WXV Round 12: Saints to stand up to Rampaging Revolution?

[ossie85]

Foife currently with 21% efficiency.... Upset brewing?

[ossie85]

Now 16%

[Purple 77]

Fyfe eventually had to go below 100 ;)

I've got the win. More concerned about being eliminated from World Idol tho.

[Purple 77]

My worst score of the year coming up... really good timing to do it against Buenos Aires. But, pre-scaling, London are just 3 points ahead of me, so its between us for elimination in world idol  :-\

Come on and scale Fyfe generously please CD  :-X

If there's anybody who could get scaled up for 33% DE, it'd be Fyfe ;)

[Purple 77]

Yup, eliminated by 1 point.

FFFFAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

[Boomz]

I think Moscow can thank Courtney Dempsey for his 4-quarter performance today for Tokyo.

All 2 of his points  :-\

Never. Ever. Again.

[Holz]

Yup, eliminated by 1 point.

FFFFAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Karma for continuing to pick on Dublin

Tired Brewers Grind Win Over Armadillos

Got the result, so can't be too upset I guess. Just goes to show that Fyfe is a key plank to my competitiveness with the big boys. Lowest score of the year will see me eliminated from World Idol too. Buenos Aires should be encouraged by the consistent form of Graham, while the injured Brayshaw hurt.

Suns Dimly Light up Cairo

Similar to the previous game, the Suns churned out a performance they would rather not display, but hey, they got the result. The Sands played two OOP midfielders today, surely something that hasn't happened before. I guess the brightside to this is that the midfield is the easiest position to fix in the off-season, so hopefully improvement will come easier.

Dublin deny Ablett's Dream Return

Yeah yeah whatever, Dublin goes big (average for them) again. Rio continue to have their season marked with inconsistency, but Ablett is back, and that is the main thing. They'll be confident of causing trouble for their opponents for the rest of the year.

Moscow Overwhelm Fighting Samurai

They started well; Tokyo. I'd say they were in it at 3QT, but couldn't keep going, no thanks to Dempsey's non-sub affected 2 points. Moscow continue to show their wares, and keep re-affirming that they'll go deep into finals.

Tigers Seasons Best; Cobras still Conquer

Well done NDT! It's a shame they lost, and a further shame that they would have beaten 11 teams this week. But hey, this team can play! Cairo would have been sweating on this result, and the Cobras too. But they got the result, and in impressive fashion too! The Pirates had a solid showing too, which just goes to show the Cobras are in good shape.

Saints Wrath disbands Revolution

Christchurch posted a personal best, in the process casting aside some doubts over its competitiveness over the big boys. The Revolution continue to score well despite key players injured and doing Coke, so no respect was lost here.
