As i couldn't get my internet connection to work i wasn't able to post my analysis of yesterdays results.
But i see i missed on two games making it 29/32 so far.
Anyway moving on to next round

Alpha:

IKK Fu - Belgian (IKK Fu have had a great opening so far, while Belgian lost twice against middle teams. IKK Fu surely takes another win)
Marseille - Sweden (Marseille showed sign of their depth problems last game, while Sweden might have lost the playoff with yeserdays loss. It seems like a close game with advantage Marseille which is my guess to win)
South Yorkshire - Southriding (A topgame. Southriding just beat a top4 team and showed they should be reckoned with. But i think South Yorkshire is just to strong and will win this)
Belfast - Spaniards (Like last season, Spaniard has a really tough start, and i'm afraid they still will have to wait for the season first win as Belfast is just to strong.)
Lyon - Reykjavik (Reykjavik has so far been crushed twice, and as Lyon is another playoff team, it will most likely go equally bad for Reykjavik here. Lyon wins.)
Limerick - Port St Lucie (Limerick took an important step towards playoffs yesterday and Port St Lucie isn't good enough to ruin it for them)
Glasgow - Bow Street (Another topgame though i am very uncertain which teams will take this. We got crushed by Belfast, while Glasgow lost to Southriding.
I'm guessing we win, but i can see it go the other way just as easily)
Cork City - Belgrade (Belgrade is just to weak to have a chance here. Cork wins)

Zeta:

Shamrocks - Tranmere (Shamrock with two easy games so far, while Tranmere narrowly lost against Buffalo. This one will be close, but i think Tranmere wins this barely.)
Vatican - Munich (Vatican is just to good for munich and will win this)
Buffalo - Koln (Buffalo won easily over the Fighting Irish while Koln lost and it says it all. easy win for Buffalo)
Rome - Drunken (Drunken had a close game with London, while Rome took a strong victory over Kilkenny. This is a really tough one, as i think these two teams seems equal. I gotto say Rome wins, but i think Drunken might as easily win also)
London - Leeds (Leeds doesn't stand a chance, giving London the win.)
Nola - Fighting Irish (Neither team has impressed so far, and it do seems like yet another close game, but i'll say Fighting Irish got the advantage and will win this)
Kilkenny - Phoenix (Kilkenny will crush them)
Walthamstow - Athen (Both teams has two losses as they didn't stand a chance against some of the best teams. gain two teams who seem pretty equal, but my guess goes to Athen just cause they hav performed best so far.)

Man I hate it when everyone says things like 'too strong', 'win easily' (from one of the other threads)...I only hope you are correct because the mighty always have the farthest to fall!

I thought that you were going to. That was certainly a tight game. You guys will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

Although if everyone takes note, the 3 unbeaten teams at this stage are Buffalo, London and Rome!!! No surprises for the rest of the division there.

Round 3

Alpha:

IKK Fu had no trouble getting through Belgians defense scoring point after point.
Abit more surprisingly was that they had problems at times with stopping Belgian.
Still they were never threathened and is leading alpha, while Belgian has 3 losses but by scoring this much they are holding 12th.

Sweden got just crushed by Marseille giving them their 3rd win and second place so far.
With their second loss against a team they had to defeat to make playoffs, it seems unlikely allready Sweden will get there and atm is on 11th.

In the game between South Yorkshire and Southriding, Southriding scored the first TD.
But it didn't last long as both teams offense were great early on.
South Yorkshire scored a TD off their own, and the two teams followed eachother as they both scored one more each.
Southriding started having problems, and throwing an interception they just gave away a TD to South Yorkshire.
At this time both teams gotten tired and neither managed much before halftime where South Yorkshire lead 21-14
South Yorkshire started the second half with the same mistake as Southriding did earlier, throwing an interception which followed by a TD for Southriding.
Yet another interception, this time made by South Yorkshire could have resulted in another TD, but a lucky fumble saved Southriding this time.
However South Yorkshire came back and took the lead again with the games first FG.
Southriding started getting pushed more and more backwards, and when they lost the ball at their own 10, South Yorkjshire could score yet another TD.
southriding struck back with some desperate passes scoring another TD and still having hope of victory.
South Yorkshire weren't able to crush that dream completly as they only gained a FG in the following drive, but Southriding had nothing more to give and South Yorkshire won a hardfought game.
With a great start South Yorkshire is on 3rd, while Southriding is following close behind on a 6th.

