Tir Snake Strike managed to outplay Golden Eagles in a tightly fought match that saw some good play in the midfield from both teams - no one team was able to emerge triumphant until the end of the match, when Charles Allegro managed to stick a boot in front of a Jenny Na'Matsoo pass, which ended up going in the goal; he built on an earlier Ryan Xandreas goal while negating the efforts of a beautiful Ben Lorennion chip. Polaris and Strat City played a decently exciting match in another match dominated by antics in the midfield, and in this match, nobody truly had the advantage as Strat City's attacking midfielders Kubunga and JKCN clashed with Polaris's defensive midfielders Henri Kierkegaard and Jeremiah Onomah. Corinne Martel-Burns, unfortunately, had to sit out this match due to her red card for punching Sarah Arrowsword last week, so her compatriots Kike and Tim Maitfield scored in her absence; Sascha Falkenrath and Victor Hawking scored for the away team after some good passes from their teammates in the attacking mid.

Whitehaven Triumph barely edged out Fort Roy SC in a match that should not have been as close as it actually was, with Whitehaven's attacking superiority and Fort Roy's defensive inefficiencies. The partnership of David Pascale and Axel Korborg proved effective, with both halves of the duo scoring one each, but manager Kieran Moonwood was a bit disappointed that they didn't score more. Cenial United and Myrmidon battled fruitlessly this week, each team having to settle for a two-all draw in what was billed as one of the contests of this season to watch. Myrmidon, with newly appointed manager, Cenian national team personality Pablito Numede, saw Jacob Zajon and Sam Billic score a goal apiece, with assists from the Echani superstar Marco van Ciavitinni, yet that wasn't enough to see off Cenial United, which was tenacious in its goalscoring; Asher Koromin and Miles Snavely scored one apiece.

Cenial Liberty and Northampton, two of the teams squarely in the second tier in the Terranean League, also could not determine a victor in their match, which ended in yet another 2-2 draw; Gilead Val'Tor and Chase Ziegenhorn, the strike partnership that has proven effective in previous matches, again produced results this match, with both scoring one goal; Northampton, on the other hand, saw Eastfield Lodge's Sydney Ryan and Avon's Robin Horn-Townsend score a goal apiece, good signs for both these promising youngsters. Eastern Stars totally crushed Longtails this week as they kept at their frenetic pace of wins, going six for six; Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic both scored a brace apiece before Longtails got on the board with a last-minute Iain Cyn-Penzag consolation goal, with an assist from the energetic midfielder Saden Khalej, yet Eastern Stars still proved that Longtails was outclassed against the in-form Avonian team.

Sporting Cenial, after having a couple of disappointing results, especially on the defensive end, managed to tighten up the defensive ship and reduce its errors in its match with 1860 Azoth; they successfully limited the home team to only a single goal and grabbed a point out of their encounter. Jake Ingram was looking good, scoring his team's only goal, while the Yesopalithan eternal youngster Nadia Dostoevich scored one for her team. Phalanx AF, with their offensive powerhouse, took no chances against Rushmori Drawks, and emerged from that encounter relatively unscathed, and with a whole lot of goals to boot. Louis Rhodes, Chi-Chan, Adrian del Toro, Jace Votto, and Anthony Baudelio all managed to get their names on the scoresheet in their team's absolute romp against one of the worst teams in the league.

Tir Snake Strike seems to be swinging back and forth between good results and bad results, and this week seemed to be one of those bad weeks; a lackluster attacking performance against Phalanx AF saw them score only one goal, from the boot of the Qasdonian attacking midfielder Ryan Xandreas, although the good goalkeeping of Nephara's Tsattalios could have accounted for some of that trouble scoring. Phalanx AF, on the other hand, had a little less trouble getting pass Joshua Kosokhan, although he did apply a substantial amount of pressure to their offense; Louis Rhodes and Elizabeth Hansen did manage to get through to give their side the win. Sporting Cenial held firm for a clean sheet against Rushmori Drawks, who have only grabbed one point on the table so far, with goals from Alexander Ceren and Eric Garcia, their striking duo from Ceni's north.

Longtails, meanwhile, managed to deny 1860 Azoth the full three points in their match, which probably should have gone to the away team; Azoth had quite a few shots on goal that didn't go in for some reason, whether that be the intervention of the post, the crossbar, the wind, or the goalkeeper, and they left Southpoint fairly disappointed, even though Andrew Daren did give them a goal. Longtails, meanwhile, was happy to hang on for that one point, and their goal from Iain Cyn-Penzag left the club's fans satisfied with their encounter. Eastern Stars continued their good form, hanging on to their winning streak with a 2-0 win over Northampton, courtesy of goals from Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic.

Myrmidon only just managed to defeat the upstarts Cenial Liberty, and the two teams fought a long and grueling game that featured a lot of missed shots and unconverted chances for both teams - both Mathis Woodgate and Dennis Thoda performed spectacularly in goal. In the end, though, it was Marco van Ciavitinni's last-minute shot that broke the deadlock, giving the three points to the #18 team in UICA. Whitehaven Triumph and Cenial United had a much more exciting match, if you define exciting as lots of goals scored, that is. Eight goals could not determine a winner as both sides fell to the curse of the leaky defense; David Pascale, Sophia Fortune, Axel Korborg, and Vivien Gall scored for the home side, while Asher Koromin, Miles Snavely, Ryan Arivelo, and Nico Asturias scored for the away team in the topsy-turvy game, one of the highest scoring so far in the league.

Strat City, meanwhile, had a fairly routine win over Fort Roy, squarely placed within the lowest tier of Terranean League football; Sascha Falkenrath and Victor Hawking saw one goal apiece added to their names in the ho-hum victory. Golden Eagles and Polaris, though, played a more involved match at the Field of Gold. Connie Martel-Burns, happy to be back in action after a suspension, was quick to score in the second half, scoring three goals within quick succession of each other, but she proved too trigger-happy in runs on goal; Golden Eagles waited patiently for the right opportunities to counterattack against the overextended Polaris midfield, and Lorennion, Brahe-Antilles, and Noveth were all able to take advantage - leaving Polaris still without a win this season, leading fans of the Blue Stars to call for manager Jaime del Olmo's head. Del Olmo, on the other hand, blames Martel-Burns and her tendency to hog the ball all to herself - not being a team player, he called it. Still, it seems that the fans would rather have Martel-Burns than del Olmo at this point.

Polaris is still winless this season as Tir Snake Strike managed to eke out a tight 4-3 win in a match where both teams made more than a few defensive errors. Polaris's defense has been pretty solid in the past, and new manager del Olmo didn't make any changes, yet this season, it's seemed to fall apart, as Tir Snake Strike's Xandreas got a brace, helped by Charles Allegro and Belarmin Worsaw with one goal apiece; Polaris, with its world-class striker in Corinne Martel-Burns, should be scoring more goals, yet it only managed to score three, one each from Kike, Cedric Hache, and Martel-Burns, on this occasion, and they've scored fewer goals on defenses worse than Tir Snake's, a performance that has been quite perplexing to both fans and observers alike. Fort Roy managed to upset Golden Eagles, thanks to the tireless performance of midfielder Rudy Valencia of San Jose Guayabal; Ben Lorennion and Will Noveth scored goals, but strangely, that wasn't enough to beat Fort Roy, usually derided as one of the worst teams in the league , on this occasion.

Cenial United had to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the first half of their match against Strat City but they managed to score one more goal than necessary to secure their comeback. Strat City had let their guard down after JKCN, Kubunga, and Luke Vescovi had scored in the first half, and Cenial United took advantage of the away side's moments of hesitation and tiny defensive errors to roar back from the brink of defeat. Asher Koromin, Eli Gomares, Miles Snavely, Ryan Arivelo, and Nico Asturias all took part in this monumental comeback. Cenial Liberty and Whitehaven Triumph both played their finest, but could not determine a victor between themselves as both teams had to settle for a draw. Tristan Lovelock and Chase Ziegenhorn scored for the home team, while David Pascale and Axel Korborg scored for the away side.

Myrmidon finally put an end to Eastern Stars' winning streak as Mathis Woodgate held firm against all Eastern Stars attempts to score, while Marco van Ciavitinni was able to infiltrate the stern Eastern Stars defense to score the only goal of the match and grab the full three points along with it. 1860 Azoth had a fairly routine win against Northampton as well, with Aksil Saidi-Sief proving no match for 1860 Azoth's offensive steamroller. Ben Chillotov, Mijo Nikazic, and Max Svitak scored one apiece in their fairly easy and non-competitive win. Longtails crushed Rushmori Drawks in a sign that their young attackers are fairly promising (and a sign that Rushmori Drawks are still one of the worst teams in the league). Iain Cyn-Penzag scored a hat trick, with assists from Chris MacKenzie and Chris Arthur-Grosseling, while Saden Khalej scored a brace to make up the full complement of five goals against the hapless Avonian side. Gareth Souter and Chris Rakotomaharo were valiant in their attempts to secure the Sporting Cenial goal - and they were successful until stoppage time, when the Sunrisian World Cup winner Chi-Chan used some of her magic to penetrate Callum Polasic's goal and give her team the victory.

Tir Snake Strike and Sporting Cenial played most of their ninety minutes without resolution, thanks to the defensive efforts of the Souter-Rakotomaharo partnership on the home side and Joshua Kosokhan on the away side, but in stoppage time, Ryan Xandreas was able to penetrate Callum Polasic's goal to give his team a win. Surprisingly, Longtails absolutely crushed Phalanx AF - a team with one of the best combinations of offense and defense in the league. Unfortunately for them, neither part of their game was working - they only scored one goal against the Southpoint-based team, off the boot of Louis Rhodes, while the defense could not prevent the deluge of goals coming in from Longtails - one each from Iain Cyn-Penzag, Saden Khalej, Chris MacKenzie, and Chris Arthur-Grosseling - as it seemed like something had made Phalanx less of a threat. Rushmori Drawks made Northampton work for their three points this week as their match was a close encounter throughout; in the end, Sydney Ryan and Robin Horn-Townsend made their presences known, giving their team the win. Myrmidon gave no quarter against one of their main rivals, 1860 Azoth, and as a result, they won by quite a large margin, six to two; Sam Billic, Jacob Zajon, and Marco van Ciavitinni, the club's main striking options, each scored a brace. Azoth's Svitak and Dostoevich managed to throw goals into the mix, but that was clearly not enough to challenge Ceni's undisputed alpha club.

Whitehaven Triumph managed to penetrate the Eastern Stars' excellent defense three times, but Eastern Stars managed to reciprocate the action in their three-all draw; Fortune, Pascale, and Korburg all scored for the home team, while Jack Nilevian, Jackie Crawford, and Visjna Brankovic all scored for the away team in this fairly competitive match that pitted an offensive powerhouse against a defensive one. Strat City definitely pulled out all the stops against Cenial Liberty, and they were rewarded with a 4-1 victory at home, certainly pleasing to the fans at the Gateway Stadium, the largest stadium in Avon; Kubunga, Carvalho-Nagatomo, Falkenrath, and Hawking all scored one apiece, while Tristan Lovelock scored a consolation goal at the tail end of this match, an effort that clearly couldn't alter the course of the game. Cenial United took their A game to Golden Eagles, and they left with three more points than last week for their efforts. Asher Koromin was the man of the match, for scoring his own goal and setting up strikes by Miles Snavely and Eli Gomares. Golden Eagles put out a valiant effort, capped by Will Noveth scoring a brace, yet Cenial United always seemed one step ahead of them throughout the match. Finally, Polaris could not even score against Fort Roy SC, the continual punching bag of the Terranean League, much less secure a full three points. The clamor for manager del Olmo's head is even louder now, and to make matters worse, after an incident on the pitch in which Cedric Hache and Connie Martel-Burns ran into each other headlong, they began to fight; both got red cards and were suspended for two weeks. That'll certainly make Polaris fans' days.

Fort Roy SC put up a fight against Tir Snake Strike, scoring a goal just before halftime to tie things up, but Tir Snake Strike pulled through in the end, thanks to goals from Ryan Xandreas and Charles Allegro. Polaris is still winless in ten games, and the fans are now screaming for blood as they want to point the finger at someone for their absolutely atrocious start to the season. Kike had to take on double duty with two of the club's main striking options out of business this week, and he performed decently well, scoring a brace, but that was far from enough to take on the Cenial United striking machine, which was looking oiled and polished like a machine this week; Koromin, Snavely, Arivelo, and Asturias all got their touches on the final cake, scoring one goal each. The match between Cenial Liberty and Golden Eagles this week could not determine a victor, as both sides would have to settle for a two-two draw; Ziegenhorn and Lovelock, two of the club's three main striking options, got their names on the board this week, while Lorennion and Brahe-Antilles, the two main Golden Eagles strikers, continued what has been three seasons worth of good form, also scored one apiece. Eastern Stars managed to edge past Strat City with some astounding goalkeeping from Ryan Navir, who has really clicked with the Eastern Stars defense so far, blocking shots from most of Strat City's main attacking threats (except for a solitary goal from Kubunga), while Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic, the team's workhorses at the offensive end, ensured the victory with timely goals.

1860 Azoth, a week after being thoroughly crushed at Myrmidon, regained a bit of their lost confidence by defeating Whitehaven Triumph 3-1, with the attack, thankfully, running smoothly after the last week's embarrassment, with Svitak, Nikazic, and Chillotov all getting their names on the scoreboard after the victory; Sophia Fortune scored a consolation goal late in the second half, but she couldn't spur her team on to at least salvaging a point. Rushmori Drawks, one of the two Avonian punching bags of the Terranean League, punched back this week as they led 1-0 against Myrmidon for the first half of their game. However, their momentary glee didn't last for long, as Marco van Ciavitinni launched two goals within quick succession of each other to steal the three points from right under the Avonians' noses. Phalanx AF struggled to score against Northampton for a good portion of their game, thanks to Aksil Saidi-Sief and his effortful goalkeeping, but Louis Rhodes found a way to sneak past the Northampton defense to get a goal and the three points for his team. Sporting Cenial dealt with Longtails, a team with two good striking options, quickly and efficiently, with Souter and Rakotomaharo performing at their defensive best to allow Callum Polasic to keep a clean sheet; Ingram, Ceren, and Garcia all scored to put any notions of a scoreless draw to rest.

Longtails and Tir Snake Strike battled to a draw in Southpoint, the Tir Snake team not doing quite enough to outpace Longtails' youngsters' outpouring of offensive energy. Iain Cyn-Penzag scored a brace for his team, while his striking partner and the team's playmaker, Saden Khalej, also managed to get a goal on the books. Ryan Xandreas distinguished himself on the opposing team, thanks to his goal and two assists (to Belarmin Worsaw and Jenny Na'Matsoo respectively), but he could not manage to score a second goal and lift his team above Longtails. Sporting Cenial barely managed to eke out a win against Northampton, one of the team's emulators in style, being a defensive team just like them. Alexander Ceren managed to get a goal past Aksil Saidi-Sief in the first few minutes of the game, when the Northampton defense was still revving up, but nobody could replicate that feat in the remaining ninety minutes.

Neither of Myrmidon and Phalanx AF, two of the teams tipped to win the title at the end of the season, got a heads up in their title quest, as the two teams drew in New Oxford. Myrmidon got the upper hand early on when Sam Billic of Mercedini scored in the thirteenth minute, but Phalanx AF equalized soon after with a goal from the Sunrisian stalwart Chi-Chan; the game proceeded scoreless for the remaining minutes, with both defenses, the goalkeepers Woodgate and Tsattalios in particular, doing well to stop any further deluge of goals. Whitehaven Triumph barely edged out Rushmori Drawks, a team usually overlooked by many commentators, but they put two goals into Luke Khasek's goal and almost had a third, if not for the intervention of the Drawkian player Sarah Arrowsword. Sophia Fortune, Axel Korburg, and David Pascale on the other end, meanwhile, performed well enough, scoring a goal apiece, to make up for their defense's inconsistencies.

