Soccerproject latest updates

As you see, I am top of the league, and I am aiming for promotion as champions this season. This will be the end product of a 5-season plan, and I am aiming to stay in F division, and kick off another plan to work towards better results there.

I took 4 seasons to accustom to G division, when I finished 5th after mediocre seasons of finishing 8th, 8th and 9th. I seek promotion, and if I do, I will try to activate more managerial thinking to help the club establish itself fast in F division.

Thriving in new-found confidence

I am now top of the table!

After 8-8-9-5 finishes in my past 4 seasons since my promotion to G division, I am now making a breakthrough, and is currently topping the table.

I aim for promotion as league champions. At first I set promotion as a target within 3 seasons, but I revised it to 5 seasons, and I am now doing well.

I am hoping to get a new RB to replace my ageing Zulaloglu, who is one of my first buys and is immensely experienced.

I also hope to get a young RF, as both my RFs at the moment are aged 30 and above. As for the other areas, my team has the capability of pushing for promotion and a good chance of surviving F division should I get promoted, as long as I maintain a good teamspirit (above 70) and make about 2 quality signings.

S-League is going to be fun going down to the final straight! If the Super Reds and SAFFC both win the games in hand, the top 3 (add in Home Utd) will be separated by a mere 1 point! With SAFFC being the one in 3rd place, it is even more exciting as I support them and they have a good record going into the final stretch of matches.

Long long ago, I made a post. And now I am back.

I am 6th in the table, and things are rather rosy, except for the fact that for all my good form, I am still 5 points short of 5th place which means end of season money bonuses.

But that's all I have to say for now.

What next for Singapore football then?

End of year ASEAN Football Championships

Win it for us!

This game has now dropped one rank on my list of favourite soccer management games, but Freekick is still one rung lower, not to worry.

Not to be mistaken, this game is still very good, but it remains tough to progress further than Division G. The Division H level is an illusion to managers who may be conned into believing this game is easy to master and progress in.

I am in my 4th season in Division G.5 and only now has my club began to show signs of progress. I finished 8th, 8th and 9th in my past 3 seasons here, with point totals of 44, 50 and 47 respectively if I am not mistaken.

I currently sit in 7th position, 4 points behind the 5th placed team, a position which I had been targetting all along but had yet to achieve.

I am currently not planning any purchases, but I will be offloading more players from my still inflated 28 players. Sweepers are not at all useful for the lower levels of divisions, so I might sell both of them. Also, I will be deciding on which CF to sell, and a CB will have to go once my youth player had developed most of his skills.

Overall, things are looking slightly brighter, but there is still some work to be done before I can finally reach 5th position, which would be a landmark reached in my quest for promotion.

Spain to edge it

I am coming, finally, to a decision for a prediction of the winner of Euro 2008.

It is hours to go before the spectacle rounds up. As much as I want Jens Lehmann to enjoy a good honour, I think Spain will edge it.

Spain is on the back of nearly a dozen straight victories. Their best player is their supersub till now, Cesc Fabregas, and not the injured David Villa. Villa has only thrived in the group stages, scoring a hat-trick in the first match.

It is Cesc Fabregas who is a real contender to be the player of the tournament. His influential performance against Russia in the semi-finals has outlined his major standing in the squad, and he is certainly one of the players who will be contenders for the top honours both as an individual and with their teams.

I still believe Thierry Henry's best is yet to come. If Wenger can see the light, and Henry see the interest, to come back to Arsenal for a couple of seasons will make this a truly memorable era for modern football. He could go to US when he is 38 years old. I am sure he can still make an impact.

Lehmann hasn't got much clean sheets this tournament. He won't get it in the final either. I am boldly predicting a scintillating match ending in a 3-3 draw. Fabregas may have yet another 2 assists. But Spain to win in extra-time. A better prediction will be a 2-1 or 3-2 victory for Spain, perenial underachievers no more.

Herald the arrival of a new big star.
