RHINE MEDIA Presents: RPL Weekly Issue #2

ROUND HEADLINES

Round 2 of RPL action has finished. This round was quite interesting and there were a few upsets. Our predictions were not really supported by these results, millions of money from the bookies were lost and many middle aged men spent their night screaming at the T.V in the pub. Without further ado, here is the second edition of the RPL Weekly magazine...

Don’t forget to check out Barlomia’s factbooks on the respective leagues for a more detailed ladder and complete season fixtures.

Division 1 Standings

1) Liamopolis Imperials
2) Atletico Luez
3) Barlomia United
4) North Frasian Gunmen
5) Patek Phillippean Fire
6) Rigian Knights
7) Ravkanian Hellbenders
8) Sammona Bulldogs

RPL DIVISION 1 RESULTS

MATCH 1: Rigian Knights drew with Patek Phillippean Fire | 0 - 0
Another draw for both of these teams. Both played a very good defensive game and there was not much each team could do better. Unfortunately for the Fire, they are yet to score in the second installment of the RPL. Our prediction of a 0 - 2 victory to the Fire was incorrect. That being said, this was probably one of the most interesting draws in the history of the competition. And if you take in the background between these two (last time they met, the Fire got in a bit of hot water over a long night) then you have an almost complete package. Let us hope that these teams can pull out all the stops in their next games and bring home a win.

MATCH 2: Sammona Bulldogs were defeated by Barlomia United | 0 - 3
Not much else can be expected here. Barlomia United are just way more experienced and dominant as soon as they get on top. Sammona just didn’t create enough pressure out there and Barlomia capitalised on it. In fact, Sammona only managed 5 shots at goal in the whole match, perhaps they tried too hard to create opportunities because they managed to take home an excessive amount of yellow cards and a red card. Things are looking bright again for a new and improved Barlomia this season.

MATCH 3: Ravkanian Hellbenders were defeated by North Frasian Gunmen | 1 - 2
At the end of the first half, you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking nothing has changed for the Gunmen this season (being one down), but as soon as they came out of the changerooms something was different. They brutally attacked the Hellbenders’ goals and managed two goals in quick succession. And once they were on top, they didn’t let the foot come off the throat. The Hellbenders have tasted defeat twice already this season and something needs to change if they are to make finals, but there is still plenty of time before finals. As for the Gunmen, they have enjoyed a pretty strong season so far and if they keep going the way they are a finals berth is on the cards.

MATCH 4: Liamopolis Imperials drew with Atletico Luez| 2 - 2
Luez started this match really strongly, having scored two goals within the first ten minutes. But unfortunately for them they just couldn’t hold back the Imperials who worked them over patiently for 45 minutes and then scored two goals of their own. Lucky for Luez, they just managed to survive the assault and should be pretty happy with a draw against the all consuming Imperials, but they will be left dreaming over what could have been...

FOX CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

MATCH 1: Katastrophies Owls drew with Wolves FC | 0 - 0
After such a strong showing in their first match, the Wolves have to be content with a nil-all draw to one of the more attacking teams in the comp. The goalkeepers of both teams really had their work cut out, with two of the better attacks in the league constantly rushing them. Both teams played well here and our prediction of a large Wolves victory could not be further from the actual result.

MATCH 2: Snowylanian Riders were defeated by PSGW| 1 - 2
Our prediction of a PSGW win came true here, though it probably shouldn’t have. After last round, the Riders seem to have put a lot of focus on their attack and it really paid off as they had twice the opportunities as PSGW. PSGW continued playing to their strong suit though, when they got an opportunity they capitalised and again flexed the accuracy of their strikers. Imagine if they managed a few more shots a game!

MATCH 3: Cretanjan Eagles defeated Dracarya FC | 1 - 0
Again, we saw another thrilling match here in the FOX Championship. Both teams had to fight hard to get even within the vicinity of the oppositions goals. Nobody would blame you if you likened this match to a game of rugby, fighting hard for any gain possible. In fact the goalies only had to attempt 9 saves in total. These are the kind of matches teams should be measured on and we are yet to see a game this even in the RPL.

MATCH 4: Balticona FC were defeated by FC Longhorns | 0 - 1
Unfortunately for Balticona, they just couldn’t penetrate the opposition’s goal in the whole first half and they played right into the Longhorns trap. As seen in the last game, the Longhorns are not the most aggressive team and they could be likened to a camper in Call of Duty, waiting for a cheap shot. Balticona tried to copy this in the second half but they made one small mistake and the Longhorns managed to score and then hold that lead for the final 10 minutes.

MATCH 5: AF Blackshirts were defeated by Cypress Scorpions | 0 - 2
After an easy win last round, the Blackshirts were pushed much harder this time and they simply weren’t ready for the brutal onslaught the Scorpions unleashed on them here and it showed. The Blackshirts need to lift their game, there will be hard games coming and if they want to make it to the big league (RPL), then they need to work on both defence and attack.
