The Ritenour League Pyramid looks like this:
Premier League: 16 Teams
Ritenour Secondary: 16 Teams
Ritenour Tertiary: 16 Teams
Ritenour National Leagues: North and South have 16 Teams
Ritenour Township Leagues: All four Township divisions have 20 teams

Ritenour Premier League Preview

Bristol
Nickname: Lightning
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John & St. John United)
Formation: 3-3-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Martin Callway, Ronald Hunter, Alouis Arnold
MID- Horace Alcanayes, Henry Altou-Amawon, Terry Jackson
AM- Gregory Imabata, Tyler Ormachel
FWD- Richard Larac, Martin Hoccol
GK- Garret Macclesfield
Manager: Theodore Almocovite
Rivals: Tudor, St. John
Summary: In the first season of the top tier Bristol look like a very strong contender for the title. Their defense is quite good with Callaway and Arnold combining to become a wall supported by the rough center defender Ronald Hunter.Their midfielders are also a rough group to go against, with Terry Jackson being a passing machine and a defensive fort. Their Attackers are not bad either, but it seems that Bristol are the type of team to score one goal and shut their opponents down on the other side. It is not a stylish brand of football, but it gets the job done.
Predicted Placement: 3rd

Tudor
Nickname: Raptors
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Ritenour South)
Formation: 4-2-4
Roster:
DEF- Carry Lagano, Bryce Pierce, Jordan Campago, Kris Hellenfield
MID- Mark Harrasher, Henry Glass
RW- Dexter Marrow,
LW- Trent Herenti
FWD- Yourish Glannao, Tyler Worthington
GK- Ulrich Garamido
Manager: Tydonnus Lennenkov
Rivals: Bristol
Summary: The Raptors come in to the season with a powerful offensive front which would give defenses nightmares, the problem lies in the inexperienced midfielders and one half of the defense, Lagano and Pierce are in their rookie seasons while Harrasher and Glass are in their second season on a team. If a team cracks the defense it will be a tough day for these lot. Tudor looks like a likely mid-table team which may surprise people if their defense gells together.
Predicted Placement: 7th

Ritenour North
Nickname: The Flash
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour South and Tudor)
Formation: 4-2-2-2
Roster:
DEF-Frederigo Hallance, Rick Marat, Drake Hortien, Jerod Kerodian
MID- Louis Lawson, Matt Horschager
W- Dion Zerrado, John Tollben
FWD- Andrew Helas, Norten Chase
GK- Alais Edroux
Manager: Grant Louick
Rivals: Ritenour South
Summary: Ritenour North is a weird team. Their defense is alright and their offense is alright as well. The team has a balance in terms of skill at each end but it's just "Alright". Hallance leads a defensive group missing a spark while Andrew Helas leads a progressively improving offensive group. Manager Grant Louick expects the season to be just about improving, not about chasing titles.
Predicted Placement: 10th

Ritenour South
Nickname: Huskies
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Tudor)
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Marcus Halberg, Kraig Honta, Leon Progenno
MID- Raymond Haus, John Glantow, Remorno Paciatto
FWD- Theodore Jagoun, Richard Kaldin, Ronald Harthon, Brandon Fionta
GK- Norman Fretterborne
Manager: Taigretti Talon
Rivals: Ritenour North
Summary: The Huskies are in a very good place, their team is a very balanced and well coordinated team. The only weakness this team has right now is the unstable condition of the club as it has a new manager who, to be fair, is talented but not experienced. Halberg and Honta both have high hopes for the team and if they fall anything short of at least a UICA spot then they would be disappointed. With an offense that has the ability to score at will and a defense that can play with the best in the league, they have a real good chance at the title.
Predicted Placement: 2nd

St. Ann
Nickname: Saints
Location: St. Ann, Metropolitana
Venue: Pattonville Sports Complex
Formation: 2-2-4-2
Roster:
DEF- Ceran Hostlan, William Bragga
Middle DEF- George Correa, Martin O'Donnel
AM- Pacha Avane, Daniel Afforea, Holden Markean, Triun Oramander
FWD- Friponna Oramander, Jackson Porysus
GK- Kevin Kane
Manager: Thrano Heiklapanos
Rivals: Hazlewood
Summary: This is going to be a nightmare season for the Saints. Where teams are capable St. Ann is not. Their defense is poor and can not handle the pressure of other more competent teams. Their offense is just not strong enough to score against other teams. Their manager is feeling the heat to guide them out of relegation. It feels like St. Ann fans are in for a relegation fight, and one that they might lose.
Predicted Placement: 15th, Relegated

St. John
Nickname: Stars
Location: St John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John United and Bristol)
Formation: 3-3-3-1
Roster:
DEF- Bray Harandis, Tyler Colm, Florence Tarradis
MID- Giovanni Marco, Herman Colman-Ango, Reese Davidson
FWD- Dean Cartweiler, Art Mandell, Oranimus Melena
Leading FWD- Ryan Frost
GK- Horatio Hillman
Manager: Ron Johnston
Rivals: Bristol, St. John United
Summary: Put this team's name on the trophy. St. John are a very experienced club who have been a fearsome force for some time. Now obviously this team has a weakness to exploit, but no one has discovered it yet. The seemingly invincible front with a physical defense at the back and a midfield with athletic prowess. Ron Johnston leads the best team in the league with his firm and decisive actions and he encapsulates the team with one phrase: "We win because we are a family"
Predicted Placement: 1st, Champions

St. John United
Nickname: Dolphins
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John and Bristol)
Formation: 3-4-3
Roster:
DEF- Henry Gorano, Phillip Cayes, Mark Intillham
MID- Jorge Cortina, Eric Larasta, Brenden Hellentruth, Issac Gornum
FWD- Victor Cavalondo, Derrick Wisstlan, Fynten Llonwan
GK- Craig Jupiter
Manager: Reginald Bellworth
Rivals: St. John
Summary: The Dolphins are in for a mid-table season. They have a decent front lead by Fynten Llonwan and their defense is a developing but very competent group led by veteran player Mark Intillham. Their Manager maintains that they do have a chance at the title, but the team would need to maintain a superb form that can surpass really strong clubs. In the end, they will just finish at the middle of the table
Predicted Placement: 8th

Marvin
Nickname(s): Stars, Royals
Location: Northern St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: Marvin Athletic Fields
Formation: 2-3-2-3
Roster:
DEF- Bill Henneway, Korostany Lkhavin
MID- Rorick Cliff, Jack Goldman, Louis Rostanhar
RW- Aman Gussam,
LW- Lendrick Carman
FWD- John Corstan, Ryan Woqan, Fiarino Torstalvan
Manager: Derrick Hostam
Rivals: Buder, Kratz
Summary: The Royals are definetly a UICA-calibre team, a strong midfield with Rorick Cliff and Louis Rostanhar make sure of it. Their defenders look strong as well. The obvious problem is scoring, as their offense is still trying to gell together but manager Derrick Hostam says "They'll be ready to take the pitch by storm opening day". They should get the last UICA spot, but it should not come easy.
Predicted Placement: 4th

Overland
Nickname: Ducks
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Baltimore Avenue Field
Formation: 4-4-2
Roster:
DEF- Theo Markalu, Rennix Dragan, Olson Twine, Kleben Markovonich
MID- Grant Hughes, Leonardo Flantrow, Brett Holmes, Gregory Wisthem
FWD- Rhen Yunao, Giafreno Hallander
GK- LaDell Jerabe
Manager: Franklin Tierna
Rivals: Hazlewood, Hoech
Summary: Franklin Tierna put this team in perfect prespective: "We need to develop our identity more". While Overland themselves are not a bad squad, they just seem to be lost in what style they want to be. Obviously the formation screams "Defense" but the midfielders are usually called upon to make a more offensive push. It's a weird style and really, they should not be going anywhere anytime soon.
Predicted Placement: 12th

Herbert Hoover
Nickname: Eagles
Location: Midtown, Inner City
Venue: Chain of Rocks Field
Formation: 2-3-5
Roster:
DEF- Loro Foster, Himman Ball
MID- Carry Van Lojon, Rodney Morlov, Quinn Horton
FWD- Rock Hellan, Viman Nigel, Flint Hardtack, William Olson, Henry Fontaine
Manager: Riley Oranjen
Rivals: Riverview
Summary: The Eagles have been a good side for some time now, veteran leadership from Nigel has formed the team into a cohesive unit who can challenge for a UICA spot. They are a fast paced attacking side with an ok defense. The problem comes from the counter-attack as the Eagles may overextend their attack and leave themselves open.
Predicted Placement: 5th

Kratz
Nickname: Crusaders
Location: Easton, Maryland Heights
Venue: Maryland Heights Sports Complex
Formation: 3-3-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Dorrick O'Halloran, Brain Caluhan, Minneo Meteo
MID- George Maclenhenny, Boris Rustyvov, Leo Giapono
AM- Dock Hansen, Morris Tyler-Hanes
FWD- Blane Watson, Jorrick Ranceda
GK- Ray Clovis
Manager: Matthew Harbangier
Rivals: Marvin, Buder
Summary: One of four teams you can truly say that are "bad". They have enough to keep them at the top flight but really, the roster is not a quality side in the league. This year is one of rebuilding for the Crusaders and hopefully, one filled with improvement. Matthew Harbanfier is not to worried about his chances, he does have a good scorer in Blane Watson after all.
Predicted Placement: 13th

Buder
Nickname: Bulldogs
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Buder Recreational Park
Formation: 4-2-4
Roster:
DEF- Unman Ustagia, Dorlan Reed, Morton Hontha, Carragan Carthage
MID- Michael Ross, Trio Mencutalo
FWD- Baradion Lancu, Jack Crevis, Mondo Osan, Astalon Remendo
GK- Cory Regis
Manager: Dawson Lacunhan
Rivals: Kratz, Marvin
Summary: Oi, this looks like the most dire season for Buder. The team is inexperienced and shoddy in leadership, the manager has been a mess beforehand trying to get other players to replace or support his starters, the whole club is a mess this season. There is no hope for them to make it out of relegation
Predicted Placement: 16th, Relegation

O'Fallon
Nickname: Bears
Location: O'fallon, South River District
Venue: O'fallon Park
Formation: 3-2-2-1-2
Roster:
DEF- Mark Lyr, Frank Haus, Drake Halycian
DM- Glynt Hwal, Auternham Leonidas
MID- Kevin Graham, Oran Dunn
AM- Elias Fullham
FWD- Ryillan Carran, Oran Al-Afed
GK- Ryan Dunn
Manager: Jack Yuti
Rivals: Hazlewood
Summary: The Bears are a very tight squad. They have a solid attack and a slowly developing but competent defense, midfield is supportive and very
Likeminded in their goals. This is a good unit going to make a run for a UICA spot. Unfortunately, there are just too many teams above O'fallon for them to make a good run at it. They should place fairly well though
Predicted Placement: 6th

Riverview
Nickname: Rams
Location: Riverview, North River
Venue: Riverfront Park
Formation: 3-4-3
Roster:
DEF- Robert Mantau, Deeney Halpfores, Grant Haunew
MID- Plaiodonis Renando, Greg Hallon, Tyler Watts, Marvinio Kelpfer, Lonwick Heimfal
FWD- Eridan North, Riley Cherneim, Carson Parr
GK- Riano Abria
Manager: Erik Kimzey (ETHANE)
Rivals: Herbert Hoover
Summary: The rams are not as bad of a mess as Herbert Hoover, but they are still in danger of droping important games and ending up in relegation. The side is not cohesive enough to win quite yet. Kiran Styles is a new manager for the side and is still trying to work out the kinks in their play. Obviously a losing side, but not a relegation side if you ask anybody.
Predicted Placement: 14th

Hazlewood
Nickname: Panthers
Location: Hazlewood, North Metropolitana
Venue: Hazlewood Fields
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Ronald Palmafua, Willford Handquork, Carl Masten
MID- Bayano Lesstaves, Orlen Ackhanbo, Jurrick Gernaldo
FWD- Bryan Hopewell, Frank Hopewell, Tendrian Allerton, Colton Meyers
Manager: Dentan Haus
Rivals: Overland, St. Ann, O'Fallon
Summary: A relatively mediocre side boasting a creative offense, unfortunately their Midfield and Defense need some fine tuning before they are ready for a run. When asked if he thinks the team will be successful this season Bryan Hopewell said: "Look, a successful season right now is a mid-table finish". Leading some to believe that there is a lack of confidence on the team.
Predicted Placement: 11th

Hoech
Nickname: Wolves
Location: West Overland, Suburba
Venue: Dorshalter Hoech Field
Formation: 4-3-3
Roster:
DEF- Pata Forlan, Aricio Dengrad, Maurice Keppler, Johnathan Hattuo
MID- Yidan Adlen, Patrick Corin, Yalldo Alekeih
FWD- Morton Hilder, Drinio Amber, Orton Anderson
Manager: Norlen Tartar
Rivals: Overland
Summary: The wolves can be a potent team if they want to be, but recent performances have shown that they can beat the best but lose to the worst as well, it just seems all too clear that the lack of consistency ESPECIALLY in the midfield will bite them and cost them so many points. So for now they are just a mid-table team in everyone's view.
Predicted Placement: 9th

[Ritenour]

MATCHDAY 1
Bristol 2-0 Hoech
Tudor 2-3 Hazlewood
Ritenour North 0-0 Riverview
Ritenour South 7-3 O'Fallon
St. Ann 2-1 Buder
St. John 1-1 Kratz
St. John United 1-3 Herbert Hoover
Marvin 1-1 Overland

Well, this is quite the start.
Let's start with the glaring match up: Ritenour South completely dominated O'fallon in a game where both Kaldin and Harthon combined for six goals at the half. O'fallon struggled with possession and defense for the majority of the game while the Huskies were passing very well.
Bristol took a 2-0 win against Hoech with Hoccol scoring both of them. A surprisingly on point offense considering the type of team they are.
Hazlewood win a shootout against Tudor in Ritenour Field with the Hopewell brothers and Meyers scoring to put the Panthers up 3-1 after 80 minutes. Tyler Worthington scored one goal for the raptors while Trent Herenti scored the late goal to add drama to a particularly drab game.
Ritenour North and Riverview fight to a 0-0 tie with unbelievable misses on both sides. St. Ann take a close game against Buder with a late goal from Daniel Afforea. Goals from Oramander and Osan made the game go to the last minute. St. John and Kratz played to a very surprising tie. Many were predicting St. John to mop the floor with the Crusaders but at halftime it was still 0-0; Kratz's Blane Watson scored in the 79th minute and many were on the edge of their seat when the Stars' Ryan Frost put in the equalizer at the 89th minute. St. John's Field exploded with cheers and joy at the sight of the tie. After that was the really disappointing performance of St. John United, scoring only at the 86th minute while the Eagles of Herbert Hoover enjoyed feasting on their defense. Henry Fontaine, Viman Nigel, and William Olson combine to score 3 and silence the St. John United fans. Victor Cavalondo Scored the consolation goal for SJU. Finally, another surprising draw from the Marvin-Overland game. Quite disappointing for the royals seeing as no one saw Overland as a particular threat. Aman Gussam scored the first goal at the 35th minute but the Ducks responded right back at the 38th with a goal from Brett Holmes. The game slowed down after and the tie left Royals fans in disbelief.

MATCHDAY 2
Hazlewood 0-0 Bristol
Riverview 0-1 Hoech
O'Fallon 2-1 Tudor
Buder 0-2 Ritenour North
Kratz 0-2 Ritenour South
Herbert Hoover 2-0 St. Ann
Overland 0-1 St. John
Marvin 1-1 St. John United

After a maddening Matchday 1, Matchday 2 was pretty normal except for one game.
Bristol and Hazlewood tie in what many would say was a surprisingly awful game for the Lightning's offense. Bristol made Hazelwood's defense look like a force field that would never let them go near the goal. Hazlewood could not capitalize on their defense's stellar performance but a draw still gives them a point. Hoech beat Riverview in everyone's favorite result: a 1-0. Drinio Amber scored the game's only goal in the 41st minute, when Patrick Corin passed a wonderful through ball to Amber with no one between Amber and the Goalkeeper. Otherwise, nothing much else happened in terms of chances. O'Fallon return to playing good football as it fought tooth and nail against Tudor. Scoring two hard fought goals in the 35th minute and the 50th minute. Both goals came from Oran Al-Afed (who scored two goals versus Ritenour South). While Tudor's consolation goal came from Trent Herenti. Ritenour North took an expected 3 points from Buder, they played the possession game quite well and kept Buder from sustaining an attack. The two goals came from John Tollden and Ander Helas. Ritenour South beat Kratz in the expected result. Ritenour South's offense looks really good with Ronald Harthon scoring 5 goals in just two games and Richard Kaldin scoring 3. Herbert Hoover take three points at home against St. Ann with Nigel and Hardtack both scoring in the second half to crush the hopes of a win for Saints fans. St. John win in very well played game from both sides. St. John broke through early though scoring in the 10th minute when Art Mandell kicked a beautiful cross to Dean Cartweiler who then headed the ball for the goal. After that goal both teams shut each others' offense down and St. John come away with 3 points.

