===Founding===


The [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|first 4chan cup]] was a resounding success, garnering immense support from all corners of the imageboard. In the lead-up to the organization's second event, the [[4chan Cup Committee]] decided to replace some of the smaller teams from uninterested boards. /tg/, eager to be a part of such an exciting spectacle, immediately began working on a bid as a potential expansion team. Spearheaded by the combined efforts of Alpha Complex and the Imperium of Man, the /tg/ bid would be accepted by the [[4chan Cup Committee|4CCC]], with the board replacing [[/s/]] ([[/s/]] would later rejoin the 4CCC). /tg/ would be joined by [[/co/]], [[/jp/]], and [[/o/]] in the [[Second Founding]] of 4CCC teams. The club was officially founded on December 31, 2011, chaired by Friend Computer of Alpha Complex.

/tg/'s initial roster creation was a long and exhaustive process, as the many minds of the board attempted to come to a consensus on the squad that would represent them. The process was not helped by the strict mods of /tg/, who would delete 4chan Cup threads on sight. Thankfully, the fa/tg/uys would not give up, and /tg/'s roster was completed in time for the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup]]. Although it has undergone many changes since then, the first roster was the birth of many of the club's defining characteristics. The attacking duo of Creed and Doomrider, Tankred the dreadnought between the posts, the big black anchor Nigramarines, and many others all found their start here.

/tg/ performed surprisingly well in the lead-up to the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup]]. They defeated a number of powerhouse clubs in friendlies, including [[/sp/]] and [[/a/]]. These friendlies also saw the birth of the club's first rivalry. [[/co/]] and /tg/ would duel several times before the Winter Cup, culminating in a legendary match in the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup#Preliminary Round|Winter Cup preliminaries]] that [[/co/]] would win on penalties.

The Winter Cup had sparked a new e-soccer passion for the denizens of /tg/. The club had a strong spring season following their first competition, cementing their 5th rank in the [[Rankings|4CCC Power Rankings]] and winning the unofficial Easter Cup. However, worries for the team's fate in the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]] began to arise. Many teams were beginning to sign managers, and yet with under 24 hours before the cup kickoff /tg/'s club still had key vacancies in its coaching staff. Finally, {{Anonymous|The DM|!!4ejBZS7hAn9 }} signed on as assistant manager to Commissar John Fuklaw, and fa/tg/uys entered the Summer Cup with championship hopes. /tg/ was drawn into [[2012 4chan Summer Cup#Group F|Group F]], alongside [[/v/]] and newcomers [[/3/]] and [[/toy/]]. Initial impressions were worried: the [[/v/]] club was no pushover, and both [[/3/]] and [[/toy/]] had excellent showings in the [[2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup]]. Nonetheless, a berth into the knockout rounds was the bare minimum expectation.