1860 Azoth just barely managed to overcome Strat City in a match that didn't meet many observers' expectations, as they had expected quite a few goals from two offensive teams. However, Ajan Varlessal and Larry Watt returned to vintage form and their performances of days of old to cut down on the goals conceded, and their new strategies seemed to work, as Varlessal was able to keep a clean sheet; Hallie Septimus and the Strat City defense performed well enough for most of the match, but the Mercedinian youngster Ben Chillotov managed to score a goal to keep his club high and dry. Golden Eagles and Eastern Stars, two of the higher-tier Avonian teams, both needed results here to be able to claim the moniker of best Avonian team, but despite their one-all draw, with Ben Lorennion and Jackie Crawford scoring goals for their respective teams, Eastern Stars had the much better claim to that mantle, having performed much better this season than their rivals from New Stratford.

The calls for Jaime del Olmo's resignation (or dismissal) as Polaris manager have only intensified this week as they continue their eleven-match winless streak with a draw at Cenial Liberty. The club was again without their star strikers, Martel-Burns and Hache, serving their suspensions for a brutal fight two weeks prior, as Kike again had to carry the club, scoring both of their goals, but he couldn't carry the team's entire striking burden alone; Tim Maitfield made some good contributions, but he's been looking sadly out of form for the past couple of weeks, perhaps one of the explanations for the team's poor performance. At Cenial Liberty, Gilead Val'Tor and Chase Ziegenhorn scored a goal apiece, helped by the Nepharim striker Tristan Lovelock. Cenial United barely edged past Fort Roy SC, one of the constant metaphoric whipping boys of the Terranean League, thanks to efforts from Asher Koromin and Nico Asturias, who managed to lift the club out of their weakish performance this week.

The see-saw pattern for Tir Snake Strike continued this week as the old saying "What goes up must come down" proved itself true. After having a couple of good performances in the last few weeks, their performance has seemed to slide a little bit this week, and that showed in their loss to Cenial United; Rostyn Calhoun performed beautifully in keeping a clean sheet against a prolific Tir Snake offense led by Belarmin Worsaw and Ryan Xandreas, while Miles Snavely and Asher Koromin were methodical in scoring goals to lift their team up. Cenial Liberty easily beat Fort Roy, with their offensive strength shining through as Chase Ziegenhorn and Tristan Lovelock partnered up to score a goal apiece and a valuable three points for their club. Polaris notched their first win of the season and ended their abysmal streak of eleven domestic games without a win; perhaps Connie Martel-Burns's return to the club spurred the team on, as she, and teammate Tim Maitfield, each scored a goal. The calls for manager del Olmo's head have not abated, though, as the team needs to bring the best of of Martel-Burns and Maitfield for the remainder of the season without having too many more temper tantrums from the famously bipolar Schottian striker.

1860 Azoth added more misery to Golden Eagles' season as they added yet another loss to the Avonian team's books, with goals from Chillotov and Nikazic. Although Ben Lorennion scored, he couldn't make the game more competitive with goals and assists as Larry Watt and Ajan Varlessal were back to their defensive best. Golden Eagles, which had constantly performed within the top 3 of the Avonian clubs, and in the top half of the Terranean League overall, is now thanking its lucky stars for Fort Roy SC and Rushmori Drawks, which are having even worse seasons. Nevertheless, they have a lot to work to do to make it back up to the top, especially after this match. Strat City scored three goals against Rushmori Drawks, from the boots of JKCN, Kubunga, and Luke Vescovi, which made manager Zel Ricolar, a former Cenian national team player, fairly happy.

Phalanx AF and Whitehaven Triumph, meanwhile, only could manage a 2-2 draw at the Bicentennial Stadium, making their manager, Miran Stane, not as happy as Ricolar. Although Louis Rhodes and Anthony Baudelio scored for their team, this match diagnosed perhaps a glaring flaw with Phalanx's lineup: they have too many attacking options, which could perhaps lead to tensions and squabbling within the team, and he may be taking the adage "Too many cooks spoil the broth" into heart when looking towards the next transfer window, perhaps wanting to bolster his defensive options while getting rid of superfluous attacking players. In particular, Jace Votto has been pretty troublesome for Stane, as his expectations for play (as well as very expensive price, as an eighteen-year-old) have put a crimp in other attackers' plans.

Sporting Cenial and Myrmidon, meanwhile, could only manage a draw, with neither team's offensive options able to penetrate the other's defense. Mathis Woodgate did splendidly in blocking Sporting Cenial's admittedly meager attempts on goal, while the combination of Callum Polasic, Gareth Souter, and Chris Rakotomaharo did splendidly in blocking Myrmidon's plethora of quality strikers. Longtails just barely edged out Northampton with an Iain Cyn-Penzag goal. Aksil Saidi-Sief held firm in goal for most of the game, but Cyn-Penzag's natural talent managed to win the game for his team as he was able to use a combination of pace and agility to outwit the Northampton defense.

Tir Snake Strike regained a measure of confidence after they defeated Northampton in a thriller that required the use Video Assistant Referee (VAR), on trial at Northampton's stadium, to decide a contentious Pierre-Louis Le Tonnelier goal that, as it turns out, just barely crossed the goal line - leading to a sigh of relief for Tir Snake fans but an outcry from Northampton fans who dominated the stands. Ryan Xandreas and Belarmin Worsaw scored the other two goals for Tir Snake Strike, while Robin Horn-Townsend and Sydney Ryan got their names in the books for the home team. Myrmidon absolutely crushed Longtails at home; Mathis Woodgate and his world-class goalkeeping gave Iain Cyn-Penzag and company no chance to score, and on the other side of the pitch, Myrmidon gleefully took advantage of Longtails' mediocre defense, seeing goals from Sam Billic, Jacob Zajon, Marco van Ciavitinni, and Stacey Sunset in the total romp.

Sporting Cenial and the potent combination of Gareth Souter and Chris Rakotomaharo held quite firm against all manner of Whitehaven Triumph strikes for a good majority of their game, but in the dying moments of the game, Sophia Fortune managed to exploit a gap in their defense to deal a blow to their rivals' UICA ambitions and steal the three points from right under their noses. Strat City and Phalanx AF drew, frustratingly for both teams, especially Strat City in front of 50,000 fans at the modern Gateway Stadium. Sascha Falkenrath and Victor Hawking scored for the home team, while Louis Rhodes and Jace Votto scored for the away team. The Rushmori Drawks put out a strong effort at the new Field of Gold, one that did not prove enough as the Golden Eagles finally grabbed an essential three points; Ben Lorennion and Will Noveth scored, but the game was much closer than they would have liked, and manager Aria Kalamyr will have to think of new ways to make the team stand out above the competition a little bit.

Polaris grabbed a second win in a row, a gritty but nonetheless important victory against 1860 Azoth, a team fighting for one of the Cenian UICA spots. Henri Kierkegaard and Jeremiah Onomah stopped many of Azoth's offensive runs from the midfield itself, while Tim Maitfield made some stellar runs up the left of the field, and one of his efforts was rewarded with a goal in this win that kept the team's chances alive. Eastern Stars barely made it past Fort Roy SC, a team, with the exception of Rudy Valencia, that lacks a lot of attacking and defensive potential; nevertheless, they performed quite well for a lot of the two teams' match, with a Jackie Crawford goal the only thing separating the two. Cenial United, in one of the mini-Cenial derbies, absolutely crushed Cenial Liberty and their weak defense. Although Tristan Lovelock scored a goal early on, it did not help protect the team from the onslaught that came; goals from Asher Koromin, Ryan Arivelo, and Nico Asturias, and a brace from Miles Snavely, ensured the embarrassment of the away team.

Tir Snake Strike had to survive a stern challenge from Cenial Liberty, and the game was much closer than anticipated as Tristan Lovelock scored early on in the match to give Cenial Liberty an early lead. Tir Snake Strike then went into overdrive to make up the deficit, and goals from Ryan Xandreas and Belarmin Worsaw gave the home team the victory. Cenial United, however, had no such luck as Eastern Stars and their new goalkeeper Ryan Navir held them scoreless. Rostyn Calhoun managed to save all shots by the team's opposition, however, which left things even-steven in terms of goals as both teams exited the pitch without a goal to their name. 1860 Azoth barely made it past Fort Roy SC, a team that has constantly been compared to a punching bag or whipping boy yet served neither of those functions this week. Despite their stern resistance, though, 1860 Azoth still managed to win, a goal from Ben Chillotov saving the day for the Cenian team.

Polaris absolutely crushed Rushmori Drawks by the score of five to nil to give them a massive confidence boost after an absolutely horrid beginning of the season for them; Connie Martel-Burns scored a hat trick against the hapless Avonian team, while Kike and Tim Maitfield backed her up with another goal apiece. After this victory, calls for Jaime del Olmo's head have mostly subsided, although there are still grumblings about whether the team can actually recover from their poor performances. Golden Eagles also seem to be turning their poor start to the season around with a valuable win over Phalanx AF, and away to boot; Lorennion, Noveth, and Brahe-Antilles, the "Cenian Triplets" as the Avonian press likes to call them, all scored against Apostolos Tsattalios, showing that the Phalanx defense is more vulnerable than they would expect. Although Louis Rhodes and Anthony Baudelio scored, they could not muster another goal against the Golden Eagles defense, which proved particularly strong this week.

Sporting Cenial and Strat City could not determine a victor among themselves, as both only scored one goal apiece (Ceren for Sporting, Falkenrath for Strat City), and the anticipated clash of a more offensive team with a more defensive team was a little bit muter than some had expected as the Strat City offense was not firing on all cylinders like it usually does. However, Souter and Rakotomaharo again cemented their status as some of the best defenders in Ceni during their performance. Whitehaven Triumph managed to make it past Longtails in a clash of two teams dependent on youngsters; Sophia Fortune, David Pascale, and Axel Korborg, the team's usual offensive trio, all managed to score against the Longtails defense, admittedly not the best in the league, while only Iain Cyn-Penzag could make it past the Sarah Arrowsword-led Whitehaven defense. Northampton, meanwhile, utilized their defense to great benefit, holding Myrmidon's pervasive offense scoreless. Although they were not able to score against Mathis Woodgate's goal, their defensive performance (and point) against Ceni's #1 team will certainly be a great morale-booster for the beleaguered club.

Myrmidon made it look easy to defeat Tir Snake Strike, as their defense, headlined by Miri Windtide and goalkeeper Mathis Woodgate, managed to disarm the usually prolific Tir Snake offense, although Ryan Xandreas did manage to score a goal, while Myrmidon's own offense, tidy and efficient as usual, made three successful attacking runs into Ajan Varlessal's goal, with goals credited to van Ciavitinni, Sunset, and Burns, to send themselves to the top of the league at the halfway mark. Northampton's defense continued to look stellar as they held Whitehaven Triumph, a team extremely proud of its offense and its status as producers of some of the best young attacking talent, scoreless, thanks to some excellent saves from their Kel Assukian goalkeeper Aksil Saidi-Sief; Robin Horn-Townsend managed to grab the three points with the only goal in the match, a shot into the right corner of the goal that was met with dismay in the fans in attendance.

Strat City managed to barely win over Longtails after a high-scoring game with many changes in momentum. Victor Hawking's experience carried the day as he scored the winning goal, to add on to previous goals from JKCN, Kubunga, and Sascha Falkenrath; Longtails put up a valiant effort, with goals from Iain Cyn-Penzag, Saden Khalej, and Chris Arthur-Grosseling, but their efforts, unfortunately, did not result in the win. Golden Eagles absolutely thrashed Sporting Cenial as part of their resurgence by five goals to two as the defensive efforts of Souter and Rakotomaharo could not prevent the drubbing; Lorennion, Brahe-Antilles, Noveth, Butler, and Alexander all got their names onto the scoresheet, as opposed to only Ceren and Garcia on the away team's roster, but despite their romp, Golden Eagles is still sitting in fourteenth place - they'll have a long way to go to make it to Avon's UICA spots.

Polaris defeated Phalanx AF, a sign that perhaps their earlier poor performances were due to bad luck or issues other than managerial issues (as the club's fans had refused to consider in calling for Jaime del Olmo's resignation). Kierkegaard and Onomah were again playing well to snuff out any Phalanx AF runs in the midfield, except for the sole Louis Rhodes goal; Kike, Connie Martel-Burns, and Tim Maitfield all scored as well. Maitfield looked especially good this week as his performances in the first third of the season had looked particularly lackluster; it's a good sign for the club that his performance is improving. The Rushmori Drawks grabbed their first win of the season, tripling their point count, with a win over Fort Roy SC, the other half of the Avonian Punching Bags, as the Cenian press likes to call them.

1860 Azoth crushed Kaia Travaran's Cenial United team by a fairly large score, four to one. Cenial United made quite a few defensive errors, and their indecision in the midfield allowed 1860 Azoth to take advantage. Although Asher Koromin used his agility and shooting skills to get past Larry Watt and Ajan Varlessal in the defense near halftime, it didn't matter in the scheme of things as Svitak, Ebash, Nikazic, and Chillatov all scored to give their team a fairly large, and unexpected, victory. To conclude the first half of the Terranean League East, Cenial Liberty and Eastern Stars dueled to a 2-2 draw in Cenial. The precocious youngsters Gilead Val'Tor and Chase Ziegenhorn were particularly active in this match, and they lived up to their billing by scoring against the Eastern Stars defense, which has been the best in the Terranean League so far. Eastern Stars, meanwhile, struck back with goals from Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic, but they were not enough to send the match entirely their way. Cenial Liberty left somewhat happy with their result, while Eastern Stars fell to second as a result of the draw and Myrmidon's earlier win. Nonetheless, they are left in a good position for the second half of the league.

And we're back again - after a short break to mark the halfway point of the Terranean League East, competition resumed with the match between Tir Snake Strike and Eastern Stars; the latter team had been on a tear during the first half of the season, and they continued that run of form, at least defensively, in their match with Tir Snake Strike, blocking their offense from scoring any goals. However, Tir Snake Strike had possession for most of the game, denying Eastern Stars the chance to score. 1860 Azoth put on a commanding performance across town at Cenial Liberty as they scored four goals against the inconsistent Liberty defense, although they did concede two of their own; Chillatov, Dostoevich, Svitak, and Ebash all scored for the away team in their victorious effort, while Gilead Val'Tor and Chase Ziegenhorn did manage to retaliate with their own strikes - not that it changed the outcome of the match.

Rushmori Drawks managed to pick up their second win of the season in a massive surprise against Cenial United, which, playing at home, had chosen to rest some of its key starters after a long and grueling first half of competition. Asher Koromin played excellently in the match - scoring both of his team's goals - but his performance was not enough to save his team from defensive errors and mishaps that caused them to lose the match. There was another upset in Fort Roy as Phalanx AF and all of its offensive power could not manage to score past Fort Roy's defense; of course, Fort Roy's subpar offense could not get past the world-class goalkeeping of Apostolos Tsattalios, leaving the two teams with a scoreless draw. Polaris continued their winning streak with a valuable win against Sporting Cenial; Souter and Rakotomaharo could not defend adequately against the pace and agility of Polaris's world-class offense; Connie Martel-Burns, Kike, and Tim Maitfield all scored for the home side to give them another leg up in their comeback. Although Alexander Ceren and Eric Garcia scored for their team, it could not counteract the three screamers from the Polaris side.