MATCHDAY 3
Bristol 1-0 Riverview
Hazlewood 1-2 O'Fallon [DERBY]
Hoech 2-1 Buder [DERBY]
Tudor 2-2 Kratz
Ritenour North 0-1 Herbert Hoover
Ritenour South 4-2 Overland
St. Ann 2-1 Marvin
St. John 5-1 St. John United [DERBY]

Three derbies occuring this Matchday, each one with a little something special for the fans. First however is the always-expected 1-0 result coming from the Bristol-Riverview game. Bristol's style was in full force today. Rough defense with a stone wall of challenges and the offense which looks like it goes for the opportunistic approach when shooting. Martin Hoccol scored the one and only goal for the Lightning during a free kick in the 60th minute. The "War of Two Brothers" derby saw amazing action in the second half. Hazlewood were leading after the half 1-0 after a superb goal from Frank Hopewell off of a cross. Then O'Fallon's attack went into overdrive: Shot after shot after shot until they scored two goals off the foot of Oran Al-Afed in the 75th and the 84 minute silencing every Panther fan in the stands. After that game was part of the "Trio of Betrayers" derby between Hoech and Buder. Hoech scored two goals in the first half off of fantastic shots from Hilder and Amber. In the second half however Buder tried it's damndest to score two back put could only pull one back in the 88th minute when Baradion Lancu bicycle kicked the ball into the net. Tudor and Kratz both play to a 2-2 draw which had raptors fans screaming at the top of their lungs. It was 2-2 in the 86th minute when Yourish Glannao was pushed down by Minneo Meteo, obviously Glannao should get the penalty right? NOPE, instead Meteo clears the ball and Tudor's attack was stopped. Yourish Glannao scored two goals for the Raptors while the Crusaders had goals from both Watson and Hanes.
Then came the ordinary result in the form of the Ritenour North-Herbert Hoover game. The goal was scored in the 43rd minute by Flinty Hardtack, the surprising thing about this team however is how good their defense is, it only has allowed one goal in 3 matches this season. Ritenour South continue their impressive offensive form in a 4-2 shootout versus Overland with another Hat trick by Harthon and one goal from Kaldin just to make sure. Overland's goals came from both Yunao and Hallander. Marvin continues their disappointing season with a loss against St. Ann. The Marvin defense looked lost as the Saints carved their defense up with great passing resulted in two goals for Oramander and the consolation goal came in the 93rd minute from the Royals' Corstan. The "Battle of St. John" was a 5-1 drubbing: Ryan Frost scored two goals, Dean Cartweiler scored 2 more and Art put in another one just to embarrass the poor United side. This also resulted in a brawl between the two managers after the game in which they cursed each other out before hand and then the fists started to fly, both managers will be suspended for 3 games as a result of this.

MATCHDAY 4
O'Fallon 2-0 Bristol
Buder 1-0 Riverview
Kratz 1-1 Hazlewood
Herbert Hoover 0-0 Hoech
Overland 1-1 Tudor
Marvin 0-1 Ritenour North
St. John United 4-1 Ritenour South
St. John 1-0 St. Ann

Bristol was exposed today, just plain exposed. Their defense played a stellar game, only to be let down by not one, not two, but THREE open goal misses. On the other side O'Fallon shot the ball with great accuracy and scored two goals off of only four shots the entire game. The two goals came from guess who, Oran Al-Afed. After the game Martin Callway called the game "A travesty for us as a team, we need to start being more aggressive on the offensive end" even though this should come from a manager, Almocovite agreed. Buder take three points in a nail-biting finish; Baradion Lancu scored a goal in the 94th minute to give the Bulldogs the lead and the field exploded with chants and cheers. The Rams on the other hand looked defeated and tired. Kratz and Hazlewood had a quite slow 1-1 draw. Blane Watson of course scored the opening goal in the 30th minute while Tendrian Allerton scored a masterful goal in the 44th minute. After the excitement the game became slow and nobody else scored resulting in the draw. Herbert Hoover were disappointed and rightfully so: Henry Fontaine could have put the game on ice in the 89th minute when he gained a penalty from a quite rough challenge from Pata Forlan, but he missed the penalty and put it right over the crossbar resulting in the draw. Tudor continue a season of terrible form by drawing with Overland. Of course nothing can put more salt in the wound than by blowing the lead at the 92nd minute. Tudor looked as though they were going to win as Trent Herenti scored a goal in the 80th minute, but of course Overland threw their midfielders onto the offensive front and somehow got a goal from Leonardo Flantrow in the 92nd minute, making the home crowd happy but the Raptors lost composure and ended up in a scuffle with the Ducks afterwards. Marvin continue to disappoint, game after game it seems like they just can't buy a win, Ritenour North earned an early goal in the 5th minute with a killer free kick from Andrew Helas and Marvin struggled to respond. After the game manager Derrick Hostam shook his head as he went by the Ritenour North players. SJU completely dominated in their match against Ritenour South. South's offense stalled out while SJU's offense flourished at home and put 4 past Fretterborne with the help of Wisstlan and Llonwan. St. John on the other hand won a surprisingly even game against St. Ann. St. Ann's form itse;f is very surprising given that they were predicted to go down in relegation, but the Saints keep pushing and only allowed one goal against St. John. Unfortunately, they could not score themselves.

MATCHDAY 5
Bristol 2-0 Buder
O'Fallon 3-1 Kratz
Riverview 1-1 Herbert Hoover [DERBY]
Hazlewood 1-2 Overland [DERBY]
Hoech 1-2 Marvin [DERBY]
Tudor 0-0 St. John United
Ritenour North 0-1 St. John
Ritenour South 2-2 St. Ann

Bristol scored two goals against Buder to win, but the glaring issue here is that they are fourth in the table with only FIVE goals. What else can you say at this point other than "it's the defense". Those two goals came from Hoccol of course. O'Fallon drub Kratz in a snooze fest, of course Oran Al-Afed scored the hat trick and has 11 goals so far and scored all three in the first half. Riverview-Herbert Hoover was an amazing derby match. The "Border War" had fans Chanting "SHOOT THE EAGLES OUT THE SKY!", managers yelling and shouting at each other and of course a draw to keep tensions going for the next game. Quite a fun match up. Hazlewood fell victim to the newly coined "4-6" tactic that Overland puts in. Hazlewood led the majority of the match with a goal from Colton Meyers, then the "4-6" kicked in and two quick goals by Rhen Yunao put the Panther fans in a sourly mood. After the game they chanted "F*** Yunao" which coincidentally is a phrase people started using as a way to name the derby. Marvin finally get a win off of the foot of Ryan Woqan as he scored goals in the 11th and 50th minute while Hoech's Orton Anderson finally got himself a goal, of course it wouldn't be a derby without a scuffle which resulted in Adlen's two game suspension, thus substitute Trey Hawk has to fill in. Tudor and St. John United need a win, but instead get a slow and painful draw with Tudor fans chanting "Just one goal! please one goal!". St. John get another 1-0 win...this is like what? their THIRD 1-0 win of the season? I know their offense is more explosive than that, but alas a win is a win and their golden goal came at the 50th minute when Ryan Frost scored a volley off of a corner kick. Ritenour South draw with the ever-surprising St. Ann squad who are surely over achieving right now. South's two goals came from Harthon who has scored a remarkable 11 goals as well. St. Ann's goals came from St. Ann's rising star Friponna Oramander

Sure it's only been 5 matchdays but wow, some surprises for sure this season.

The most disappointing team so far: Marvin
Remember when I called Marvin a UICA-Caliber side? WELP let's just throw that out the window for right now, they have been in some bad form lately only gaining a win against their rivals who are doing better than them Hoech. The team seems disorganized, very out of touch and out of form. Hopefully for Royals fans, they get their form back in time for the halfway-point.

The most surprising team so far: St. Ann
Wow, just wow. Sometimes you just gotta stand back and admire the initiative of a team trying to prove their worth. Oramander is looking like a top striker, their defense is looking really good and their manager is as calm and cool as they come. I really hope they keep this form in tact, it makes for some entertaining football.

[Ritenour]

Ritenour South 3-1 Ritenour North [DERBY]

Well you can't say Bristol isn't good, but they are not flashy and oh boy this match showed it hard. Kratz tried to press Bristol's defense but, Kratz does not have the athletes to do such a tactic and a Bristol counter-attack in the 23rd minute results in a goal from Richard Larac, and the Lightning never looked back. Herbert Hoover lose to a team that they should not have even lost to. Every team has their bad moments but man the Eagles looked out-classed today. Buder took advantage of the bad misses from an offensively capable team by not only scoring twice, but shutting them out in the process. This may just be a stumble in form as Oranjen has said, but these losses should not be common for this squad. On the plus side, Buder do not look like a relegation team. Overland-O'Fallon was not the result of the "4-6" but the result of one of the worst missed headers on goals I have ever seen. Imagine that it's the 93rd minute and you are tied, you have a chance to put more pressure on St. John who are winning the league right now, but as you go to head the ball you put it so over the crossbar it should almost count as a home run. The feeling Elias Fullham had after that must have been the worst ever. In order to set this up Ryillan Carran (Yes, not Al-Afed) got a goal in the 41st minute, BUT THEN in the 70th minute Overland equalized with a HUMILIATING goal by Yunao, he was passed the goal keeper and he just back heeled the goal right in front of him, so the Bears had to kick it up a notch and as a result Fullham's miss was magnified to an alarming degree. Marvin-Riverview...oh man I can't just take this anymore. The Royals ARE THE WORST RIGHT NOW, not in terms of points oh no...no, instead they forgot HOW TO PLAY THE GAME OF FOOTBALL. Yes, they scored two wonderful goals early both by Gussam in the 23rd minute and the 50th minute, but apparently nothing seemed to be important to the Royals and the let Eridan North score two goals in TWO MINUTES (78th and 79th). Marvin's defense was not living swiss cheese it was a black hole of defense from the 50th minute on. The attack of the Royals did not help either and they end up drawing to the anger of fans. After that, Hazlewood and St. John United play a respectable and fairly well played game to a 1-1 draw, Hazlewood struck first with a superb goal from Meyers after a free kick in the 60th minute, then SJU equalized to the unwavering relief of the crowd by a good header from Derrick Wisstlan off of a corner. St. John got a good 2-0 result against Hoech off of a free kick from Cartweiler and off of a wonderful strike from Ryan Frost while Hoech struggled to match the pace of St. John's attack and thus, never could sustain a good attack themselves, after the game Hoech manager Norlen Tartar was not distressed and in fact was optimistic saying that "We played a really good team, we should strive to improve instead of wallowing in the sadness of a loss". Tudor get a much needed win over St. Ann in the form of two goals by Yourish Glannao in the 34th minute and the 75th minute. Tudor looked very on point, not giving up possession as much as they did the last five games, their passing improved a ton and now they seem to have some form back. St. Ann's problem was the midfield, they were not supportive of either side of the ball and instead made it hard for St. Ann to get any momentum. "The Battle of Ritenour" was quite a night-marish game for goalkeeper Alais Edroux, two goals were gained by his mistakes and of course the third goal was salt in the wound. The crowd was very hostile towards the visitors chanting "Flash are A**" and "Flash need to dim!". Good ol' Derbies huh?

Tudor 1-0 Ritenour North

Bristol and Herbert Hoover put on a surprisingly fast-paced offensive game with flashy passes and clinical striking. In the first half, the teams traded goals when Nigel put one past the keeper in the 20th and Hoccol put one past in the 33rd, then in the second the same type of trade happened but this time it was Fontaine in the 46th and Hoccol in the 67th. This also answers the question of whether or not Bristol can keep up with a high paced attack side, which it seems they can. Kratz have to be livid after that penalty versus Overland. Rhen Yunao flopped, yes he just plain flopped. it was 1-1 in the 80th minute, the action was getting faster with each team trying to score the winning goal. Then Yunao was pushed lightly by Brain Caluhan and fell like he was shot, and he was given the penalty and the ultimate deciding goal. The Crusaders' fans booed with intensity and the majority immediately left after the goal. Buder and Marvin score six goals combined with Buder's scorers being Crevis and Remendo and with Marvin's John Corstan gaining a nice hat trick, the derby was not as intense as the usual Marvin away fans were being quite cynical about their home team. It was a dry Derby and hopefully can be rekindled later. O'Fallon continue the very good form against St. John United as Oran Al-Afed continues to pad his goal tally as he puts two goals to give O'Fallon a nice victory, the consolation goal was scored by Jorge Cortina in the 94th minute. St. John barely escape Riverfront Park with a win as the Rams lead in the half 2-1 to the delight of the home crowd. Those two goals came from Carson Parr and Eridan North. Then St. John's comeback was fueled by Art Mandell's impressive hat trick as he carved into Riverview's defense in the second half. St. Ann beat Hazlewood in a very nasty and dirty game. Brutal tackles, nasty weather, and a ref who could not give any you know whats about what was in front of him, the only goal in the game came from Oramander. Ritenour South dropped an important game against Hoech. The Huskies were leading 1-0 coming into the 70th minute but a surprising moment of mental shutdown from Kraig Honta resulted in an own goal and a surprising draw. Tudor are gaining momentum now with a 1-0 win over Ritenour North. This win definitely gets them off of the relegation zone and helps instill confidence in the team, the goal Marrow scored in the 50th resulted in the eruption of cheers from the home crowd and manager Grant Louick actually losing composure; yelling at the players on the bench.

MATCHDAY 8
Overland 0-1 Bristol
Marvin 1-2 Herbert Hoover
St. John United 1-1 Kratz
St. John 2-1 Buder
St. Ann 1-3 O'Fallon
Ritenour South 4-0 Riverview
Ritenour North 1-0 Hazlewood
Tudor 1-0 Hoech

Bristol has continued to win one goal games, my question is whether or not they can really sustain this. Of course their defense is superb but the offense while showing improvement still has a long ways to go. This match was a bit of a bore but Hoccol scores again for the Lightning and they never looked back...again. Herbert Hoover win a relatively comfortable match vs Marvin, they were leading 2-0 until Corstan scored a consolation goal, but really Herbert Hoover have been very good so far and they put it into perspective as to why Marvin is losing: The Royals have no heart or energy, it seems like I am watching a defeated group at the 8th matchday, that is not a good sign for their manager that's for sure. SJU earn a disappointing tie vs Kratz as they managed to muck up a penalty that would have put them in a good spot. SJU's one goal comes from Cavalondo while Kratz's goal comes from Watson. St. John win another surprisingly close game to Buder, the Stars are treading on some dangerous ground now. They look very weak on defense (probably just a downturn in form) and if it were not for sloppy striking from Buder could have lost, but of course, a win is a win and the two goals from St. John come from Cartweiler, while Buder's one goal came from Baradion Lancu. O'Fallon smash St. Ann in the second half with Oran Al-Afed scoring once and Ryillan Carran scoring twice. The Saints were leading at the half 1-0 after a great show in passing resulted in a goal from Oramander at the 40th minute, but then O'Fallon put on a ton of pressure and the Saint's defense crumbled under it with bad miscues and terrible crosses. Ritenour South drub Riverview in a great show of offensive prowess as Kaldin and Harthon combine for four with two goals each while Riverview wallow in the pain of not having won a game yet. Ritenour North won with an early goal from Norten Chase in the 2nd, yes, 2nd minute. North's defense became a solid wall for which the Panthers could not penetrate and thus results in a 1-0 game. Tudor win three straight with a 1-0 win over Hoech leaping into the top half of the table surprisingly enough. Tudor fans look on with relieved and cheerful smiles as Trent Herenti scored the only goal in the game at the 59th minute off of a corner kick while Hoech fans looked stunned.

MATCHDAY 9

Kratz 0-1 St. Ann
Buder 2-1 Ritenour South
O'Fallon 2-1 Ritenour North
Riverview 0-3 Tudor
Hazlewood 1-0 Hoech

Marvin win a war of attrition as Bristol's offense could not score against the Royals staunch defense. Hoccol gave a disappointed sigh at the conference while the Lightning's manager said it was an "off day". The Royals gained their second win of the season off of a wonderful volley from Lendrick Carman in the 66th minute. St. John United gain a 1-0 win over Overland in a pretty slow match. Each team's defenses were not budging but then Jorge Cortina broke through and scored the game winning goal at the 90th minute, shocking the home fans and delivering delight to Bellworth. St. John performed terribly against Herbert Hoover, the Stars let the Eagles' rapid attack overcome them and let them lead 3-0 at the 80th minute, with Nigel getting two goals and Olson getting another one to seal the win. St. Ann win a good 1-0 game with very good passing, staunch defending, and some great timing on offense with the goal coming from Oramander in the 25th minute. Kratz in the meanwhile looked sluggish and slow, not lacking in heart, but lacking in athletic ability. Ritenour South lost a hard fought match to Buder as Buder put the pressure on early on and were rewarded with a 1-0 lead when Lancu scored in the 44th minute, then Osan scored another goal at the 56th and South got their consolation in the 70th by Jagoun, South could not overcome the pressure and succumbed to a surprising Buder side. O'Fallon chase St. John and win at home against Ritenour North with two goals from the Scoring machine Oran Al-Afed, North's goal came from an embarrassing own goal when Ryan Dunn threw the ball backwards into his own net thus killing the clean sheet. Tudor win four games in a row with a drubbing of poor Riverview. Riverview have been on some seriously bad form and the home fans let them hear it booing and shouting curses from the stands. Tudor's own Tyler Worthington got a neat hat trick against a soggy Rams defense and give Raptors fans hope for a salvageable season after their bad start. Hazlewood ended the day with a good 1-0 win over the poor-formed Hoech with a goal from Frank Hopewell's penalty, giving the Panthers some comfort and giving Hoech fans a bitter taste.

