LOM to progress to Quarter-Finals of The IDU Football Championship!
[Excerpt from the Iustitian Times]
After a tense game against [nation]New Lusitania[/nation] that ended 2-2, LOM will be progressing to the next stage of the IDUFC. This was made possible by some extremely fancy footwork by Yin Lan in the final minutes of the game. Next week, LOM will face off agains [nation]Verwood[/nation] in the quarter finals.
"I couldn't be more proud of my boys!" says Maximusian head coach Vincent Alfonsi. "With that said, we are up against one of the best teams in the league next week. To win it and progress to the Semi-Finals, we are gonna need to step up our game a couple of notches. We are the underdogs going into the match already. We barely made it into the [Quarter-Finals] and I imagine that some of that was luck. I know that the boys have it in them. We just need to see it on the pitch next week, plain and simple."
According to Maximusian National Team striker, Luke Brookshire, "[The Week 3 match] was one of the most intense [matches] I have ever played. We were all over the pitch, so were the Lusitanians. The ball was flying all over the pitch in whirlwind. The next thing you know I was chipping the ball over their goalie's head and scored. It was probably my favorite goal that I have ever scored! So much was on the line. The pressure was insane. I am just so glad that our team managed to pull it off. We are up against some tough players next week. It is gonna be all about sticking to what we know and keeping up the momentum. Wish us luck!"