/tg/ was matched against [[/v/]] for the club's [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/tg/ vs /v/|first group fixture]]. The dynamic duo of Creed and Doomrider were struck with poor conditioning, and the side struggled. [[/v/]] would pull ahead twice, but thanks to the efforts of Doomrider, /tg/ managed to equalize both times and eked out a 2-2 draw. In the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/3/ vs /toy/|other Group F match]], [[/toy/]] would defeat [[/3/]] 2-0 to take a 2-point lead of the group. /tg/'s [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/tg/ vs /3/|next match]] was against [[/3/]]. Creed, once again, was mired in dreadful conditioning, but thanks to a cocaine binge Doomrider was in good form. Contributions from Creed, Doomrider, and Los Tiburon led /tg/ to an easy 3-0 win, and with [[/toy/]] [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/v/ vs /toy/|drawing]] against [[/v/]], /tg/ were now tied for the group lead. The last day of group play featured two pivotal match-ups: [[/v/]] vs [[/3/]] and /tg/ vs [[/toy/]]. Both /tg/ and [[/toy/]] had a tenuous grasp of a knockout round spot, but a win from [[/v/]] would force the two to duel for the right to advance. However, [[/3/]] shocked the 4chan footballing world with a [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/3/ vs /v/|2-1 victory]] over [[/v/]], sending /tg/ and [[/toy/]] through to the knockouts and [[/v/]] crashing down to the Babbies. With nothing but pride and a potential first-round bye on the line, the /tg/-[[/toy/]] game lost most of its meaning. [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/toy/ vs /tg/|Conditioning was not kind]] to /tg/, and despite an early 2-0 lead they could not overcome [[/toy/]], who won the game on a dramatic last-minute 3-2 goal. With that, the group stage was over, and /tg/ limped into the knockouts.
/tg/ was matched against [[/v/]] for the club's [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/tg/ vs /v/|first group fixture]]. The dynamic duo of Creed and Doomrider were off, and the side's offense struggled. [[/v/]] would pull ahead twice, but thanks to the efforts of Doomrider, /tg/ managed to equalize both times and eked out a 2-2 draw. /tg/'s [[2012 4chan Summer Cup Group F#/tg/ vs /3/|next match]] was against [[/3/]]. Contributions from Creed, Doomrider, and Los Tiburon led /tg/ to an easy 3-0 win over the Babby finalists, and with [[/toy/]] drawing against [[/v/]], /tg/ were now tied for the group lead. The last day of group play featured two pivotal match-ups: [[/v/]] vs [[/3/]] and /tg/ vs [[/toy/]]. Both /tg/ and [[/toy/]] had a tenuous grasp of a knockout round spot, but a win from [[/v/]] would force the two to duel for the right to advance. However, [[/3/]] shocked the 4chan footballing world with a victory over [[/v/]], sending /tg/ and [[/toy/]] through to the knockouts and [[/v/]] crashing down to the Babbies. With nothing but pride and a potential first-round bye on the line, the /tg/-[[/toy/]] game lost most of its meaning. No one told the players, however, and they staged one of the best games of the cup. /tg/ leapt to an early 2-0 lead, but they could not sustain it, as Madoka Titus capped the comeback with a last-minute goal. With that, the group stage was over, and /tg/ limped into the knockouts.  


The knockout stage began with controversy. In what would later become known as the [[4chan Cup Committee#2012 SC Bracket Scandal|Great Bracket Scandal]], Germanbro overruled the random PES brackets after complaints from a number of clubs, most notably [[/sp/]] and [[/m/]]. /tg/, who were due to face [[/co/]] in their first competitive match since the fabled Winter Cup preliminary final, were instead drawn against Founding brothers [[/jp/]], who they had bested in the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup]]. /tg/'s luck with conditioning [[2012 4chan Summer Cup knockout stage#/jp/ vs /tg/|improved]] just in time, giving Creed positive form for the first time of the tournament and Doomrider as red as the flames on his head. /jp/'s conditioning was not as favourable, but despite this Get Out of /jp/ earned the first goal of the match. Creed equalized before half, however, and following a dominant second half /tg/ walked from the pitch with a 3-1 win and a spot in the quarterfinals against powerhouse [[/m/]]. This time, the conditioning was not [[2012 4chan Summer Cup knockout stage#/m/ vs /tg/|in their favour]], with both Doomrider and Creed mired in negative conditioning. /tg/ fell behind 2-1 and failed to equalize in the final moments, cutting short their cup dreams. [[/m/]] would go on to place 3rd after losing to surprise Cinderella [[/int/]] in the semifinals. /tg/ would once again place 5th.

As the three whistles blew, the club watched their foes celebrate and left the tournament dejectedly. Expectations were met but not surpassed, and the players vowed to step up their training. [[/m/]] would go on to place 3rd after losing to surprise Cinderella [[/int/]] in the semifinals. /tg/ would once again finish 5th in the post-tournament rankings.  


