What a ding dong of a FIFA evening last week was! An evenings of no draws on the menu, and games swinging either way to the end, a fantastic showing of FGFC skills to keep the team in Division 1. Luckily @Luseth and @James5497 had their shooting boots on which dragged us through the first 4 games with 2 wins and 8 goals. Even the Rodman MoneyShot from the regular corners we take was enough to make Never One quit the game early doors. It was also a welcome back to Connor @JamaicanSteve after missing a few MNFs and he made the perfect comeback with a sublime strike against the same team.
 
Going from the sublime one game to the down right awful luck and football the next, where We Like to Fist 😅 comfortable performed said action against us, scoring 4 to no return. The highlight of the match coming more so from Tom's @LordBaguette antic's on the last IRL FG meet up than the lack of any fine football skills on the pitch. The battle was real through the night, after securting another 4-2 win against Tetaball FC, it was probably expected that the outside chance of Division 1 was on the cards until a swift 8 goals were put past the weakened FGFC defence across 2 losses.
 
A resilient battling display kept FGFC in Division 1 though for yet another season with 2 wins coming against FC Mvtnga and Internazionade; the former of the two being pegged back from a 3-2 lead for FGFC to win grab 2 quick goals in 2 minutes in the last phase of the game to break the opposition hearts. As usual, a final game always seems to end up on a loss most weeks as fatigue hits in...with @James5497 having a very early bath trying to be too eager to get to sleep the ball, receiing a red card in the first half.
 
Another hard fought evening with some great highlights as always! GGFG

What a Monday Night Football. A huge night of games - 15 in total, which included many laughs and near misses, epic fails and glorious winning moments across the whole night. Not sure i've ever had to over 9 minutes of highlights but it was well worth it.
 
An incredible start with free flowing football gave FGFC 3 wins on the bounce, with big Dennis Rodman @James5497 hitting the 'Money shots' or headers to be precise from @Macca89 Maccaroon's corners. Matty @Luseth was chipping in too from the right hand side, blinding the defence with his ridiculous fluorescent blue curly hair...and moustache. In fact, the scores could've been higher if some incredible flair shot went the other side of the post but where's the fun if you can't play some 'Overkick ball' with some sitters flying way over the bar.
 
A little blip from some crazy games, one game somehow losing from a winning position, 6-4, the FIFA script was feeling like it was just around the corner waiting to inject some losses into the rest of the night. The team stayed resolute, especially after we found Martin @Findmartin later on at the back with Maccaroon playing a blinder at the Any role. @Ally was whipping dangerous balls in from the left and was unlucky not to get some assists as FGFC went on to rack up another 4 wins in a row. The last 2 games, scoring 14 goals across them. Teryiaki Sauce @Antpool84 put a killer display in CAM and Midfield alongside playermaker Pat De Groyne @jordie1892 with some incredible double X passes splitting the defences - and some Kung Fu Goals to add to the incredible scenes.
 
Getting promoted on a subsequent Monday meant that FGFC starting to feel the skill level jump whilst the FIFA 23 Pros were still accumulating skill points and punching way above our weight. 4 end-to-end high scoring draws brought a super long evening of football to a close, not without a hilarious moment from Kilma Self @LordBaguette having an Eric Dier moment rushing to the toilet mid-game and forgetting he has 2 hands that can work independently at the critical moments (the highlights say it all below 😅).
 
It really felt like MNF was back this week. Even @jordie1892 was falling for the top shelf Dad jokes.

First match report for a while so here goes it!
 
FGFC have managed to find our way back up the leagues to Division 3 after restarting to try and challenge ourselves to get all the trophies and medals. Luckily enough we don't disappoint and don't get anywhere near these accolades whilst we bemoan our FIFA Script luck. A night full liquorice allsorts, starting promising with a few quality displays @JamaicanSteve  Connor Chameleon doing his best to finish top goalscorer with 8 goals from his favoured CDMLWBLWCF position, the best one of the lot coming from his new 8ft 2" build that is a slow tank at Left Back, bursting through to score one of our winning goals.
 
Early wins were followed by close losses, taking early leads only to be pegged back and concede goals out of nowhere (well, thats what the defence want you to think). At one stage @GazzaGarratt's pass completion rate for a single game was 3.4%. It was epitomised by a game dominated by FGFC, only to lose a goal on the break to 'Jareer Ball'. They soon went down to 10 men just after the hour and a barrage of shots came in; most notably by Torpedo Tony @TonyAE86  who was doing his best to recalibrate his goal compass and went close...eventually. A late run by No Pace James ended with a shot narrowly going wide but a penalty awarded as the player took him out just afterwards. After the penalty was converted, FG pushed hard for a winner, only for the ref to inexplicably blow up with Connor through and the keeper off his line by 40 yards. Script Life.
 
One highlight was the incredible start against 'laddo FC', as they seemed to be mesmerised by the humungous long ball and the raw pace of Where's Martin @Findmartin  who then played a first time lobbed ball to Tom Cebious @LordBaguette , who quite frankly scored a goal to finally knock him out of his permanent depressive state for at least 2 minutes. FGFC then ended up losing the game 5-2 😄
 
 
A few more yoyo-ing with good wins and devastating comebacks from the opposition gave us consolidation in Division 3 by the end of the night. Whilst we thought two bad defeats started the next season, FGFC ended up finishing on a high by destroying LGBTQ United (yes, that was their name) 7-1, a brace from both Tony and Connor.