Golden Eagles just barely made it past Longtails as quite a few offensive efforts were stymied by just plain bad luck; shots from both teams hit the posts and crossbars of both goals quite often, until Ben Lorennion finally converted on a penalty kick after Grigor Aroden fouled Will Noveth in the penalty area. Northampton managed to defeat Strat City, although their defense didn't look all that great as JKCN, Kubunga, and Sascha Falkenrath all managed to score on Aksil Saidi-Sief's goal - it was Northampton's offense that saved the day this week, with Sydney Ryan and Isula Azellay scoring one goal apiece; Robin Horn-Townsend scored the winning goal, and one other, in the team's winning effort. Myrmidon had to survive a tough challenge from Whitehaven Triumph as they only managed to win by one goal. Sarah Arrowsword did well on the defense, denying Myrmidon's all-star offense quite a few chances, and Sophia Fortune did manage to score a goal. However, all of that didn't matter in the end as two of Myrmidon's stars - Jacob Zajon and Sam Billic - scored goals to give Ceni's #1 team the win.

Whitehaven Triumph - somehow, some way - managed to score six goals past Tir Snake Strike, a team that thought young goalkeeper Joshua Kosokhan had settled into his goalkeepers' gloves. This match should come as a wake-up call for them that perhaps their defense needs a bit of improvement, as David Pascale, Axel Korborg, Vivien Gall, and Gilamu Bengoechea all got one goal apiece, supplemented by Sophia Fortune's brace; Tir Snake Strike fought long and hard, with goals from Worsaw, Xandreas, and Allegro, yet they were surprised by the intensity of both the Whitehaven attack and defense. Myrmidon and Strat City, meanwhile, fought to a fairly scoreful draw - both sides managed to get four goals into the other's net in a match that highlighted the offensive quality of the Terranean League. Zajon, Billic, Sunset, and van Ciavitinni scored for the home team against the somewhat brittle Strat City defense, while surprisingly, Kubunga, JKCN, Falkenrath, and Hawking all managed to penetrate Mathis Woodgate's quality defense - a defense that has successfully prevented goals in situations just like this many times over. The most likely cause of this week's leaky defense was hesitation in the midfield - giving Myrmidon less time to react to Strat City's all-too-effective counterattacks.

Northampton's defense went back into overdrive as Aksil Saidi-Sief held Golden Eagles to only one goal, scored by Ben Lorennion, as Europe Hambleton and Aleix Vervays performed well in the center of the defense to deny the attacking Golden Eagles too many chances, while Northampton's young offense performed at the level it had last week, with Ryan and Horn-Townsend both scoring one goal. Longtails threatened to derail Polaris's comeback campaign when Iain Cyn-Penzag scored a goal in the opening stages of their match - and surprisingly, Polaris's world-class offense could not score any more goals past the usually leaky Longtails defense as Lucas D'jek actually managed to hold his team's defense together - and of course, with this defeat, the calls for Jaime del Olmo's head reintensified, and as usual with such calls, the Polaris board made no move to sack their Cenian manager. Fort Roy caused another upset this week as they held Sporting Cenial to a 1-1 draw with a lucky goal in the last minute of stoppage time - this coming after an Eric Garcia goal had stood unchallenged for a good ninety-five minutes of play.

Cenial United, after their surprising loss to the Rushmori Drawks, managed to recover from that upset, but Phalanx AF seemingly did not after their draw with Fort Roy - hence Cenial United's victory in their match this week. Asher Koromin, the man who had almost salvaged victory from the jaws of defeat against the Drawks, Miles Snavely, and Ryan Arivelo scored for their team, and Rostyn Calhoun had one of his best days in the goal, denying Phalanx AF and its plethora of attacking options many chances to score. A Chi-Chan strike in the thirty-fifth, however, did find its way into the goal, but that one goal wasn't enough to save Phalanx AF. Rushmori Drawks, meanwhile, couldn't even carry on the momentum from their upset, as they folded pretty easily against Zel Ricolar's men from Cenial; Gilead Val'Tor, Chase Ziegenhorn, and Tristan Lovelock all scored for their club as they rolled past the Drawks fairly easily. Finally, 1860 Azoth dealt Eastern Stars a blow to their ambitions for the Terranean League title as they held firm to defeat the Avonian club three to two; although Visnja Brankovic and Jackie Crawford scored for their team, those two goals did not get them far in the game, as Nadia Dostoevich, Andrew Daren, and Ben Chillotov scored to give their team the advantage - and the important three points.

Tir Snake Strike and 1860 Azoth fought in City Centre to a draw as neither team could outscore - or out-defend - the other. Tir Snake Strike struck first, with goals from Xandreas, Worsaw, and Allegro, in that order, but each time the home team scored a goal, 1860 Azoth scored one within the next ten minutes, with goals from Chillotov, Svitak, and Dostoevich, as it seems that both teams were playing at about the same level. Eastern Stars easily dispatched the Rushmori Drawks, a team that has definitely faded since their upset of Cenial United gave them a boost in morale. Ryan Navir of course notched a clean sheet, and the defense was never seriously troubled, while Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic scored one goal apiece, goals that made it look easy to play at the professional level in the Terranean League. Cenial Liberty managed to upset Phalanx AF, a team that's had three poor performances in a row now, and the issues that have been plaguing them - especially the tensions within the offense and the lack of a clear and obvious playmaker - came back to hurt them in this match. Dennis Thoda is a capable goalkeeper, and Bastian Windsor has provided him with quality backup on the pitch; that combination denied the fractious Phalanx AF offense too many goals, although Louis Rhodes did manage to score; on the other side of the pitch, Salgin Ordruvor, the Sarrbian international, had one of the games of his life, and he scored a brace past Apostolos Tsattalios. One of the first moves on the transfer market, then, is likely to be the purchase of another defender - and the sale of an attacker.

Sporting Cenial has clearly won the Cenial Derby this year as they took home the second leg of one of the longest lasting derbies in Cenian football history. Gareth Souter, who's played most of his senior career at Sporting Cenial, and Chris Rakotomaharo looked at their best in denying Cenial United a single goal, and allowing Callum Polasic to keep a clean sheet, while Sporting Cenial fans celebrated when Alexander Ceren scored in the seventy-seventh minute, scoring a goal that turned out to officially decide the derby. Longtails enjoyed a fairly easy and routine win over Fort Roy SC, and from watching this match, you'd assume there were no problems with the club, even though the defense is a little bit leaky and the midfield could use some work. Iain Cyn-Penzag, Saden Khalej, and Chris Arthur-Grosseling all scored in the fairly dominant victory. Northampton's streak of good results continued, meanwhile, and the recovery of Polaris continued to look a little bit more off-track with their one-all draw in the Isles of Avon. Aksil Saidi-Sief gained a little more confidence in himself, as he saved a couple of shots from Connie Martel-Burns and crew, although one Tim Maitfield goal did make it through; Sydney Ryan scored for Northampton. With this game, rumors have started flying that Martel-Burns will be put on the transfer window at the end of the season, as rumor has it that the Schottian striker is frustrated with how the team is performing domestically.

Golden Eagles, a team that's been having a bit of a poor season, despite having the striking prowess of the "Cenian Triplets," managed to give themselves a strong morale booster with a 3-2 win over Myrmidon, a club ranked #18 in the world (fairly high for a Cenian club) and clearly Ceni's best team internationally. Each of those aforementioned triplets scored against Mathis Woodgate's well-protected goal, although the defense was not performing at their usual standards this week; van Ciavitinni and Sunset scored for Myrmidon, although Mia Ria of Chromatika shined in goal and saved many more shots, part of the reason why Golden Eagles won today - but some are wondering whether manager Aria Kalamyr made the right decision in giving Ria the club's starting spot, and they're grumbling that Ria's inexperience and jittery nerves will doom them to the bottom half of the table this year. Only time will tell whether their grumbles will actually become true. Finally, Strat City managed to defeat Whitehaven Triumph by six goals to four in a match that was certainly exciting to watch, with goals, goals, and more goals almost everywhere you looked. Both teams' offenses were firing on full cylinders, and both teams' defenses looked particularly leaky, although in the end, it was Strat City's that looked more consistent. Sascha Falkenrath had a field day against the Whitehaven defense - scoring a hat trick - while his teammates JKCN, Kubunga, and Victor Hawking all scored one goal apiece, adding to his effort; Fortune, Korborg, Pascale, and Gall scored on Whitehaven's end, but their four wasn't enough to overcome Strat City's six.

Tir Snake Strike's defense proved less porous than Whitehaven Triumph's, and as such, they limited Strat City's goal tally to only three - and managed to one-up that tally with four quality goals. Sascha Falkenrath again performed well for his team, scoring one goal and assisting his team's two others, scored by Victor Hawking and JKCN, but it was Tir Snake's time to shine, as Ryan Xandreas scored a brace, helped by Belarmin Worsaw and Jenny Na'Matsoo, who scored one apiece. Whitehaven Triumph, meanwhile, rebounded from their loss to Strat City, and instead of conceding six goals this week, they only conceded two - Sarah Arrowsword's sterner efforts in this game made the difference as Golden Eagles, unfortunately, ended up on the losing end of this match, when the team was hoping for a result to put them further in the league standings. Fortune, Korborg, and Pascale - the usual suspects - scored for Whitehaven, while Noveth scored a brace for the Eagles - unfortunately, not enough to lift their sagging fortunes as more blame continued to fall on goalkeeper Mia Ria.

Myrmidon and Polaris - two teams tagged as favorites for the title at the beginning of the league - both wanted the points from their encounter here, and both wanted them badly, but, as it turns out, neither of them got the full three as they drew, three goals all. Meanwhile, the fans, expecting a tight, and exciting, encounter between Ceni's two best teams, did not go home disappointed, as the game lived up to its full potential, with battles in the midfield, good saves, and high-quality goals, from both teams. Van Ciavittini, Zajon, and Billic scored for the home team, while Martel-Burns, who was seen arguing with manager del Olmo in the locker room after the draw, a temper tantrum that made tabloid headlines, Hache, and Maitfield scored for the away side. Northampton has been on a good run so far, and they continued that run with a 1-0 defeat of Fort Roy; Aksil Saidi-Sief did well in goal, while Isula Azellay scored the only goal of the match to keep his team chugging along.

Longtails barely lost to Cenial United in an exciting match that saw goals from Iain Cyn-Penzag and Saden Khalej on the home side, which of course made the home fans go wild, but the more experienced team, with internationals such as Miles Snavely and Ryan Arivelo, ended up winning this match, with goals from Snavely, Arivelo, and Nico Asturias sealing the deal for the away side. Sporting Cenial absolutely crushed Cenial Liberty in one of the Cenial mini-derbies; the away side had absolutely no chance as Souter, Rakotomaharo, and Polasic denied them any and all chances on goal, while the offense was particularly effective today, as Ceren and Garcia both scored braces, with Jake Ingram adding on an extra goal that was the cherry on top of the sundae. Phalanx AF barely managed to get past Eastern Stars, as Ryan Navir held firm for a good portion of the match; Phalanx AF's goal only came in stoppage time, when Louis Rhodes took advantage of some defensive inconsistencies to score the only goal of the match. Rushmori Drawks held 1860 Azoth to a three-all draw as 1860 Azoth struggled to defend adequately, with Ajan Varlessal and Larry Watt not coordinating as well as they have in the past. Chillotov, Daren, and Svitak all scored, and Nadia Dostoevich, the eternal youngster, went in search of a fourth goal to steal the three points, but that goal proved elusive in the end.

Tir Snake Strike enjoyed a fairly easy win over Rushmori Drawks, who put up little resistance to the 3-time Cenian Premier League champions; Belarmin Worsaw and Ryan Xandreas both scored, with the Qasdonian attacking midfielder, who had indicated that he wants to return to Port Harston in Qasden once this season is over, scoring a brace in the win. 1860 Azoth found itself in second place with a win against Phalanx AF this week, as it has been quietly ascending the table with some solid attacking play. Larry Watt, one of the best defenders ever to grace the Terranean League East, performed solidly today as well, helping to deny Phalanx AF chances, although the tensions between Phalanx AF's attackers did almost as much damage in reducing their goalscoring chances. Jace Votto of Anglatia scored for the away team, but that wasn't enough to win, of course, as Ben Chillotov and Nadia Dostoevich scored for the opposing team and took the three points with them. Eastern Stars played against Sporting Cenial in a match between two fairly defensive teams; the team that has been performing at a much more consistent level throughout the league so far, Eastern Stars, won, with Ryan Navir's solid goalkeeping and Jackie Crawford's solid goalscoring.

Longtails defeated Cenial Liberty in a match of recently-promoted teams - both of them have made it seem otherwise, though, with good performances from a couple of their players that have made it seem that they've been in the Terranean League for a while now. Iain Cyn-Penzag and Saden Khalej have so far made an effective striking team, and both scored this week against Cenial Liberty. Meanwhile, Gilead Val'Tor, Chase Ziegenhorn, and Tristan Lovelock have made for a promising striking trio at Cenial Liberty, although this week, it was the veteran Sarrbian striker Salgin Ordruvor that scored for Liberty. Cenial United ended up defeating Northampton this week by a score of three to one; although Jackie Crawford opened up scoring for the Avonian team, it was the Cenian team that ended up performing better, with goals from Miles Snavely, Asher Koromin, and Ryan Arivelo that ended up winning the game.

Myrmidon cemented its status in front of the league with a fairly routine win over Fort Roy SC; the team rested some of their most valuable players on this occasion, and didn't look worse off for it as Marco van Ciavitinni, Jacob Zajon, and Sam Billic earned some well-deserved, and needed, rest, while Stacy Sunset and Inzazi Dvulu held down the fort, scoring a goal apiece in the win. The second half of this year's Whitehaven Derby didn't involve much attacking, as it has in years past, as Polaris's defense worked fairly well to defuse the Whitehaven Triumph attack - it seemed that Kierkegaard and Onomah could see every move that Triumph was making in advance, and prevent it, as Javier Quintanilla held a clean sheet, while Tim Maitfield scored off an assist from Connie Martel-Burns to win the match - and leave the derby hopelessly deadlocked, as Whitehaven had won it 1-0 in the first half of the league. Finally, Golden Eagles took home a much-needed win against their Avonian rivals Strat City. The Cenian Triplets all scored one goal apiece, helped by the Iron Syndicate's Bianca Eaststar, who also scored, while it was Victor Hawking who performed brilliantly for Strat City out of their cast of four attackers this week, scoring a brace that added to his goal tally but unfortunately did not add to his team's points tally.

Both Golden Eagles and Polaris got valuable points on their comeback runs as both teams defeated their opponents this week. Golden Eagles absolutely crushed Tir Snake Strike this week as they looked imposing in the midfield and the offense - and the defense, with Mia Ria at the helm, wasn't looking too shabby either. The Cenian Triplets - Brahe-Antilles, Lorennion, and Noveth - and the Tumbran Twins - Henry Butler and Robert Alexander - all scored in the match. Tir Snake Strike fought back, with goals from Ryan Xandreas and Belarmin Worsaw in the second half preventing a complete shut out, but they could not stop the Avonian team and their attacking prowess. Polaris, meanwhile, defeated Strat City by a thinner margin - only two goals to one - but a win is a win is a win, especially when the Cenian team faced a 50,000 strong crowd rooting against them at the Gateway Stadium in Stratosphere City. Connie Martel-Burns and Tim Maitfield scored one apiece to avoid the prospect of a Martel-Burns breakdown, while Victor Hawking made the match competitive with his goal. Unfortunately for the home team, though, they couldn't muster any more to salvage at least a point out of this encounter.

Whitehaven Triumph, meanwhile, beat Fort Roy SC with the same scoreline - two to one - as the Avonian visitors eked out an early goal from Rudy Valencia of San Jose Guayabal's efforts, but Whitehaven soon came roaring back, thanks to good defense on the part of Sarah Arrowsword and goals from the successful strike partnership of Axel Korburg and David Pascale. Myrmidon seems to be sagging a little bit, as its second half has most definitely not been as successful as its first; this draw with Cenial United only confirms the pattern as it seems that Myrmidon is now unable to get past the other clubs at its same level. Mathis Woodgate's defense looked a little leaky today, conceding goals from Snavely, Asturias, Koromin, and Arivelo from Cenial United, and, although Myrmidon's offense was as prolific as ever, with goals from van Ciavitinni, Zajon, Billic, and Sunset, it was the defense's leakiness that doomed Myrmidon to the draw here, failing to prevent a couple of goals it should have. Northampton's defense was looking as solid as ever, with Aksil Saidi-Sief performing well in his rookie season in a professional league, having previously played in the semi-pro Amalen League in Kel Assuk. He kept a clean sheet, denying goals to the youngsters at Cenial Liberty, while Isula Azellay, his countryman, scored the only goal of the matchup to send Northampton through.