MATCHDAY 10
St. John United 0-2 Bristol
St. John 3-3 Marvin
St. Ann 0-2 Overland
Ritenour South 1-1 Herbert Hoover
Ritenour North 0-1 Kratz
Tudor 3-3 Buder
Hoech 1-1 O'Fallon
Hazlewood 2-1 Riverview

Bristol shut down their opponents again! They have only allowed 5 goals in 10 games! That is some top quality defending if I do say so myself, it also helps when your offense is starting to come around and hit their targets correctly, resulting in two goals from not Hoccol but Imabata! St. John and Marvin draw with some stellar drama, St. John led at the half 3-0 with Cartweiler, Mandell, and Frost putting 3 in the net, then the best comeback so far happened: Marvin's attack became crisp and solid and their defense became solid and unbreakable resulting in an unbelievable Fiarino Torstalvan hat trick to make it a draw for the Royals, way to salvage the game eh? Overland win 2-0 over St. Ann in one of their best games yet in my estimation. The Saints could not get through Overland's amazing defense and it became a one-sided affair because Overland could gain a threatening build-up at any time and the Saints could not do anything about it. South and Herbert Hoover come to a 1-1 tie in a relatively average game where Fontaine scored at laser of a goal at the 70th minute but then Kaldin scored just three minutes later, South manager stated that "We have been in disappointing form, losing where we shouldn't have and drawing the top teams. Let's not talk about Kratz vs North, I don't want to talk about it. Tudor and Buder fight to another 3-3 draw, where Tudor forgot to play defense when it led 2-0 due to goals by Henry Glass and Trent Herenti, then the Bulldogs pulled three back from the feet of Lancu and Crevis (Lancu scoring two and Crevis scoring once). THEN at the 85th minute Glannao scored the equalizer that earned Tudor a point and an undefeated Eight matchdays, quite a good form. Hoech and O'Fallon fight to a boring draw but an invigorating goal by Oran Al-Afed to equalize, but really I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed this match. It was slow and drab, the first goal from Amber came pretty early (10th minute in fact) and defense just took over. Hazlewood crush the Rams' dreams of escaping the past five matchdays with a win as they put two past the Rams Goalkeeper off of the foot of Meyers. It seems Riverview have not found their footing yet and need to find it or else they will face relegation rather early.

The most disappointing team so far: You know who and you know why

The most Surprising team so far: Buder
No chance I said, no way I said, well Buder are 10th and have some decent results going for them, making my predictions completely obsolete in THE FIRST SEASON...good on them! I guess, maybe I should have looked and Lancu and Crevis a little bit more in depth as players instead of the semi-chaotic situation the club is in...

Overland 1-0 Ritenour North
Herbert Hoover 4-0 Tudor
Kratz 0-0 Hoech [DERBY]
Buder 3-2 Hazlewood
O'Fallon 1-2 Riverview

Bristol and St. John tie in a gripping tale of when teams decide to build walls instead of bridges. Both teams came out cautious and kinda slow. In the second half Bristol got a goal off of a great free kick from Hoccol (of course). After that it was a fight to stay 1-0 in which Bristol lost in the 89th minute when Art Mandell scored the equalizer resulting in only one point for each side also giving for a meaningful game in the future. St. John United and St. Ann go fight for a draw in which 3 fights happened, one between staff members at the United side, one between the managers when the game was over and one when fans of opposing teams clashed outside: of course with all of the messy fights the goals were actually fantastic, Jackson Porysus finally gets two goals (both off of corners) and Cavalondo and Llonwan combine their efforts for two goals to keep it at a draw. Ritenour South pile on to the Royals' woes and they win in an all too familiar drubbing fashion when they scored 3 at the end of the first half, Kaldin had two goals and Fionta had one to cap off the half, in the second half Marvin scored a consolation in the 70th minute much to the sarcastic cheers of the crowd. Overland win in a last minute thriller of a match, throughout the whole game Overland have been knocking on the door and at the 87th minute, that door was pried open by Hallander with a clinical strike that put the home crowd into a state of joyous celebration. North could never recover and Overland get 3 points. Tudor now ends up crashing and burning against Herbert Hoover, and in fact, it was not even Herbert Hoover...it was Henry Fontaine scoring four goals in one game. Kratz and Hoech can not break through their respective defenses and as a result a 0-0 draw and some disappointed fans were inevitable. Buder survive at home against Hazlewood which saw the Hopewell brothers score two goals in the second half to equalize but then,Baradion Lancu gains a deserved penalty and puts in the winning goal to give Buder three points. O"Fallon lost to RIVERVIEW at home, on the part of sloppy defense and an alarming lack of urgency on the Bears' side, hopefully this is just an anomaly for them.

St. Ann took it to Bristol today, Bristol looked like fools as their defense finally failed to block the onslaught of good passing and tempo coming from the Saints. Porysus scored two goals again (Apparently Oramander took two days off) and guided the Saints to a great result. Ritenour South defeat St. John in a great game for the Huskies, they prove that they can beat teams like St. John with a real vigor. Harthon scored in the 37th minute and Kaldin scored in the 50th minute while Cartweiler scored in the 40th, with the Huskies now in the race for the top spot. Ritenour North likewise beat SJU with two goals from Andrew Helas (Just not a good day for St. John I guess). Marvin pick themselves up with a 1-0 win against Tudor which saw Aman Gussam
be a hero in the 93rd minute with a free kick goal. Hoech beat Overland in a very...peculiar derby match. Hoech and Overland have away fans banned from each other's respective venues for a reason and after Amber put in the game winning goal, a riot erupted in Overland...great. Hazlewood manage to take three points off of Herbert Hoover with a header from Meyers. Riverview and Kratz slug it out into a draw which doesn't even help any of them because they would still be in the relegation zone. O'Fallon redeem themselves by winning 1-0 over a very over-achieving Buder squad and are back in the race for the league as a result.

Herbert Hoover 2-1 O'Fallon
Kratz 2-0 Buder [DERBY]

Bristol scored two goals in the first half under a very, very clean looking offense. You see? all Bristol need to do is score two goals and they win almost 90% of the time. Larac scored once and Hoccol scored twice to put the Lightning over the Huskies in a clean looking and emphatic 3-1 victory. St. Ann beat Ritenour North with another 1-0 result on the back of a maturing defense with Bragga becoming a stellar defender. Oramander scored the only goal and St. Ann are back into form. St. John garner a disappointing draw to Tudor after a heroic 5 minutes saw Glannao out run the St. John defense and put it into the back of the net shocking an appalled Stars crowd, thus resulting in some strong comments by Ron Johnston "We played like crap those five minutes, that's what it is: five minutes between three points and one point". Hoech beat an out-of-form and out of touch SJU...I feel like they have just gotten worse. Anderson got a goal in the 15th minute and SJU despite having talented people, could not respond with even a particle of energy. Marvin have regained their composure, they have started to win more and more and have stopped becoming a shell of what they should be. Marvin's lone goal came from Woqan. Overland beat a tired side in Riverview. The Rams are not performing up to the already very low expectations and have instead, stooped so low that the sacking of the manager in Riverview is almost guaranteed after the halfway point. Herbert Hoover pull ever closer to the top of the table on the foot of Nigel's two goals to Al-Afed's one goal. Kratz get a much needed win at home against Buder in the derby. Blane Watson got two on point goals to give Kratz much more of a chance at getting out of the relegation zone.

Ritenour North take down Bristol at home to gain three much needed points after a disappointing loss to St. Ann. Their lone goal coming from Dion Zerrado to seal the deal in the 89th minute. Tudor beat Ritenour South to sully their chances at gaining a top spot at the table. Worthington and Glannao both score in the second half with vigor to rip the top spot from South's ever reaching grasp and help Tudor climb up in the table. Hoech mop up St. Ann 3-1 in a drubbing Saints manager Mr. H called "That day in the office where you just break everything" no amount of consolation goals could help the saints as Hoech cruise past them. Hazlewood-St. John and Riverview-SJU became very boring draws and really, surprising ones as well considering the quality of the teams. O'Fallon finally crash Marvin's "We are actually good" party with a 1-0 win on the foot of...you guessed it Oran Al-Afed like usual. Overland beat Buder and sneak into the title conversation, no seriously they are like sixth in the league and actually have a shot at getting top four...and I predicted them to get 12th HA jokes on me. To be fair, who expected Younao to be a really good striker? no seriously who did? he scored two today and he's been a workhorse for this team. Herbert Hoover get the predictable result against Kratz and are creeping ever so slightly into the race that many people have only invovled St. John and O'Fallon in.

Overland 2-1 Herbert Hoover

Oh man, the Tudor-Bristol derby was always nasty and this one was no exception, bottles, murders, riots, fighting, the game was stopped at 50 Minutes because the crowd was just getting too disruptive and a proper game could not be played. Ritenour North draw with Hoech in an uneventful day for either side with Helas scoring in the 20th minute and Hilder scoring at the 39th minute. Then each teams defense took over and boom draw. No comment on the Ritenour South-Hazlewood game, literally too uneventful for words. St. Ann go to a fun 3-3 draw against Hazlewood with hat tricks going to both sides. Oramander got 3 and Bryan Hopewell got 3. It was odd that both defenses were not on point, but it should not be that much of an indication of form. St. John crawl back to the top of the league winning 2-0 against O'Fallon at home. The hometown crowd were out in force with many people crowding around the field to get a look at two of the best teams in the league. Mandell and Cartweiler get the two goals needed to put St. John back in front of the league. After that SJU beat Buder in a much needed victory to stay clear of relegation. Marvin regain lost ground and find themselves at 9th place instead of what they really should be but just don't get me started on that. Overland shock Herbert Hoover and keep the Eagles at 3rd place for now after two goals from Yunao who has began to blossom into a really great striker.

RIVERVIEW MANAGER SACKED AFTER 15 GAMES

It should come as no surprise that Riverview's manager Kiran Styles has been sacked after Riverview failed to win their second game in fifteen tries. Kiran hasn't tried to comment yet but the Chairman of Riverview states that "It had to be done, we had no choice. We should not be where we at with the squad we put forth for Mr. Styles. He understands that and I hope he finds new work". Riverview fans are relieved and hope that the Rams can get into form and get out of the relegation zone, but of course the question is "Who will replace Styles?". There have been no real substantial rumors as of yet so all we have for now is interim manager Steve Callher while Riverview's chairman attempts to find a suitable replacement.

Bristol win 1-0 at Hoech. The Lightning keep on winning with 1-0 games are great defensive play backed up by the ever-improving offense who has started to show some class and form. Hoccol slid the goal cleanly into the net and the Lightning keep marching along with great form. Tudor escaped Hazlewood with a 2-1 thriller set up by goals from Bryan Hopewell at the 20th and Worthington at the 44th. Then Trent Herenti carved the Panthers' defense at the 87th minute to give Tudor the game winning goal. Riverview played Ritenour North to another disappointing draw. Riverview have not gotten a decisively good result in a relatively long time, and they NEED to start winning or else it will be relegation. O'Fallon and Ritenour South played an incredible game filled to the brim with great offense, Elias Fullham scored in the 32nd, while Oran Al-Afed scored in the 55th and the 61st. South had Fionta and Jagoun as scorers and I feel like they have slipped a little bit.They have not had a win in 4 games so now they are quietly slipping down the table. St. Ann continue their improbable run with a win over Buder when Oramander scored two in the second half to put the Saints over. St. John return to good form with a good result against Kratz. Watson scored Kratz's lone goal but did not much else while Mandell scored in the 12th and Cartweiler scored in the 41st. SJU get a much needed win against a shocked Eagles squad when Llonwan headed a beautiful cross at the 50th minute. Overland put Marvin down 2-0 at home with Yunao of course scoring the two goals.

MATCHDAY 17
Bristol 2-1 Hazlewood
Hoech 3-0 Riverview
Tudor 0-3 O'Fallon
Ritenour North 2-0 Buder
Ritenour South 1-1 Kratz
St. Ann 0-0 Herbert Hoover
St. John 1-1 Overland
St. John United 1-2 Marvin

Bristol confirmed the Panthers' really bad form by winning 2-1 and sending Hazlewood on a big spiral. Hazlewood were somewhat safe until this point and now were in danger of actually slipping to a relegation spot. To which Colton Meyers said was a "disgrace". Hoech beat up perennial punching bags Riverview 3-0 fueled with goals from Patrick Corin and Morton Hilder to put the Rams down. O'Fallon also commenced a beat down at Tudor with goals from Al-Afed and Oran Dunn to embarrass the poor Raptors side. Ritenour North finally won against Buder at home, putting an end to a run of mediocre form with goals coming from Helas and Horschager to comfort Flash fans. It also made for some good entertainment when the North team sang near their fans. South slip up again in a draw against Kratz, the Huskies' form is starting to look alarming to fans and is a cause of concern. Many think that if they don't make it to the UICA, their manager may be in hot water. Not fired, but in hot water. St. Ann and Herbert Hoover go 0-0 at Full Time boring fans and me alike. St. John slip up against Overland when they gave Yunao a penalty which he scored with ease...in the 90th minute. Marvin climb up the table with a win over SJU and the Royals look livelier now, when Carman scored you can feel the emotion in their celebration...it's like a different team from what we say in the first half of the season.

"Riverview matches are always draws or losses" a bummed out fan said and well, this is true. Riverview have only one win but they definitely have a bunch of forsaken draws where they blow it or they just can't pull the win off. It's really off putting to see how different Riverview's position would be if some of those draws were actually wins. Bristol should have won though to be fair. O'Fallon makes Hazlewood suffer with another win in the Derby. The Bears are topping the table now while St. John are looking off of form and may win the league, surprise surprise. Al-Afed scored of course and is on pace to be the MVP of the league if he keeps up his stellar performance. Buder and Hoech score and score but with no resolution as Orton Anderson got a hat trick while Lancu and Hontha combine for three forcing the draw. Kratz and Tudor draw as well (man what's with the lack of decisive matches) and this match had a fight between Ray Clovis and Dorrick O'Halloran after Tudor gained the equalizer, it resulted in a bunch of hurtful words and meaningless drama though. Herbert Hoover get a draw AGAIN against North and have been slipping in the table being overtaken by Overland after their 2-0 amazing victory versus South. Which saw goals from Hallander and Holmes and not a guy named Yunao (imagine that). Marvin and St. Ann go into another draw...how many draws does it take to make a matchday boring? Like I know draws are exciting to the end and all but...it doesn't have a resolution, ugh. The most interesting match of the day was SJU's unbelievable 1-0 victory against St. John. Jorge Cortina scored a goal off of a wonderful volley and straight after that Ryan Frost got Red carded for pushing Midfielder Issac Gornum down to the ground. So now the Stars will go without their Star striker for at least 2 games.

MATCHDAY 19
Bristol 1-0 O'Fallon
Riverview 1-2 Buder
Hazlewood 1-2 Kratz
Hoech 2-1 Herbert Hoover
Tudor 3-1 Overland
Ritenour North 0-2 Marvin
Ritenour South 2-3 St. John United
St. Ann 0-1 St. John

Bristol defeat O"Fallon and are starting to gel into this massive defensive wall with attackers that can play offense; some may call it "parking the bus" but I call it "Winning" and Bristol or any team for that manner would not mind "Winning" by any means necessary. Riverview lose again to Buder to the adoring boos of the fans calling for a complete clean up of the club and soon. Kratz climbs out of relegation with a win over Hazlewood with two goals scored by Jorrick Ranceda and George Maclenhenny. Herbert Hoover has some of the worst luck now? an own goal and a game winning penalty? sheesh that's rough on the former top-4 Eagles side. Tudor crush Overland at home and are starting to creep up to the top 4. Of course they still need some fine-tuning but the Raptors are turning into a quality side. Marvin are ALIVE, they are smiling being enthusiastic, being a team. I do not know what happened after the halfway point but it worked. Corstan and Gussam scored in the 60th and the 70th respectively to give their fans hope that they may climb back into the top 4 conversation. SJU have caught fire and are winning to keep themselves from the threatening relegation zone off of the foot of Wisstlan and some help from Cortina. St. John even with the absence of Frost finally get a win and redemption for the poor form they showed previously, BUT they have slipped from the top of the table...

MATCHDAY 20
Buder 0-2 Bristol
Kratz 0-1 O'Fallon
Herbert Hoover 0-0 Riverview [DERBY]
Overland 4-2 Hazlewood [DERBY]
Marvin 1-0 Hoech [DERBY]
St. John United 0-3 Tudor
St. John 1-2 Ritenour North
St. Ann 2-1 Ritenour South

Bristol keep winning and they capture second because of it, now Bristol will have to chase O'Fallon and will have to keep gaining as many points as it can in order to win the league. Hoccol has turned into a star striker and the defense has to be in their prime at this point. O'Fallon top the table and beat down Kratz as well, leaving them at 14th and in a relegation battle with Hazlewood and Riverview as a result. Herbert Hoover have lost form, and hopefully after this abysmal derby match they can get it back. Overland catch a surprising top 4 spot after bullying Hazlewood in their derby. I really underestimated the abilities of their manager and their offense haven't I? they were predicted to be 12th and now they are 4th. Marvin, where was this team? where has this team been? if they had this team at the start they could be challenging for a top 4 spot at the very least but since they had a poor start they sit in 7th. Tudor crush SJU with goals from Herenti and Glannao in the first half, defeating SJU before the halftime whistle. St. John crashes into 3rd place with a loss to North, obviously Ron Johnston said bluntly " We haven't played well, and we need to get back with a full head of steam or else, be left behind". South have struggled these past matches and they fall to 10th...TENTH in the table. Someone's job is not looking very clean now is it?

