head-to-head and plenty of transfer dealing to make a real match of the three game series.

Anyone up for the pre-match analysis based on the line-ups?

[1800-WorldCup]

With less than four minutes played, Hermann Hreidarsson (Charlton) gets on the scoresheet..... for Man. City.

Bad news for Aviators.

[1800-WorldCup]

Shaun Bartlett equalises (assist Jerome Thomas)..... good news for FC Springfield.

[United Forever]

Oh crap. They have scored!!!! And Diop gets put in red this morning/last night. Oh cheese what a bad start.

[United Forever]

More agony for Class Acts. Keane does what?! He hits the damn post.

[United Forever]

The score is now 19-7 as that *********** called Ljunberg scores for the scum that is FC Springfield.

[1800-WorldCup]

Aviators strike back with a brace from stalwart captain, Henry..... and it's not over yet!