Belfast met Spaniards and the first half was a close one with Belfast leading by 1 point.
but when the 3rd quarter started, Belfast just speeded off leaving Spaniards back in their dust. Though Spaniards did get two consolidation TD's at the end of the game it still was a secure victory for Belfast.
With 3 victories over 3 tough opponents Belfast has had a great start and is on 4th, while Spaniards like last year has 3 losses and so far only holds 12th

Lyon had an easy game against Reykjavik and currently holds 5th, while Reykjavik is down on 14th.

Glasgow met Bow Street, and we still are nowhere near what we were last season, as we just couldn't stand up to Glasgow this time.
Glasgow won this important game taking 7th, while we are down at 10th.

Limerick had some trouble with Port St Lucie early in the game, but as Port St Lucie got tired, they easily secured their victory.
Limerick holds 8th while Port St Lucie is on 15th and releagtion atm.

Cork crushed Belgrade giving them 5th while Belgrade not surprisingly is last.

Zeta:

London massacred Leeds and is leading Zeta while Leeds is last.

Buffalo crushed Koln and takes 2nd while Koln is in trouble down at 14th atm.

Rome met Drunken and took a solid lead early on, and never gave Drunken a chance.
Rome looking strong holding 3rd while Drunken so far holds 11th.

Vatican was huge favourites against Munich, but it didn't start well as Muncih scored a TD early and then held off Vaticans offense.
Munich were pressuring most when they fumbled the ball close to their endzone.
It should have been a TD, but Vaticans offense still couldn't get anywhere and they only got a FG.
Bu tMunich managed to get back from this shock, and before the half ended scored another TD leading 14-3 by halftime.
Second half started with two interceptions from Vatican, but Munich was obviously tired as they only manage to get a FG from it.
Vaticans offense just couldn't do a thing and not surprisingly Munich pressured most and managed to score another TD.
At this time both teams defense were tired and the points started pouring in.
Vatican finally got far enoguh to make a FG.
But Munich answered with yet another TD.
Vatican finally got through Munich's defense and scored their first TD of the game, however they just couldn't stop Munich from doing the same.
With little time left, Vaticans KR took matter into his own hands scoring a TD during the kickoff.
They managed this time to stop Munich, but it was all to late as they only had time to one more TD which was far from enough.
Shocking upset by Munich whos on 4th, but Vatican is following on 6th.

As predicted Tranmere and Shamrocks had a close game, with Tranmere drawing the longest straw, scoring a TD in the final minutes.
Tranmere is looking good on 5th while Shamrocks is down on 9th so far.

Nola proved way to good for Fighting Irish who continue to dissapoint.
Nolas is on a 7th, while Fighting Irish is down at 12th.

Kilkenny massacred Phoenix and takes 8th, while Phoenix is on 15th.

Walthamstow controlled in the game against Athen taking their first win, and sending them up to 10th, while Athen still haven't won and is in trouble atm down at 13th

That almost makes up for the three dropped passes in the last minute against Buffalo that cost us the game. Only almost though!!!

We had a similar situation against Buffalo in our last game, just came up short on the final possession, hopefully you will be able to slow down the London juggernaut in the next game.

Good summary of the game. The TDs at the end show that even though we are undefeated, there is still lots of room for improvement.

Crazy game against Glasgow. Shows how much times have changed that we can't match the Lions.

Looks like some of us are going to be battling hard for the low end playoff spots.
