All good things come to an end but we are not done yet we have two major weekends to go and we will make sure everybody will enjoy it !
Last Sunday we had a full program three games in the heat of Shanghai :
Dulwich – Vlis 9-0 When you are struggling in the bottom of the table than the end of the season is something you want to come as soon as possible and its not easy to motivate your players to come if the final result is not positive. For Dulwich it was the last game of their mixed season but they wanted to end it on a high so that’s why the score-line was like it ended.
Japan – Galacticos 1-1 Even game Japan failing to finish which is one of their struggles this season as they scored as many as they conceded 28 goals. However they took the lead and tried to hold but Ned Kelly had other ideas he scored in the very last minute the equalizers which might proof to be costly for Japan as it reduces their chances to end second in the SPL. Hawks – Lions 1-1 Heated game in the heat a few debated off-side decisions both ends added to the heat. Lions more hungry to win as the Hawks were already crowned champions but they had to settle for a draw.
This coming Sunday the final SPL ranking will be clear, however a few teams have settled already no matter what will happen on Sunday, VLis no 8, Glacticos no 7, Dulwich no 6 and E-Rouge no 5 and finally Hawks no 1. Japan (23 points) Bulls (23 points) and the Lions (24 points) will fight for the second spot.
10 AM E-Rouge-Japan The French can play free and easy and Japan needs to attack and hope the Lions or the Bulls will slip !
12 PM Hawks – Bulls Guaranteed a lot of goals the key here is that both Bulls players Nico (12 goals) and Aydin (9 goald) are going for the SPL top scorer award. Lets see whether they pass the ball to each other…..!!
14 PM Vlis – Lions The Lions still need to win to be sure of the runner up spot this season !
