if you (like the rest of us) don't care about Timmy Messi or Birmingham, our league cellar-dwellers, you may skip to the very bottom. haha --Somewhere in Nigeria (Not Ace McZero) Every dog has its day, or its own article. Even the rabies-infested teacup chihuahuas banished to the basement of their master's abode--or in this case, the bottom of the league board. Saturday in the International 55 League (The League You Wish You Were In™) features two of the most intriguing matchups of the season. The Clash of the Titans (Navenby vs. 4II41) has already been covered, and quite frankly, doesn't stand up to its little redheaded parapalegic stepsister counterpart, Birmingham vs. Timmy Messi FC. Whereas the former pits the top private league's top two teams, this battle pits two of the worst teams in private league history. Birmingham has lost every one of its 10 matches with a goal differential of -27, but even that sour line is better than Timmy Messi, who doesn't even deserve its one point given its -42 GD thru 10 games on only 4 goals scored. To add salt to the wound, that one draw came against NK Bosna, whose manager seemingly has forgotten he even has a team. I attempted to get a hold of Masterofplay for a comment, but instead received a post card saying he was on vacation in Serbia, with a picture of him surrounded by beautiful Serbian women, and accompanied by Bojanv. Since that draw, Timmy Messi has only had one game in which they lost by less than 4 goals--a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Ace McZer0's C-team, that's C-. "I got a free pass as I was Timmy's first opponent after his milestone draw and it looked as if he'd actually be somewhat relevant," the Demons of Razgriz manager said in an interview with Int'l 55 News yesterday, "I didn't bother telling the rest of the league though that I'd promoted my entire Junior team for that game and had them wear the jerseys of the senior squad. Rebsiot didn't need me to tell him a thing to take great interest in that game." Birmingham may be one point behind Timmy, but nobody can fault Strike123 for lack of trying. "He comes in every weekend, and is relatively active," said Mila Kunis, the front counter secretary at Int'l 55 HQ, "He's even a respectable 7th and on a current 3 game win streak in his Div 4 regular league. He's just been overwhelmed by the competition of this league. That and he doesn't make enough moves to improve his team." Truth be told, Strike123 and Timmysnazzy seem to be having an anti-nuclear arms race, as neither do anything to improve their squads aside from bare bones training and buying cheap players rated in the 30's off the market. Birmingham did buy a couple players in the high 40's last week, but as the 55 in "International 55" suggests, if you don't have at least a majority of your starting lineup in the 50's, this is the league you wish you were *NOT* in. Timmysnazzy said as much in a recent rant on the league forums, which was promptly ridiculed by the league's more successful managers. So how will this epic pillowfight of the week go down? Rebsiot wouldn't even predict the score, claiming that he just does not care about the bottom-feeders of the league. "They're like the fat on the edge of a nice pork chop, they give the league some flavor in the form of easy wins and easy calories, but ultimately you just want to cut them off and throw them to Ace's Demons." Serbian Pimp Bojanv was a little more stomach churning in his assessment, "They're like the fat on the bottom of a woman's arms, right up near the armpit," he said with contempt, "Serbian women do not have this fat, and International 55 is like Serbian women, the sexiest in all the land!" Ace McZer0, in an instance of OOC, was actually nice and sincere with his assessment of the matchup, "Looking at each team's roster sheet, I've decided that neither squad has any players worth hostiling, but if I had to hostile somebody, it'd likely be off of Birmingham. That being the case, I would expect them to win 3-1." Color me skeptical. This is a battle of two teams that can't score, and can't defend. Nevermind "something has to give", something has to *hold*, and it'll be the fans who attend this game, holding eachother, asking why they paid money to watch these two pansies pillow fight when we could've easily paid two scantily clad teenage girls to fight instead. Prediction: 0-0, after the soccer gods hurl a lightning bolt strike at the pitch shortly after kickoff, killing all 22 players instantly, the timekeeper is pressured by the Int'l 55 front office to keep the clock running, as watching 22 dead bodies being picked at by buzzards couldn't possibly be less entertaining than watching these two embarrassments attempt to play a soccer match. Next week--International 55 managers hold a summit/slumber party at league HQ, and hold the first annual Int'l 55 Midseason awards ceremony. Edited by AceMcZer0 22-07-2011 22:22 |
