(8) ALOTTAFAITH BOOMERANGEROOS (AUSTRALIA) 3

(6) FC VANEIGESNIEVERNEFFE (NETHERLANDS) 4 R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 12/05/2015

Alottafaith had great plans to achieve at least the semi-finals. They upgraded their players fully. But somehow they didn´t manage to fight against the overwhelming power of the Dutch Vaneigesnieverneffe (literally translated: "Automatically not far beneath" ). The first half was boring with a few shots on goal, they both couldn´t put the strategy right, maybe it was anxiety? The second half made it all better with 7 goals. Vaneigesnieverneffe started with Brazilian Conan Jatobá. Every time Alottafaith scored the goal to keep up with their opponent, Vaneigesnieverneffe took over control for another goal, especially Luuk van Geluk (2x).

(15) DOVEOS (NETHERLANDS) 1

(4) MARAVILLAJOYOSA (SPAIN) 2 R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 18/05/2015

Maravillajoyosa was the champion in 2012. After that glorious moment they didn´t achieve any good result anymore due to the fact that the other teams simply were getting upgraded.

DOVEOS is the underdog from the Netherlands which would try to defeat the Spanish giant.

It all started pretty well for DOVEOS, with a goal from Brazilian topscorer Julhiano Aarão.

The pressure of Maravillajoyosa increased every minute. Only in the second half they could transform that pressure in goals: Wlad Stroganoff (old RVC´76) and wonderboy Felipe Mignon.

DOVEOS tried to come back but the clear lack of persuavive football kept Maravillajoyosa in control.

 

(2) AVENTURANTES COSTA DAS PALMAS DE SORTE (BRAZIL) 7 (14) GOUQIAOZHOU PINK ELEPHANTS (CHINA) 1 R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 18/05/2015

The Brazilians are considered to be a top favorite for the title. They change their team with the best players of Supimpamonhangatuguaçu and are expecting nothing less than a place in the final.

First obstacle is Gouqiaozhou Pink Elephants, who are struggling to get their team harmonized. Good individual players but no synergy between them.

You could see that the players were nervous with all this pressure as favorite. Valdisnei opened the score after 13 minutes.

The Brazilians needed so many attempts and failed completely.

Only Homero Beluga took the ball from a 40 meters distance and left the Chinese keeper without hope. This was the turning point they needed.

Nano Bananeira (2x) and Girassol (2x) showed their skills. They had a lot of help of Freddizinho who gave all the passes. At the end he deserved also his wonderful goal.

Nobody has doubt that Aventurantes really can achieve their major success in years.

Semi final should be possible to reach as they will play the next round against Bratwurstia Wolfsdudeleckenheim or Alianza Nueva de la Rosa Roja.

(13) VIVACIAGGIO CALCIO (ITALY) 2

(9) SURREAL PLAYA DEL RITMOCALIENTE (SPAIN) 3 R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 14/05/2015

Vivaciaggio had no luck in all previous tournaments, although they have very good individual players. Will they make a surprise?

Well, Surreal played freely of any obligation. It could sweaty for the Italians, until Piero Ulissis scored with a smart shot. He had to score more after some one-on-one attempts with Regata.

The illusions of Vivaciaggio disappeared when the Mexican Tutancamon shot the free kick into the highest corner. 

The stupid infringement from João Boagente meant red card and penalty which Papo Soberano didn´t miss.

Also Taco Grande used all available space in the middle of the defense for his goal.

Fortunately Nino diFortuni could make the loss less painful with a standard corner goal. If this would be still sufficient to have a possibility in the 2nd leg is very minimum according to experts and critics.

(11) WHATTHEHECKABERRY PACIFIC 85ERS (USA) 4

(6) JOIEDEVIVRAIVILLIER LOINTAINNAIS (FRANCE) 2 R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 13/05/2015

The Americans were superior the whole first half with too many to mention attempts against the posts. Reggy Song could take advantage of space and headed 1-0.

All looked like that Whattheheckaberry would score more. The unlucky defenders thought to hold the ball from Botanijakkovic but he was like wax.

Whattheheckaberry substituted 4 players at half time. One of them Joy Rainbow, former regular player, now bench sitter. He showed that the coach was wrong to keep him out of the team from the beginning.

Valuable Van Peanuts made an ugly standard goal, but it counts.

At the end Nostalgiamo made his goal for the French, which makes the 2nd leg very interesting!

(11) DAPPERSCHOT RIJSTEBRIJBERGE (BELGIUM) 6

(1) WHITE SWANS PARK STONEHENGERS (ENGLAND) 6 R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 08/05/2015

White Swans Park was finalist of FLTT Champions League 2015 against Dutch winner Sintjuttemismorgenstond. Again in this tournament they are favorite for the title. Dapperschot had a lot of changes in their team, many went to top favorite Racing Wafelrijk-Plezantegem, their neighbour. WSP started fast with a goal of Javi Castañetes and Dwayne Harmony. Newcomer Toby Joli scored a wonderful goal. The defense of Rijstebrijberge made huge mistakes to leave space wide open as big as the canal of Panama, Dwayne Harmony took advantage of it immediately, 1-3. Other newcomer Evan Salamivic (traded from RWP) scored 2-3, but right the next minute Spanish Javi Castañetes made it clear that WSP is a serious candidate. The second half Rijstebrijberge was searching some satisfaction for their own public. Jeroen Moestijn (also traded with RWP) managed to score outside the 16 meter district. Prince Heerlijk gave a perfect pass from left to the head of Evan Salamivic to make it all even. Last ten minutes were meant for one-man-show of Samuel E´go with two wonderful goals. But the most beautiful goal came from Toby Joli from another perfect pass of Prince Heerlijk. Dapperschot still hopes on a wonder for the second leg...

