Heck yeah....it's trash talking time in World 59. Not sure how I am playing a #7 seed though..I was hoping for the #15 seed...lol...I'm on a 31 match win streak

So, what you're saying is the last time your team lost a game was when you lost to Hespeler Impact in the Group Stage of this tournament? :)

Talking about Hespeler, they take the opening game of the FC Dynasty Cup IV Quarterfinals with a 2-0 road victory over Fort Worth Longhorns.

Rushmore I sent you two game requests and one has already passed. Accept the most recent when you get a minute.

If you could please keep at least one challenge active, I'm sure he'll accept well before the deadline.

Hesleper Impact becomes the first Semifinalist, beating Fort Worth Longhorns 4-2 on aggregate and sending the #14 seed home just in time to enjoy the rest of spring break.

Also, Aiken Mulrooney for the Impact scored his 10th goal, tying him for the tournament lead with NDFC's Brodrick Buchanan.

Done!

Well, that was easy.

All eight Quarterfinals games have now been scheduled. There is a single contest on the 18th, three on the 19th and one on the 20th.

the crutchanators of soccer continue to mock the seeding process, as #16 advances to the Semifinals with a 5-1 aggregate over #9 North Polar Dragons FC.

Metropolitan Screaming Eagles also punch their ticket into the Semis with a road win against black mambas to overcome the one goal deficit from the first game and take the series.

It all comes down to World 59 foes Capital Punishment and Rushmore FC to set the next round of the knockouts.

OK, the first three were a lot of fun but I think it's safe to say that this has been the most competitive FC Dynasty Cup to date.

#2 Capital Punishment and #7 Rushmore FC are in an absolute tie with a 4-4 aggregate and three away goals each...and Punishment had to score a short-handed goal with a few minutes left to force the tiebreaker. As the higher seed, Punishment can send a challenge to Rushmore for a tiebreaker game. The time frame runs through the 23rd, so there's plenty of time for it to be scheduled.

Any questions, let me know. What a tournament!

It has to be played by the 23rd or scheduled by the 23rd. Rushmore and my world just rolled yesterday and I lost one of my best players (didn't know about the age thing until a few weeks ago). I will miss this stud ....78 72 37 55 55 78 59 33 100 100 100 83 94 100 78 100 88 100 73 100 100 25

I think that had something to do with our 3-1 loss...That was the first game we played after rolling and me losing that player Amerigo Motta

Scheduled by the 23rd.

I know most of us will roll over to a new season sometime during the tournament because it lasts 5-6 weeks (for the teams that make deep runs.) You are perfectly within the rules to schedule the game in slot 4-6 (or whatever) to give yourself a little time to sign a new player. I think it was Rushmore who lost his top two scorers right after the group stage ended in FCD II. We all understand. As long as the game is on the calendar by 7pm on the 23rd, it will count, regardless of what day it is actually played.

So, while putting the game in slot 9 or 10 wouldn't be ideal, there's no pressure in scheduling the game ASAP.

Losing a player like that really sucks. I've had a few coaches tell me that they've had to rethink how they do contracts in order to keep core players from retiring/leaving via free agency (in the middle of the tournament.)

He only scored twice...so I'm guessing he was your central midfielder and main assist guy with that 100 passing rating.

Left midfielder...he was a stud with his left foot

I always play a 4-4-2

Yeah, so do I. I assumed he was either a LCM or RCM but you had him out on the wing. He was probably one of your set piece specialists as well.