Eastern Stars' defense was also looking good today as Ryan Navir paralleled Saidi-Sief's clean sheet, denying the precocious youngsters Iain Cyn-Penzag and Saden Khalej goals, but their offense was not playing on the same level; both Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic failed to penetrate Dennis Thoda's goal, one protected by a good goalkeeper but a lesser defense. Sporting Cenial drew with 1860 Azoth on this "Week of the Defense" as Souter and Rakotomaharo backed up Callum Polasic, limiting 1860 Azoth's strong offense to only one goal - scored by Ben Chillotov - yet they only managed to score one goal of their own, from the boot of Jake Ingram, the Electrumite veteran. Finally, some of Phalanx AF's offensive problems seem to have caught up with them as they could only manage one goal against Rushmori Drawks - thanks to Jace Votto - and the Drawks scored one of their own, handing Phalanx a shock upset with the draw.

Phalanx AF seemed to move on from its offensive troubles of last week - and its surprising draw with the worst team in the league - to defeat Tir Snake Strike to hand the City Centre-based team their second loss in as many weeks, a worrying development for Arthur Arathilion's men and women. Chi-Chan and Adrian del Toro both scored for the away team, which still is hampered by its problem of having too many offensive-minded players and not enough defenders, while only Ryan Xandreas could manage a goal for the home team, which has come to love its Qasdonian star, even if he is only going to be in Ceni for a season. The Drawks themselves, meanwhile, continued to hunker down defensively, and, as Sporting Cenial did the same, the result was a scoreless draw between the two teams, even though Sporting Cenial should have converted on at least one of their goal chances. 1860 Azoth rebounded from their draw at Sporting, though, to ease past Longtails 3-1 this week, with goals from Ben Chillotov, Nadia Dostoevich, and Andrew Daren seeing them through; Iain Cyn-Penzag scored a late consolation goal, enough to ease the pain of Longtails supporters but not enough to reverse the result.

Northampton continued its streak of good form, defeating Eastern Stars in a match of two defensive-minded Avonian teams that ended with five goals scored between the two teams - one might have expected a one-zero snoozer between the two teams, but they put on a show instead. Crawford and Brankovic scored for the home team, but the away team one-upped them with three goals of their own, coming from the boots of Sydney Ryan, Isula Azellay, and Robin Horn-Townsend. Myrmidon continued its second-half struggles as it only managed to draw with Cenial Liberty and conceding three goals while at it as well. Admittedly, Gilead Val'Tor, Tristan Lovelock, and Chase Ziegenhorn, who scored the goals, are promising young footballers, but it does beg the question of whether Myrmidon's defense is truly up to snuff - clearly, Mathis Woodgate has been doing a good job, but is his back three really supporting him? Some Myrmidon fans have called for a back four to better protect their goal, while others have pointed to the old adage that "the best defense is a good offense," citing the three goals of Sam Billic, Jacob Zajon, and Stacy Sunset as evidence of their position. Whatever the result, though, Myrmidon will have to improve right here, right now, as 1860 Azoth is nipping at their heels.

Cenial United, one of the older Cenian teams, had a better result than Myrmidon this week, defeating Whitehaven Triumph in a match that was fairly exciting. Asher Koromin's opening goal, a beautiful chip over Luke Khasek's head, was worth the price of admission on its own, and Ryan Arivelo and Miles Snavely added onto that goal with goals of their own; Whitehaven Triumph scored two of their own, from Vivien Gall and Sophia Fortune, and almost had a third, but unfortunately, fortune was not on their side as they would have to settle for a loss. Strat City, though, had a better result than Whitehaven Triumph, winning 4-2 at Fort Roy with goals from all four of their main striking threats - Kubunga, JKCN, Sascha Falkenrath, and Victor Hawking. Finally, Polaris and Golden Eagles - two teams on the comeback trail, hoping to overcome poor starts in the first half with good runs in the second - fought to a one-all draw in Ceni. Although both teams had hoped for a much-needed victory, they would have to settle for this draw that at least gave both teams a point. Tim Maitfield scored for Polaris, while Will Noveth scored for Longtails.

Polaris, after their disappointing draw with Golden Eagles last week, snagged a victory at home against Tir Snake Strike, which is looking increasingly haggardly after three losses in a row. Admittedly, it's not as bad as Polaris's eleven-match winless streak in the first half, but it is causing a lot of fans to doubt whether Arthur Arathilion - good at developing youngsters - was the right choice to manage their team at this point in the league. Although they did have a good start to the season, their lagging performances now are becoming more and more frustrating to Tir Snake fans who hoped of a return to the days when they could win the league three times in a row. Martel-Burns, Maitfield, and Hache scored for the home team, while Xandreas and Worsaw scored for the visitors. Golden Eagles also rebounded from their draw with Polaris to score a one-nil home victory over Fort Roy, with Auren Brahe-Antilles striking the only blow in this contest with his fifteenth-minute goal.

Strat City hosted a 2-2 draw with Cenial United, a club itself looking increasingly off-kilter with several weeks of draws and defeats. Strat City is looking further off-pace though - at tenth place in the league, compared to sixth for Cenial United. In this draw, both teams showed signs of looking a little sluggish, on the offense and the defense, and both teams' managers should be worried about their future prospectus. Falkenrath and JKCN scored for the home team, while Koromin and Snavely scored for the visitors. Whitehaven Triumph barely scraped by Cenial Liberty, although they did manage to grab the three points; Salgin Ordruvor of Sarrbia opened up scoring for the away side, but Whitehaven, with its youthful energy, came roaring right back, as they usually do, and David Pascale and Axel Korborg, the ever-effective striking partnership, were effective today, both scoring a goal apiece. Eastern Stars defeated a rather ragged-looking Myrmidon this week, with Ryan Navir surprisingly keeping a clean sheet against one of Ceni's most prolific scoring teams. The loss was only a continuation of Myrmidon's poor form in recent weeks, though, as they were looking a little bit sluggish in the attack, which could explain their failure to score a goal. Jack Nilevian smelled opportunity, and scored a goal for his team in a strong counterattack after a Myrmidon drive failed to pick up much steam.

Northampton, in contrast to Myrmidon, has been on a run of form in recent weeks, and they continued that run with a victory over 1860 Azoth - with goalkeeper Aksil Saidi-Sief managing to maintain a clean sheet throughout the entire match against a team brimming with offensive playmakers and shotmakers. On the other end of the pitch, Azellay, Horn-Townsend, and Ryan were looking as good as ever, as each player scored a goal in their team's 3-0 victory. Rushmori Drawks managed to find opportunities for three goals within Longtails' leaky defense, but Longtails' prolific offense managed to counter that with five goals of their own. Iain Cyn-Penzag scored a brace, as did Saden Khalej, while Chris Arthur-Grosseling added on to his side's tally with a goal of his own. Finally, Sporting Cenial and Phalanx AF battled to a three-all draw along the shores of Lake Cenial; Souter and Rakotomaharo played valiantly, but could not counter Phalanx's plethora of attacking options all by themselves, as Votto, Baudelio, and Rhodes all scored; however, Sporting's offense was on a tear this week, as they managed to score three goals of their own, thanks to Alexander Ceren, Eric Garcia, and Jake Ingram's hard work.

Tir Snake Strike finally ended a run of three consecutive losses with a hard-fought victory over Sporting Cenial. Souter and Rakotomaharo were playing well for most of the match, but they could not defend well every single minute of the game, and in the end, Ryan Xandreas and Belarmin Worsaw found ways around them to score goals. Alexander Ceren scored a beautiful goal in the seventh-seventh minute, but unfortunately, that did not spark a resurgence in Sporting Cenial's attacking play, and the match ended in a loss. Phalanx AF, on the other hand, did manage to pull ahead after an initial deficit against Longtails. Iain Cyn-Penzag's goal opened play for the away side, but that spurred the home team into action, and del Toro, Rhodes, and Chi-Chan subsequently scored to give their team the win. Northampton continued their winning streak with a clean sheet victory over the Rushmori Drawks; Robin Horn-Townsend scored the only goal in the match.

1860 Azoth cemented their ascendance over Myrmidon in the league table with their win over the venerable Cenian team, one of the few Cenian teams to advance to elimination rounds of the Champions' Cup, by defeating them 2-1 at home in an extremely valuable win - one that perhaps signals that they're ready for another title run. Larry Watt and Ajan Varlessal were doing pretty well on the defense, taking advantage of Myrmidon's poor playing to hold their goals conceded to a minimum, although they did concede a goal to Jacob Zajon, while on the offense, Max Svitak and Nadia Dostoevich partnered well to score a goal apiece, with their youth and energy being the key to their victory against a tenacious Myrmidon defense led by Mathis Woodgate of Brenecia. Whitehaven Triumph, meanwhile, found themselves on the winning side of the equation against Eastern Stars, a team near the top of the table that is now actively challenging for the Terranean League East title. Fortune, Korborg, and Pascale scored for the away team to give them that victory, while the usual suspects, Crawford and Brankovic, scored for the home team.

Cenial Liberty, though, pounded another nail in Strat City's coffin by defeating them at home; Dennis Thoda, Cenial Liberty's goalkeeper, who can be mercurial at times, playing well one week and then poorly the next, was on his good side this week, holding a clean sheet throughout the match against Strat City's powerful offense, while Val'Tor and Ziegenhorn were playing well on the offense, scoring one goal apiece. Golden Eagles absolutely crushed Cenial United, an older Cenian team that appears to be falling by the wayside in terms of Terranean League dominance; the Cenian Triplets and Bianca Eaststar all scored in their team's dominant performance, while a consolation goal by Asher Koromin didn't really improve the spirits of Cenial United supporters. The match between Fort Roy and Polaris followed a similar pattern, with Polaris absolutely smashing the away team four to one - the same exact score as the earlier match, actually. Martel-Burns, Kike, Hache, and Maitfield all scored for the team that's certainly been enjoying a better second half of the season, while Rudy Valencia scored a consolation goal for Fort Roy that really didn't do much except add to his tally.

Tir Snake Strike thought they had broken their curse that saw them lose three times in a row earlier this month - that being an offense that didn't make it past poor defenses - and after their win against Sporting Cenial that seemingly broke that curse, it came back again with a scoreless draw against Fort Roy, an unfortunate development for the Cenian side. Polaris drew Cenial United, a fading team, in their comeback effort, one that has had its ups and downs - and this draw could be considered one of its downs as it could not win against a team with its glory days behind it. Maitfield and Martel-Burns scored for the home team, while Snavely and Asturias scored for the away side. Neither Golden Eagles nor Cenial Liberty are renowned for their good defenses; hence it came as a surprise that the two teams drew without a single goal scored. It was a good day for the goalkeepers, then; Mia Ria and Dennis Thoda are both talented players, and they lived up to their full potential today, but Golden Eagles, hoping for a spot in Avon's UICA tier, wanted more than just a draw in their quest to get there.

The draws continued this week - Strat City and Eastern Stars could not determine a winner from among themselves either, and both teams had to settle for the single point. Hawking and Falkenrath scored for the home side; Crawford and Brankovic, the usual suspects, scored for the visitors. Whitehaven Triumph and 1860 Azoth drew as well, with the defenses more pronounced than the offenses on both sides as Luke Khasek and Ajan Varlessal - two goalkeepers juxtaposed in age and in style - saved shot after shot after shot; only Fortune for Whitehaven and Chillatov for Azoth ended up scoring in the match. Rushmori Drawks managed one out of only two wins this week - and it wasn't against Fort Roy or another poor team. No, it was against Myrmidon, Ceni's best team in the UICA rankings, at least. Their defense managed to hold Myrmidon's offense largely mute, with the exception of a lonely Sam Billic goal, and their offense managed to penetrate Mathis Woodgate's goal, twice. It was a surprising match from some's point of view - and others felt that the result was shocking, but not surprising, as Myrmidon has been struggling as of late, failing to win one match out of the last five with a combination of poor midfield coordination and an increasing hesitation to be offensive with the ball.

Northampton and Phalanx AF drew as well - what else was there to do on this week of draws? Aksil Saidi-Sief did well to block Phalanx's shots, while at least Apostolos Tsattalios wasn't complacent in his goal on the other side of the pitch, blocking several Northampton shots as well. In the end, Chi-Chan scored for Phalanx and Azellay scored for Northampton. Finally, Sporting Cenial bucked the trend of draws with their away win against Longtails - their defense, as most other teams' defenses, was playing well, and Ceren and Garcia had the energy to slip past the Longtails defense, admittedly one of the worst in the Terranean League. Iain Cyn-Penzag, who has been lighting up the league with his goalscoring, did manage to score in this game, but it didn't help his team to draw (or win) as Souter and Rakotomaharo denied his teammates chances to score on goal throughout the game.

With only five more weeks of Terranean League East competition remaining, the race for the title is still ongoing - and close. Tir Snake Strike appeared to give up some ground in its race for the top spot in the competition when it drew with Longtails, a team with a lot of potential, but one that's currently in line to be relegated to the COTEFA Cenian League 1 once again - the competition from which it was promoted just last season. Ryan Xandreas scored for Tir Snake, while Iain Cyn-Penzag scored for Longtails. Sporting Cenial put an end to Northampton's run of form, denying them even a single goal with good performances from the usual defensive culprits - Souter and Rakotomaharo - while scoring two goals of their own, from the boots of Alexander Ceren and Eric Garcia. Myrmidon and Phalanx AF had a quite interesting battle at the Bicentennial Stadium - despite the well-known offensive tendencies of both clubs, neither managed to score a goal throughout the match as both Mathis Woodgate and Apostolos Tsattalios held firm in the goal for their respective clubs. This scoreless match has not extinguished ideas that both teams should add a fourth defender to their lineups, however.

Whitehaven Triumph apparently didn't get the "don't score too many goals" memo as they absolutely crushed Rushmori Drawks, scoring five goals in the process - an outlier in a week where no other team scored more than two goals in their matches. Fortune, Korborg, Pascale, Gall, and Bengoechea all got their names onto the scoreboard in their thrashing of the hapless Avonian side. Whitehaven's match, however, did not match 1860 Azoth and Strat City's contest at the Shadow B'betsy Stadium - like Myrmidon and Phalanx AF, neither side managed to score a single goal, despite both teams' somewhat lackluster defenses and proclivity for attacking play. Golden Eagles got a leg up against their domestic rivals who have been near the top of the table all season as they defeated Eastern Stars by the score of two to nothing; Ryan Navir's goal proved more porous than it had for most of the preceding season as Ben Lorennion and Auren Brahe-Antilles both scored, while Jackie Crawford and Visnja Brankovic, without as much backup from the midfield as they would have liked, failed to score on Mia Ria's goal.

Cenial Liberty damaged Polaris's comeback run with a one-all draw in Cenial; the disappointed Polaris will still have to make up some more ground to make it to the Cenian UICA spots, despite their fairly good performance in the Globe Cup this season. Salgin Ordruvor and Connie Martel-Burns scored for their respective sides; unfortunately, the rumors swirling around that Martel-Burns is looking to leave Polaris this season have only intensified with their poor performance domestically, although she was the chief architect of their Globe Cup run. Fort Roy SC upset Cenial United, sending them further down in the table and jeopardizing their chance for UICA results next season; it was Rudy Valencia who struck the final blow for the away side, which has Rushmori Drawks to thank for being saved from relegation.

