Welcome to League 1 for the first time, FC Pirate. Terriers, we welcome you back to the league. Dallas #2, Congrats on avoiding relegation.

So I am one season removed from my first, and my teams first ever u21 cup and regular cup wins. Although Pittsburgh Riverhounds seemed to have my number all season, I did manage to snag 2 of the 5 trophies on the season away from him (Super Cup is still TBD).

This was my first season in the top league, and although I was gifted an amazing team, I did actually earn a spot in League 1 (Dallas #2, my old team is about to start their 2nd season at the top).

We have some pretty amazing players and teams in this league and I am proud to be a part of it.

I just started upgrading to Training Facility 9, which should be done right before season 12 ends. I hope to be a tougher team to deal with this year as I have made some fairly important changes to my team in the last 2 months.

Hoping to see more of you posting in here as its fun to get status reports of all of our teams. We are awesome, and we need to defend our Champions League Title, and we need a new Boss to step up and win the NA league since Shadows of Amn will not be participating this time around.

Welcome to the newbies, and as always, I am looking forward to some amazingly close games with the top teams.

I am glad to have avoided the playoff last season, and now am looking forward to having two rivals in League 1: FC Appleton 13 and Terriers FC! Congrats to Pirate and good luck to everyone in the upcoming season and the champions and NA leagues! I hope to join you in those tournaments next season.

Although the last season wasn't my best season, I think I've finally figured out why my team has struggled. I won't be able to fix it in time for this season, but I think I can be more competitive again in 2 seasons (and I still have a relatively young team that will be in its prime in 2 seasons).

I've also made a minor upgrade at midfield.

Good luck to everyone this season. Hopefully the national team will pull through as well.

Well my first team is largely unchanged but my U21 team will see 5 new faces this season.

And we are under way! Seattle Cataclysm picked up a 2-1 win over Amityville last night and early this morning, FC Appleton 13 knocked off League 1 newcomers, FC Pirate, 1-0. That game could have gone either way as the GK for FC Appleton 13 was superb, but FC Appleton 13 also had a penalty that they failed to convert. Anyways, good luck to everyone today and welcome to league 1, Pirate, and welcome back, Terriers!

Wow, it hurts losing to my old team in the first game of the season. Well done.

And Shadows of Amn take down Pittsburgh 1-0 and Cappuccino Mark 4 draw SFVP.....what a day!

The shock is too much for you. :))

Well, look like a lucky match for my team, 0-0 with SFVP with my second formation. To be honest, I've just looked for some extra exp.

Nice game, Tak! We can't find a way to score into your Baldur's Gate. First round is surely a interesting start, more managers know how to upset a stronger team now. Looks like the whole season would be much competitive compared to last season...

Crazy first day. At least I wasn't the only one who got upset.

A really surprising day so far. I probably won't be able to take advantage of the handicap for long though. Even so, I'm happy to take the win against the new version of the Talent Kids FC. My new player has even managed to take first in assists so far (though he won't hold onto it since he isn't really supposed to be an AM).

Congratulations also to the national team for winning a division that seemed to have been a challenge at first, though it is still possible to miss the World Cup if the United States ends up as the 7th best 1st place team or if the United States loses in the obligatory playoff round. I still think it is unfair how few tickets that North America gets to the World Cup (notwithstanding that this might reflect the actual rules). Holger Nguyen and Kenneth Farrington continue to lead the team in statistics.

A few upsets are already possibly in the World Cup qualifications: Martinique could beat Mexico, Puerto Rico could beat Cuba, and Bermuda (lead by my keeper) will beat Canada with a win or a tie in the next match.

I was a little worried at first but we trucked through. I think we already secured a spot in the top 6 because Jamaica has no more qualifying games left. I believe we can't finish below them now unless we lose like 8 to 0.

Hugo Nguyen is our top scorer, not holger. Holger is now officially off the nt due to age. I think Farrington will be off soon as well.

One more big win and we should be in the world cup.

Good luck to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the Club World Cup. At a glance, it looks like they have a fair chance to make the finals, though AC Subotica looks like the favorite to win it all.

Thanks, valentine. You are one of the few managers I knew master with tactic and line-up. Good luck in Club World Cup!