===Fall 2012/Winter 2013===
===Fall 2012/Winter 2013===


After losing in the quarterfinals of the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]], fa/tg/uys were left to wonder what could have been for the rest of the summer. The club itself, however, was not idle, undergoing tumultuous changes as the staff attempted to hone the team's tactics for a better showing in the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup]]. Most notable of changes were the release of Transparent Orange Chainsaw, who was quickly snapped up on a free transfer by [[/toy/]].

Most notable of changes were the release of Transparent Orange Chainsaw, who was quickly snapped up on a free transfer by [[/toy/]].
 
/tg/ entered the [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies|friendly]] season ranked 7th, to play 3 games before they would sit back and watch the Babbies compete in the [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup]]. They started poorly, losing 2-0 to [[/x/]] and 2-1 to [[/d/]], but a 3-1 upset over Summer Cup champions [[/sp/]] salvaged some of the club's confidence. After an autumn break away from the game, /tg/ faced off against [[/co/]] in the first-ever [[FLGS Cup]]. They took the trophy decisively, winning all three games (though each was a nail biter). The event also marked the opening of the Alpha Complex, /tg/'s new football stadium. The club would carry its new-found momentum into its [[2013 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|friendly]] versus [[/h/]], taking it 3-2. They went into the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup]] on a five-game winning streak, as the #6 team in the rankings.
 
/tg/ were drawn into [[2013 4chan Winter Cup Group A|Group A]], to do battle with veteran clubs [[/jp/]] and [[/co/]], as well as the fresh-faced promoted [[/vp/]]. Playing in the lead-off cup game, /tg/ faced familiar foes [[/jp/]], and after technical difficulties caused an early restart, the Winter Cup got underway. The start was a dream one for /tg/, as they dominated the /jp/edos en route to a 3-0 victory, only surrendering one shot. Creed netted a hat trick, and the group was now /tg/'s to lose. Their next quickly sent them crashing back to reality, however. Rivals [[/co/]] were looking to take revenge for the FLGS Cup, and they thoroughly controlled /tg/ for the 90 minutes, eventually topping the fa/tg/uys 3-1. Now, going into the final matchday of the group stages, /tg/ were faced with what essentially was a must-win scenario. They were to face /vp/, who were struggling in the top flight, but [[Wardrobe Malfunction|history]] has shown them to be more than capable of trolling teams out of the knockouts. Fans went into the game with nerves abound, and left it shaking their heads as to why they were ever nervous. Despite an early tally from Miror B, /tg/ coasted to a comfortable 3-1 win. This gave them 6 points and first place in Group A.
 
The third and final weekend of the 2013 4chan Winter Cup dawned, and with the sunrise came /tg/ vs [[/pol/]] in the first fixture of the round of 16. Both teams found their offense in poor form and the game was a cagey affair, only 8 shots found between the two teams. /[[pol/]]'s finishing proved better than the Boyz as the duo of Stormfront and Doompaul both tallied, lifting the /pol/acks to a 2-0 win. [[/pol/]] would eventually finish 3rd, losing to eventual champions [[/sp/]]in the semifinals before beating [[/cm/]] in the third place match. It was the third cup in a row where /tg/ would be eliminated by the third place team, though it came earlier in the competition than in the previous two. Once again, the /tg/ Football Club dejectedly left the tournament before its finale. They solidified their [[Elite]] status but team members and fans alike felt they should have done better. The final tournament rankings would place them at #13, the lowest finish in club history.
 
===Spring/Summer 2013===
 
Doubts began to rise inside and outside the club. A pattern was beginning to form, of success mid-season only to suffer through defeat in the early knockout rounds. /tg/ had won every game they were supposed to, but stumbled when faced with a tough opponent. This would have to change if the club would ever realize its ultimate goal of a cup win.
 
