The Jecken Squidroidian Super League and Inklingcraft Challenge League
Matchday 28 - The Final Day
Broadcast MusicHello to all Squidroidians and those watching around the world. My name is Takanaki Osa and welcome to today's final day coverage of the Jecken Squidroidian Super League and Inklingcraft Squidroidian Challenge League. Joining with me is 3sport's very own Rose Golden. Rose, how are you doing?
Oh I'm doing very good Osa. Robbie would be here if IFC actually won the title by now but considering that it is the final day, he doesn't want to be mad on national television.And I understand that. Mind if I get into the 8 matches that are kicking off at the same time?
Go for it, it's your show. And I'm just a guest.The title race between Inkopolis FC and the Squidroidia Squidbreak has gone down to the wire. The Squidbreak were as many as 8 points ahead of their fierce rivals at the halfway point but they have slipped up in this second half of the season. Now they have to go to an already IFCF qualified Sawayama team who have one of the hottest international players in the league right now - Yuezhou's 21 year old Liu Huiying. A draw that get them the Super League title unless the Nepharan duo of Rampart and Kalyvas can shuffle 13 goals past Tyranny Sports Club, who are fighting to stay up.
Speaking of Sawayama, the battle between them and Real Squidroid for Squidroidia's entry to the FFI Taça das Confederações is one to watch out for today. Real do also play a part in the relegation battle as well, as a win against Midnight Soccer Club can send them down to the second tier much to the joy of their rivals in Starlight Boulevard who sit level on points but ahead on goal difference, who have to play the Wanderers in Calamari County. Only 3 points separate the bottom 3 teams in the relegation pack, and a win for any of these teams can help them get out of the trapdoor before it's too late. ESPECIALLY if you're Midnight, who need Starlight to screw up against Calamari Wanderers knowing that you need to win against Real.
Going down to the Challenge League, the fight for the final Promotion/Relegation Group spot heads down to the final day, with 3 clubs able to clinch a Liga B berth and the chance to go up alongside OVFC. Club Factoria invite the 4th place Spartansburg City to town in a must win rivalry game for the new outfit, while Squidroidian Cup finalists Weedpot FC and Northport Meadows fight against each other to try to take Spartansburg's spot. The B teams also wrap up their seasons today, IFC B playing TryHard Sporting and Squidbreak B giving OVFC the guard of honor.
I think that's it, kickoff should be upon us, so the season has to end with a bang, right Osa?It is certainly right Rose! And
the balls are kicked, the final day is underway in Squidroidia!'1 - Not a lot of action up and down the fields, as is expected in the first minute. Squidbreak tried to get a shot in on goal but missed terribly.
'5 -
GOAL FOR NORTHPORT! The new boys take the lead against Weedpot, too high to comprehend that they have a chance at Super League promotion here! They're just focused on the cup final while Meadows have leapfrogged Spartansburg City!
'8 - It looks like our first Super League goal of the day is coming...
GOAL FOR TYRANNY! No, no, no! Inkopolis FC are having a scare at home against a team in the scrap for relegation. This puts extreme pressure on the Inklings, the title could fall down the trash heap and down to the Squidbreak, extending their lead to 4 points!
'12 -
GOAL FOR SPARTANSBURG CITY! Oh what a cracker from the Ironheads attack! This promotion group battle is getting intense here, they leapfrog Northport for that final Liga B spot!
It seems that the Challenge League is putting out quality today. Shame for the Super League, we all know who's winning there.'13 - You are absolutely right Rose Golden. Rampart missed a crucial shot for the Inklings, just inches wide. Goal kick for Tyranny here. Squidbreak also on the ball, cross comes over...
'14 -
GOAL FOR SQUIDBREAK! GOAL FOR SQUIDBREAK! They extend their lead at the top to 6 points! It looks like it's over at the top 2, we have to look at the group battle unless IFC and Tractor Club respond...
'20 - Ooof, high and wide from Liu! The Yuezhou international is being quite spotty here, she doesn't seem like the Liu we all know banging in those goals.
Just like the ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM.Language, Rose! I don't want foul mouths in this broadcast.
