But back to my main point. Soccer is like chess. You want to win, by taking away the opponents king, much like a clean sheet. You score by downing your enemies and taking the upper hand. Now if this analogy is not working for you why don't i talk about some actual soccer.
Anywho some news has recently come to light. Firstly Real Chinchinhua has sprung money for Inevitable midfielder Peter Howard, who replaces a former midfielder who has since retired. Elsewhere Real Atlantea made a acquisition for the future. At the end of this season they will pick up Farfadillian Joan Raguzzelli, a Goalkeeper to replace an assumed to be outgoing Tommy Torje. Other transfer rumors for the upcoming season are sure to come to light in the coming weeks.
And now for some actual football. Rounds four and five of the Fadron Pizza Cup.
Fourth Round
And now for the lower divisions halfway standings.
But now the important stuff the next 12 weeks of football in the Taeshan Premier League.
Which puts the standings as such.

At the bottom the two recent promoted teams look to head back from whence they came after a pour first half. Looking at relegation spots right now are Taeshan City and Yaton, Laketown and 1093 just outside of the bottom four. 1093 funnily enough leads the Atlantean series with 2 wins, to Real's 1 and Hurricanes 0. The best Atlantean team, is not doing the best in the leauge. Above them is Real Chinchinhua whose new player has not meant much yet. Mierton and the Huricanes look poised to at least finish in the top 2/3rds. The bottom half is rounded out by a turned around Moresville team after a bad start, a Los Riosa team falling like a rock, though still well above their last season and a Wiechester punching well above their current weight. Just outside the top ten sit Fadron who are about where they should be, and former champions Tintown. Above that the top 10 are all fighting for the title. Mt Ceabring and X Island look to have great runs given recent results and their fans are sure to be happy. Ojian, Real Atlantea and Blacklake sit ready to punch in their slots to international play if anyone falters. In fifth sit a surprisingly low Bayern Phoenix who fit well below what beginning of the year signee Gwyn Juniper would have thought. The still shocking Sleepy Hollow sit fourth and quite possibly might be the biggest darlings of this season. Laketown has fallen from first to third in the second quarter but is just as in it as anyone else. Right now Bayern-Algaer sit top, but that is misleading with a lot of big second half games away. And in second is the real favorite New Capetown. Hopefully the second half will be as exciting as the first.