With all the title contenders clustered together in the top spot, these next couple of matchdays will be exceedingly important in deciding who will win the second edition of the Terranean League East - so let's get straight to the action. Tir Snake Strike and Cenial United both maintained their relative positions in the race as they drew each other in a rather dull game, to be honest, with both Miles Snavely and Ryan Xandreas scoring goals for their respective teams. Fort Roy and Cenial Liberty fought to a one-all draw in Avon, as both teams really have nothing to fight for - Fort Roy is virtually assured a spot in next year's Terranean League virtue of Rushmori Drawks' poor performance throughout this season - they're three points ahead of the struggling Avonian team and would need the other team to get at least four points in the next four days while Fort Roy secured nothing, a feat that would be unlikely, to say the least, while Cenial Liberty would need quite a few points in order to avoid relegation, a fate they seemed to have resigned themselves to. As a result, neither really brought their A game to the match, and it showed in the quality, although Gilead Val'Tor did score for his team.

Polaris gained a valuable three points in their race for UICA spots next year, and they sent Eastern Stars sinking lower with their impressive 2-1 win. Although Ryan Navir put up a big fight in goal, saving several shots that would have otherwise been goals, but in the end, as the Borg would say, "resistance is futile" as Polaris's big guns kept on trying, and trying, and trying, and, as the old adage goals, "Try, try again, sometime you'll succeed," and succeed Polaris did, with Connie Martel-Burns and Tim Maitfield each scoring a goal to outweigh Visjna Brankovic's opener. 1860 Azoth's lead in the title race started to slip, if barely, with a loss to Golden Eagles, a team that also badly needs the points to contend for one of Avon's coveted UICA spots, and they gave it their all this week, as the Cenian Triplets, and Bianca Eaststar, scored; Dostoevich and Nikazic, two of the numerous attacking players that 1860 Azoth has in its arsenal, converted on their chances, but not enough of their players did so in order to give the team some extra insurance in their title race. They'll need to be on their toes to prevent further slippage.

The Rushmori Drawks notched only their fourth win of the season, this time against Strat City, which is now outside the UICA places and dangerously close to relegation - even though it's guaranteed to be a battle between their opponents and Fort Roy SC. The latter team in that pair looked onto this result with shock and dismay as the Drawks won one of the only derby matches in Avon, although they still have a three-point lead in points over their rivals from Stratosphere City. Phalanx AF, meanwhile, edged closer to their long-coveted title with a gritty win over Whitehaven Triumph; Fortune, Korborg, and Pascale scored for the home team, but Sarah Arrowsword and Luke Khasek could not prevent the barrage of Phalanx goals that came as their offense was firing on all cylinders; goals came from del Toro, Rhodes, Chi-Chan, Votto, and Baudelio in their ultimately victorious outing.

Myrmidon, meanwhile, seems to be sagging in the title race as they conceded their match to Sporting Cenial - a team that is, even with this win, outside the UICA spots. Callum Polasic brought his A-game to the match, keeping a clean sheet, while Alexander Ceren and Eric Garcia brought theirs as well, both scoring goals to send Myrmidon even further down in the race for the title. Finally, Northampton, which had that good run of form a couple of weeks ago, now looks dead in the water as that run of form has evaporated into thin air; Aksil Saidi-Sief's defense, which was once praised as one of the best in the Terranean League, now looks like a shadow of its former self as it conceded three goals to Longtails, admittedly one of the sides in the Terranean League with the greatest scoring talent, with Iain Cyn-Penzag celebrating a hat trick on the pitch. Northampton's trio of attackers, Ryan, Horn-Townsend, and Azellay, managed to get goals past the leaky Longtails defense, but they could not keep pace with the defense's surprising hemorrhaging of goals.

All teams from Ceni and the Isles of Avon have been eliminated from international competition, unfortunately - which means it's time for the clubs to narrow their focus to that last-minute push for the title and next season's UICA spots, which are still up for grabs. Most of the teams are bunched up at the top - the leading team, 1860 Azoth, is on 47 points, and Phalanx AF is at 44. Six more teams are within three points of Phalanx AF - which means that, with only three weeks of competition remaining, the title is still very much up for grabs! Tir Snake Strike - and Northampton - looked further distant from their goals this week, with the teams' 2-2 draw keeping them about the level of the other teams - but even three points can make the difference between life and death here in this intensely competitive league, and both teams needed all the points they could get if they were to stay on track for the title, hence both sides' disappointment. Worsaw and Xandreas scored for the home team; Horn-Townsend and Ryan scored for the visitors.

Myrmidon, once the favorite to win the title, has seen its title prospects dry up in the last couple of weeks as their level has abruptly, and surprisingly, dropped. Longtails has cemented the evaporation of their title hopes; in taking the full three points from Myrmidon, Longtails will consign Myrmidon to the Globe Cup if 1860 Azoth gets so much as a point, and that's not taking into account other teams, such as Eastern Stars and Phalanx AF, which are hot on the leading team's tale. Cyn-Penzag, Khalej, and Arthur-Grosseling looked imposing in scoring past a tired and wearied Myrmidon defense; Jacob Zajon and Sam Billic managed to penetrate Longtails' leaky defense, but, for whatever reason, could not manage two more which would have kept them on track to have at least a chance of winning the title.

Sporting Cenial defeated Whitehaven Triumph fairly easily, as Souter and Rakotomaharo snuffed out the Whitehaven offense, while Ceren and Garcia scored goals against Whitehaven's fairly weak defense, although Sarah Arrowsword performed valiantly in her team's losing effort. Phalanx AF and Strat City drew, frustrating Phalanx's attempt to catch up with 1860 Azoth and grab the title after finishing second in last season's Terranean League East. Louis Rhodes and Chi-Chan scored for the disappointed home team, while Kubunga and JKCN scored for the away team, one that has been struggling over the course of the league cycle as they languish in the bottom of the table despite outstanding young offensive players to keep them going even farther. Golden Eagles just barely got past Rushmori Drawks, and they appear on track to grab that last Avonian UICA spot with their win; goals from Noveth and Brahe-Antilles secured the valuable three points.

Polaris absolutely crushed 1860 Azoth as the latter team's lead at the top of the table is looking precariously thin, while the former team is getting closer and closer to the top of the table after their pretty crappy first half of the season, moving into fourth place on the table. Corinne Martel-Burns led the onslaught, scoring a hat trick, as her teammate Tim Maitfield also proved instrumental in the victory, notching a goal and an assist; Cedric Hache also performed well, scoring a goal himself and adding on an assist. That trio has been the core of Polaris's offense, along with Kike, and despite their early season troubles, they are on a roll nowadays. Goals from Max Svitak and Sam Ebash could not protect 1860 Azoth from the onslaught. Eastern Stars breezed past Fort Roy SC, a team that never provided much of a threat to the second-placed team in the table; Brankovic, Nilevian, and Crawford scored. Dennis Thoda must have brought his A-game to the match as he kept a clean sheet against Cenial United's strong offense, and Iain Cyn-Penzag's textbook strike denied the visitors valuable points they needed to grab one of Ceni's valuable UICA spots.

It's crunch time in the Terranean League as this week's matches determine who needs to work hard to stay alive in this tight contest - and who must go home with sagging shoulders. Tir Snake Strike continued their status in the top five with a win over Cenial Liberty, although their UICA spot could be in doubt come next week as they're less than three points ahead of Sporting Cenial and Whitehaven Triumph - two teams on the brink of the last Globe Cup spot. Worsaw and Xandreas scored for the visitors, while Salgin Ordruvor scored for the home side. Despite Cenial Liberty's good performance in the Terranean League East, though, the relegation battle will not exist come the last week - the three relegated sides have pretty much cemented their fate. Neither Longtails nor Cenial Liberty can move ahead of Cenial United - despite that team's loss this week - and Rushmori Drawks cannot move ahead of Fort Roy SC unless they win by a margin of seven goals to even out the goal difference between the two - something that's extremely unlikely. Eastern Stars just scraped by Cenial United by the margin of one goal, scored by Jackie Crawford, as they cemented their status as Avon's representative in the Champions' Cup, while Cenial United will have to keep it together next week - against 1860 Azoth, no less - to earn a spot in UICA.

1860 Azoth easily swept aside their opposition in Fort Roy SC and drifted away from the rest of the pack (at least the Cenian competitors, anyway) as they guaranteed themselves a Champions' Cup spot - but their status as titleholder still isn't confirmed, as they'll need to win against Cenial United, admittedly an out-of-form team, to secure their status as champions. Chillotov, Daren, Dostoevich, Nikazic, Svitak, and Ebash, Azoth's entire cast of attacking characters, all got their names on the scoresheet in their dominant win. Polaris didn't want to be outdone, and although they conceded three goals against Rushmori Drawks, they didn't let that stop them from winning as they scored seven in response; Connie Martel-Burns scored a hat trick yet again, and Maitfield, Kike, Hache, and Moskowitz added on goals against a team with a substandard defense.

Golden Eagles and Phalanx AF drew one-all at the Field of Gold, stymieing Phalanx AF in their quest to gain the title yet again - they've drawn two times in the last two weeks, crunch time in the league, and in fact, after this week's draw, they can no longer overtake the leading team and win the title; their fans were quite disappointed in how the team's effort seems to have faltered when they were so close to their goal. Chi-Chan and del Toro scored for the visitors; Noveth and Brahe-Antilles scored for the home team. Sporting Cenial cemented Strat City's demise as the team will be unable to compete in the Globe Cup next cycle - they cannot overtake Northampton, the next Avonian team in the table. The home team put up a valiant and strong fight, but the partnership of Souter and Rakotomaharo kept Strat City's attackers at bay for long enough to give time for Ingram, Ceren, and Garcia to score; Hawking and Falkenrath scored in the team's losing effort. However, Sporting Cenial cannot rest easy next week, for Whitehaven Triumph will be hot on their tails to overtake them in points - a win will be vital in their campaign for UICA spots.

Whitehaven Triumph absolutely crushed Longtails, one of the two teams relegated to the COTEFA Cenian League 1, bringing them closer to their rivals Sporting Cenial and UICA action once again with their six to nil victory, one of the largest this season. Korborg, Pascale, and Fortune all managed to score braces, with important contributions from Gall and Bengoechea, who each notched two assists apiece in the absolutely dominant game against a team with a hapless defense, while Sarah Arrowsword and Luke Khasek worked together to keep attacking threats Iain Cyn-Penzag and Saden Khalej at bay. Myrmidon's 1-0 victory against Northampton cemented the latter team's demise as they've fallen down the table after a run of form saw them as high as sixth; Marco van Ciavitinni's goal gave his team three points, although, surprisingly, Myrmidon's UICA position is in doubt - the right set of results (or wrong ones, depending on your point of view) could send Ceni's most celebrated team internationally packing out of UICA contention. A win, meanwhile, would cement their position for good.

With that, the stage for the last set of Terranean League East matches is set. Who will progress to UICA? Who will win the championship? Find out next week here at the Terranean League!

It's the last week of Terranean League East competition, and the title is on the line as 1860 Azoth and Eastern Stars are both in contention for the championship heading into the first matchday. Tir Snake Strike had a lead against Myrmidon for most of their match as the home crowd cheered them on. That same crowd, however, looked on in horror as Myrmidon came rocketing back from a 4-2 deficit to win the match 5-4 with a strong performance from the veteran team. Xandreas scored a brace, helped by Na'Matsoo and Worsaw, the Cosumarite striking pair, but ultimately, Myrmidon's lineup proved superior, with goals from Sunset, Dvulu, Billic, Zajon, and van Ciavitinni. Myrmidon moves up to fourth in the table as a result of all this, sending Tir Snake Strike down to seventh, but they will still take the UICA slot, thanks to Whitehaven Triumph's draw with Northampton. Aksil Saidi-Sief was able to keep his goal secure for most of the match against Whitehaven's prolific offense, although Fortune and Gall scored, and the Ryan and Horn-Townsend scored for his team to keep things all tied up, denying Whitehaven Triumph a trip to the Gold Cup.

Strat City was pretty much stuck in the gray area in the Terranean League East, neither going on to international competition nor being relegated, so they didn't have much to play for. Neither did Longtails, for that matter, already relegated; the result was an insipid 2-2 draw with mediocre play from both sides as it looked like neither side really wanted to be out there and give it their all. Falkenrath and Kubunga scored for the home team; Cyn-Penzag and Khalej scored for the visitors. Golden Eagles was pretty much secure in their UICA spot - Strat City could not catch up to them, but Sporting Cenial, on the other hand, needed to secure their UICA spot and top placing in the league with a win, and they followed through on that goal, with Ceren, Garcia, and Ingram contributing to the winning effort, outscoring Golden Eagles and their goals from Lorennion and Noveth. Phalanx AF totally crushed Polaris, just when Polaris thought they were in a pretty good spot in the league. Goals from Rhodes, Chi-Chan, del Toro, and Votto sent Polaris down to sixth, as they could not match their opponents' goal count with their sole goal from Connie Martel-Burns, while Phalanx AF managed to move up to second place... the same placing that they had last year. Some things never change.

Fort Roy sealed Rushmori Drawks' relegation - something that was pretty much set in stone already - with their away victory at the Gateway Stadium, with Rudy Valencia declared most valuable player of the match for his two goals against the clearly weaker team. 1860 Azoth needed a win to secure the title - and win they did, which put them further ahead of Eastern Stars, who managed to lose to Cenial Liberty, one of the two teams relegated to the COTEFA Cenian League 1. Svitak, Ebash, Dostoevich, and Chillotov scored as the team celebrated Chillotov's last goal to give the team a second overall title - a pretty momentous occasion for the team. Cenial United's Asher Koromin and Miles Snavely managed to score goals, but it's clear that the team's best days have been behind them and that they need to look for new options to do better in the future. Cenial Liberty, despite the certainty of their relegation, was playing pretty well against Eastern Stars, and despite the necessity of a win to have a chance - which turned out to be a chance of zero with 1860 Azoth's win at the end of the day - their defense wasn't playing all that great, allowing Gilead Val'Tor and Chase Ziegenhorn to score one goal apiece, while Jackie Crawford could not keep pace with her single goal.

So, that's it, folks! 1860 Azoth won their first title of the TLE and their second title overall, with Phalanx AF finishing second. In other news, there will be no changes to the size of the field (or its name) next season - so, until the next season of the Terranean League East, we're out! See you then!

A quiet transfer window sees few players in and out
This was again quite a quiet season on the international transfer market as not a lot of top sides went for splashy moves - or really any moves at all, with just a dozen or so players moving in and out of the league and some getting reshuffled among the teams themselves. Burnton 1963 plopped some cash to help them with their Champions' Cup campaign, picking up the Kel Assukian midfielder Seyni Ait Ahmed, who is the crucial playmaker of an up-and-coming national team, as well as veteran Cenian forward Xavier Lobo from Tir Snake Strike, who should hopefully help with the team's offense. Centralis Heart did not look too far for new talent, picking up the Sameban winger Santo Zito, who was forced out of Eura due to those nations' conflict in the Sameban War, and the young Euran forward Lewis Phoenix.

The Gelderlish sides also acquired some new players from abroad over the window. Arrowhead Point shored up their defense with the Euran center back John Goulding, who should hopefully help to hold the team's rickety defense together. Lexington Victory managed to snag the Drawkian international Cam Cross, one of the agents of that team's meteoric rise to the top of the international scene, which should help with their offensive production, the backbone of Lexington's strategy. Celtic Noviodunum also added to the backbone of their strategy as well by grabbing the Sunrisian defender Paranawê for a very good price from Izotz Zubia. Paranawê is a very credible left back, contributing to two World Cup titles, and he should enhance their defensive efforts, making it one of the best in the Terranean League - and perhaps one of the best in the entire world. They also added the attacking midfield threat Tuw Turk, arguably the finest player from the nation of Bonesea, which should help with their offensive potential as well.