RIVERVIEW HIRES A NEW MANAGER

Riverview's chairman has found an offer for taking the manager job from a foreign man but the name of Erik Kimzey. Kimzey has taken clubs out of the relegation zone before. His tenure at Llandudno Local FC saw a team destined for relegation escape it. Steve Callher even called Kimzey "The right man for the job". and hopefully this gives Rams fans something to look forward to. His style is more fast-paced than what the Rams are used to but it has worked for Kimzey before...but will it work this time? Who knows.

Riverview 3-1 Marvin
Hazlewood 3-1 St. John United
Hoech 1-1 St. John
Tudor 1-2 St. Ann
Ritenour North 0-1 Ritenour South [DERBY]

Kratz and Bristol finish with a 0-0 draw with some bad misses (one notably on a free kick) and some awesome defensive tactics. Herbert Hoover get back on track with a 2-0 win over Buder. Fontaine scored off of a penalty in the 15th and Hellan scored in the 46th on a great header that surely won them the game. O'Fallon take three important points off of Overland to keep the top of the table with Al-Afed scoring both goals. Riverview are not truly relegated yet and they fight off Marvin at home 3-1 to give fans hope that Kimzey's tenure will keep them at the top flight. Riley Cherneim scored at the 25th minut with Eridan North chiming in at the 60th and 75th, while Marvin's lone goal came from Jack Goldman at the 64th. Hazlewood beat down SJU to keep them clear of any relegation worries for now to the joy of home fans. St. John slip again with a draw against Hoech, Ron Johnston could not believe what was occurring on the pitch and would not comment on the game any further than "We were just bad". St. Ann get an amazing last minute goal when Porysus launched a lasee from 30 yards out and the goalkeeper could not get to it in time at the 91st minute. Ritenour South win the derby 1-0 to go undefeated vs North this season. North fans were chanting "TALON BLEW IT! TALON BLEW!" referencing how the Huskies have failed to capture a UICA spot.

Ritenour South 4-0 Hoech
Ritenour North 1-0 Tudor

Herbert Hoover and Bristol gain a 1-1 tie in a pacey match where the offense somehow went blow for blow with each other. Hoccol has matured during this season and has supported his team wonderfully on their campaign. Overland gain a disappointing draw with Kratz after Yunao was fouled...yes he was fouled but they never gave the penalty although Overland fans chanted a diabolical phrase after the game "GOOD LUCK SECONDARY LEAGUE!'. Marvin win again and at least gave their fans hope for a decent finish, although it's still an underwhelming season when you don't get to go to the UICA due to a very bad start. Carman gained a goal at the 67th while Gussam got one two minutes later. Buder's lone goal came from Lancu, who has stepped up and carried them this season. SJU and O'Fallon get a surprising draw which puts SJU a bit above the relegation zone for now. St. John get a win which puts them back into the title race at the expense of Riverview's enthusiasm but they are not relegated yet surprisingly. St. Ann defeat Hazlewood and still cling on for hope that they can get a UICA spot in the future, there is still lots of games to be played. Ritenour South dominate Hoech with a hat trick from Brandon Fionta and even though they might not get a UICA spot they certainly give their fans fun games to watch. North beat Tudor 1-0 to kill almost any hope of Tudor touching the UICA zone as well albeit not their expected goal anyway.

MATCHDAY 23
Bristol 2-0 Overland
Herbert Hoover 4-1 Marvin
Kratz 1-1 St. John United
Buder 2-2 St. John
O'Fallon 0-2 St. Ann
Riverview 1-1 Ritenour South
Hazlewood 3-0 Ritenour North
Hoech 1-1 Tudor

Bristol shut out Overland at home to cause Overland to slip down in the table and it keeps Bristol at second place and in the running for the title and Hoccol gets a couple of goals for his troubles. Herbert Hoover kills Marvin 4-1 behind Fontaine and Nigel's absurdly good offensive play and the defense walled out any chance of a comeback for Marvin, simply a good result for Herbert Hoover. Kratz and SJU played a slow going game for a draw, but Kratz has slid down to last place and Riverview jumps them and is now looking to get out of relegation. Buder draw St. John to the cheers of bulldogs fans, the St. John players look like they don't have it in them to try and make a title run, it's surely still there for them, but with this form? no way they are getting a title. St. Ann take points from O'Fallon leading them to climb the table more and creep up to that 4th place spot. Riverview have picked up their form in this stage, I'll admit it. Kimzey is starting to look like the savior of the Rams like he was the Savior of Llandudno Local FC out in Ethane. Hazlewood fight to stay clear of relegation by 3-0'ing North in emphatic fashion while Hoech and Tudor do not get a clear result over each other.

MATCHDAY 24

Tudor 1-2 Riverview
Hoech 0-2 Hazlewood

Bristol clinch out a win away with Hoccol carrying the offense with a back-breaking defense. It seems like Bristol are surely going to get in the UICA but maybe they'll drop some games, you never know. Overland get back on track against SJU, who have been mediocre at best but are still clear of relegation. St. John THRASH Herbert Hoover with Mandell getting FOUR...yes FOUR goals in the second half. Jeez, that's some killer form. St. Ann and Kratz fight to a maddening tie for Kratz. They need to push out of relegation but constant draws keep handicapping them heavily. Buder 1-0's South to kill off what little shreds of hope South had of getting a top 4 finish. O'Fallon keep moving along to pace ahead of Bristol the race is looking really tight. Bristol is on O'Fallon's tail and St. John are still in it, exciting stuff for the first season of the premier!. Riverview's hopes have been revitalized with a win over Tudor in what seemed to be a lively display of attacking football. Riverview may just escape relegation after all. Hazlewood win a game no one really cared about, they stay clear of relegation of course.

MATCHDAY 25

Overland 0-1 St. Ann
Herbert Hoover 1-1 Ritenour South

O'Fallon 5-5 Hoech
Riverview 3-0 Hazlewood

Bristol stay in 2nd place with a draw against SJU, they would have topped the table but unfortunately for them SJU played a good game and forced them to draw. St. John's Dan Cartweiler gives Stars fans hope that they can still win the title. St. Ann pull themselves to fourth place...FOURTH PLACE, for a team that was predicted to be relegated. What. A. Story. A draw at Herbert Hoover cements South at mid-table status and rumors about Taigretti Talon's job are getting thrown around. North has put themselves in position to be mid-table after a good win at Kratz. Tudor gain seventh place after beating now relegation-threatened Buder. O'Fallon draws with Hoech in a massive shootout which produced 10 goals and a DRAW. and Riverview pull themselves into 15th and in a position where they may escape relegation which would be amazing considering their abhorrent form.

Hazlewood 2-0 Buder
Riverview 0-1 O'Fallon

Bristol and St. John draw and give O'Fallon some breathing room in the title race. Hoccol missed a golden opportunity to give Bristol the game being 1 on 1 with the keeper but he just barely put it over the crossbar and killed the attack. SJU pull down St. Ann from their pedestal with Llonwan doing the scoring for United clearing them further from relegation. Ritenour South draws Marvin in the perfect encapsulation of the disappointing seasons both teams had. South's scorer was Jagoun in the 27th while Marvin's scorer was Aman Gussam in the 33rd. Ritenour North draw Overland 0-0 with walls built on both sides of the field resulting in only 8 shots the whole game. Tudor draw Herbert Hoover 2-2 with great goals from both sides. Hardtack had a wonderful backheeled goal in the 30th, Dexter Morrow bicycle kicked a goal in the 55th as well, good stuff from both sides. Hoech beats Kratz in their next to last derby game sticking it to the Crusaders one last time. Hazlewood have seemed to clear themselves for now, beating Buder O'Fallon have kept pace in the title race by getting a goal from Kevin Graham in the 67th minute.

Kratz 0-2 Riverview
Buder 1-4 O'Fallon

Bristol keep moving and moving with a win over St. Ann with a goal from Tyler Ormachel at the 50th minute with a wonderful freekick. Ormachel put it right over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net to give Bristol three needed points. St. John play to a devastating draw that puts them further away from the title by allowing Kaldin to score in the 88th minute. SJU and North played to a draw and...that's it really, not ramifications there. Tudor win but it may be too late for a last minute comeback for a UICA spot. Overland stick it to Hoech at home with fans raining down chants if "Screw Hoech!" and "Amber is a B****" dealing damage to morale and leading to poor play from the wolves. Herbert Hoover deal a damaging blow to Hazlewood, putting them at risk for relegation with goals from Morlov, Nigel, Hellan, and Lojon. Riverview get a much needed win against fellow relegation battlers Kratz and O'Fallon deals a heavy blow to Buder with Oran Al-Afed scoring another hat trick.

Hazlewood 1-3 Marvin
Riverview 2-2 Overland
O'Fallon 1-3 Herbert Hoover
Buder 1-3 Kratz [DERBY]

Bristol get an unwanted draw from South as Hoccol did put two past South, but the defense failed today and let South score two goals in six minutes to bring the game level and end up in a draw. St. Ann gain a draw as the top 4 slips further away from them and the heartbreak settles in. Tudor take a game from St. John and almost punches the Stars straight out of the title race and into only UICA qualification. Hoech loses to SJU in a low-table match up but neither team are going to be relegated anyway. Marvin trounce Hazlewood in a stunning 3-0 at the first half, with Cortsan scoring two of the goals. Riverview draw with Overland at home to bring more drama to the relegation race, the Rams may get out alive and live to see the premier next season. Herbert Hoover pulls O'Fallon even close to Bristol with a game that was not even close. Kratz pull Buder down to 16th in a nasty derby match with bottles being thrown and flares going off in every direction! It became dangerous to even be in the game.

St. Ann 2-0 Hoech

Marvin 1-1 O'Fallon
Overland 4-3 Buder
Herbert Hoover 0-2 Kratz

Bristol keep marching through with a 1-0 win against North in which Hoccol shows just why he's a mature striker. He dribbled it perfectly passed the keeper and just tapped it in with no hesitation. South beat Tudor in a really meaningless game, both teams are finishing mid-table so not many cared. St. Ann return to winning against Hoech in a 2-0 game. St. John are out of the title race, but that doesn't mean they can't beat Hazlewood, and they did 1-0. SJU and Riverview draw giving the Rams hope that they can get out of relegation (Yes the hope is strong with the fans). O'Fallon keep their championship hopes alive with a draw. Overland beat Buder and Kratz somehow downs Herbet Hoover.

Ok, instead of my usual summary, I'm just gonna put quotes from commentators on the final day.

"Bristol, win the game and now they have to wait on O'Fallon and St. John to play out, if O'Fallon draws or loses Bristol wins the title. If O'Fallon wins the Lightning will experience a heartbreaker."

"Hazlewood loses a tough game to Ritenour South, they have to look to both Kratz and Riverview not being able to win their games in order to clear relegation. They will now sit and wait on the results"

"Renando, to North, back to Renando, passing's been good so far and Parr gathers possession of it, Rams have one minute to score. Parr shoots as IT GOES IN! RIVERVIEW ARE SURELY OUT OF RELEGATION! PARR SAVES THE RAMS FROM CERTAIN DOOM IN THE 92ND MINUTE OF THE MATCH, KIMZEY IS CELEBRATING WITH HIS STAFF! THE FANS ARE GOING MAD! PARR HAS DONE IT! PARR HAS DONE IT!...chants of Kimzey's name sound across the stands and the Rams are alive and kicking in the premier league for one more season!"

"Cartweiler has got the ball, he pass it on to Mandell. Mandell is running with it and then passes through to Frost, Frost is running, running, he got past one defender he got past the other one! Frost is now making a mad dash for it! FROST HAS BEATEN THE DEFENSE ENTIRELY NOW HE HAS THE GOALKEEPER TO BEAT! Frost shoots and...IT'S A GOAL, IT'S A GOAL! O'FALLON'S CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES ARE NOW DEAD IN THE WATER FROM THAT MAGNIFICENT GOAL BY RYAN FROST! O'Fallon have let the title slip by! Al-Afed is on his knees shaking his head while Ryan Frost is pumping his fist in the Air! What a game!"

"Kratz has won the game and put Hazlewood into the Secondary league! News has just reached the Panthers and their heartbroken fans as they say goodbye to the premiership"

RITENOUR NATIONAL CUP ANNOUNCED

The RFA has announced that it has started up a national cup competition for all Ritenour teams to compete in. All rounds and teams' placement in rounds are set by the previous seasons' placement of the team. This cup extends from the newly founded A8 League all the way up to the premier league and the FA hopes this will bring excitement into the league system and inject some life into some of the poorer clubs in the nation however, this year's cup will not include A8 Teams. FA President Jack Warnock exclaimed: "It is a very exciting prospect and would bring much more of a competitive edge to the nation."

Ritenour Premier League Preview

Bristol
Nickname: Lightning
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John & St. John United)
Formation: 3-3-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Martin Callway, Ronald Hunter, Alouis Arnold
MID- Horace Alcanayes, Henry Altou-Amawon, Terry Jackson
AM- Gregory Imabata, Tyler Ormachel
FWD- Richard Larac, Martin Hoccol
GK- Garret Macclesfield
Manager: Theodore Almocovite
Rivals: Tudor, St. John
Summary: Well, there isn't anything different about this team is there? That is because this team has definitely developed a mature striking force (especially with Hoccol becoming a clinical finisher at the end of the season). The starters are exactly the same, their style is exactly the same, BUT they will have to be on the lookout for the other title contenders like O'Fallon or St. John who have changed some of their roster to accommodate with their respective styles. The former champions will definitely be in the race but would they win it? I'm not entirely sure
Predicted Placement: 2nd


Tudor
Nickname: Raptors
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Ritenour South)
Formation: 4-2-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Carry Lagano, Alan Haystes, Reed Montero, Kris Hellenfield
MID- Mark Harrasher, Henry Glass
RW- Dexter Marrow,
LW- Trent Herenti
FWD- Yourish Glannao, Tyler Worthington
GK- Ulrich Garamido
Manager: Tydonnus Lennenkov
Rivals: Bristol
Summary: Tydonnus Lennenkov's team finished expectantly mid-table and will do so again. They have only changed the back four (Campago went to Normandy AC and Pierce joined Ritenour North). These changes actually weaken Tudor because both Haystes and Montero are products of the youth system and have not had playing time yet. Plus, Lennenkov's formation change may harm the team as well. They will not be relegated but they are certainly not in for a good season due to the back four
Predicted Placement: 12th


Nickname: The Flash
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour South and Tudor)
Formation: 4-2-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Bryce Pierce, Rick Marat, Drake Hortien, Jerod Kerodian
MID- Louis Lawson, Matt Horschager
W- Dion Zerrado, Gary Hillenkeller
FWD- Andrew Helas, Norten Chase
GK- Alais Edroux
Manager: Grant Louick
Rivals: Ritenour South
Summary: Ritenour North have improved with the signing of Pierce, they need his energy to bring the team together. Last season they were exhausted, lacked motivation and were amazingly bad at the back, with Pierce that motivation and the drive to win will be present. It also helps that youth prospect Gary Hillenkeller was swooped right under Bristol's nose at the end of the break. They should not have to worry about relegation and may even surprise many with a decent finish
Predicted Placement: 8th


Ritenour South
Nickname: Huskies
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Tudor)
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Marcus Halberg, Kraig Honta, Leon Progenno
MID- Raymond Haus, John Glantow, Remorno Paciatto
FWD- Theodore Jagoun, Richard Kaldin, Ronald Harthon, Leonardo Dallersby
GK- Lester Norckambe
Manager: Taigretti Talon
Rivals: Ritenour North
Summary: The Huskies are in a bad place right now they had a very awful (by their standards) season last time around and they lost Brandon Fionta to St. Ann and they have a manager who is on the hot seat and NEEDS to get into the UICA or else face a sack. With the players he has he needs to do better than 7th place in order to keep his job. He will not do it however, the team's confidence looks shot and many have them pinned at mid-table mediocrity this season.
Predicted Placement: 9th


St. Ann
Nickname: Saints
Location: St. Ann, Metropolitana
Venue: Pattonville Sports Complex
Formation: 2-2-4-2
Roster:
DEF- Indas Flynbawin, William Bragga
Middle DEF- George Correa, Martin O'Donnel
AM- Pacha Avane, Daniel Afforea, Holden Markean, Triun Oramander
FWD- Friponna Oramander, Brandon Fionta
GK- Kevin Kane
Manager: Thrano Heiklapanos
Rivals: Normandy AC
Summary: Heiklapanos told us this "I want the UICA, We have shown we can compete with all of the other teams now, we need to start getting UICA spots". His ambition has no limits it seems. After an incredible season the last time (showing that my predictions mean absolutely nothing, thanks Thrano) they want more and I can not blame them. Herbert Hoover has fallen apart (many players leaving to places like Overland and Delmar Loop), Oramander and Fionta look like an amazing duo and they signed the best defender of the youth groups in Flynbawin from St. Ferdinand. They will definitely get a UICA spot
Predicted Placement: 4th


St. John
Nickname: Stars
Location: St John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John United and Bristol)
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Bray Harandis, Tyler Colm, Florence Tarradis
MID- Giovanni Marco, Herman Colman-Ango, Ardlen Ranger
FWD- Dean Cartweiler, Art Mandell, Dimitrius West, Dartlund Ilidivoci
GK- Horatio Hillman
Manager: Ron Johnston
Rivals: Bristol, St. John United
Summary: Notice the formation change? well, it's because Ryan Frost went on loan for the season. What does that do to the Stars' hopes? not much to be honest. They changed into a 3-3-4 which still relies on some form of attacking. Marco is still brilliant and Cartweiler/Mandell are a fierce Duo, the problem is they do not have solid chemistry. the new players are good, but they need to be acclimated to the enviroment at St. John. They will get a UICA spot, but they probably won't win the title
Predicted Placement: 3rd


