“FUMBBL CUP 2nd round. First off, all the creds to Verminardo all out the week. We both had some troubles finding a time to play, but he always adjusted to it and were very polite. Thanks for that.

Verminado won the kickoff, but chose to kick. Turned out to be a good call. It's probably the first time teams are competing for being the defending team first.

I had pretty basic turns the first 3 or 4. Then I took a risk to open up the defense a little. He took the bait. But first he pow'd my ss,blodge, dt,tackle,guard blitzer, leaving him out of the equation. He leaped, 1d pow'd my catcher and the ball scattered and ended up in his catchers hands.

I managed to get the ball back the turn after, but the recovery wasnt 100%. Some easy dodges and a blitz took the ballcarrier down. BUT, he snaked the pickup. Here I felt that I still had a chance to recover and score. So I went for plan B, the little riskier, but more rewarding. Everythin went according to plan, leaps worked, until nuffle stroke back. The devastating snakes on the gfi for the deciding block. Drive over, 0-1.

I tried to build up and keep on going. I managed well, but I totally fucked up my last turn. I've played over 2500 games on FUMBBL, but never made a mistake like this. Verminardo totally fooled me when it turned out that he had wrestle on his wardancer, leaving my ballcarrier on the ground. Half 1 over. 0-1.

Second half was pretty routine for the woodies. One quick TD and 0-2. About know, my team got fired up. But a little to late. 3 casulties and a few knockouts and I had a safe score. But I wanted to tie him aswell, before the game was over. So I went for the 3+2+2+ td. But, nuffle didnt want me to win tonight. I snaked the last gfi, leaving the ball to his ag6 wd, who passed it, and he slowly made the TD in his 8th turn. 0-3.

But, that pass was also that wd's last. The agility monster got group fouled to his death in turn 6. Verminardo had to choice to score before it happend. But he took the risk. It failed.

Overall it was a good matchup, great coach and it was fun. Equal dices but the ag6 made the difference in this game. I really missed my PO, MB tackle blitzer this game and also my block guard lino. That would have helped alot.

Thanks again Verminardo. I hope Forty Miners wont be any problem for you :)

All the best,
Nyberg”
