Football Recap

Since it's World Cup time (yay!), I guess I should report on how Blue Albatross FC did this fantasy season.  If you'll recall the last time I reported on the status of the team's performance in the English Premier League, we were (temporarily) in first place.  True to form, we dropped back to third (gasp!) the following week.  There we sat for the next couple of weeks, although we managed to climb up into second place going into the final week of competition.  Surprise of all surprises, we pulled out of the week scrabbling up into the number one position, and that's where we finished this year's EPL campaign!
Now, as for the Champions League, and the Europa League, well, we didn't fare as well there.  Finished 6/23 in the Champions League (although only 13 points separated 4th and 7th places), and finished 2/7 in the Europa League.  I consider those to be pretty good, as I really don't have a good handle on who the decent players are in those leagues (especially the Europa League).  And, for the record, these rankings are for the leagues in which I was participating.  Overall, I finished thusly:

English Premier League: 491,826 out of 2,322,686 with 1,975 points
Champions League: 44,015 out of 349,293 with 543 points
Europa League: 1,232 out of 52,013 with 593 points

It was a good campaign, and I look forward to signing up again in the fall.

And, yes, Blue Albatross FC is represented in the FIFA World Cup Fantasy League.  Wish us well!!

A Video Two-fer

It's been a while since I posted, so I'm taking the easy way out.  Twice.  That's right...it's a video two-fer.  But be warned, one of 'em will make you cry.