/tg/ tweaked its roster after the 2013 Winter Cup, dropping longtime stalwart Do You Catan?, among others. Their [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup Friendlies|Spring season]] was a tame one, seeing the club top [[/d/]] 1-0 and draw [[/ic/]] 1-1. Once again they watched the [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Babbies]] from the background, and at the culmination of the season focused their efforts on building momentum for their run at the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup|2013 Summer Cup]]. The club was placed in their third invitational, the [[Tottoric Up]], and lived up to their reputation as invitational intimidators. They stormed past [[/d/]], [[/c/]], and [[/u/]] en route to first place and the prize of some cosmetic surgery vouchers. /tg/ brought their newfound energy into their first [[2013 4chan Summer Cup Friendlies|Summer friendly]], routing [[/tv/]] 5-2. It would all come to a crashing halt the next weekend as the club fell 0-3 to [[/v/]], their largest defeat in 4CC play. That dropped them to #18 on the rankings board, the club's lowest rank to date.
 
/tg/ went into the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup|Summer Cup]] hopeful to improve their dismal rank and break back into the highest echelons of 4chan e-soccer, but right from the start it was obvious it would be their most difficult Cup yet. Squeezed into Pot 3, /tg/ was drawn into the highly competitive [[2013 4cahan Summer Cup Group D|Group D]] alongside fellow [[Elite]] teams [[/int/]] and [[/fit/]] and recent upstarts [[/u/]] – a group that was guaranteed to see at least one Elite team fall to Babby status. The first match against [[/int/]] ended in a 2-2 draw after /tg/'s WAAAAAAGH! broke [[PES|the fabric of reality]] and the match had to be restarted.  Though they didn't score a win, the fa/tg/uys were still happy with a respectable performance against the second-highest ranked team at the time, not to mention a very entertaining match. But when the [[/u/]] match also ended in a draw, the Boyz in Blue were left in a desperate position if they wished to advance, especially as /int/ and /u/'s other games were both blow-outs of /fit/. The suspicious number of draws and one-sided games throughout the group stage led to a thorough investigation by the 4CCC culminating in [[2013_4chan_Summer_Cup#Data_Execution_Prevention_Controversy|a major change to how matches would be run]] for the rest of the tournament and putting /tg/ on very uncertain ground for their [[2013_4chan_Summer_Cup_Group_D#.2Ffit.2F_v_.2Ftg.2F|final game]] against (up to now) group punching-bag [[/fit/]]. Ultimately, Doomrider and Muscle Wizard playing off their game, a [[/fit/]] manager fighting to regain some bit of dignity for his team, and some good-old-fashioned bad luck all conspired to deny /tg/ the victory they so desperately needed and saw them out in the group stage. Despite high hopes for the tournament, /tg/ finished last in their group, 25th overall, and moved down to 28th place in the [[rankings]] (compared to 7th the same time last year). Worst of all /tg/ lost [[Elite]] status, although they found some solace in the fact that five other [[Elite]] teams also fell to the Babbies. Blame for the team's failure was quickly assigned to a combination of going up against the [[the third tallest team]] in a cup marred by accusations of [[2013_4chan_Summer_Cup#Height_Abuse|height abuse]], [[2013_4chan_Summer_Cup#Data_Execution_Prevention_Controversy|matches being more rigged than usual]], and possible collusion between Muscle Wizard and [[/fit/]] in the final match (though investigation by the Inquisition led to a rare acquittal on all charges of heresy). With the team in the worst position it has ever been and facing a [[Babby Cup]] for the first time, even /tg/'s normally indefatigable supporters looked to the future with a grim uncertainty as [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|autumn]] loomed close on the horizon.
 