St. John United
Nickname: Dolphins
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John and Bristol)
Formation: 3-4-3
Roster:
DEF- Henry Gorano, Phillip Cayes, Mark Intillham
MID- Jorge Cortina, Quinn Horton, Brenden Hellentruth, Issac Gornum
FWD- Victor Cavalondo, Derrick Wisstlan, Fynten Llonwan
GK- Craig Jupiter
Manager: Reginald Bellworth
Rivals: St. John
Summary: Well there is one change to the team, Herbert Hoover's Quinn Horton was signed in order to lead a weak midfield who just were not ready for the challenge. Unfortunately it may not be enough for the UICA spot, but it will be a definite improvement for the young side.
Predicted Placement: 6th


Marvin
Nickname(s): Stars, Royals
Location: Northern St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: Marvin Athletic Fields
Formation: 2-3-2-3
Roster:
DEF- Bill Henneway, Korostany Lkhavin
MID- Rorick Cliff, Jack Goldman, Louis Rostanhar
RW- Aman Gussam,
LW- Lendrick Carman
FWD- John Corstan, Ryan Woqan, Fiarino Torstalvan
Manager: Derrick Hostam
Rivals: Kratz
Summary: Disappointment was the key word for last season. A strong side became a very mediocre side. It may just be a bump in the road but they MUST improve over the season in order to make anything happen. Hostam states that "It was just a bad season, we will definitely return to form after that sham". I don't think so Derrick, you did nothing to strengthen an already exposed side.
Predicted Placement: 10th


Overland
Nickname: Ducks
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Baltimore Avenue Field
Formation: 4-2-1-3
Roster:
DEF- Edic Olson, Rennix Dragan, Olson Twine, Kleben Markovonich
MID- Grant Hughes, Leonardo Flantrow
AM- Brett Holmes,
FWD- Rhen Yunao, Giafreno Hallander, Henry Fontaine
GK- LaDell Jerabe
Manager: Franklin Tierna
Rivals: Normandy AC, Hoech
Summary: One of the surprises in the season also came up as a surprise when it came to smart transfers. They signed Henry Fontaine which bolsters an already strong attacking force. Holmes is moved into a position where he can thrive in and the defence has proven themselves to the nation. They definitely have the goods to gain a UICA spot and will be a force in the league.
Predicted Placement: 5th


Herbert Hoover
Nickname: Eagles
Location: Midtown, Inner City
Venue: Chain of Rocks Field
Formation: 2-3-5
Roster:
DEF- Loro Foster, Ambrose Hictor
MID- Carry Van Lojon, Rodney Morlov, Trevor Ghent
FWD- Viman Nigel, Flint Hardtack, William Olson, Gruji Alakhan, Marc Lkhevin
GK- Arwis Hityen
Manager: Riley Oranjen
Rivals: Riverview, Delmar Loop
Summary: The Eagles have been poached this season. A lot of the youth they were targeting went to other teams and key players left the club after a disastorous mishandling of contracts. This team may be relegation fodder this season and Oranjen will be sacked if that happens. In my opinion they have the strength to beat relegation.
Predicted Placement: 14th


Kratz
Nickname: Crusaders
Location: Easton, Maryland Heights
Venue: Maryland Heights Sports Complex
Formation: 3-3-2-2
Roster:

AM- Dock Hansen, Morris Tyler-Hanes
FWD- Blane Watson, Koldher Tithingham
GK- Ray Clovis
Manager: Matthew Harbangier
Rivals: Marvin
Summary: Relegation fodder. They struck out on the youth this season, they made no real signings that strengthen their squad when others have surpased them. It will be a painful experience but hey I said that about St. Ann last year so maybe there is hope.
Predicted Placement: 16th, Relegation


Nickname: Bears
Location: O'fallon, South River District
Venue: O'fallon Park
Formation: 3-2-2-1-2
Roster:
DEF- Mark Lyr, Frank Haus, Drake Halycian
DM- Glynt Hwal, Auternham Leonidas
MID- Kevin Graham, Oran Dunn
AM- Elias Fullham
FWD- Ryillan Carran, Oran Al-Afed
GK- Ryan Dunn
Manager: Jack Yuti
Rivals: (Huh, This is surprising...You could put the top of the table here I guess)
Summary: This team needs no introduction. It is a side which has lit up the league and made a star in Oran Al-Afed overnight. They are a nightmare to defenses but...their defense needs to prove themselves. They will win the league in my opinion but that back three HAVE to be solid, you can't lose the title because one guy ran through your defense.
Predicted Placement: 1st, Champions

AM- Regan Bateman (EFL)
FWD- Rock Hellan, Riley Cherneim, Carson Parr
GK- Riano Abria
Manager: Erik Kimzey (ETH)
Rivals: Herbert Hoover
Summary: This is truly, the wild card team. They look good... really good in fact. They will not be relegated, but I just can not be sure if they can mesh with all of the new signings they had. I will say Kimzey looks like a man who can manager a team up the table, do not be shocked if Riverview punch above their weight this season.
Predicted Placement: 11th


Nickname: Wolves

MID- Yidan Adlen, Patrick Corin, Yalldo Alekeih
FWD- Morton Hilder, Drinio Amber, Orton Anderson
Manager: Norlen Tartar
Rivals: Overland
Summary: The Wolves are a bit awkward now, they are developing but many teams are just signing and signing to get better. The fans and the staff believe in developing the youth but this season may be a bigger setback than you think
Predicted Placement: 13th


Nickname: Foxes
Location: Delmar Loop, Midtown, Inner City

MID- Henry Colloras, Deno Herenic
FWD- Vano Ligantes, Craig Rostby, Eddie Margaho, Lawrence Kane
GK- William Couver
Manager: Ryan Genchudo
Rivals: Herbert Hoover
Summary: Alright, they have very low expectations at the Lane and really, I concur. Nothing about this team screams "WE ARE GOOD" at all really they have strong players at midfield but everyone else are not premier league calibre. They will go down to the secondary league and really, everyone is expecting it.
Predicted Placement: 15th, Relegation


Nickname: Barbarians
Location: Normandy, Metropolitana
Venue: Warrior's Field (Shared with Normandy)
Formation: 2-2-2-3-1

RW- Gregory Lavarakh
FWD- Morris Clayton, Duncan Hellen, Reed Magravorsch
LFWD- Emmanuel Afolayan (APX)
GK- Willhelm Goodman (NPH)
Manager: Brandon Hortile
Rivals: Overland, St. Ann
Summary: This team is very good for being a relegation side. Being very aggressive in the transfer window and swooping up youth prospects and veterans alike. Is it wrong to say that they are really mid-table? no, not in the slightest now. With Afolayan up front and a decent support around him, he will be flying.

CHAMPIONS CUP 1st LEG (1st Preliminary Round)
4-1


GLOBE CUP 1st LEG (1st Preliminary Round)
1-1 KT FERRAMENDIAK
1-0
1-1 OLYMPIQUE IMGEUM-SI

Not a bad day overall for Ritenourian Teams. Hoccol gained a hat trick from a surprising amount of offense while the defense only conceded one in the dying minutes of the game. Herbert Hoover managed to do surprisingly well against the Audioslavian side KT Ferramendiak with Lkhevin putting in one goal. Unfortunately they conceded one as well and thus head in to the second leg tied. O'Fallon loses their away game against Ibini FC conceding a goal with some poor, poor defending. St. John drew with Olympiwue Imgeum-Si thus they head into the second leg of the match with the pressure building against them.

MATCHDAY 1
Bristol 2-1 Normandy AC
Delmar Loop 1-3 Hoech
Tudor 1-1 Riverview
Ritenour North 0-0 O'Fallon
Ritenour South 4-1 Kratz
St. John 1-1 St. Ann
St. John United 3-3 Herbert Hoover
Marvin 4-1 Overland

Bristol welcomed Normandy AC to the Premier league with a 2-1 win. Hoccol came up with the two goals in the 34th and 55th minute with some crisp passing coming from the back. Afolayan scored the consolation goal in the 88th and thus the expected result was given. Hoech lit up Delmar Loop badly. Delmar Loop definitely did were not ready for the pressure Hoech was bringing to the table. Hilder, Amber, and Anderson scored in the first half and Delmar's consolation came in the 84th minute. Riverview and Tudor fight to a draw with goals from Parr and Glannao. O'Fallon and Ritenour North gave a surprising result in the form of a 0-0 draw filled with missed opportunities. Ritenour South go into a fast start putting 4 straight past the Kratz defense. Kaldin scored two in the 50th and 60th minute while Jagoun and Dallersby combine in the 80th and 85th for two goals as well. St. John and St. Ann matched each other at St. John. With an Oramander goal in the 17th and a Cartweiler goal in the 41st. St. John United and Herbet Hoover drew in a high scoring match featuring a dubious penalty at the 10th minute in which Cavalondo scored, then a free kick goal from Herbert Hoover's Trevor Ghent, then Nigel and Alakhan scored to round off the half. When we got back to the action Llonwan scored two quick goals to round off an exciting match. Then Marvin completely smashed Overland with Woqan scoring four...yes, FOUR goals for Marvin. It seemed that Overland's defenders were just off today however. So I expect them to tighten up.

MATCHDAY 2
Hoech 1-2 Bristol
Riverview 3-0 Normandy AC
O'Fallon 2-1 Delmar Loop
Kratz 3-1 Tudor
St. Ann 0-1 Ritenour North
Herbert Hoover 3-1 Ritenour South
Overland 1-3 St. John
Marvin 1-0 St. John United

Bristol defeat Hoech in a much more slower paced match. Hoccol and Larac score in familiar style while Hoech struggled to get an attack in. Riverview flat-out blanked Normandy AC with two goals from Carson Parr and another from Bateman. O'Fallon just barely survive Delmar Loop when in the 89th minute Al-Afed scored his second to put the bears ahead. Kratz surprised fans when they won 3-1 against Tudor with two goals from Tithingham and a Blane Watson free kick goal to seal the deal. North get on to a good start with a 1-0 victory. Herbert Hoover crack Ritenour South 3-1 with a hat trick from Hardtack while South's porous defense showed how out of it they are. Overland continue to show poor form as they get walloped by St. John with two goals from Cartweiler and another one from Mandell all of this...in the first half. Poor poor Overland. Marvin grind out a 1-0 win against SJU, making Derrick Hostam's words eerily prophetic. This Marvin team seems so motivated now which makes it quite surprising.

MATCHDAY 3
Bristol 2-0 Riverview
Hoech 0-2 O'Fallon
Normandy AC 1-1 Kratz
Delmar Loop 0-1 St. Ann
Tudor 2-0 Herbert Hoover
Ritenour North 1-2 Overland
Ritenour South 1-0 Marvin
St. John 4-0 St. John United [DERBY]

Bristol shut out Riverview with two goals scored by Larac in the 70th and 78th minute to hand Bristol 3 more points. O'Fallon shut down Hoech with two goals scored by Al-Afed in the 45th and 67th minute to hand O'Fallon 3 more points. Normandy AC and Kratz earn a draw with Afolayan scoring the equalizer at the 88th minute to burst Kratz's bubble. St. Ann pulled ahead with a Oramander goal and never looked back, shutting down any chance Delmar Loop had at attacking the box. Tudor gain a 2-0 win against Herbert Hoover with a penalty goal by Herenti and a header by Worthington. Overland get on track with a win over North with Yunao FINALLY getting in on the scoring (What took him so long?). South also get a win over a Marvin who were getting hot, but then South's defense showed up today and they edged Marvin out. St. John crush SJU in the derby...again. Mandell scored two in the 50th and 70th, Cartweiler scored in the 23rd and Colm scored in the 45th minute as well.

CHAMPIONS CUP 2nd LEG (1st Preliminary Round)

GLOBE CUP 2nd LEG (1st Preliminary Round)
KT FERRAMENDIAK 2-0 (3-1)
3-1 (3-2)
1-0 (2-1) OLYMPIQUE IMGEUM-SI

3 out of 4 Ritenourian teams get through the first round of their competition. Bristol only let through one meaningless goal. O'Fallon Claws back with three goals (One from Al-Afed and two from Carran). St. John get their goal from Cartweiler to send them through and Herbert Hoover gets dropped by KT Ferramendiak

MATCHDAY 4
O'Fallon 2-1 Bristol
Kratz 1-1 Riverview
St. Ann 0-1 Hoech
Herbert Hoover 0-1 Normandy AC
Overland 5-3 Delmar Loop
Marvin 2-3 Tudor
St. John United 1-1 Ritenour North
St. John 1-0 Ritenour South

O'Fallon edge out Bristol in a huge match and handing Bristol their first loss of the season behind two Al-Afed goals assisted by Fullham and Dunn. Riverview and Kratz draw with the goals coming in the first half. Bateman assisted Hellan as they get the equalizer in the 67th. Kratz's goal came from Watson. Hoech beat out a slipping St. Ann team 1-0 off of the foot of the Anderson to give Hoech a much needed 3 points. Normandy AC claw back from devastating defeats to win 1-0 against Herbert Hoover, the Barbarians got the goal really early, in the 5th minute Afolayan scored and they never looked back. Overland Out-gun Delmar Loop 5-3 with a hat trick by Yunao and terrible defense from the Loop. Tudor beat Marvin with a penalty in the 91st minute. Henneway made a bad tackle which resulted in a red card and Marrow buried it for the win. SJU and Ritenour North draw epitomizing the less-than great season SJU are having with no wins to their name. St. John win 1-0 against South with a Mandell goal.

MATCHDAY 5
Bristol 5-2 Kratz
O'Fallon 2-2 St. Ann
Riverview 3-1 Herbert Hoover [DERBY]
Hoech 3-0 Overland [DERBY]
Normandy AC 5-4 Marvin
Delmar Loop 1-1 St. John United
Tudor 1-2 St. John
Ritenour North 1-0 Ritenour South [DERBY]

Kratz's inexperience showed with a 5-2 drubbing at Bristol today. Hoccol and Larac are putting on a great show in the league, and with their killer defense it seems that they are in an amazing position. O'Fallon dropped points that they should not have dropped in the first place. Riverview beats Herbert Hoover and gives Parr his first hat trick in his career (good for him) and embarrassing their rivals in the process. Hoech also embarrass their rivals 3-0 causing Overland fans to fight it out on the street with Hoech fans after the match. Normandy AC wins a Shootout against Marvin with Afolayan and Magravorsch combining for five. Delmar and SJU drew in a boring match. St. John win 2-1 with Cartweiler scoring a couple and North caused a riot in Overland when they beat South at the 89th minute when Chase scored.

Ritenour South 3-3 Delmar Loop
Ritenour North 2-2 Tudor

Bristol wavers against St. Ann. Fionta scored at the 40th minute and Oramander sealed it in the 81st. Bristol's lone goal came from Hoccol's tap-in at the 75th minute. Herbert Hoover continue to show that they are a good team without their poached players as Hardtack puts two in the net to give Herbert Hoover some breathing room. Overland were smashed at home with an Al-Afed hat trick and two more put past in the 89th and 91st minute by Fullham and Carran. Marvin continue to get results, this time by beat Riverview on a great free kick goal by Carman and some uncharacteristically shoddy defending by Riverview. St. John United pull Hoech down the table with a 3-1 victory off of goals by Llonwan and Wisstlan. Some say that Llonwan is being targeted by other teams in the league, but this put the doubts in the background, for now. St. John get an expected result against Normandy AC with a hat trick from Mandell. South and North tie their opponents with high scoring games.

Bristol downs Herbert Hoover with a Hoccol goal in the 50th via free kick. St. Ann and Overland both could not penetrate their opposition's defense and earn one point each. Marvin defeat Kratz in a derby which included chants of "Marvin, what at s***hole, what a s***hole, oh what a s***hole" and so on. O'Fallon run over SJU with two goals from Al-Afed with beautiful passing included. Riverview surprised St. John with marvelous attacking and gained a late equalizer from Bateman. Hoech and South draw earning one point each. Normandyh AC dampened Noth's spirits with a grind-like 1-0 win with Afolayan getting a goal off of a counter-attack. Delmar Loop obliterated Tudor with goals from Rostby and Kane

Tudor 1-1 Hoech
Delmar Loop 2-0 Normandy AC

Overland cruised against a usually solid defense. Unfortunately Yunao did not get that memo and he got a hat trick instead. Herbert Hoover just outright annihilated Marvin with Hardtack, Olson, Ghent, and Lkhevin scoring goals. SJU get a much needed win versus St. Ann, albeit St. Ann looked horrible off the ball today. St. John grinds out a win versus a bottom of the table Kratz team which helped the team forget about Bateman's equalizer. O'Fallon beat out South with a 70th minute goal from Lyr of all people with a header off of a corner. Riverview get another draw off of North this time which basically slides them further down the table really. Hoech also slides down with a draw against Tudor with a penalty being the equalizer for Tudor (which made Hoech fans spit at the field in disgust). Delmar Loop get another win and are climbing up ever so slowly out of the bottom of the table with goals from Rostby and...Kane again.