Celtic Noviodunum, Centralis Heart, and Lexington Victory again expected to top table
For the winners of the league this season, we'd have to go with one of these three teams - they've been so dominant at the top of the league for the last few Terranean League seasons that it would be practically unthinkable for another team to win the title. All three cemented their teams over the transfer window, and all three - which have all seen some sort of success internationally in UICA - are exceptionally strong teams. Celtic Noviodunum has perhaps the best defense in the league, with Eliot Horn, Paranawê, and Liam Kirkpatrick anchoring it; the partnership between Jay Irikor and Kira Koromin, meanwhile, has kept the team salient in the offense, and the addition of Tuw Turk should help with this as well. Centralis Heart has a more balanced strategy that takes on elements from both the offense and the defense; they recently added Finn Killarney, formerly of Celtic Noviodunum, to their ranks to help shore up their defense, while Santo Zito and Lewis Phoenix should be good additions to John McCormack in the front to keep the team scoring offensively. Finally, Lexington Victory has one of the best offenses in the league, if not the best, with playmakers in the midfield such as Diego Bandos and Srecko Brekovic, as well as the Sakho brothers helping to serve as a conduit between the midfield and the offense and the striking pair of Cedric Koo and Cam Cross.

Below those three teams, there is the "second tier" of teams such as Royal Queenstown, FC Fairleigh-Warburton, Somer City and Surrounds, Burnton 1963, Olympic Nassau Bay, and Vaduz Portcullis that can expect to challenge for that fourth Champions' Cup spot. Most of the Electrumite teams, and Royal Queenstown from New Gelderland, are fairly defensive so we can expect to see only a few goals in some of these crucial matches; on the other hand, Olympic and Vaduz are fairly offensive teams, so their strategy will revolve around their striking teams to get goals past those defensive teams. It will be exciting to watch the battles for these lower international spots, as most of these second tier teams are fairly equal to each other, so there will be some competitive matches in this upcoming season.

The early favourites again dominating the table

No surprise that Celtic Noviodunum and Centralis Heart have made it into the top three, but what is interesting to note here is that Lexington Victory, always overshadowed by Celtic as the number one Gelder team, have a clear one match advantage over the top teams of the two nations - a position they were always likely to get but didn't -- though, there are always the naysayers that say that Lexington didn't deserve their place in the top spot of the table after they suffered a 6-2 drubbing at the hands of Centralis Heart, it's not necessarily that their performance has gotten better, it's that the other two teams have been upset more than usual this season, notably with Celtic Noviodunum having seven losses to balance their draw and eleven victories - manager Willoughby sweating it out after several questionable judgments like mixing up the team structure to the severely outdated pyramid formation, perhaps it was better that he didn't mess around with the formation. The Heart have had a more consistent season under the stewardship of Carmichael Delahunty with new additions like Euran Lewis Phoenix providing badly needed support on the Heart's lacking wings. What's surprising is FC Fairleigh-Warburton's performance so far has been middling at best, despite the fact that historically they used to do very well in the old Terranean League and winning the shield competition in the last season.

Vaduz Portcullis have rebounded from their poor last season

Surprisingly, after a terrible season where they were the last team to not be relegated (coming in fourth-last out of twenty teams), they have had an excellent comeback. They still had a high quality team thanks to the selection choices of previous manager Cindy Holmwood (Ramirez, Paris and Knight come to mind), but she just didn't know how to strategise properly, at times last season, the team were ill-disciplined, lacked structure and didn't seem to have a game plan, for example, former captain Sanui Shizuka had the tendency to go off formation, allowing the opposing side to control the middle. Now with a new manager in Electrumite manager Walter Stott, the team has turned round its fortunes, currently in fourth place at the first half of the competition. It's even more of an achievement for Vaduz Portcullis given that they are one of a few teams to have two women in the offensive half, showing that they can stick it to the man. Knight and Ramirez especially, have taken that Electrumite NT experience and translated it to leadership in the field. The question is: will they be able to continue their performance in the second half of the competition? Conventional wisdom says yes, that's the nature of the game, but Stott sweared that he will do whatever it takes to take his team into the Champions Cup, "so help me god."

Core teams occupying middle of the table

The milleu of the middle: constantly fighting for those elusive Globe Cup spot, these teams are the ones that are usually financially strapped but there are a few surprises that have made it into the middle of the table. This includes the aforementioned FC Fairleigh-Warburton, who have suffered thanks to the loss of talisman Nicholas Henry, their star striker, due to a season-ending knee injury in Week 15, in their narrow victory against Union Queenstown and subsequently his team losing three of the next four matches. Another surprising introduction to the middle milleu is Somer City and Surrounds, who had a run in the Champions Cup last season continued their slippage in form this season, dropping from fifth to eighth place, attributed to their lack of depth in their playing roster, causing their players to be very tired when they play their all-out offense strategy for a full ninety minutes. It's been causing a lot of headaches because foreign players like Varelovsky and our Electrumite's Jess Fielding have had to balance their World Cup 78 qualification commitments with the domestic season commitments, causing a very crowded schedule along with all of the other shield, international and cup tournaments that the team is scheduled to play in. Pinkerton FC, who were the former dominant leaders of the old E-League, have been going from strength to strength in recent seasons, Natasha Lestrade and Catherine Bennett, despite their second string status in their National Team, has been stepping up to the plate every match with good efficiency and a high workrate, a commendable effort at the urgings of manager Edgar Neubauer. It may only be a few seasons now before they usurp the place that had been formerly theirs, at the top of the table. Finally, Royal Queenstown is in the mix with the Ipirina-Ceka duo up front bringing in those crucial goals to stay afloat, having a larger amount of goals compared to their counterparts in the middle-top part of the table. They have had a lot of hometown rivalry with the newly promoted Union Queenstown with sell-out matches when they played in Queenstown with a thrilling 3-all draw to a sell out crowd at the Coliseum.

Some surprises as Olympic Nassau Bay, Burnton 1963 near the relegation zone

As the two teams that came third and fourth last season, they have struggled to balance their international commitments with domestic commitments. For Burnton, it is their first time playing in the Champions Cup (for Olympic Nassau Bay they're in the Globe Cup after being edged out of their CC spot for not winning the Copa Terranea), and their team has suffered due to exhaustion, with them sitting on 16th place, coming perilously close to the relegation zone at times during the season. For Olympic Nassau Bay, they're sitting in 14th place after their stunning top-four performance last season. For some, it is their relative inexperience at the top as well as their relatively 'flukey' performance last season means that has been the main reason why they've been doing badly this season. Nonetheless, it is expected for them to at least have a better second half of the season given that the majority of the matches that both teams lost occurred very early on in the season, they seem to finally have found their footing to possibly salvage at least a Globe Cup position in time for the end of the season. As the old Electrum damage, what's done in the first half can be reversed in the second. It is a matter of whether both teams have the drive and the will to succeed: Chris Hardy and Beth Jacobson have a lot on their hands to ensure that this can happen, though their minds are still cast on furthering their run into their respective UICA competitions.

Newcomers to the league not adjusting to the demands of competition

The bottom dwellers of the Western Table is known for being more like a revolving door rather than a one-way door, with teams such as the Prescott Wolves and Hamilton Sandstorm constantly flitting between two different leagues. Of the three teams that advanced into the top tier, two are struggling, and it's the usual suspects with: Hamilton Sandstorm sitting on 17th and Union Queenstown even lower at 19th. Only Lexington Conflagration, a team which returned to the top flight after a long stint out (their last appearance was pre-TL1 expansion) have adjusted well, sitting in 9th place. For Hamilton and Union Queenstown, it's a story of instability: with constant victories in COTEFA League One and losses in TLW, the teams have had trouble getting a foothold in the top flight, and are widely expected to continue their form and be relegated into the lower tiers again. What sets them apart from their peers in League One is their access to their residual money and capital resources from being in TLW, which enables them to get better (including international) players, destroying their mainly amateur opponents, but being unable to move further up into the old boy's club of the top flight. Only Conflagration, a team made mostly of Gelder players have done so well, due to their cohesive structure and community spirit.

Lexington Victory are champions - just by a hair

In the end, with the two teams tied on points, it came down to the nominated tie-breaker to separate Lexington Victory and Celtic Noviodunum, but it came to the Week 17 match where the two teams played each other and Lexington Victory eked out a 4-2 victory (they had a draw in their subsequent encounter). It was an unfortunate own goal by Kendall as well as Lexington's star Quebecois player, Koo (who had contributed a hat-trick of his own) that proved the difference just 21 weeks later that Lexington Victory deserved to be the winners. On paper, despite them having the same goal difference as Celtic, they've been a lot more adventurous and offensive thanks to the tutelage of manager Scotty Marston, scoring 78 goals to Celtic's 68. Unlike other leagues, both top teams lost a quarter of the time, meaning that the Terranean League is one of the more equitable leagues, it's not impossible to beat the top teams (thanks to an instituted salary cap) so surprises such as Lexington Victory winning the championship is not at all impossible. They just had the right people at the right time, and there was nothing more effective then the Sakho brothers on offense from Semarland, who have formed the backbone of the Lexington Victory team from the beginning. They're telepathic, have good match intelligence and are always finding those opportunities that the opponent just doesn't see.

Arrowhead Point surprisingly earn trip to the Champions' Cup

The surprise was how Arrowhead Point beat everyones expectations and managed to win their first entry into the Champions Cup, coming in tenth at the halfway point of the cycle, have only appeared once in the international competitions, a Globe Cup appearance just three seasons ago. Now, it's a whole other story -- no one had really expected them to challenge for a Globe Cup spot, but to go all the way up to the top four was a real surprise, and the shock of the season, no one had foresaw the team with zero Electrumite or Gelder players would do so well -- recent acquisitions by manager Clarke of Euran John Goulding and Cenian Kor Xalan at the back-line, as well as other players on the midfield, have completely invigorated the team, and gave the team access to younger pairs of legs -- they've had been beset with ageing players in the previous few seasons.

Celtic Noviodunum and Centralis Heart continue consistent performance

Unlike the surprise rise of Arrowhead Point, Centralis Heart and Celtic Noviodunum continue their role as stalwarts in the top four, with both teams being guaranteed a spot in the Champions Cup. There's really not much to say about them at this point -- they've consistently had the best players as well as the best development programs off the field. Centralis Heart has so many star strikers such as Fernando (who is both this team's captain as well as the Electrum NT's captain) and Morgan-Brown scoring so many goals, and with other names such as Schottia's McCormack and Eura's Phoenix, there's not that many teams that can beat a switched on Centralis Heart. The reverse case is true for Celtic, with strong emphasis on defence, Eliot Horn is bar none the best goalkeeper of the entire competition - he just seems to get a read on where the ball's going even before the kickers themselves know where they're going. It's this sense of reflexes and not making mistakes that earns Eliot the top spot on the best goalkeeper list, and he is one of the main reasons why Celtic Noviodunum's dominance just continues and continues.

The regular teams are again into Globe Cup spaces - few surprises

The usual suspects are here -- these teams are the consistent teams, they've rarely put a foot wrong, but are always on the threshold of a CC spot, this time it's Royal Queenstown who misses out on a CC spot by just two points, but with strong performances in the second half (especially from FC Fairleigh-Warburton, Somer City, Olympic Nassau Bay) these ones are comfortable in their spots in the GC. For FC Fairleigh-Warburton, it took two and a half months of waiting, but their patience was well rewarded with the return of Nick Henry had strings of three and five wins in a row, neutralising and then some of their string of losses suffered in the first half of the season. Somer City's also strung together a lot of high quality performance, after being knocked out early of this cycle's Globe Cup competition, it's allowed the team to recover and rest -- they had a higher workrate as a result. Olympic Nassau Bay and Burnton 1963 round out the six entrants for next cycle's Globe Cup.

Olympic Nassau Bay and Burnton 1963 claw their way up the table; Pinkerton falters

Remarkably, despite their extremely poor starts at the season, where both teams were quite close to the relegation zone, they've gone full steam ahead in the second half, clawing their way up to a GC spot at the expense of Pinkerton and Lexington Conflagration (a team that has been newly promoted this season). It seems that both teams have finally managed to find a balance in participating in both international and domestic competitions with both of these teams making it to the quarterfinals of the Globe Cup. Surprisingly, what seemed like a poisoned chalice in the beginning turned out to just what the team needed to get ahead of the pack in the latter stages of the season. With their continued performance and clear priority aimed at the international competition, they kept facing higher and higher quality players from different nations (who each have their own quirks), this allowed them to easily translate those adaptability skills into the domestic league when facing teams such as the Grenville Sailors and Lexington Conflagration, who play very aggressive, very vintage styles of football. Both teams have stepped up to the plate, and it is this reason that they have pushed out Pinkerton from 5th to 11th (the difference between Pinkerton and these two teams was just a singular point (it was Pinkerton FC's shock loss to a resurgent Nassau Bay Independence in Week 37 that sealed the deal).

New teams have mixed results in first flight

Despite the gloomy predictions made at the end of the first half of the seasons, none of those ever eventuated with Union Queenstown and Hamilton Sandstorm coming dangerously close to the relegation zone, but they were just three points off that fate (which eventually befall to Grenville Sailors, Club 24 - the other Prescottian team, and Astrolabe). Union Queenstown have continued their pattern of narrowly losing those very close matches that could be 50-50 either way: such as a freak sudden gust of wind against Vaduz Portcullis, which allowed them to score a goal when Ryan Whitaker's kick of the ball went backwards and flew back into the goal, causing Queenstown to lose 2-1. This pattern is confirmed by the fact that despite having the same record as Hamilton Sandstorm, they have a goal difference of -6, compared to Hamilton's -11. Hamilton Sandstorm are just relieved to stay another season in the top flight, as Electrum's number 3 city, it has been a source of major embarrassment to not have a team in the top flight but this relatively young team is expected to improve and make significant leaps ahead in future seasons, especially with the development of players such as Phillip and Jacob Armistead who are set to be groomed to join the National Team.

Teams from Rio Oscuro to be added to TLW pyramid next season

In a surprise decision, the Electrumite and Gelder Football governing bodies have decided to add Rio Oscuro provisionally as part of the newly-renamed COTEFA competition, with four teams from Rio Oscuro directly joining the top flight to make it a 24 team competition. This extends the season to 46 matches, but with the increased quality of competition due to the entrance of four high-quality teams, it is sure to expand the influence of Terranean football across the multiverse further.

Ventura Bay win COTEFA League One
Ventura Bay was a surprise candidate for the championship of the COTEFA League One, and even a surprise candidate for promotion; they had only spent a couple of seasons in this second-flight competition, and were founded in the depths of the Electrumite third-tier league, so many didn't think they were going to end up topping the league - yet they have a strong youth academy and some key players in the Cenian youngsters Avi Renning in the midfield and Zarel Sontebren in the defense so they were able to shock most of the observers, who thought that Kale Island, Agri Foodbowl, or Condor Strike were going to win the league at the beginning of the season. Ventura Bay was definitely an unheralded winner, and they will be hoping to carry on their form in the next season, despite strong demand to pull away their main stars Renning and Sontebren.

Revolving door continues, but some top flight teams fail to be immediately promoted
Condor Strike had just been relegated from the Terranean League West last season, but they turned around this season in the COTEFA League One and won second place, getting promoted right back up to the first flight of Terranean League competition. It's been a little bit longer of a wait for Boudica Noviodunum, but they're back in the TLW as well. This phenomenon - where the same teams ping-pong about between the TLW and the COTEFA League 1 - has continued for the past couple of seasons, but it isn't immediate. Agri Foodbowl and Kale Island Dwarfs, relegated last season, for example, got fifth and sixth in the league, meaning they will have to wait a little while to return to the top flight. There were some surprising teams that just got promoted out of the 3rd tier of TLW football, Ventura Bay and Westmore Bluffs, that had some success, but those teams are only exceptions to the revolving door norm.