===Autumn 2013===


/tg/ entered the friendly season ranked 7th, to play 3 games before they would sit back and watch the Babbies compete in the [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup]]. They started poorly, losing 2-0 to [[/x/]] and 2-1 to [[/d/]], but a 3-1 upset over Summer Cup champions [[/sp/]] salvaged some of the club's confidence. After an autumn break away from the game, /tg/ faced off against [[/co/]] in the first-ever [[FLGS Cup]]. They took the trophy decisively, winning all three games although each was a nail biter. The event also marked the opening of the Alpha Complex, /tg/'s new football stadium. The club would carry its new-found momentum into its [[2013 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|friendly]] versus [[/h/]], taking it 3-2. They now will go into the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup]] on a five-game winning streak, as the #6 team in the rankings.
The start to the autumn season saw things grow even more dire for /tg/ as the team lost both of their [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendles|friendlies]] against [[/toy/]] and [[/m/]]. Awful performance by players, non-existent management, and (most shocking for /tg/) incredibly boring gameplay put the team on poor footing as the draw for the [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|Babby Cup]] approached.  The team roster saw the retirement of veteran Half-Orc adventurer Kromgol, as well as the forceful retirement of [[/d/]] cross-boarder Whizzard and demotion of Muscle Wizard following their performance in the [[2013_4chan_Summer_Cup_Group_D#.2Ffit.2F_v_.2Ftg.2F|final match of the Summer cup]].  Their replacements were a mysterious and very dangerous random encounter called a "gazebo" or something, and artistic protégé Thin Your Paints.
 
The cup draw saw /tg/ placed alongside [[/sci/]], [[/cm/]], and [[Fifth Founding|newly formed]] [[/vr/]] in what was again considered the most difficult in [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Group H|group]] in the tournament.  An early hard-fought draw against [[/vr/]] brought back painful memories of [[2013 4chan Summer Cup Group D|last summer's disastrous group stage]], but ......

{{FormationBox
The /tg/ Football Club has run a variety of tactics and formations in its lifetime, but through them all it has retained a focus on offensive, enjoyable football. Creed and Doomrider have been the club's leading attackers for the entirety of its history. They have started every game /tg/ has played, and hold the top two spots in most offensive statistics. Many players have played in the primary supporting roles, including Nigramarines, Crazy Hassan, Muscle Wizard, Los Tiburon, Noh, and /tg/ Chess. Except for a brief time in the 2012 Summer Cup, the club has been captained by Nigramarines. The bulk of the goaltending duties was shouldered by Tankred until Autumn 2013, when his penchant for getting distracted by "bitches" led to the Emprah stepping up to the primary role. Recently, the club has displayed a willingness to rotate in fresh blood in an attempt to find a strong midfield and wing presence to support Creed and Doomrider.

'''The Brothers Derby - [[/sp/]] vs [[/tg/]]'''<br>
[[Image:Co_icon.png|25px |link=/co/]]''' [[/co/]] - FLGS Derby'''<br>
/sp/ and /tg/ are neighbors and bros 4 lyfe, so sparks fly whenever they meet on the pitch. This rivalry also holds the distinction of being /tg/'s first-ever friendly win.  
Bros outside the cup, these two clubs have met several times on the field of virtual dive-grass. Both born of the [[Second Founding]], their first match was a 5-5 thriller that [[/co/]] took in penalties that is widely considered to be the greatest game ever played. The [[FLGS Cup]] is held annually on the day the two teams first met to celebrate this rivalry. <br>/tg/ hold a 5-0-2 record against /co/ (0-0-2 in cups).  
 
 
'''GayminBowl - [[/v/]] vs [[/tg/]]'''<br>
Both boards lay claim to being the proper home of ascii games involving crazed stocky humanoids. You know that the beer and fists are going to be flying. This was the first match both /tg/ and /v/ played in the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup]], and /tg/ won 2-1 after Creed delivered a tactical free kick into /v/'s goal at 102'. /v/ was knocked into the Loser's bracket where they were instantly eliminated by [[/mu/]]. This match was the first game /tg/ and /v/ played in the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]], and resulted in a 2-2 tie. /v/ was later knocked out of the cup by  a loss to [[/3/]] and relegated to the Babby league, while /tg/ advanced.