Riverview 3-0 Delmar Loop
Hoech 0-0 Normandy AC

Bristol get the characteristic shut out victory against Marvin. Larac scored the two goals while Bristol's defense roughened up Marvin's forwards. Overland just barely beat out St. John United with a late goal by Fontaine to put Overland further up the table. Herbert Hoover has scored 10 goals in two games with a completely unbelievable performance against St. John (which really puts in perspective if Herbert Hoover were really dependent of those who transferred out of the club). St. Ann and South draw which became boring so quickly to be honest. North beat out Kratz with a pretty good chip goal by Hillenkeller. O'Fallon and Tudor play a game of missed opportunities in their 0-0 draw. Riverview smash up Delmar Loop with two goals from Parr and another from Hellan. Finally, Hoech and Normandy AC draw which gives Hoech its third consecutive draw.

Hoech 2-1 Riverview

Alright, Bristol just ended SJU's season. No seriously, no team can ever play that badly and NOT be relegated. Hoccol scored FIVE. Larac scored two and Imabata scored just to make sure the embarrassment was completed. Truly a painful game to watch. Then St. John drew a dreary game with Marvin. Overland get two more from Yunao and are looking quite sharp now. North continue to impress as they sneak into 4th place with a win over Herbert Hoover. St. Ann finally get a convincing win over a team who are not in the best of shape at the moment. Delmar Loop climbs up to 12th with a win over Kratz (Who only have 5 points in the season). Normandy AC manage to slow O'Fallon down and drew with them. Hoech finally get a win after countless draws when Alekeih headed it in so Hoech can earn their 3 points.

St. Ann 0-3 Normandy AC
Kratz 3-3 Hoech
O'Fallon 0-1 Riverview

St. John and Bristol shot and carved through each other all day. Each teams' defenses were out of it, the fans were chanting at each other some...questionable chants like "Frost f***ed off, cuz you all suck, Frost f***ed off cuz you all suck", or "Bristol, a club for school girls and pervs!". SJU win in a substantial game that pulls them out of the relegation zone. North continue to get good results by beating Marvin away, and being the most unlikely team to be in the top 4 right now. Tudor win their match against Overland, who have had terrible home form this season. Delmar Loop win with Rostby and Kane's goals. Normandy AC get a really good result and Afolayan, Magravorsch, and Clayton getting goals. Kratz and Hoech draw in disappointing fashion albeit, the game was going back and forth for a good while. O'Fallon dropped three points against Riverview when they let Carson Parr get a penalty in the 85th minute to pull the rams up the table again.

South get a surprising result against Bristol with two goals coming from Kaldin and Jagoun. St. John get an away win against a surprisingly decent Ritenour North side. SJU continue their run of good form with a win at Tudor which slowly pulls them further up the table. Delmar Loop and Marvin take one point each with a 0-0 draw. Normandy AC get a 2-0 result over a wildly inconsistent Overland side. Seriously, Overland gets destroyed by teams then it destroys others, there is no middle ground with this group. Herbert Hoover continue to do very well with a win over a slightly declining Hoech side. Hardtacke got the winning goal in the 70th off of a corner. Riverview drew St. Ann with Bateman assisting Rock Hellan for the equalizer, Fionta scored in the 20th. O'Fallon get back on track with a grindy win over Kratz who have been in poor form since day one of the league.

Herbert Hoover 2-1 O'Fallon
St. Ann 1-0 Kratz

Bristol built a wall and North could not get in to it. When Hoccol scored in the 11th they went into a very defensive tactic and they came out winners. South and Tudor scored four each and get a very disappointing draw really. Each time one person scored, the other team scored as well to counter act it which was exciting but disappointing as there was no decisive result. St. John obliterate Delmar Loop with quite the passing game and the finisher was usually Cartweiler, Mandell or Ilidivoci. SJU and Normandy AC end up with a tie but neither really moved on the table. Marvin killed off any hope that Hoech could get back on track with a 4-1 victory: Torstalvan and Woqan got 2 goals each as well. Overland win a slow paced game against Riverview. Herbert Hoover catches O'Fallon off guard and O'Fallon drop more points. St. Ann defeat Kratz to cap off a pitiful 13 games for the Crusaders.

St. Ann 1-1 Herbert Hoover

Bristol ran away with their Derby game against Tudor which leaves Tudor's manager in the hot seat (Not winning against your rivals and being in the relegation zone as well would do that do a manager). North win 1-0 against Delmar Loop with a pretty early goal. South also get a result against Normandy AC but their manager is almost all but sacked at this point. When interviewed Talon says "If they think I need to go, I need to go". Hoech spoiled St. John's aspirations for first with a 2-1 win at home. Riverview shut down SJU with goals from Bateman and Cherneim to stop SJU's good form. O'Fallon get out of their slumping form with a 4-1 drubbing against Marvin with Al-Afed scoring twice. Overland Drub Kratz as per the usual and St. Ann drew with Herbert Hoover to end the day off on an ok note.

Bristol continue their good form with a 2-0 win over Delmar Loop who are flirting with the relegation zone. Tudor and Normandy AC draw which makes Tudor slip even further down the table into the relegation zone. North get their eighth win of the season with a win over Hoech with a real grind-out type of style developing from the North side. South and Riverview fight to a draw and there is no surprise, Talon is out after the game and replaced by Matt Hawthorne for now. O'Fallon regain some ground in the title race by beating St. John. Kratz get a much needed win over SJU but it may not be enough. Marvin grind out a win over St. Ann and are in the running for a potential UICA spot (even though we are only halfway through the season). Overland completely obliterated Herbert Hoover 6-1 with Yunao getting 4 goals in the process.

Bristol barely beat out Normandy AC in their rematch with a Larac goal in the 89th minute to send Barbarian fans reeling. Hoech and Delmar Loop draw disappointingly. Riverview climb up to sixth place when they beat Tudor 2-1. North continue their unlikely form with a 1-0 win over O'Fallon. South and Kratz draw which leaves Kratz with only 10 points in the season.

Bristol clean up Hoech with goals from Hoccol, Ormachel, and Larac. Bristol have not been the stiffest defense this season but their offensive prowess is making up for it in spades, running over the opposition. Riverview and Normandy AC draw with a goal from Parr and Afolayan at the first half, in the second half both teams missed great chances and end up with an unfavorable draw. Delmar Loop get a surprising result against O'Fallon, shutting them down and getting the golden goal at the 70th with Ligantes' chip. Tudor ran all over Kratz with six goals scored in the nine goal game: Herenti, Glannao, Worthington, Glass, and Marrow got goals today. North defeat St. Ann and are showing that the last year of development has payed off with beautiful football coming from the young lads and the older veterans and their defense lets almost nobody get goals. Herbert Hoover push South to the brink of RELEGATION with their win. St. John beat down Overland with a hat trick from Cartweiler to add to an impressive season for the man. The Royals beat SJU away with a goal from Torstalvan in the 23rd.

Bristol edge out Riverview in a grind-like fashion. They played a slower game and picked out when they wanted to attack, keeping the majority of possession. Hoech edge out O'Fallon in an amazing game, Al-Afed finally looked like his old self, but the defense lets him down when Amber ran through them for the game winning goal in the 91st. Kratz and Normandy draw which does not help Kratz in the slightest in their attempt to get out of the relegation zone. St. Ann beat out a sluggish Loop team, instead of looking like Foxes, they looked like slugs instead. Herbert Hoover dropped points in a bad way, letting Tudor equalize with an own goal, tragic stuff really. Overland get three points with two goals from Yunao to push up the table Marvin also climb up with a 2-0 victory over the struggling Ritenour South. SJU get their first win in a year and a half against St. John with a 2-0 win and they push totally out of the relegation zone, for now.

Ritenour South 2-2 St. John

Bristol draw with O'Fallon, earning both teams a point while benefiting Bristol, just puts O'Fallon on the outside of the title race. Riverview get an almost guaranteed three points against a poor Kratz team, who may have lost the will to compete at this stage. Hoech and St. Ann get a point each with Oramander saving the Saints at the 80th minute. Normandy AC drag Herbert Hoover down the table with a crushing win as Hellen gets his first hat trick in the Premier League. The Loop and Overland were trying to penetrate each other's walls with no success, ending with no goals. Tudor stops Marvin's good form with a goal that puts them safely above relegation. SJU climb higher and higher with a big win over North. South and St. John draw, leading the Stars to drop crucial points in the title race.

Well, if you can give the Crusaders a compliment, they can definitely still hang with teams...sort of. They got an incredible draw against Bristol, but it was overshadowed by the fact that many teams are eyeing Blane Watson in the off season if Kratz get relegated. O'Fallon try to draw themselves in to the title race again and do so with a 4-2 win over the Saints, with Al-Afed scoring all four goals and going hard in full force. Riverview and Herbert Hoover had a big brawl in their game, no one was hurt but many bookings were placed between the two clubs. Overland go to fifth place and put them in range for a UICA spot. Marvin also are approaching that UICA spot with a win over the Barbarians. SJU blasted Delmar Loop out of St. John with Llonwan and Cavalondo burying the foxes with goals. St. John pick up an expected three points over Tudor and North get another win against South, sweeping them in their derby this season to the horror of Huskies fans when they realized they are in the Relegation Zone.

Tudor 0-2 Ritenour North

St. Ann trying to recapture last season's form has drawn with Bristol. Hoccol and Oramander both scored in the second half nut neither could get a decisive result out of it. Herbert Hoover win against regular punching bags Kratz. The Bears obilterated the Ducks in O'Fallon with a hat trick from Al-Afed and four goals from Dunn and Fullham. Riverview and Marvin get a draw to the dissatisfaction of every fan involved, Parr got an own goal and redeemed himself with another straight after. Hoech and SJU draw as well, but SJU are quietly making a big run for a UICA spot as well. St. John get a quite predictable result as Mandell and Cartweiler struck again. South can not get out of the relegation zone with a draw against relegation rivals Delmar Loop. North cling on to their 4th place spot with a win over Tudor at Ritenour Field.

Tudor 1-3 Delmar Loop

Bristol defeat Herbert Hoover and continue their run at the top of the table. Overland come back from their humiliating defeat with a goal from Yunao to push them forward. Marvin defeats Kratz in their derby match, fueling tensions even further when Corstan celebrated in front of the Kratz fans. O'Fallon stopped SJU's good run of form and cling on to the 3rd place position. Riverview draws with St. John which leaves Bristol with some breathing room. Hoech wins 2-1 and puts South in a precarious position, as they are still in the relegation zone when they should be mid-table at the very least. North and Normandy draw 0-0 with a missed penalty by Olatvyen epitomizing the bad luck these two teams had. The Loop get out of the relegation zone with a win over Tudor, Herenic and Margaho scored the goals that pushed the Foxes out.

Hoech 3-0 Tudor
Normandy AC 2-1 Delmar Loop

Bristol defeat Overland as expected, Larac and Hoccol are a truly devastating duo and with the defense that they have their second league win in a row seems more and more likely with each passing day. Marvin along with six other teams are gunning for that 4th place spot and it showed as they raced to a 3-0 lead and sat on it after the first half. SJU continue to push up the table and challenge for a UICA spot as they defeat a disappointing St. Ann 2-1. Kratz drew with St. John in amazing fashion coming back from 3-1 down but it still does not do them any favors and only put St. John in a disadvantage. O'Fallon get a goal from Carran at the 30th minute and never looked back but they are still stuck in 3rd. Riverview gets a much needed win against North to get them back into the UICA race with two coming from Rock Hellan. Hoech stomp out Tudor with a magnificent hat trick from Morton Hilder. Normandy AC defeat the Foxes even though they may be out of the UICA race.

Normandy AC 1-1 Hoech

Bristol keep their lead with two Larac goals against Marvin. SJU keep their UICA hopes alive by defeating Overland with Llonwan and Cavalondo getting the goals. Herbert Hoover put St. John firmly in 2nd place with a 1-0 win. St. Ann win a very meaningless game in the big picture, South have been awful this season and St. Ann has also been dreadful as well. North defeat the whipping boys with a goal from Helas, who has been the team's heart and soul. Tudor put a dent in O'Fallon's title race with a win that should not have happened. Tudor got a penalty from a Frank Haus booking and Worthington slots it in. Riverview's Carson Parr got four goals on the night as Delmar fans look on in terror. Normandy AC and Hoech draw to close out another matchday.

Riverview 0-0 Hoech


Bristol fans were shocked when Llonwan scored the game winner in St. John today. SJU are only 4 points out of UICA play while Bristol have a 3 point lead in the title race. St. John grinds out a in against Marvin with a Marco goal in the 23rd. South while being of questionable quality completely devastated Overland today (They seem to blow out clubs when they win). The Eagles and North gain one point each. St. Ann defeat Tudor with two Oramander goals. Kratz get a much needed win over Delmar but they still can't get out of last place. The last two games became 0-0 draws to my disappointment

Normandy AC 0-0 St. Ann
Hoech 0-2 Kratz
Riverview 1-1 O'Fallon

Hoccol and Marco scored the goals in the Bristol-St. John match, but no one could get a decisive edge over each other, and of course the chants were on point. Both teams were trying to play slowly and win just barely which lead to an indecisive result at best. SJU are going on the warpath as they secure another win against South, Llonwan refuses claims that he is on the move after the seasn but, we'll see about that. Marvin put a dent into North's lead over fourth place with a 4-0 thrashing in Overland. Tudor and Overland score six goals between them, but no real decisive result ever came out of the match, leading these two teams stranded in the middle of the table. Delmar Loop bring themselves closer to safety with a win over local rivals Herbert Hoover. Normandy AC and St. Ann play to a disappointing draw in Normandy. Kratz, even with a win over Hoech are still not out of the bottom and it may be too little too late for the Crusaders. Riverview also put O'Fallon on the outside of the title race with a draw in Riverview.

MATCHDAY 27

St. John 0-1 Ritenour North
St. John United 2-2 Tudor
Marvin 1-0 Delmar Loop
Overland 3-2 Normandy AC
Herbert Hoover 6-1 Hoech
St. Ann 0-1 Riverview
Kratz 1-1 O'Fallon

Bristol march on with a win over South and Larac gets a hat trick this time around, with Arnold also getting a goal. North dents St. John's championship hopes with a win away, while they fight for the fourth place position and the last Globe Cup spot. SJU drop points in a match against Tudor, Manager Reginald Bellworth said "This was a disappointing result, we fully expected to win and give ourselves the fourth place spot unshared." Marvin get a win and put pressure on SJU and North as they are racing to catch up. Overland win a really close but decisive match against Normandy AC but they are outsiders for the UICA spot for now. Herbert Hoover put Hoech in their place scoring six and having Olson, Alakhan, Ghent and Lkhevin score. Riverview put themselves in the race for fourth place winning at St. Ann while O'Fallon drop points to a Kratz team stricken with Relegation.

MATCHDAY 28
Ritenour North 1-1 Bristol
Tudor 2-1 Ritenour South
Delmar Loop 1-3 St. John
Normandy AC 2-4 St. John United
Hoech 1-5 Marvin
Riverview 1-1 Overland
O'Fallon 2-0 Herbert Hoover
Kratz 1-1 St. Ann

North and Bristol drew, giving St. John the chance to gain ground on Bristol as Bristol drops points. Tudor put South down in the relegation zone again with two goals scored in five minutes. St. John defeat Delmar and gain ground on the Lightning, making Bristol fans very uncomfortable that their season would end like the Stars' season last year. SJU capture sole possession of fourth by one point as they beat a Normandy AC team who are relatively safe. Marvin keep their hopes alive with a 5-1 drubbing at Hoech. Riverview are out of the race for fourth place right now due to their draw against Overland. O'Fallon keep 3rd place with a win over The Eagles at home. Fans must be asking where this Kratz team was in the beginning of the season, since they are consistently competing now.

MATCHDAY 29
Bristol 1-0 Tudor [DERBY]
Ritenour North 1-1 Delmar Loop
Ritenour South 3-1 Normandy AC
St. John 7-0 Hoech
St. John United 2-0 Riverview
Marvin 0-4 O'Fallon
Overland 1-1 Kratz
Herbert Hoover 1-1 St. Ann

Bristol win the title! there is no hope for St. John to catch up and the title race is truly over...North still have a chance at a UICA spot with a draw with Delmar Loop, who are fighting relegation. South get a win and now Delmar and South are separated by two points, their relegation will be decided on the final day. St. John take their frustrations out on Hoech, scoring seven goals. SJU keep fourth place with a win over Riverview. O'Fallon are just holding on to 3rd place now when they defeat Marvin. Kratz and Overland, with nothing to play for just play for the draw. Same for Hoover and St. Ann.

Time for the commentary, South need to win in order to get out of relegation on goal difference after Delmar gets a draw at home, SJU need to win after North won at Riverview.

"Riverview have been holding South down pretty well here, it has been fifty minutes with no goal on either side to show for their efforts. Honta has the ball, now it's to Glantow, he passes it to Harthon, then Dallersby. Dallersby shoots, and it's deflected and SHOT BACK IN BY KALDIN! This may be the goal that gets South out of relegation! and the away fans know it as well!"

"Wisstlan is lining up for the free kick, he has good accuracy from long range. He shoots and it goes IN! and United are up one-nil in Maryland Heights!". "Caluhan tries to pass the ball, it is intercepted by Llonwan, LLONWAN IS IN NOW! HE ONLY HAS THE KEEPER TO BEAT AND... IT'S IN! IT'S IN! UNITED ARE SURELY GOING TO THE GLOBE CUP, THANKS TO LLONWAN AND WISSTLAN'S GOALS!"

