Sports City Tie Breaker Rule

Great work last night gentlemen! You all helped smother/block many shots to make my job a lot easier. Thank you! However, we still got our player assignments mixed up a few times, but it worked out ok.

Before we worry about tie breaker rules against National FC, we need to first concentrate on (#1) winning games and (#2) having few goals scored against us. For an explanation of why see below. Thanks again for your hard work yesterday.


9A.3 Tie-breaker Rules (These tie-breaker rules are not used to determine the winner of a tournament semi-final or championship game.)
In the event two or more teams have accumulated the same number of points in a tournament or league, the tie will be broken according to the following provisions, and in this order:

A.) Head to head competition-The result of the game(s) between the teams tied. (In the event of a tie between three or more teams, this tie-breaker will be skipped and the next tie-breaker(s) considered sequentially. Once one team is determined to have the best record of the teams tied, then that team will advance. The remaining teams will then begin the tie-breaker process anew starting with A. and proceed until one of the teams is found to have the better record. Then, that team, along with the first team to advance, will begin the tie-breaker process again starting with A.)

B.) Fewest points allowed in all games.

C.) Most shutouts recorded in all games.

D.) Total points scored in all games (however, a maximum of 3 points will be awarded per game).

E.) Coin toss or such other tie-breaker as both coaches and Sports City agree to.

Mourinho is a #%$&@$%^

A draw against a higher seeded team, on the road yet, and Mourinho has the nerve to criticize Arsenal for being happy with the result. He is such an idiot!

Tonight's Indoor Match

Well, I think we learn more from games like this than those in which we dominate without much effort. I want to apologize for being responsible for three goals. I was the dictionary illustration of not following my man.
A few comments heard afterwards:

-- we didn't follow the runners
-- we need to play man to man vs zone defense
-- when we marked them, they didn't have anything
-- we need to keep our heads up and slow down in attack
-- we rushed when we fell behind

All worth thinking about. However, keep in mind that we were in the game all the way to the end and it could have easily gone the other way. We frustrated them as well. Good for us.
Nick, I thought you had a great game winning tackles all over the place. All our goals were the result of that kind of hustle. So, it's not all negative. Let's have a blast next week.
Anyone for kicking around outside one weekend day?