Lower leagues: the revolving door norm for now
This revolving door norm is also in place for the lower leagues, within Electrum and New Gelderland themselves, as the teams just like to swap around between the COTEFA League One and the COTEFA League Two, especially among the teams in New Gelderland as the COTEFA League Two there isn't all that competitive. For example, Sentinel Peak and Hesperidium Gardens, the two Gelderlish teams relegated from the L1 last season, were promoted back up there this season, and Scepter Queenstown relegated back to the L2S. The Electrumite portions don't have as much of a pattern here, but it still exists; Kingsley and Auras have both spent stints in the L1.

[Terranean League]

Celtic Noviodunum celebrates Champions' Cup success
Celtic Noviodunum reached the Champions' Cup quarterfinals this year in a fairly successful international performance. In the Group Stages, they had thumping home wins over defending champions Real Azuris, as well as persistent 95X team Twentytwo Cacti and Champions' Cup newcomers Portus Independent, who replicated Celtic Noviodunum's feat in qualifying for the group stages as an unranked team. However, away matches were a little bit trickier, as they lost to Azuris and Cacti, drawing with Portus. In the end, they were exactly tied with Real Azuris on overall goal difference, overall goals scored and conceded, and head-to-head record, with the Cosumarite team only prevailing on away goals, one of the tiebreakers farther down the list.

In the knockout stages, Celtic Noviodunum barely managed to defeat the storied Nepharim side AFC Treason in the octofinals, with the contest decided on away goals. After winning 1-0 at home, the team lost 2-1 in Nephara, but that one away goal from Kira Koromin was quite crucial in securing the team's advancement. The team wasn't quite as successful in the quarterfinal round, losing to Flanders FC, outside the top 50 teams, in a fairly disappointing fashion, conceding four goals and only scoring one, off Jay Irikor's boot, across the two legs. Nonetheless, a quarterfinal finish is still one to be proud of.

Burnton 1963 and Olympic Nassau Bay reach Globe Cup quarterfinals; Lexington Victory also successful
Burnton 1963 had a fairly dominant group stage, winning five of their matches and only drawing one, which was amazing, especially considering the team's competitive group and their poor play in the domestic season over the first half of competition. They won all three of their home matches, including a 4-0 smashing of revered Euran side Directus and a 2-1 win against the Cenian side Polaris, and two of their three away matches, only drawing against Directus. In the sixteenth-finals, they had two easy legs against Schottia's Handon United, winning 2-0 and 2-1 to move on to the next round. In the eighth-finals, they had a bit of a harder matchup, facing Farf team Madorre de Fuego. Electrum's Dom Potter scored the only goal in the first leg, and even though they lost 2-1 in the second leg, Seyni Ait Ahmed's goal sent them through to the quarterfinals on away goals. In the quarterfinals, they put up a strong fight against the Euran team Revolutionaries, but they couldn't defeat them, losing 2-1 overall, but it was a good performance from a historically underperforming team. Overall, it looks like the team's investments in Lobo and Ait Ahmed have paid off, as the two of them have been instrumental in the club's UICA success.

Olympic Nassau Bay, the favored team of New Gelderland's largest city, also managed to reach the Globe Cup quarterfinals, relying on their two veterans from Schottia, Mark Allen and Thio Crillin, as well as a third, goalkeeper Anna Kurovski. Its group stage was a little bit complicated, as three teams in the group had exactly four wins and two losses - so there was a three-way tie in the group. ONB could only prevail on head-to-head goal difference against KT Itzalovalle, a strong team from Audioslavia, but nonetheless, they advanced to the sixteenth-finals, where they would face SC Oceanside, a well-regarded team from 95X. They won 2-0 in the first leg, thanks to goals from Crillin and Allen, but lost the second leg 1-0; thankfully, the margin in the first leg carried them through to the eighth finals, where they would face Vilita's Jungle Strike FC. There, they conceded the first leg 2-1, but a late goal from Allen kept the team in business; at home, though, they kept the Vilitan team scoreless, while Crillin and Allen scored to move the team into the quarterfinals. There, the margin was again one goal, but they were unfortunately on the losing side of it, this time to Sabrefell Moths, as the Nepharim team scored the only goal of the tie.

Lexington Victory also made it out of the group stages in the Globe Cup. The club had a tougher than anticipated group stage, only managing 8 points, one ahead of the third and fourth placed teams, but still managed to advance to the sixteenth-finals; there, they bowed out to Madorre de Fuego of Farfadillis. After the first two legs, the score was even at 3-3, with no winner able to be determined by the away goals rule, but the Farf team was able to score two goals in extra time past a haggard-looking Lexington team. At least Burnton 1963 was able to get revenge on them in the next round, and an elimination-round finish in the Globe Cup isn't anything to scoff at. Centralis Heart also made it to the elimination rounds of the Globe Cup, with the Electrumite team's 6-3 victory over Zwangzug's Excelsior Slogda sending them through to the eighth-finals, where they were promptly defeated by Revolutionaries by a small margin, 2-1.

Celtic celebrates top 10 status, New Gelderland reaches top 12
Overall, it was a fairly decent season for teams in the TLW - New Gelderland had an all-time high of 12.500 points added to its coefficient, one of the top 5 nations in this season, and they managed to get into the top 12 of the UICA rankings, a marker that reserves the nation certain spots in the group stages of UICA competition. Celtic Noviodunum, with a haul of 20.500 coefficient points, was able to take advantage of the decline of the Sunrisian and Guayabalense leagues and enter into the top 10 of the UICA rankings - becoming the first Terranean League club, either East or West, to do so. Still, they are only the #4 Rushmori team - the success of the Euran and Nepharim leagues means that Rushmore occupies 3 of the other top 10 spots, including the #1 spot with Eura's Ulsa.

No surprises in Copa Terranea final four
Lo and behold, all three of the Copa Terranea powers featured in the Copa Terranea semifinals, making for some very juicy clashes, along with Vaduz Portcullis - a team that had the potential to get there. Lexington Victory's offense managed to penetrate Celtic Noviodunum's defense twice, two more times than Eliot Horn's team wanted to concede, with goals from Koo and Cross; Kira Koromin scored in the second half but could not trigger a Celtic resurgence. In the other match, Centralis Heart absolutely hammered Vaduz Portcullis. Even though Sanui Shizuka opened up for the home team, Centralis Heart just overpowered their tiny two-man defense with goals from Zito, Phoenix, McCormack, and Morgan-Brown. So, there were no surprises in the semifinals, or the semifinal results.

There were some surprises in the quarters, though, with Prescott Wolves, Nassau Bay Independence, and Westmore Bluffs not really expected to go that deep into the competition, but they took advantage of upsets and lucky draws throughout the cup before losing to Celtic Noviodunum, Centralis Heart, and Vaduz Portcullis respectively.

The final was exciting and topsy-turvy, with both sides putting forth their best efforts. Played at the Olympic Stadium in Nassau Bay, a neutral venue, Lexington Victory opened the floodgates with a goal from Cam Cross; Centralis Heart soon responded with an excellent counterattack set up by Tyler Fernando, who provided the assist for Cory Morgan-Brown to tie up the score. Cross scored another goal; Heart equalized again with an excellent solo strike from Santo Vito on the left wing. Finally, a one-two-three play from Fernando to Lewis Phoenix saw John McCormack send in an excellent cross to score the winning goal, giving Centralis Heart the cup.

Petrel Shield goes according to plan for Celtic Noviodunum
After losing in the semifinals of the Copa Terranea to Lexington Victory, Celtic Noviodunum got a chance to gain their revenge in the semifinals of the Petrel Shield, New Gelderland's domestic cup which determines entry into the Cygnus Cup, and they took it with gusto; this time, they held Lexington scoreless with a stronger defensive performance from Paranawe and Eliot Horn, while Kira Koromin scored a brace to send the team into the finals of the shield. The other semifinal was a closer affair; Olympic Nassau Bay, tired from their late UICA action, wasn't playing up to their full potential, and Lexington Conflagration, a rather unheralded team, took them to penalties before finally conceding. The final was a competitive affair as Olympic Nassau Bay's offense, led by Mark Allen, proved every bit as capable as Eliot Horn's defense, and both teams scored one each in two hours, bringing the match to penalties. Horn's penalty-saving skills, however, were enough to save the day for Celtic as they prevailed 3-2 on penalties.

Air Terranea Shield has strange final four
Both semifinals were unanticipated as favorites Centralis Heart lost in the quarterfinals to Fairleigh-Warburton, but the first one was especially unanticipated as Mebet Corporation took on Club 24, in a match of two Tier 2 teams that didn't have that much of an attendance (because, seriously, who wants to see a semifinal cup match between two lower tier teams?). The second semifinal, however, was a little bit more well attended, as it was between two somewhat popular clubs, FC Fairleigh-Warburton and Burnton 1963, the latter of which had a decent performance in the Globe Cup and should have been a little tired. They didn't show any signs of that, however, as they powered past the Fairleigh defense four times with a productive effort from Seyni Ait Ahmed, who scored twice and had two assists in their win. The final was much easier for Burnton, and Sakoto, the club's Racaoan goalkeeper, kept a clean sheet as the team scored two goals past the hapless Mebet Corporation, the winner of the first semifinal, who never really posed a significant threat to the top tier team.

Centralis Heart takes home Super Cup
In the end, only one goal was scored in this year's Super Cup, between the winners of the Gelderlish and Electrumite domestic cups as well as the winner of the Copa Terranea. That one goal was scored by Centralis Heart in their match against Burnton 1963, which allowed them to take home the Super Cup as the other two matches in the three-match round robin were scoreless - Celtic Noviodunum was unable to score against Centralis and Burnton, but no other goals were conceded.

[Terranean League]

COTEFA expands westwards
Teams from Rio Oscuro join the fray with four teams of their own -- Alianza Floriana, Ferroviario FC, Sol de Rushmore and Universitario de Armero, representing the major cities of Rio Oscuro. The addition of these new teams into Terranean League West means an added depth of competition and quality and exposure of new talent from Rio Oscuro. These teams tend to play a more free-flowing, offensive style of football compared to the more disciplined approach seen by the Electrumite and Gelder teams. These teams showcase the natural flair and the technical talent that the Electrumites and the Gelders need to emulate. It will be very interesting to see how this initial batch of four teams go: there are hopes that at least one of these teams will make it to the Globe Cup, but since this is their first season, literally anything can happen. The twenty-four team competition becomes one of the largest top-flights in the known multiverse.

Ventura Bay completes their meteoric rise
It's taken many seasons, but after starting at the bottom rung of the pyramid, Ventura Bay are the first third-tier team to make it all the way to the first tier of competition under the direction of manager Dawn Carruthers. After some fine talent selections during the previous few seasons, she's had to contend with the loss of major players such as Cenians Renning and Sontebren. This is not to say that this is the end for Ventura Bay, as their youth development pipeline is still going strong with names like Pete Westtcott and Grant Sandford generating a lot of buzz in the midfield. It's their first season in the top flight, and many Electrumites would like to see this underdog team perform well this season. Joining them in the top flight are veterans Condor Strike and Boudica Noviodunum, who have exhibited the typical revolving door problem that COTEFA has: constant promotions and relegations, not good enough for Terranean League West, but beating the rest in COTEFA League One. Fans will be looking for some semblance of stability, but with the introduction of the four Rio Oscuran teams, their job in trying to stay out of the bottom three just got that much harder.

Top teams hungry for more
Despite some of the frustration from the top teams because of the additional matchdays they must play because of the expansion (having to juggle a very long domestic season with UICA matches), they are as always, the favourites to grab the CC spots. Already, names like Centralis Heart and Celtic Noviodunum are mentioned as favourites to make the top four, but the question is which teams will make the balance? Lexington Victory have made a few chances up front with manager Scotty Marston trading away one of the Sakho brothers and going from three strikers to four, adding Apoxian Esmerelda Zanzala and poaching the young Cenian Avi Renning from the newly promoted Ventura Bay. On the Electrumite side, Somer City and Fairleigh-Warburton are in the mix. For Fairleigh-Warburton, they too have made similar changes to Lexington Victory, going from two to three strikers with the addition of Nioli Quren from Chromatika. All eyes are also on Arrowhead Point after they surprising made one of the Champion's Cup spots as well -- will they be able to seize the momentum and make it a second appearance at the Champion's Cup? With a new keeper and midfielder, they might just have the edge they needed to stay on track for another appearance.

Great start for Vaduz Portcullis and Arrowhead Point
Arrowhead Point has had an excellent run thusfar with only four losses to their name in the first half of the competition. The team has gone strength to strength after the team earned for the first time, a place in the Champion's Cup last season. Key to their uptick in performance over these two seasons is attributed to Clarke's additions to the backline like John Goulding from Eura, who have played a key role in stopping their opponents in their tracks. The new defence has more stamina and energy (because of their young age) than the Arrowhead Point of the past, allowing them to nip counterattacks on the bud. For Vaduz Portcullis, just like last season, they ended the first half of the season very strongly, coming in second (they were fourth by this point last year). The key for them this year is to maintain that momentum going forward - they suffered three losses away (including the record 12-goal game against the Prescottians) and their very last match in this half they also suffered another loss at home to Lexington Victory. Newly drafted manager Alfred Lineker, who used to manage the COTEFA League Two North team Kingsley United will be looking to address the concerns of the supporters of Vaduz after they dropped from 4th to 8th by the end of the season to miss out on the CC spot. They've finished in a dominant second place, but only time will tell if their notoriously physical game can hold to the very end of the season - it is true that the key Electrumite duo of Knight and Ramirez are ageing.

Celtic Noviodunum dominates, scoring 50 points in the first half of the season
Celtic Noviodunum, the team that everyone fears, is by far the favourite to win this season at this point, with a three match (seven points) advantage over their nearest rival, Vaduz Portcullis. Austen Willoughby leads a disciplined team and with star players like Eliot Horn and Bonesea's Tuw Turk as well as Ceni's Koromin and Irikor, they really have the depth of talent that sees them winning again and again. Their three losses in this half came from their away match in Arrowhead Point where both teams were evenly matched, and their two home matches against the rather below-average teams from Electrum's secondary cities, the Prescott Wolves and the Hamilton Sandstorm. In both cases, it was a penalty given to the Electrumite teams that allowed them to both win by a margin of 0-1 -- the Sandstorm especially are trying their utmost to delay their seemingly looming and imminent relegation, parking the bus and generally frustrating Celtic Noviodunum, drawing out an unfortunate handball from Kendall in their own penalty area to concede the goal. The Wolves, on the other hand, just got lucky -- they were on the counterattack but a dangerous tackle on Devlin by Celtic's Michelle Stone in their own penalty area again gave the Wolves that singular goal to win. Nonetheless, despite these hiccups they have genuinely performed very well: one has to wonder if their dominance over the Western Terranean League will ever end.

Concerns about Electrumite teams
With the success of the Gelder teams, there are some concerns within the Electrumite Football Association that there is a worrying imbalance between the two nations despite the fact that Electrum recently won a World Cup and New Gelderland haven't even participated in a World Cup in quite some time. Electrum has only eight teams in this top flight, compared to New Gelderland's twelve and Rio Oscuro's four. There are even talks by the boards of some teams, such as Club 24 and the Grenville Sailors (who were relegated last season) to split away from COTEFA and create an Electrum-only league. These increasing calls only intensified after the first half of the competition which saw the Centralis Heart as being the only Electrumite team in the top five and missing football teams in the top flight from the major cities of Port Grenville and Agri leading to decreased support for football in those cities. Centralis Heart, the best of the Electrumites, has had a poor start with a 12-2-9, wasting opportunities and having to lose Fernando and Lemona for international duty during much of the season. Delahunty is still under a lot of pressure to fix the team's wings who are vulnerable to being out of position and being a source of the teams woes. He has promised to work more with Killarney and Lewis to shore up those ball supply lines, but it's going to take a few weeks for the team to get used to the new back-three formation he's trialling.