Bristol
Nickname: Lightning
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John & St. John United)
Formation: 3-3-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Martin Callway, Ronald Hunter, Alouis Arnold
MID- Horace Alcanayes, Dujon Elbryne, Terry Jackson
AM- Gregory Imabata, Tyler Ormachel
FWD- Richard Larac, Martin Hoccol
GK- Garret Macclesfield
Manager: Theodore Almocovite
Rivals: Tudor, St. John, Creve Coeur
Summary: Almocovite's men have been on top of Ritenour for two years, displaying great football at both halfs with a tight back three in Callway, Hunter, and Arnold. The only big change from this starting eleven is the decision to bench Amawon for a young hot-shot from Imperial named Dujon Elbryne. Even with that change it seems that Bristol are just too good of a team to keep from UICA qualifying at the very least and expectations are very high in St. John.
Predicted Placement: 2nd


Tudor
Nickname: Raptors
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Ritenour South)
Formation: 4-2-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Carry Lagano, Alan Haystes, Reed Montero, Reymond Falter
MID- Mark Harrasher, Henry Glass
RW- Dexter Marrow,
LW- Trent Herenti
FWD- Yourish Glannao, Tyler Worthington
GK- Ulrich Garamido
Manager: Tydonnus Lennenkov
Rivals: Bristol
Summary: More youth from Lennenkov's side as Tudor look like a good candidate for mid-table again. I know Tudor fans believe in a project but this may be Lennenkov's job if they can not race to challenge for top 4 and with the squad they have...It looks very unlikely they will be challenging for anything other than mid-table again.
Predicted Placement: 10th


Ritenour North
Nickname: The Flash
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour South and Tudor)
Formation: 4-2-2-2
Roster:
DEF- Bryce Pierce, Rick Marat, Drake Hortien, Jerod Kerodian
MID- Louis Lawson, Matt Horschager
W- Dion Zerrado, Gary Hillenkeller
FWD- Andrew Helas, Norten Chase
GK- Alais Edroux
Manager: Grant Louick
Rivals: Ritenour South
Summary: This team had a certain aura around them last season. They were in the top 4 for all of last year untill SJU came in and took it from them. This year it also looks very unlikely that they will reach top 4 with what other teams have added (St. Ann anyone?), BUT the future is looking real bright for The Flash.
Predicted Placement: 6th


Ritenour South
Nickname: Huskies
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Ritenour Field (Shared with Ritenour North and Tudor)
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Marcus Halberg, Kraig Honta, Leon Progenno
MID- Raymond Haus, John Glantow, Remorno Paciatto
FWD- Theodore Jagoun, Sidas Young, Ronald Harthon, Andersone Grinna
GK- Lester Norckambe
Manager: Harry Kior
Rivals: Ritenour North
Summary: Oh dear, ohhhh dear. This club is almost destined for a collapse and relegation. They barely avoided relegation last year but their strikers were poached by Creve Coeur and rumors of locker room tensions make this club ripe for relegation.
Predicted Placement: 15th, Relegated


St. Ann
Nickname: Saints
Location: St. Ann, Metropolitana
Venue: Pattonville Sports Complex
Formation: 4-3-3
Roster:
DEF- Indas Flynbawin, William Bragga, Melo Dangrieu (SCU), Martin O'Donnel
MID- Pacha Avane, Daniel Afforea, Holden Markean,
FWD- Ki Niro (CMT), Blane Watson, Brandon Fionta
GK- Ryley Redmond
Manager: Thrano Heiklapanos
Rivals: Normandy AC
Summary: This team looks like a scoring machine. Niro, Watson, and Fionta with the supportive midfield of Avane, Afforea, and Markean with Flynbawin and Bragga plus another big signing with Dangrieu and this team is dangerous. They will surely get a UICA spot, but the big question would be chemistry. It would be hard to argue why this team should not be top 4.
Predicted Placement: 3rd


St. John
Nickname: Stars
Location: St John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John United and Bristol)
Formation: 3-3-4
Roster:
DEF- Bray Harandis, Tyler Colm, Florence Tarradis
MID- Giovanni Marco, Herman Colman-Ango, Ardlen Ranger
FWD- Dean Cartweiler, Art Mandell, Dimitrius West, Dartlund Ilidivoci
GK- Horatio Hillman
Manager: Ron Johnston
Rivals: Bristol, St. John United, Creve Coeur
Summary: Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry. It's what this club was built on and it is what this club will keep building on. The young players are taking their strides and the Cartweiler-Mandell show is going to reach its peak. With Marco retiring after this season St. John are extra motivated to gain a title and they will get it in my estimation.
Predicted Placement: 1st, Champions


St. John United
Nickname: Dolphins
Location: St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: St. John's Field (Shared with St. John and Bristol)
Formation: 4-4-2
Roster:
DEF- Henry Gorano, Drake Pilfirz, Ray Hardon. Willford Bremmen
MID- Malik Trossforn (SCU), Quinn Horton, Brenden Hellentruth, Issac Gornum
FWD- Victor Cavalondo, Derrick Wisstlan
GK- Craig Jupiter
Manager: Reginald Bellworth
Rivals: St. John, Creve Couer (No derby)
Summary:This is why my summaries are not the most credible, THIS United team managed 4th place while beating St. John, and getting good results from O'Fallon and Bristol. They are not a team to be trifled with (Especially with the new additions of Loba and Roque) but they are weak up front with the transfer of Llonwan to Marvin therefore they have a more defensive formation. They may not make the UICA again but it is nice to see United back on its feet.
Predicted Placement: 5th


Overland
Nickname: Ducks
Location: Overland, Outer City
Venue: Baltimore Avenue Field
Formation: 4-2-1-3
Roster:
DEF- Edic Olson, Rennix Dragan, Olson Twine, Kleben Markovonich
MID- Grant Hughes, Leonardo Flantrow
AM- Brett Holmes,
FWD- Rhen Yunao, Giafreno Hallander, Henry Fontaine
GK- LaDell Jerabe
Manager: Franklin Tierna
Rivals: Normandy AC, Hoech
Summary: Last season was a rough one for Overland. This transfer season proved no different but this still is a strong side. Unfortunately, their dreams of UICA qualification may not come true this season as other teams have completely improved while Overland did...nothing. Hopefully Tierna has a plan.
Predicted Placement: 9th



Nickname: Eagles
Location: Midtown, Inner City
Venue: Chain of Rocks Field
Formation: 2-1-2-5
Roster:
DEF- Loro Foster, Ambrose Hictor
DM/CB- Mixeria (MTH)
MID- Carry Van Lojon, Trevor Ghent
FWD- Viman Nigel, Flint Hardtack, William Olson, Gruji Alakhan, Marc Lkhevin
GK- Arwis Hityen
Manager: Riley Oranjen
Rivals: Riverview, Campbell
Summary: Me and my big mouth eh? Last season I predicted this side to be 14th...they turned out to challenge for a top 4 spot. This time I will not make the same mistake, and the addition of Mixeria may provide the fluidity the team desperately needed.
Predicted Placement: 7th


O'Fallon
Nickname: Bears
Location: O'fallon, South River District
Venue: O'fallon Park
Formation: 3-2-2-3
Roster:
DEF- Mark Lyr, Frank Haus, Drake Halycian
DM- Glynt Hwal, Auternham Leonidas
MID- Kevin Graham, Oran Dunn
FWD- Ryillan Carran, Oran Al-Afed, Fimponna Oramander
GK- Martell Lasange (SEM)
Manager: Jack Yuti
Rivals: (Still no rivals)
Summary: Well, people are going to hate me for this, but O'Fallon has slipped a little bit. Sure the addition of Oramander and the new Goalkeeper Lasagne helps, but I feel like the loss of Fullham could disrupt the fluid play and the movement of the team as a whole. "They will claw their way to a UICA spot" I would reluctantly say.
Predicted Placement: 4th


Marvin
Nickname(s): Stars, Royals
Location: Northern St. John, Metropolitana
Venue: Marvin Athletic Fields
Formation: 2-3-2-3
Roster:
DEF- Bill Henneway, Korostany Lkhavin
MID- Rorick Cliff, Jack Goldman, Louis Rostanhar
RW- Aman Gussam,
LW- Lendrick Carman
FWD- John Corstan, Fyntan Llonwan, Fiarino Torstalvan
Manager: Craus Heller
Rivals: Creve Coeur (No derby)
Summary: My predictions are terrible sometimes, I did not expect the Royals to come out and fight for a top 4 spot till the end. I expected a genuine lack of team interest. However, with the addition of Llonwan and development of their other players. This team can play with any team but the managerial situation may hurt them as Hostam went to Blashpool City to help them out.
Predicted Placement: 8th


Riverview
Nickname: Rams
Location: Riverview, North River
Venue: Riverfront Park
Formation: 3-3-1-3
Roster:
DEF- Robert Mantau, Deeney Halpfores, Miguel Muniz (OSR)
MID- Plaiodonis Renando, Greg Hallon, Maikhar Øllea (SCU), Marvinio Kelpfer,
AM- Regan Bateman (EFL)
FWD- Rock Hellan, Riley Cherneim, Carson Parr
GK- Riano Abria
Manager: Erik Kimzey (ETH)
Rivals: Herbert Hoover
Summary: These mid-table spots are so hard to predict, each team has really good talent and my predictions have always been terrible. So Riverview's 10th place prediction is certainly not set in stone at all. I like the development of Parr and the intense aura Kimzey brings to the team, but so many other teams have been improving and building on what they did before.
Predicted Placement: 10th


Hoech
Nickname: Wolves
Location: West Overland, Suburba
Venue: Dorshalter Hoech Field
Formation: 4-3-3
Roster:
DEF- Pata Forlan, Aricio Dengrad, Maurice Keppler, Johnathan Hattuo
MID- Yidan Adlen, Patrick Corin, Yalldo Alekeih
FWD- Morton Hilder, Drinio Amber, Orton Anderson
Manager: Norlen Tartar
Rivals: Overland
Summary: Nothing's changed at all from this team, thus my prediction does not change either, they still are developing and they will maintain a spot towards the end of the table and maybe...relegation
Predicted Placement: 14th


Normandy AC
Nickname: Barbarians
Location: Normandy, Metropolitana
Venue: Warrior's Field (Shared with Normandy)
Formation: 2-2-2-3-1
Roster:
DEF- Niles Hering, Flynn Geranger
MID- Dustlov Florik, Gembanen Igravov
LW- Nadayel Olatvyen
RW- Gregory Lavarakh
FWD- Morris Clayton, Duncan Hellen, Reed Magravorsch
LFWD- Emmanuel Afolayan (APX)
GK- Willhelm Goodman (NPH)
Manager: Brandon Hortile
Rivals: Overland, St. Ann
Summary: Great first season, but I fear the incoming sophmore slump for this team. They added no one really special on the team, last year revealed how choppy their play is and how they can be exposed. I do not see a very good season for the Barbarians
Predicted Placement: 12th


Campbell
Nickname: Destroyers
Location: Campbell, Kirkwood
Venue: Withenmeyer Family Stadium
Formation: 4-3-2-1
Roster:
DEF- Severin Ilya (CMT), Jordan Hendertho, Alquazar Al-Burwah, Terrion Barhain
MID- Aldor Venbrommen, Ria Caldona, Reed Relbridge
FWD- Jackir Vordain, Francis Harlon,
ST- Moussa Al-Kebwek (QUE)
GK- Durk Lejuain
Manager: Brandon Hortile
Rivals: Herbert Hoover
Summary: Alright, with the tools this team has they may scrape out of relegation. I only predict them to be relegated because the likelihood of a team getting promoted twice in a row and staying in the Premier league is very slim. Do not be shocked if they do make it with their 4-3-2-1 pyramid style of play and Kebwek having all of the faith in the world being given to him.
Predicted Placement: 16th, Relegated


Creve Coeur
Nickname: Colons
Location: Spoede, Creve Coeur
Venue: Sportif Field
Formation:
Roster: 4-4-2
DEF- Gregory Gino, Roque (MTH), Loba (MTH), Fillip Marrow
MID- Mick Harrow, Djuna Albofor, Trevor Flynn, Istrius Camera
FWD- Leonardo Dallersby, Richard Kaldin
GK- Melenios Destelios
Manager: Brandon Hortile
Rivals: St. John, Bristol, SJU (No derby), Marvin (No derby)
Summary: The most hated team in St. John for reasons I will go into when we get into the season. This is going to be a difficult summary as I myself do not like this club, I do like what players it has signed but man the stigma turns me off. I do like their players as they built up their attack and solidified their defense. They should not be relegated (but hopefully they are).
Predicted Placement: 13th

[Ritenour]

(NGD) Lexington Victory 2-0 St. John United
O'Fallon 2-0 Mexicalito (MTH)

Two different results for the Ritenour teams in the first qualifying round of the Globe Cup. SJU loses their first leg away to the Lexington Victory with bad defense and a tired looking SJU team overall. O'Fallon on the other hand had 2 Al-Afed goals propel them to an advantage in the 3rd minute and 47th minute.

MATCHDAY 1
Bristol 5-2 Campbell
Tudor 1-0 Creve Coeur
Ritenour North 0-1 Normandy AC
Ritenour South 4-2 Hoech
St. Ann 2-2 Riverview
St. John 0-1 O'Fallon
St. John United 2-0 Herbert Hoover
Marvin 0-0 Overland

Bristol welcomes Campbell to the Premier League with a 5-2 beatdown, Hoccol scored two goals, Larac scored two goals and Elbryne immediately makes an impact with another to seal the deal. Tudor grind it out against the Colons and come away with a 1-0 win, Worthington scored the only goal in the 60th minute. Normandy AC also get a big win over North getting an early goal via Hellen's free kick. South win a fast paced game against a relatively unchanged Hoech side with two goals from Jagoun, a goal from Young, and another from Haus to seal it. Heoch's goal scorers were Amber and Corin. St. Ann's fresh new offense did well against a rugged Riverview defense, Niro scored both of the Saints' goals via crosses from Fionta while Parr and Hellan scored for the Rams. St. John suffer a huge defeat against O'Fallon when a penalty which sent Ranger off gave Oramander his first goal of the season. SJU out-played Herbert Hoover with Wisstlan scoring two goals for the re-invigorated United side. Then a drab end to the night as Marvin and Overland play to a draw in Northern St. John.

MATCHDAY 2
Creve Coeur 0-3 Bristol [DERBY]
Normandy AC 2-1 Campbell
Hoech 1-1 Tudor
Riverview 1-1 Ritenour North
O'Fallon 2-0 Ritenour South
Herbert Hoover 2-4 St. Ann
Overland 1-4 St. John
Marvin 3-0 St. John United

Let me tell you why Creve Coeur is hated in St. John: The town of Creve Coeur used to house the perpetrators of 5 mass shootings in St. John. They were not caught for 3 years and when it was discovered that the town purposely housed them (for reasons still unknown) it spilled over to football very fast, every time Creve Coeur traveled to St. John they were booed, attacked, or both. The violence has settled down but the hatred is still there, when Hoccol or Elbryne scored the celebrations were often at the home fans. Normandy AC get a good win over Campbell with Clayton getting both goals for the Barbarians while Campbell's lone scorer was Al-Kebwek. Hoech and Tudor draw, Amber got Hoech's lone goal off of a penalty while Herenti scored a great goal for Tudor. Riverview and North also draw with Parr getting the Rams' lone goal while Norten Chase got a free kick goal through the wall in the 88th minute. O'Fallon gains three points via Oramander's two goals in the 60th and 70th minute off of set pieces (which South have defended woefully). St. Ann made their game into a shooting gallery with wonderful passing from the midfield to the front line, Niro scored one, Fionta scored one, and Watson gets two and all were assisted by midfielders. Hoover's lone scorer was Hardtack as usual. St. John dismantled Overland and Cartweiler-Mandell is gaining a ton of steam as the two strikers have assisted each other so often over the past three years. Marvin shock SJU with a blowout-type result and all three goals came in the first half. The scorers were: Llonwan and Gussam.

MATCHDAY 3
Bristol 2-1 Normandy AC
Creve Coeur 3-1 Hoech
Campbell 1-2 Riverview
Tudor 0-0 O'Fallon
Ritenour North 1-0 Herbert Hoover
Ritenour South 1-1 Overland
St. Ann 4-2 Marvin
St. John 4-0 St. John United [DERBY]

Bristol, to everyone's surprise only manage to scrape away a victory against Normandy AC. Hoccol scored the game winner in the 86th but the Barbarians were dominating in possession and shots the whole game which has many people questioning the desire of the team. Creve Coeur *sigh* has won 3-1 over Hoech; Flynn, Dallersby, an Camera scored for the Colons while Hoech's lone goal came from Amber. Riverview finally get back on track with a win over the whipping boys of the past three weeks Campbell. Cherneim and Halpfores scored the goals to seal the deal while Campbell's scorer was Vordain. Tudor and O'Fallon get the perennial 0-0 draw that no one wanted (Unless you're a St. Ann, St. John, or Bristol fan). North get a little of their form back as Helas scored them the winning goal in the 44th minute. South and Overland could never get things going against each other and the result was a 1-1 draw, Yunao scored for Overland while Young scored for South from a free kick. St. Ann become the shooting machine again, giving Niro her first hat trick in the league plus Watson tapping it in to seal it home whole Marvin faltered and could not keep up. Gussam and Llonwan scored. St. John humiliate United again 4-0, the scorers were the usual suspects: Mandell and Cartweiler and SJU could never, ever keep them out.