'26 -
GOAL FOR FACTORIA! The cog is working overtime against their hated rivals, it's 1-1 at Mill Park! Spartansburg still hold on on goals scored compared to Northport...
'37 - Not a lot happening up and down the table, but we have a penalty for Real Squidroid! Jan McCory comes down, the Audioslavian seems hurt but it doesn't look too major, Katsuyoshi steps up for the kick...
AND SLOTS IT! Real take the lead and unless something happens on Tractor Club's end the black, pink and green going to the Taca!
'45 -
It's Halftime! What a start to the final day, Rose, what do you think about it?
Interesting start to say the least. This is Squidbreak's day, going 1-0 up against Tractor Club, your hated rivals losing to a relegation candidate, this is an amazing day for the SAF. I hope the momentum continues for them.Seeemingly about the Super League, huh. And what about the Challenge League?
Let's face it, Spartansburg are going up if they win against their rivals. That's all they need to do to secure Liga B next season. Other than that, Northport is scaring the bejesus out of Weedpot, they're going to win this easily. It's basically going to come down to how Factoria/Spartansburg goes.Interesting insights, Rose.

'46 -
And we are back for the second half of this exciting title race!'47 - Annnd
GOAL FOR IFC B! Not the goal everyone expected, everyone expected IFC A to tie it up against Tyranny, but a goal against THS doesn't happen too often for a club.
'52 - Another miss for Tractor Club! This time it's Shiko, and this time it was saved by the Squidbreak keeper! Humiliation abound for the Tractor Club fateful...
'57 -
GOAL! WANDERERS! ERIK FRY! The Ethane attacking mid scores against Starlight, and their gap versus their hated rivals shrinks to that of goals! Erik Fry contributed with 11 goals this season, and this is his 12th. Great job from the new signing.
'58 -
AND WE HAVE ANOTHER GOAL, AND IT'S THE CHALLENGE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS! Octo Valley knock the ball into the back of the net via a corner, they go up against Squidbreak B. Nothing that doesn't matter for Squidbreak fans, they just want to hold on against Tractor Club!
'62 - We have some subs coming on for Squidbreak - Tractor Club and IFC - Tyranny, but that's not what we're interested in,
CLUB FACTORIA GO UP! With that Northport occupy the final spot,
AND THEY SCORE AGAINST WEEDPOT AGAIN! 2-1 for Factoria and 2-0 for Northport! Spartansburg is crumbling today!
'71 - Kalyvas, finds Nariaki, and he sees Rampart, RAMPART,
RAMPART!!!!!!!!! WYOMA RAMPART, SHE GIVES INKOPOLIS FC HOPE IN THE SEVENTY-FIRST MINUTE! THEY TIE IT AGAINST TYRANNY!
COME ON! NEPHARA DOES THE BUSINESS AGAIN!'75 -
GOAL AGAIN FOR FACTORIA! It looks all over for Spartansburg now. They need a miracle to have a shot at Liga B.
'78 - And Tractor Club misses AGAIN! More woes for the Sawayama outfit, it looks like the title may be in the books unless they do something...
'89 -
LATE GOAL FOR NORTHPORT! And it looks like the final spot for the Pro/Rel group is sealed! Northport are going to Liga B next season!
'90+1 - 2 of the most important stoppage times up ahead - 3 minutes for IFC to take the lead, 5 for Tractor Club to do something against the Squidbreak and let their title go to the capital.
90+2 - Jo Jun with the ball... Crosses over from midfield, RAMPART AGAIN... Oh dear. What a shambolic miss from the Nepharan. It's all over for Inkopolis FC...
90+4 - Full time from Inkopolis,
the Squidbreak have won the Jecken Squidroidian Super League! But the trophy celebrations can't come yet, Tractor Club have seemed to given up but there is still football to be played!
90+6 - And it's full time from Sawayama, Liu Huiying can't do anything to turn the tide, Real are Taca bound!
What. A. Final. Day. I'm worried about Robbie, he isn't taking that miss well tonight.Thoughts and prayers are for him, but we have to say goodbye. The Squidroidia Squidbreak are your champions, and they're taking the Shield to Takanori Army Base!