'''FLGS Derby - [[/co/]] vs [[/tg/]]'''<br>
[[Image:Jp_icon.png|25px |link=/jp/]]''' [[/jp/]] - Touhou Games'''<br>
Both boards tend to have mutual interests but after two spectacular games in Winter 2012 the expectations are high for another re-match. This was supposed to be the first elimination match of the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup]], with both boards hoping for a friendly, fun game (no homo), but it was not to be, as the Knockout seeding was [[4chan Cup Committee#2012 SC Bracket Scandal|reshuffled]]. Due to [[/co/]]'s 2-0 loss against [[/n/]] in preliminaries, hopes for an FLGS Special final were dashed. The [[FLGS Cup]], an invitational held in Winter 2013, served as compensation for the lost match. /tg/ took the cup, winning three close games.
A rivalry forged in the fires of virtual divegrass, /tg/ played /jp/ in what was both teams' first match.  Since then, the two expansion cousins have met four times in three cups, and while /tg/ has taken each game, they have been close and /jp/ is hungry for revenge. <br>/tg/ hold a 4-0-0 record against /jp/ (4-0-0 in cups).

The /tg/ home field is Alpha Complex, located in the Wizard Tower District of /tg/. The first games played in the Alpha Complex were the first [[FLGS Cup]], with the home side taking all three games. Alpha Complex was then immediately closed for renovations, reopening during the 2013 Summer season.
<br>Rumours that /tg/ is cursed to draw any official match played in Alpha Complex are currently being investigated by top psykers.

/tg/ is the Second Founding team representing /tg/ in the 4chan Champion's Cup. The team's official colors are Ultramarine Blue (#0033FF) Mechanicus Rust (#CB762E) and Ceramite White (#FFF) for accents. Computation for /tg/ is provided by the Necrocomputer Deep Rot. Their home stadium is Alpha Complex.


Update:
Restored everything as best I could from the night before the hack; all that needs work is the club stats. I also updated history to include roster changes and the start of the 2013 Autumn Babby, added Saturday's game to the sidebar, and made minor changes throughout so please be careful if restoring from a pre-hacking version!

Club History

Founding

The first 4chan cup was a resounding success, garnering immense support from all corners of the imageboard. In the lead-up to the organization's second event, the 4chan Cup Committee decided to replace some of the smaller teams from uninterested boards. /tg/, eager to be a part of such an exciting spectacle, immediately began working on a bid as a potential expansion team. Spearheaded by the combined efforts of Alpha Complex and the Imperium of Man, the /tg/ bid would be accepted by the 4chan Cup Committee, with the board replacing /s/ (/s/ would later rejoin the 4CCC). /tg/ would be joined by /co/, /jp/, and /o/ in the Second Founding of 4CCC teams. The club was officially founded on December 31, 2011, chaired by Friend Computer of Alpha Complex.

/tg/'s initial roster creation was a long and exhaustive process, as the many minds of the board attempted to come to a consensus on the squad that would represent them. The process was not helped by the strict mods of /tg/, who would delete 4chan Cup threads on sight. Thankfully, the fa/tg/uys would not give up, and /tg/'s roster was completed in time for the 2012 4chan Winter Cup. Although it has undergone many changes since then, the first roster was the birth of many of the club's defining characteristics. The attacking duo of Creed and Doomrider, Tankred the dreadnought between the posts, the big black anchor Nigramarines, and many others all found their start here.

Winter 2012

/tg/ performed surprisingly well in the lead-up to the 2012 4chan Winter Cup. They defeated a number of powerhouse clubs in friendlies, including /sp/ and /a/. These friendlies also saw the birth of the club's first rivalry. /co/ and /tg/ would duel several times before the Winter Cup, culminating in a legendary match in the Winter Cup preliminaries that /co/ would win on penalties.