St. John United 0-0 (0-2) Lexington Victory (NGD)
(MTH) Mexicalito 3-5 (3-7) O'Fallon

SJU just lost all confidence after the loss to their rivals and really were not feeling it today, never even getting a shot off. Meanwhile O'Fallon wiped the floor with Mexicalito as Oramander gets two, Afed gets one, Carran gets another, and even Mark Lyr got a goal. What a day to be an O'Fallon fan.

MATCHDAY 4
Hoech 1-2 Bristol
Riverview 1-1 Normandy AC
O'Fallon 0-0 Creve Coeur
Herbert Hoover 0-0 Campbell
Overland 3-1 Tudor
Marvin 2-0 Ritenour North
St. John United 2-2 Ritenour South
St. John 1-7 St. Ann

Bristol in typical Bristol fashion, win a hard-fought game over Hoech. Hoccol getting both goals off of Larac assists marking this duo as one of the deadliest in the league. Hoech's scorer was again, Amber. Riverview got their hearts completely broken today. After Bateman's goal Normandy AC went into panic mode, but it did not matter as Afolayan shot a superb goal to take Normandy AC to a draw. O'Fallon has not been the offensive menace many thought it would be, they have only scored three goals and conceded NONE so far, it is quite ridiculous to see how they can get away with it, but points are points I guess. Hoover and Campbell also fight to a 0-0 draw as well, and it wasn't nearly as boring as O'Fallon-Creve Coeur. Overland looked great against Tudor, Yunao and Fontaine finally got something going for the team (plus they are actually playing defense) and thus the Ducks cruised to their first win. Marvin have broken into the top 4...I...can't believe it. After a terrible first season in the Premier League Marvin's team finally shows their worth and Torstalvan scores his first goals of the season. SJU still on a run of rough form draw with South with goals from Wisstlan and Trossforn while Jagoun scored both of South's goals. The REAL main event was St. Ann's beautiful 7-1 drubbing of St. John and TWO PEOPLE got hat tricks: Niro and Watson with Fionta getting five assists. It was truly magnificent.

MATCHDAY 5
Bristol 1-0 Riverview
Hoech 1-3 O'Fallon
Normandy AC 2-3 Herbert Hoover
Creve Coeur 1-0 Overland
Campbell 0-1 Marvin
Tudor 4-5 St. John United
Ritenour North 3-4 St. John
Ritenour South 1-2 St. Ann

Bristol has not been defeated in five games this season, with the defense of the Lightning proving to be their best asset and as long as Larac or Hoccol score, Bristol will come away with a win it seems. O'Fallon finally get over the offensive hump with Al-Afed and Carran scoring the goals over a limping and battered Hoech team, who's lone scorer was Amber...again. Normandy AC blew a point against Herbert Hoover, Afolayan scored just at the 87th minute, then Hoover rushed down and took one right back in the 89th via a penalty scored by Lkhevin. Creve Coeur are doing quite well for themselves unfortunately, but Kaldin scored the winner in the 67th minute over a really poor Overland side. Marvin cling onto fourth place with a grind-like win over Campbell (no-surprise) which saw Aman Gussam get a red, so he will be suspended for a game. Corstan scored the only goal in the 30th. SJU and Tudor played an off-the-wall match which saw goals scored by nine different people: Marrow, Herenti, Glannao, Glass for Tudor, then it was Cavalondo, Wisstlan, Trossforn, Horton and Bremmen for SJU. St. John recover from the awful drubbing by winning at North 4-3. Goals were scored by Cartweiler in the 60th and 85th, and Marco in the 34th and 66th. North's scorers were Helas and Zerrado, scoring at the 40th, 45thm abf 57th. St. Ann cap off a wonder stretch of five games by beating out South on a great free kick by Afforea in the 76th. Niro scord in the 13th and Young scored in the 88th.

Delmar Loop 2-0 Kratz
Ritenour South 2-3 Normandy AC
Tudor 1-0 Hoech
Herbert Hoover 3-0 St. Ann
Overland 0-1 Riverview
Marvin 2-0 Ritenour North
Bristol 2-0 St. John
Maplewood 2-0 St. Mary's
Midland 2-0 Creve Coeur
Columbia 3-2 AC Tigers
Brentwood 0-1 Bel-Ridge
Dutchtown 0-1 Benton Park
Buder 1-2 Bel-Nor
Town and Country 3-2 Hazlewood
University City 3-3 Tower Grove (3-3 AET, 1-2 PKs)

The only real shocking results were Creve Coeur gettign dumped by Midland, and former premier league sides Hazlewood and Buder losing to Town and Country and Bel-Nor respectively.

MATCHDAY 6
O'Fallon 3-2 Bristol
Herbert Hoover 3-1 Riverview [DERBY]
Overland 4-2 Hoech [DERBY]
Marvin 4-3 Normandy AC
St. John United 1-1 Creve Coeur
St. John 4-2 Campbell
St. Ann 1-2 Tudor
Ritenour South 1-0 Ritenour North [DERBY]

Starting off with a bang I see. O'Fallon get a last-minute winner against Bristol, which stops their win streak and gives O'Fallon some much needed points. O'Fallon's goalscorers were Oramander and Al-Afed. Bristol's lone goalscorer was Larac. Herbert Hoover embarrass Riverview at home to the delight of their disillusioned fans. Lkhevin, Lojon, and Nigel all scored goals in the first half of the game. Parr scored the consolation for Riverview in the 87th minute. Overland beat Hoech unsurprisingly. Yunao got a hat trick and Hoech's defense could not stop him at all. Amber and Hilder scored meaningless goals for Hoech and Overland come away with three needed points. Marvin continue their hot streak with a 4-3 shootout against Normandy AC. Llonwan, Torstalvan, and Carman scored Marvin's goals while Afolayan and Magravorsch scored Normandy's. SJU and Creve Coeur draw to the disgust of fans. SJU gave away a dubious penalty at the end which allowed Creve Coeur to tie it up. St. John's duo of Mandell and Cartweiler got help today, as West scored two, and Ango scored another. Cartweiler scored the game-sealing goal while Al-Kebwek and Caldona scored for Campbell. St. Ann totally blew it against Tudor. They lead 1-0 coming into the 80th minute of the game, but Trant Herenti completely took over with a free kick goal and a penalty goal to give Tudor three points. St. Ann Manager Thrano Heiklapanos was livid and would not talk to the media after. South beat out North in their derby with Young getting the goal at the 20th minute.

Bristol 2-0 Iskara Daii (STB)
(SJG) Liberty Rodriguez 4-3 O'Fallon

Good start for Bristol as they beat Iskara Daii 2-0 at home. It's not over however as they need to go away for the second leg, and these past UICA results can show how potent teams at home can be. O'Fallon just barely loses the first leg to Liberty Rodriguez, but they are going home for the second leg which can help O'Fallon in the end.

MATCHDAY 7
Bristol 2-0 Herbert Hoover
O'Fallon 1-0 Overland
Riverview 1-1 Marvin
Hoech 1-2 St. John United
Normandy AC 1-3 St. John
Creve Coeur 0-6 St. Ann
Campbell 0-3 Ritenour South
Tudor 1-1 Ritenour North

Bristol get their sixth win in seven games with Imabata and Larac scoring for the Lightning. O'Fallon got into a tough game against Overland but came out victorious with an Al-Afed goal in the 64th minute insuring O'Fallon keep their fourth place spot. Riverview has been having a rough beginning to the season but are relieved with a 1-1 draw against Marvin. Gussam and Hellen both score for their respective sides. SJU got back on track against a Hoech side in ruins when Wisstlan scored both goals while Hoech's scorer was Wilder, a different person for once. St. John continue their great form winning a game at Normandy with West on FIRE. He got a hat trick in emphatic fashion and has been doing his part well for the team. St. Ann...well, this is deja vu isn't it? The Saints win 6...0, yes 6-0. Niro scored four, Watson and Afforea scored other goals as well. South finally get a win over Campbell. Yeah it's not saying much but it's keeping them in the race for a UICA spot surprisingly enough. So yay I guess. North and Tudor draw disappointingly Worthington got an early goal in the 3rd minute but Tudor could not hold on as Helas gets a big goal in the 45th and no one comes out a winner in the match.

MATCHDAY 8
Overland 1-0 Bristol
Marvin 1-2 Herbert Hoover
St. John United 3-2 O'Fallon
St. John 5-2 Riverview
St. Ann 2-0 Hoech
Ritenour South 2-0 Normandy AC
Ritenour North 1-1 Creve Coeur
Tudor 1-0 Campbell

Bristol dropped a game again. This time it was at Overland and a result of a goalkeeping mistake. At least St. John and St. Ann wont win...right? Hoover slows down Marvin's UICA dreams when Hardtack scored a lovely header in the 70th. Nigel scored for Hoover as well and Corstan. SJU get a big win over O'Fallon. Cavalondo and Hellentruth scored for the Dolphins while Al-Afed and Oramander scored for the Bears. Bellworth commented saying that "We really should be in the race for the UICA spot, so this result does not surprise me one bit". Very modest...I guess. St. John is becoming the Football Club of Mandell-Cartweiler-West. West scored in the 11th, Cartweiler scored in the 15th, 18, and 67th, then Mandell kicked in with a 44th minute goal. Cherneim and Parr scored for Riverview. St. Ann also win putting the pressure on Bristol when Niro scored goals in the 50th and the 88th minute to seal the victory. South get another win and are threatening the top 4 as Jagoun is finally coming into his own. North and Creve Couer draw putting both teams farther behind the table, Chase and Kaldin scored for their respective teams. Tudor win against a Campbell team who has been down all season.


MATCHDAY 9
Bristol 1-0 Marvin
Overland 1-0 St. John United
Herbert Hoover 1-6 St. John
O'Fallon 1-1 St. Ann
Riverview 0-1 Ritenour South
Hoech 2-0 Ritenour North
Normandy AC 1-0 Tudor
Creve Coeur 4-1 Campbell

Bristol get back to form against Marvin. Bristol have dropped their lead as St. John has tied them in the table. Hoccol scored the only goal on the day off of a corner kick. Overland are getting closer to competing for a UICA spot and are pushing SJU further away as Yunao scored Overland's lone goal and the game winner in the 56th minute. St. John obliterated Herbert Hoover as Mandell scored 2, Cartweiler scored 1, and West scored 3 again. O'Fallon and St. Ann both needed a win today but got a draw instead as Fionta and Oramander both scored in the second half. South are making a huge run at a UICA spot after their win against Riverview, Jagoun scoring again for the Huskies. Hoech get a much needed win over North but they are still in the relegation spot with only four lowly points. Normandy AC save themselves from an embarrassing drop in the table by winning against Tudor as Afolayan got the goal in the 30th minute. Creve Coeur ran roughshod over Campbell, Dallersby scored, Kaldin scored, Camera scorred, and even Roque scored.

(STB) Iskara Daii 3-0 Bristol
O'Fallon 3-2 Liberty Rodgriguez (SJG)

As I said, home teams are dangerous in UICA play. Iskara Daii made the comeback against Bristol and O'Fallon advance on away goals.

MATCHDAY 10
St. John United 1-3 Bristol
St. John 3-1 Marvin
St. Ann 2-1 Overland
Ritenour South 1-2 Herbert Hoover
Ritenour North 1-0 O'Fallon
Tudor 1-2 Riverview
Campbell 2-0 Hoech
Creve Coeur 2-0 Normandy AC

Bristol have definitely been a force to be reckoned with winning 8 of the last ten games but they will be only second on GD to St. John. Hoccol and Larac do the scoring again for Bristol while Cavalondo scores for SJU. St. John get their first place spot on GD after beating Marvin 3-1. West and Mandell scored for the stars while Llonwan scored for the Royals in the 78th minute. St. Ann barely get past Overland after Niro scored in the 94th minute to the absolutely frenzied delight of St. Ann fans. Hoover slow down South's run at top 4 as Hardtack gets two goals. North set themselves up comfortably out of relegation by beating an irate O'Fallon squad. The reason I say irate is because Al-Afed is suspended for two games due to an altercation with a North fan. Riverview also gains a win over Tudor which saw Bateman get both goals while Glannao got the consolation for Tudor. Campbell get their first win against Hoech which ties them on points but, both teams are still at the bottom. Creve Coeur beats Normandy AC and they take the sixth place spot and look like real top 4 contenders.

Riverview 3-1 Herbert Hoover

Town and Country 1-0 Benton Park

Marvin 1-0 Ritenour South
Overland 0-2 Ritenour North
Herbert Hoover 0-1 Tudor
O'Fallon 1-0 Campbell
Riverview 5-0 Creve Coeur
Hoech 0-0 Normandy AC

St. John is on a big tear right now. Being undefeated in seven games and beating out their rivals in style. The up front combo of Mandell-Cartweiler-West is proving to pay off big for the stars. Mandell scored two goals in ten minutes and West puts in another at the 67th minute while Hoccol scores a consolation in the 70th. The Saints edge out SJU with a Ki Niro penalty in the 13th minute of the game. Marvin also edge out South. Llonwan said this after the game: "I feel we are a top four side, I feel that we can make this happen we just need to work together". North catapult themselves to further safety against Overland. Norten scored both goals in the 67th and the 86th minute. Tudor prevails over another mid-table team in Herbert Hoover 1-0. Tudor definitely is not out of the race for top 4, but they are as unlikely candidates as ever. O'Fallon get the usual win over the usual losing team, Campbell. Oramander gets the goal for O'Fallon. Riverview DESTROYED Creve Coeur. Parr got four goals and Øllea gets the finishing one. Hoech and Normandy get a boring draw. 0-0 is not the most exciting match.

Creve Coeur 5-1 Herbert Hoover
Normandy AC 3-2 O'Fallon
Hoech 2-1 Riverview

St. Ann and Bristol played an incredible game today. Bristol got off to a hot start winning 3-0 at the half, but then Fionta and Niro scored four back with Watson gets the finishing touch to will St. Ann to an unlikely and amazing comeback. St. John continue their hot streak at South. West got both goals for the Stars as they are continuing to show their impressive form. SJU grind it out against North and gain a win which puts them back in the hunt for top 4. Tudor continue their good form and defeated Marvin, Worthington got the hat trick today. Overland stop their skid against Campbell as Hallander and Fontaine get the two goals. Creve Coeur DESTROYED Herbert Hoover. Dallersby, Kaldin, Camera and Loba get the goals for the Colons. Normandy AC force O'Fallon to drop even more points with Afolayan bagging a hat trick over a quite depleted and tired O'Fallon defense. Hoech are still trying to claw themselves out of relegation, getting a surprising win over Riverview with Amber getting both goals for the Wolves.

Bristol 1-1 Sport Wios (DAI)
O'Fallon 4-1 Besmarlaltur Wanderers (USI)
(OME) United Philibiscostal 2-1 St. John

Bristol get a draw against Sport Wios which disappointed the home side's fans. However, they can prove themselves at Dainer and hopefully continue their campaign. O'Fallon tore into the Wanderers so badly I thought that the bears would get six. Still a good performance nonetheless.
St. John did not do so badly...but it is a disappointing result for their fans.

MATCHDAY 13
Bristol 2-1 Ritenour South
St. Ann 1-0 Ritenour North
St. John 1-1 Tudor
St. John United 2-0 Campbell
Marvin 4-2 Creve Coeur
Overland 1-3 Normandy AC
Herbert Hoover 1-0 Hoech
O'Fallon 2-1 Riverview


Bristol get back on some sort of track against South. Hoccol and Imabata both get goals while Jagoun gets the Huskies' lone goal off of a free kick. St. Ann make it out of North alive and well after Niro scored the winning goal. However the North fans took to the streets and gave the Saints a little piece of their mind. Throwing tomatoes at their bus. St. John's momentum comes to a halt when Tudor comes out with a draw against them. Marco got the Stars' goal in the 44th but they could not hold on to it when Glannao got past the defense and slipped it past the keeper in the 80th minute. SJU win against perennial whipping boys Campbell. Wisstlan got both goals for the home side. Marvin get a good 4-2 result against The Colons. Llonwan got two goals, Corstan and Gussam got goals as well out of the affair. Harrow got both goals for the Colons. Normandy AC just plain whooped Overland today. Overland were beaten in speed, passing, possession, and shooting as well. Olatvyen finally gets a goal on the board as Clayton and Hellen also contribute to the Barbarians' win. Hoover put an end to Hoech's dream of actually winning two games in a row. Olson scored in the 50th minute and Hoech was shut down afterwards. O'Fallon get a predictable result shutting down Riverview's offense just long enough for Al-Afed to get the game winner in the 94th minute.

Campbell 0-2 St. Ann
Creve Coeur 2-3 St. John

Hoech 5-1 Marvin
Riverview 1-1 Overland
O'Fallon 3-0 Herbert Hoover

Bristol drop the ball again. The lost to an almost-relegation zone side albeit away but still...no excuse for the lightning and all of the praise for Helas who has been carrying North out of relegation. South defeat Tudor and ride to a comfortable position in the table although they are far away from top 4 in terms of points. St. Ann are still trying to catch up to St. John on the back of Fionta's two goals. St. John almost dropped points to Creve Coeur but West and Mandell put a stop to that by getting two goals in 5 minutes. SJU get a very surprising result against Normandy. It was a one-sided affair that resulted in two Trossforn goals, and two Wisstlan goals for United. Hoech obliterate Marvin, it was very surprising considering where the two teams are at. Hoech played beautifully but Marvin looked tired and very erratic. Riverview and Overland draw uselessly. Parr and Yunao get goals for their sides as usual. O'Fallon stop stumbling about and beat out Hoover 3-0 with Al-Afed finally getting a hat trick.
