Warg92 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Pre Season 2030/2031 Funny that the teams that is the hardest to beat are our own U19s! The Squad Starting XI GK RB - CB - CB - LB RM - CM - CM - LM ST - ST LCM and one of the ST position might change this season. Even one of the CB positions, if Simone Misso (JR13b) starts to grow fast! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Geez, this year's edition of Malta madness is progressing at a crazy rate, superb work in Europe! What kind of tactics are you using, I see you're setting up in a 4-4-2 but this seems wildly effective. I'm gonna guess it's a classic attacking setup with 2 out-and-out wingers?

noikeee Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Um, wow. In a way it matches what I expected (how attacking it is), in another really it really really doesn't (how it uses inverted wingers and underlaps instead of wingers). Interesting!

Warg92 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Ta' Xbiex in Europe 2030/2031 This is the year we're going in to Champions League group stages, I can feel it! Started off easy, with a draw against FK Zeta Golubovci from Montenegro. And after two games we dominated (we should seriously have won the second game with 5 goals!) we were through to next round. Next up, Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar from Iceland. We had no problems in the first game, and won 4-0. We lost the second one, but I was not nervous in that game. Even though they could have gone 2-0 up after only 12 minutes. Next up, Qarabağ FK Ağdam from Azerbaijan. The first game was a pretty close one. But we smashed them in the second game, and won 7-1 on aggregate. The last team we were facing for a place in CL group stages this year was Celtic. And we did it! For the first time we are in the Champions League group stages! We were leading 4-1 in the first game until the 86th minute, and then we conceded two quick goals. I was a bit angry, but felt like we could do it. The second game we maybe should have finished earlier, but at least we did it in the end! A very hard group! The only hope for a point is against Beşiktaş A.Ş. But, you never know, we might cause an upset!

Warg92 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Mid Season 2030/2031 Every second year it seems like Hibernians wants to fight us all the way! We usually do better after the half way point though, as we usually do not play European football. Champions League Well... It's not THAT bad is it? We actually got a point! It may look like some of the games were tight, but no, we should have lost them with a bigger margin! At least we broke some records. Not all good though! National Team But, the national team did well! A draw against Faroe Islands is not that good, but we still won the group. And here are the groups for the European Championship Qualifying.

Warg92 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 End of the 2030/2031 Season Another one. We lost one game this season. It came a bit out of the blue to be honest, and I used our best eleven. But, we did only concede 5 goals in the second half of the season, so I'm happy with that. And we add another FA Trophy to our growing collection of trophies. Matteo Porcelli will be an amazing player for us. I am 100% certain... 2030/2031 Best XI Overall Best XI I feel this shows their potential more than a the players that get called up to the U19 Malta national team!

Warg92 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Ta' Xbiex in Europe 2031/2032 Could we go in to Champions Leauge group stages two years in a row?! First up, Crusaders from Northern Ireland! Easy. Next! HJK from Finland! No problems whatsoever in these games. Next up, Legia Warzawa, from Poland! After a very close first game with big chances both ways, we managed to win the second one 1-0. And finally, for place in group stages we got Celtic. It's the third time we are facing them in these qualification stages! Maaan, that was way to close! But we did, for the second time in a row we're in the CL Group stages! I think this group is "easier" than last year. Still very hard though, as every group is. The main goals is to get more points than last year. The last team is Anderlecht. Other teams from Malta in Europe. Hibernians Floriana Birkirkara If the teams from Malta does not get better the next few years, I might add another manager to one the bottom teams and do the same thing as I did with Ta' Xbiex.

Champions League As the earlier post showed, we really started the group stage bad with a 4-9 loss against Monaco. But we got our revenge, and beat them 1-0 in the home game. Not only that, we beat Lazio in our home game as well! That means we're through to the Europa League knock out stages! Some big clubs in the first round! National Team I am very happy with this! I knew we would have trouble against Wales and Switzerland. I also thought Iceland should beat us, but it turns out the quality of the Icelandic national team really has declined. So, after all these games I was prepared to resign, and just focus on Ta' Xbiex. I just wanted to wait another week, and then I got this message.

Warg92 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 European Championship Qualifying Playoff Semi Final (That's way too long...) We faced Cyprus away in the Semi Final, a team that we beat 4-0, and lost 2-0 againt in the Group Stages. And we won the game! It was very close, but Johann Formosa saved almost everything! For the most important game in Maltese football history, we could face on of these teams: Ukraine, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Romania, Czech Republic, Belarus, Serbia and Northern Ireland. The team I wanted was Belarus, as they were the only team that had a worse world ranking than Malta. Now, who did we get?! Northern Ireland, here we come! Going in to this game, N. Ireland was 77th on the world rank, and Malta was 88th! The starting XI. Almost, the best possible XI Malta can start with. Glenn Vella, usually starts up top with Nicholas Bartolo, but got an injury the week before... Result in Spoiler Spoiler I tried to upload the highlights to YT, but my computer does not want to... F*** me, we did it! We're actually going to the European Championship! Northern Irelands absolute best striker got an injury after only 8 minutes, and that may have helped us a bit. They did not really have a chance, and their first goals was a crap pass from Etienne Micallef that was meant for our GK, but got snapped up.
