September 2087



A better month overall, and one where we finally started our Copa Sudamericana campaign. We've done the hard part, now it's just the lesser South American competition to grab. A strong start with a 3-0 win against Millionarios. In the league we could have closed the gap at the top, but too many draws probably means we'll struggle to add it to our trophy haul.



Still 10 games to go, but 7 points is a big gap to claw back.

Season End 2087



If the league campaign wasn't over before, it certainly is now. A terrible month overall as we dropped 7 from a possible 12 points. We then conspired to almost throw away the Sudamericana tie by conceding 5. Luckily we got two crucial away goals, and headed through. Maybe winning this won't be as easy as expected.



A strong end to the season in the league, but suspect it won't be enough after early failures. What we didn't fail in was the Sudamericana. After our early scare against Millionarios, we didn't lose any more games, only fading a little when we drew 2-2 in the first leg of the final. We closed it out at home in the second leg, winning 3-1, and getting the second of the two trophies I needed.



Not really good enough at all, but it wasn't my main aim. I would have liked to have won it - of course I would - but I would always trade it for the two trophies we did win.

There was only one thing left to do before I rode off into the sunset though. The FIFA Club World Cup.

A big chance here, as I'll be at a club with very little history. They've never won the Champions League, and only one regular season victory and two finals series victories in their close to 100 year history. A big chance to create some history.



It's clear where the problems lie though, as we've got a majorly thin squad we'll need to add to. Once again though, we're in a league with salary caps and marquee players. Could be difficult. Jon Rico is the clear stand-out, and we'll be looking to him to keep us afloat.



We finished just outside the play-off spots last year, but a long way off the top spot. If I could make it into the play-offs next season, I'll be happy.

Right, after the madness of the MLS, things take another turn for the strange in Autralia.

Basically, it's very similar, but with a few less rules. The big one, however, is that you're extremely limited in terms of foreigners. That's not bad on its own, but another rule makes it very difficult. You cannot sign any players from other Australian clubs. Like, at all. The only time you can get your hands on a highly rated player from a rival is if they let their contract run down and leave on a free transfer. So you're left with a dilemma - Australia aren't exactly the best nation in the World, but there's a few players that are good enough to leave the shores and ply their trade elsewhere. But the sort of players we're in the market for are the ones that play in the A-League, the ones that aren't available to us. We'll be searching the World for Australian players that we can sign, but a lot will be out of our reach financially.

Still, there's some...enter Brendan Romein...



I returned to the MLS to bring Brendan home for a lot of money. He should be worth it though. Not only does he have the ability that not many in the squad have, he also plays in a problem position of ours.





Meh. Could be good with some time. Time that I won't be spending.

Yo dawg, I heard you like pre-season, so I got you a lot of pre-season.

It's a long old Summer in Australia, or Winter/Spring I guess for them. We played a hell of a lot of friendlies, and also a smattering of cup games. Unfortunately, just two of them, as we were put out on penalties against Melbourne City.

Once again I used the off-season to trawl the world for players who could fit in to the dreadful A-League registration rules. Basically, any Aussies who could kick a ball could apply.

Ivan Stanton gives us a bit of depth in the center of the park, but Mitchell Wheelhouse is undoubtedly our main signing. Somehow managed to argue him down to a pretty basic contract too, which is ridiculous given his ability at this level. Frederick Boakye, again is there to boost the numbers in the middle, with Dimitris Vamvakousis slotting straight in on the right as first choice given the paucity of options there.

Having said that, the 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid was wonderful for us - we actually matched up to them until the first goal went in, so proud of the team. We ended up finishing fourth to North American champions Pachuca, but it was a good performance. Other than that, three wins out of three in the league, and that early season wobble is long forgotten as we move into 2090.

Finally, the Champions League groups have been drawn, and it's a tough one. Guangzhou are a giant in Asian football, so they'll be our main rivals. Should definitely be able to reach the next round though.



I really should have more ethics than to sign a contract that I have no intention of seeing out. Meh. I'm over it.

We've improved slightly in the league, staying unbeaten, but three draws is not good enough. We need to be translating those into wins. Still, in the competition that really matters, we got two wins, including a very, very important one at home to Guangzhou. Two more wins against the two weaker sides and we should be home and hosed.



With six games to go, there's little chance of us catching Adelaide United at the top in my view. Two more wins would secure our play-off spot, but I'll be aiming for at least a top three spot to try and secure a semi-final spot.

We looked the stronger, fitter side in the extra half an hour though, and ended up winning 4-2.



We could have done without it while the playoffs were on, but we battled through another Champions League tie to make it 5 out of 5. That means that we're guaranteed to top the group, now six points ahead of Guangzhou. They'll finish 2nd, but they've been disappointing.

Apologies for no coverage of the first leg, but as you can see, we're through to the semi-final after an absolute barnstormer of a second leg. Scores were locked at 1-1 after the first leg, and we went to Adelaide knowing we'd need to score to go through.

And score we did. A crazy sixty seconds of football saw the entire tie level up at 2-2, but before half time we added a second and third goal to go in 4-2 ahead on aggregate. An own goal from Ross Clark midway through the second half gave us a commanding 5-2 lead, leaving our opponents needing four to go through. They did get one back pretty quickly, but that was all she wrote. Into the semi final we go.

You knew it was coming, and here it is. I've won everything I possibly can here, and I don't see any reason to hang around for the World Club Championship, as I doubt we'll have enough in the tank to win it. It looks as though I'll be waiting for a European side to take that.

If you're keeping score, the list of competitions now looks like so. The ones in red have been won, leaving the others. I think my next aim will be to complete Asia by winning the International Asian Nations Cup, and then the minor AFC Cup. Then it's going to be an International slog as I try and grab the titles in North and South America, as well as hoping for the New Zealand job to come up. Then it's on to Europe to close it all out.