Just 6 days after the formation of the club, /tg/ was ready to compete in the 2012 4chan Winter Cup. The team was seeded #12 following the preliminaries, matched against /v/ in the first round. Thanks to a well-struck Creed penalty in extra time, /tg/ won 2-1 and were through into the second round. They would go no further in the winner's bracket, however, losing 4-2 to a dominant /k/ side (who would be the eventual champions) and falling into the loser's bracket. There they faced /jp/, with elimination on the line. /tg/ came through with a thoroughly-deserved 3-1 win, saving their cup hopes and sending founding brother /jp/ to a quick exit. Next, in the third round of the loser's bracket, they faced a surprising /b/ side that had defeated defending champions /a/ in the first round. Spurred on by an early own goal from My Body is Ready, /tg/ would trounce /b/ 3-0 and advance deeper into the tournament. In the fourth round of the loser's bracket they were matched against /ck/, one of the strongest teams of the era. An explosive first half led to a scoreless second and the game would go to penalties, where /ck/ took a 4-2 win. With that loss, /tg/ was eliminated from the Winter Cup. The club finished 5th, highest of the four Second Founding teams.

Spring/Summer 2012

The Winter Cup had sparked a new e-soccer passion for the denizens of /tg/. The club had a strong spring season following their first competition, cementing their 5th rank in the 4CCC Power Rankings and winning the unofficial Easter Cup. However, worries for the team's fate in the 2012 4chan Summer Cup began to arise. Many teams were beginning to sign managers, and yet with under 24 hours before the cup kickoff /tg/'s club still had key vacancies in its coaching staff. Finally, The DM !!4ejBZS7hAn9 signed on as assistant manager to Commissar John Fuklaw, and fa/tg/uys entered the Summer Cup with championship hopes. /tg/ was drawn into Group F, alongside /v/ and newcomers /3/ and /toy/. Initial impressions were worried: the /v/ club was no pushover, and both /3/ and /toy/ had excellent showings in the 2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup. Nonetheless, a berth into the knockout rounds was the bare minimum expectation.

/tg/ was matched against /v/ for the club's first group fixture. The dynamic duo of Creed and Doomrider were off, and the side's offense struggled. /v/ would pull ahead twice, but thanks to the efforts of Doomrider, /tg/ managed to equalize both times and eked out a 2-2 draw. /tg/'s next match was against /3/. Contributions from Creed, Doomrider, and Los Tiburon led /tg/ to an easy 3-0 win over the Babby finalists, and with /toy/ drawing against /v/, /tg/ were now tied for the group lead. The last day of group play featured two pivotal match-ups: /v/ vs /3/ and /tg/ vs /toy/. Both /tg/ and /toy/ had a tenuous grasp of a knockout round spot, but a win from /v/ would force the two to duel for the right to advance. However, /3/ shocked the 4chan footballing world with a victory over /v/, sending /tg/ and /toy/ through to the knockouts and /v/ crashing down to the Babbies. With nothing but pride and a potential first-round bye on the line, the /tg/-/toy/ game lost most of its meaning. No one told the players, however, and they staged one of the best games of the cup. /tg/ leapt to an early 2-0 lead, but they could not sustain it, as Madoka Titus capped the comeback with a last-minute goal. With that, the group stage was over, and /tg/ limped into the knockouts.

The knockout stage began with controversy. In what would later become known as the Great Bracket Scandal, Germanbro overruled the random PES brackets after complaints from a number of clubs, most notably /sp/ and /m/. /tg/, who were due to face /co/ in their first competitive match since the fabled Winter Cup preliminary final, were instead drawn against Founding brothers /jp/, who they had bested in the 2012 4chan Winter Cup. Get Out of /jp/ earned the first goal of the match, but Creed equalized before half, and his club followed up with a dominant second half. /tg/ walked from the pitch with a 3-1 win and a spot in the quarterfinals against powerhouse /m/. /tg/'s fortunes reversed as they got the ice-breaking goal against the /m/en, but fell behind 2-1 and failed to equalize in the final moments. As the three whistles blew, the club watched their foes celebrate and left the tournament dejectedly. Expectations were met but not surpassed, and the players vowed to step up their training. /m/ would go on to place 3rd after losing to surprise Cinderella /int/ in the semifinals. /tg/ would once again finish 5th in the post-tournament rankings.

