With 5 goals against FC International, Takuma Ueyama (Zion) is back on top of the goal scorer rankings making him a threat to win both Division 1 and Division 2 golden boots. During November 9/10, every cup game went as predicted. The higher division team has always won. However, on November 16th, Guts SC pulled off a giant killing in their cup match against Kanto Celts.
Kanto Celts just came off a tough loss to Panthers the week before (2-1) and Guts were coming...
An interesting phenomenon unfolded during the gigantic 12 hour booking of Shigaku. A few TML teams contacted the Footy Japan Headquarters saying they don't have enough players for the Shigaku weekend. Professor Ochiai explains that "with 12 TML games played on the Shigaku booking day, it means 24 teams have to put out a unique team with no overlapping players (unless those players are willing to play two TML games the same day). Thus with so many games on the same day, it...
It's been a month since TML 17 has started. Every team has now played a game and the competition seems to be tougher in each division.
The only teams that have not had a loss or draw yet are Hibernian FC, Pumas FC (Div 1), Suns FC (Div 2), Fussa (Div 3). Every other team has had a draw or a loss which speaks volumes on how competitive teams are.
Robert Walters Team of the Week award this time will go to Brunello FC!
Hibernian FC, TML’s most succesfull club, have joined the fray. They had a tough game against British Embassy that went down to the wire but Tomoitsu Kunii of Hibs made the difference between the two.
King George also got their first win of the season. They unfortunantely will not be winning their next game due to former TML manager, James Bates, joining them for the next match.
Some suprising results as the TML plunged into its third week.
Division 1 champions Pumas were losing to Panthers 2-4 but managed to make a comeback in the last 15 minutes of the game. Favorites to win division 3, Fussa FC, were on the verge of losing to Albion Old Boys 2-1 before scoring 2 goals. Fussa FC have three wins now, putting them in the clear top. Their next game will be against Clash FC, the other favorite to win division 3. The result of that match...
With the season finally kicking off, August 24/25 saw 9 TML games played. A plethora of goals scored across all fixtures with 3 people scoring hat tricks!
This week was YeBoiz FC's and YC&AC's debut games. Suns, being third place last season (some say purposely after they forfeited their final game), are favorites to win the league this season. YeBoiz FC played very well against what would be one of their toughest matches. However Suns were defensively well...
TML 17 started it's first batch of matches all in the late evening to avoid as much of the heat (thank you TML Operations Manager).
It seems like all the results for the weekend were "predictable". All the higher placed clubs from last season won. Fussa (freshly demoted from Division 2) beat Brunello FC. Jetro welcomed Eastern Capital to its first Division 2 game by giving them a 2-0 loss. The most evenly matched game was Dutch vs Guts, however Takuma Ueyama (who...