(7) BRATWURSTIA WOLFSDUDELECKENHEIM (GERMANY) 4

(16) ALIANZA NUEVA DE LA ROSA ROJA (CHILE) 1 R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 05/05/2015

The Germans are considered to be one of the contenders for the title. Alianza Nueva de la Rosa Roja won the pre-qualification round, mainly due to topscorer Paco Algodonito with his blue painted hair.

Bratwurstia was lucky in the beginning when Alianza Nueva was standing alone in front of the keeper but failed. After that Bratwurstia took control with many changes until Björn Tollezeit openened the score in the 34th minute.

And just before the end of the first half Carlo Berggämse scored with a very beautfil "bicycle", one of the most amazing goals until now at this tournament.

Alfonsalessio did something back, thinking that Alianza Nueva still could make a chance.

Then Bratwurstia took over. Riesighammer showed why he is considered the best German player at this moment. Although we think that Carlo Berggämse is much better, scoring his second goal.

(16) FC JOHWA OKIDOKIO (SOUTH KOREA) 5

(10) NAGADARISUMERU (INDONESIA) 0 R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 05/05/2015

FC Johwa Okidokio invested a lot to have new players after the debacle in the pre-qualification round. They were lucky to substitute the unfortunate Norwegian Ostara Wunjogard at the last minute.

It really showed off. The South-Koreans were the best in the whole game and not one moment there was weakness in their defense. The forwarders did what they supposed to do: score.

Pavão, the remarkable and ever present keeper of Nagadarisumeru, delayed Johwa´s first goal. It took almost until the end of the first half that Junzi shot the ball under Pavão, 1-0.

Cyrano Iupi (3x) and Nicholas René finished it the second half. FC Johwa Okidokio is ready to go to the finals, at least that is their expectation now....

(9) SCHAUNACHVORN ALTEKÜHENBACH (AUSTRIA) 2

(3) BRUEGHELHOFSE BOYS (NETHERLANDS) 2 R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 04/05/2015

Midas Lobomau showed that he is the new playmaker of Altekühenbach when he shot the ball hard in the right corner, 1-0. But then the keeper made a terrible mistake by taking down the forward of Brueghelhofse Boys, red card and penalty which Teun Fijkema didn´t miss of course.

With 10 players Altekühenbach tried to reach a new score with some good possibilities.

The surprise was big when Gonzo Bacalhau could score with his head.in the 80th minute.

Kaskaskinov who substituted the injured Odoaker, scored three minutes later.

(4) GRÜSSGOTT FRISCH AM BERG (AUSTRIA) 0 (12) RABBITSFOOTHAMPTON LIONHEARTS (USA) 0 R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 04/05/2015

Although it looks like none of them wanted to play for winning because of the end score 0-0, there were many changes. Especially the team of playmaker Gutmar Gartner showed up several times in front of the keepr of Rabbitsfoothampton, Brisk Day.

We can say that the both keepers were the players of the game. 

In the last minute Farol kept the ball magically out of his goal!

(10) SUPIMPAMONHANGATUGUAÇU (BRAZIL) 4 (5) BURRO PUENTE (MEXICO) 2

R01 - L01 - ORANGE ZONE 27/04/2015

Both sides got enough changes in the first twenty minutes with attractive attacking mentality. In the 21st minutes finally Luan da Varanda got his beautiful goal, shot in the left corner. Suçu started to be the better team after this goal with many shots from distance. Jarbas Costela succeeded to lift the ball over the keeper, for the first time ever in a championship. Maestroctavio boldly shot the ball from 30 meters distance, not hard but keen in the right corner.

But Suçu forgot that Burro Puente is not a weak team as 5th placed. Keeper couldn´t keep the ball completely out of his goal when Tiburón showed up.

Again Luan shot from the second line for his second goal of the evening. At the end Burro Puente tried to minimize the loss with a goal of Riki Leon who accidently stood at the right place to finish.

The 2nd leg is going to be interesting! 

(15) HVDP PUITNATTUMMERPOLDER - NETHERLANDS 3 (3) UTOPIABACANANEMA MILAGRE MIRIM - BRAZIL 3

R01 - L01 - BLUE ZONE 27/04/2015

HVDP, placed 15th, had a wonder start when they scored their first goal in the 7th minute by Urbain Kuusmans from a rebouncing ball against the post shot by tall and redhead Baltazar Flits.

The pleasure taste didn´t last long, in fact only 2 minutes. Brazilian wing Helder Luz could keep easily away two defenders.

There was certainly a lack in the defense of HVDP. Several times the forwarders of Utopiabacananema could go through until they were stopped by the fantastic goalkeeper.

HVDP´s luck vanished after the goals of Dashinshi and Domingo de Paz.

The Dutch had to go 200% to recover. Balthazar Flits used his tallness for a standard head goal from a corner.

Utopiabacananema made one fatal mistake in the defense to give the ball unnecessary away to Juul van Heirel who didn´t need a second chance to make the draw. You would almost think that it was a match fixture!