Rio Oscuro teams comfortably in the middle
Rio Oscuro teams have successfully transitioned in the competition, with their positions between 14th and 20th -- which was expected of them in this debut season. They've had to get used to the new atmosphere and the more disciplined and professionalised approach of the Electrumite and Gelder whilst those teams have had to get used to the intense passion and support those teams have in Rio Oscuro. All eyes are on the flourishing Alianza Floriana and Universitario de Armero who came in 14th and 15th in this half -- there is a very real potential that they can be the inaugural Rio Oscuro representatives at a UICA competition, with only one or two points respectively separating them and tenth place for automatic UICA qualification. Sol de Rushmore is in the middle of the pack within the Rio Oscuro teams and Ferroviario FC are just a point from relegation. These teams have seemingly managed to do the impossible and made the transition towards professional football -- COTEFA have hailed this experiment a success and it seems that this change will now be made permanent and the arrangement will continue for future seasons.

Jostling for position: the quest for the important UICA slots
There is some serious competition for those six Globe Cup spots, awarded to those who come 5th to 10th by the end of the season: There is only two matches worth of points separating 6th place (36 points) and 16th place (30 points). With such a long season with many matches to go, it's very hard to predict who will advance to next season's Globe Cup -- it is literally a toss-up. Somer City and Fairleigh-Warburton are in the fight of their lives to push through to take one of those Champion's Cup slots, they've been there before and international competition at the highest level is some of the best experience you can get for your players, even if they lose. Royal Queenstown (with their solidly Cenian backline) and Burnton 1963 (featuring many of the mainstays in the Electrumite NT) are hoping to repeat their qualification of the Globe Cup, whilst new names such as the Rio Oscuran teams and the perennially overlooked Nassau Bay Independence in the mix as well. Pinkerton FC will be hoping to hang on too: after coming in fifth during the first half before fading away to eleventh last season, they will be looking to return to the UICA competition. Pinkerton will be channeling the former glory that they once had, being the Electrumite CC representative 9 and 10 seasons ago in the very ancient E-League.

Condor Strike defies expectations; others struggling to survive
Of the three promoted teams, Condor Strike are defying expectations. They came in second last season in League One which gave them their promotion with Gelder manager Marcel Krane (who is the Gelder cousin of Alex Krane, Electrum's former national team captain). Known for flitting back and forth between the two leagues, they have seemingly done the impossible by coming in fifth place by the halfway point, a massive achievement by any metric despite maintaining the same team -- it shows what a new pair of eyes can do to a team. Meanwhile, Ventura Bay, the surprise winners of League One who are in the top flight for the first time are struggling, coming in second last and marked for relegation. Carruthers hasn't been able to adjust the team since their talent was poached, but nonetheless the season is still recoverable given how bunched up the teams are. They have nearly double the points (21 compared to 12) of the last place team Boudica Noviodunum, the last of the trio of League One teams that was promoted. Boudica are almost certain to be relegated back down again - it's going to take an act of god if they are to recover. They just can't compete against the pros in the top tier.

*Automatically qualifies as a result of winning the 65th Globe Cup

Celtic Noviodunum have a near-perfect second half after losing once to Somer City
Only one loss in twenty-three matches, Celtic Noviodunum have proved just how dominant they've been over the entirety of Terranean League West, suffering one loss away against fellow Champion's Cup qualifier Somer City, the margin being 2-0. It is a testament to Willoughby's management that Celtic have stayed on top for so long. Being dangerous on the counterattack with their brand of speed and athleticism has made the team the one to be feared both domestically and internationally. For Somer City and Surrounds, their trio of full-backs in McGann, Farthen and Hudson successfully contained the Celtic offense, Celtic weren't able to run the ball on the right hand side of the pitch with ease like they normally do (to set up for a cross) with no space being afforded to by Somer City. It is one of Somer's best victories with Mercedini's Ross Presic and the Gelder Ben Griffen scoring the goals for Somer. In the end, Somer City ended in fourth place.

Lexington Victory recover their season to finish in second place, The Heart in third
Of course with their Champions Cup spot assured by virtue of their performance in the Globe Cup, Lexington Victory didn't need to be in the top four to gain entrance to the competition, but they did it anyways after having such a below-average start to the season (coming in thirteenth at the halfway point). This is due to the fact that nearing the end of the season, once their international commitments to the Globe Cup and the Super Cup were over, their players were well rested to play domestic football again, recovering to take second place on the ladder. The team is well known for its attacking prowess, scoring the most goals of the competition and having the second highest goal difference behind Celtic. This is attributed to their highly offensive play style having four (!) strikers, including Drawkland's Cam Cross, Apox's Esmerelda Zanzala who transferred from Gwinevra Barbarians and Quebecois Cedric Koo. Their poaching of Avi Renning from Ventura Bay has also paid dividends -- he's got that match intelligence to consistently feed the ball to the strikers, contributing to Lex Victory's success domestically and internationally. Centralis Heart meanwhile also manage to hold their wafer-thin hold on a CC spot to finish in third place. They've had a fairly disappointing international season but manager Carmichael Delahunty is confident that his team can make a comeback next season and make an attack on first place. He's got two of the best assets in the entire league in Tyler Fernando, the Electrumite NT captain and Schottia's McCormack who is consistently one of the best forwards of the Western Terranean League who have always been there keeping the team afloat. The goal of the season definitely went to McCormack for a bicycle kick goal in the 87th minute against Celtic Noviodunum to salvage a 1-all draw.

Three Globe Cup disappointments for three Gelder teams
For the three Gelder teams entering the Globe Cup for this season, there's been massive disappointment. Where to start? Vaduz Portcullis' fade that happened last season happened again, their four losses tripled in this second half to thirteen, dropping them down to 6th place. Their highly physical and possession-heavy play style is certainly a large drawback for this ageing team, but its the style of football they play. Manager Lineker will need to formulate a plan next season to combat this atrophy that seems to occur every season. Why were Royal Queenstown disappointed? They were fifth for the second consecutive time, missing out on the CC spot that they deserve for their consistent performance over these past two seasons. This time, they miss by two goals in goal difference. They had a lot of chances to win matches, but because of their notoriously slow finishes that they have, it became a 23-9-14 record. They just had to many draws that went begging especially with last-minute losses against Oscuran teams like Alianza Floriana and Universitario de Armero. For Arrowhead Point, they weren't able to replicate that dream CC performance that saw them qualify into it last season, and will have to contend with a Globe Cup spot.

Pinkerton FC returns to top-tier UICA competition
After many seasons of being in the wilderness, and nostalgia for their participation in the Champion's Cup and the Globe Cup, Pinkerton FC finally qualifies for Tier 1 UICA competition since eight seasons ago when they topped the Electrumite ladders. Their wealth of experience gained from the acquisition of Port Christopher's Ross Jameson (who was associated with the revival of New Dundee Star) has allowed Pinkerton to gain that extra level and finally make a push for a UICA spot. The ageing but still youthful at heart Jameson has revived yet another team and now Pinkerton's fans are excited to see what the team, led by Edgar Neubauer, have to offer for next season in the international competition. They have very clearly deserved that spot after narrowly missing out last season by just one place, and things are looking bright over at Pinkerton Park. For the other Electrumite teams qualifying into the Globe Cup, FC Fairleigh-Warburton were the closest to a CC spot -- being agonisingly close and needing one more victory rather than a draw to qualify. One good news from this season is that their frankly anaemic goal difference has improved from last season, and that's probably due to the addition of striker Nioli Quren from Chromatika who has supplemented the work from Luke Virgo and Nicholas Henry. Burnton 1963 were comfortably in the Globe Cup position for much of the season, and didn't seem to be threatened at all.

Rio Oscuran experiment proves a success; potential for more teams to come on board in lower tiers next season
The Rio Oscuran Football Association have hailed the integration of Oscuran teams into Terranean League West a huge success, with greater promotion of Oscuran football in Terranea leading to some much needed revenue and funding streams for the Oscuran FA. With the unearthing of great talent such as Sol de Rushmore's Miguelángel Arriola (striker) and Valentín Rodríguez (left midfield), teams from as far as Ceni as well as within Electrum and New Gelderland are interesting in swapping some of their talent for Oscuran ones. There are some rumours floating about that an expansion of COTEFA League One is also on the cards to balance out the top-heavy structure of TLW with twenty-four teams in the first tier and sixteen teams in the second. Unfortunately for Rio Oscuro, their top representative, Sol de Rushmore, failed to qualify for a GC spot, being six points away from Pinkerton FC there was just no way they could make the deficit in the last few matches of the season when they realised how close they were in qualifying. The other Oscuran teams pulled respectable performances, coming near the bottom of the ladder but not being relegated down, understandable given this was their first ever time playing in this league.

How did the other teams go?
Condor Strike dropped like a lead balloon from 5th to 13th. Their slightly positive win record in their inaugural season in the top tier changed to a rather neutral 17-12-17. They're just not used to having such a long season and making the adjustment towards having twenty-three other competitors compared to the fifteen they had last season. The teams based in Nassau Bay, Nassau Bay Independence and Olympic Nassau Bay had mainly frustrating seasons from their fans perspectives -- NBI had Fluviquean NT talent, but they haven't been seen in the last World Cup. ONB failed to back their previous Globe Cup performance, finishing in sixteenth. Their one bright spot is that they had the best goal difference record of pretty much the entire bottom third of the competition with -1, and that's mainly due to the work of Schottian Anna Kurovski who has saved some very important goals and helped the team salvage some draws which could have easily been losses. Ventura Bay steered out of the relegation zone to finish eighteenth -- not the best of starts for this first-time team, but it could have easily been worse. Hamilton Sandstorm have continued their disappointing run in the top tier, they've been unable to lift their performance and haven't challenged in a long time. For Eclipse New Gelderland and Union Queenstown, they've barely managed to hang on to their places in the top-tier, and have been mainly overshadowed by their cross-town rivals in Lexington Victory and Royal Queenstown. Laura Oannes, the Cenian goalkeeper for Eclipse New Gelderland who won the Golden Gloves for best goalkeeper last season must surely be contemplating a move due to her team's seemingly impending collapse.

In the relegation zone are...
Boudicca, who are still comfortably in last place and was unable to transition successfully in the big leagues, Lexington Conflagration, the mainly amateur team who has struggled to professionalise and the Prescott Wolves, who are disappointing many in Electrum's second largest city. Luckily for Prescottians, Club 24 has been promoted upwards, so they will still have a Prescottian team to cheer. It would be very embarrassing if Electrum's second largest city wasn't represented at all in Electrum's top tier, though it's looking more like a game of musical chairs with Club 24 and the Prescott Wolves constantly going up and down the top two tiers of competition.

Three Electrumite teams win qualification into the big leagues
Fans from Electrumite's major cities were mighty peeved to see that their teams were relegated down in the past few seasons, however this season has seen a resurgence from teams from Prescott, Port Grenville and Kale Island smashing the competition and returning to the top flight. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table in League One, newly promoted teams the Auras Golddiggers Association and Hesperidium Gardens return to their respective League Two North and South competitions next year, as well as Westmore Bluffs and Groenfields. Those four will be replaced by two teams each from each of the tier three competitions with Hyacinth Vaduz rebounding after a horror three or four seasons they've had, being relegated from both TLW and League One in quick succession. Perhaps the time for Hyacinth's comeback to the top-tier may be just around the corner...

A fruitful haul for Terranean Teams
COTEFA clubs have taken home four trophies this season, 1860 Azoth from TLE has won the Champions' Cup, whilst on the Western side, Lexington Victory won both the Globe Cup and the Super Cup, and Centralis Heart won the Rushmori regional championship, the Copa de Campeones. Lexington Victory had a dream run this season: they affirmed their place with a second place finish in the domestic competition and won the Globe Cup. How they got there was a long and arduous road: After securing direct qualification to the Champions' Cup Group Stage, they came in third place in their group and got transferred over to the Globe Cup. There, they defeated Bassabook Old Boys, Sabrefell Athletic, Paraguay SC, overcame Marinos Metropolis in a 12-goal tie (who had wild support given the fact that the Globe Cup final was due to be held in Valladares) and finally faced Dí Maozöxê at the Stade de Foix–Jules Picot in Bezieres. LexVic played in quite the unfriendly crowd as the neutrals were all supporting Dí Maozöxê after LexVic eliminated the Marinos and prevented them from playing the final at home. LexVic started out strong in the final match, scoring the first two goals in the first half. Cross would score a brace: The first goal was a direct header after a corner kick from Koo, whereas the second goal came from a penalty where it was controversially ruled that Rübéãn Tôr's hand was in an unnatural position when he handled the ball inside Farfadillis' penalty area. By the first ten minutes of the second half however, Dí Maozöxê would claw back and equalise, catching Lexington Victory off guard with their relentless pursuit and offence. After a while in the second half, both sides would settle but Lexington Victory wouldn't have any more successful chances at Dí Maozöxê's goal. Many minutes of goalless football came and went, and it was decided that it would take a penalty shootout to separate the two teams. Bastion-Riers successfully predicted where Êxís and Fôx would score the goal, allowing Lexington Victory to take the shoot-out 3-2 and hence the trophy. This allowed them a spot into the Super Cup where they won both of their matches against Schottia's New Belfast Blues who won the SBCC and the aforementioned Cenians, 1860 Azoth who won the CC to secure the Super Cup as well. Other teams that made it to the knockout rounds are Celtic Noviodunum, who succumbed to Flanders FC in the octofinals of the CC, and Centralis Heart who were knocked out 4-1 by KT Moreazerua in the eighth-final of the Globe Cup.

Later on in the season, the Heart would also surprisingly defeat Spartangrad, Admiral Storevik and Royal Jam FC to make it to the regional final against the very experienced CA Paulinthal from Pasarga. The Heart would win 2-1 at the Estadio Zachary Fortin in Valladares. Heart would take the lead with reliable striker John McCormack finding the net after receiving a cross from fellow Schottian Cerys Kennicot at the 22nd minute. They would build on that lead towards the middle of the second half with Tyler Fernando finding the gap in CAP's defences by himself and getting the ball past Sebastian Naumann in a one-on-one encounter. A last gasp goal from CAP in the dying stages of the game prevented the Heart from obtaining a clean sheet with striker Targaryen, one of Pasarga's best, slotting it into the top right corner outside of the reaches of Frances Lemona, who simply applauded the goal. The Heart would win 2-1, winning their first ever international trophy.

Upsets galore
Understandably, with international and domestic competitions to think about, these cup competitions currently take the lowest precedence for successful teams like Celtic Noviodunum and Centralis Heart. These teams were both knocked out by small upsets: Celtic Noviodunum lost by a single goal to Burnton 1963 in the quarterfinals of the CT, and lost in the very first round against Condor Strike in the Gelder competition. Centralis Heart had a similar record, being beaten in the second round by Mebet Corporation on penalties in the CT and Ventura Bay by 4 goals to 2 in the domestic Electrumite competition. Surprisingly, Hamilton Sandstorm performed the best of all of the teams in these Cup competitions, winning the Copa Terranea and coming to the finals of the Electrumite competition, where they lost to the resurgent Pinkerton FC, who have won their very first domestic competition (championship or cup) in eight seasons. The Gelder competition was won by Olympic Nassau Bay whilst Alianza Floriana won the rather small Oscuran cup competition. It seems that the teams that did the best in these Cup competitions were mostly in the middle range of the top tier, being good enough to defeat smaller teams, but not having the obligations that other teams had, allowing for fresher pairs of legs, and the drive to win (since it was the only thing they could conceivably win at this time). In the Super Cup between all four cup champions, Pinkerton FC came on top to make it a duo of domestic competitions they won this season. It's a good time to be a Pinkerton FC fan for sure.