Fall 2012/Winter 2013

After losing in the quarterfinals of the 2012 4chan Summer Cup, fa/tg/uys were left to wonder what could have been. The club itself, however, was not idle, undergoing tumultuous changes as the staff attempted to hone the team's tactics for a better showing in the 2013 4chan Winter Cup. Most notable of changes were the release of Transparent Orange Chainsaw, who was quickly snapped up on a free transfer by /toy/.

/tg/ entered the friendly season ranked 7th, to play 3 games before they would sit back and watch the Babbies compete in the 2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup. They started poorly, losing 2-0 to /x/ and 2-1 to /d/, but a 3-1 upset over Summer Cup champions /sp/ salvaged some of the club's confidence. After an autumn break away from the game, /tg/ faced off against /co/ in the first-ever FLGS Cup. They took the trophy decisively, winning all three games (though each was a nail biter). The event also marked the opening of the Alpha Complex, /tg/'s new football stadium. The club would carry its new-found momentum into its friendly versus /h/, taking it 3-2. They went into the 2013 4chan Winter Cup on a five-game winning streak, as the #6 team in the rankings.

/tg/ were drawn into Group A, to do battle with veteran clubs /jp/ and /co/, as well as the fresh-faced promoted /vp/. Playing in the lead-off cup game, /tg/ faced familiar foes /jp/, and after technical difficulties caused an early restart, the Winter Cup got underway. The start was a dream one for /tg/, as they dominated the /jp/edos en route to a 3-0 victory, only surrendering one shot. Creed netted a hat trick, and the group was now /tg/'s to lose. Their next quickly sent them crashing back to reality, however. Rivals /co/ were looking to take revenge for the FLGS Cup, and they thoroughly controlled /tg/ for the 90 minutes, eventually topping the fa/tg/uys 3-1. Now, going into the final matchday of the group stages, /tg/ were faced with what essentially was a must-win scenario. They were to face /vp/, who were struggling in the top flight, but history has shown them to be more than capable of trolling teams out of the knockouts. Fans went into the game with nerves abound, and left it shaking their heads as to why they were ever nervous. Despite an early tally from Miror B, /tg/ coasted to a comfortable 3-1 win. This gave them 6 points and first place in Group A.

The third and final weekend of the 2013 4chan Winter Cup dawned, and with the sunrise came /tg/ vs /pol/ in the first fixture of the round of 16. Both teams found their offense in poor form and the game was a cagey affair, only 8 shots found between the two teams. /pol/'s finishing proved better than the Boyz as the duo of Stormfront and Doompaul both tallied, lifting the /pol/acks to a 2-0 win. /pol/ would eventually finish 3rd, losing to eventual champions /sp/in the semifinals before beating /cm/ in the third place match. It was the third cup in a row where /tg/ would be eliminated by the third place team, though it came earlier in the competition than in the previous two. Once again, the /tg/ Football Club dejectedly left the tournament before its finale. They solidified their Elite status but team members and fans alike felt they should have done better. The final tournament rankings would place them at #13, the lowest finish in club history.

Spring/Summer 2013

Doubts began to rise inside and outside the club. A pattern was beginning to form, of success mid-season only to suffer through defeat in the early knockout rounds. /tg/ had won every game they were supposed to, but stumbled when faced with a tough opponent. This would have to change if the club would ever realize its ultimate goal of a cup win.

/tg/ tweaked its roster after the 2013 Winter Cup, dropping longtime stalwart Do You Catan?, among others. Their Spring season was a tame one, seeing the club top /d/ 1-0 and draw /ic/ 1-1. Once again they watched the Babbies from the background, and at the culmination of the season focused their efforts on building momentum for their run at the 2013 Summer Cup. The club was placed in their third invitational, the Tottoric Up, and lived up to their reputation as invitational intimidators. They stormed past /d/, /c/, and /u/ en route to first place and the prize of some cosmetic surgery vouchers. /tg/ brought their newfound energy into their first Summer friendly, routing /tv/ 5-2. It would all come to a crashing halt the next weekend as the club fell 0-3 to /v/, their largest defeat in 4CC play. That dropped them to #18 on the rankings board, the club's lowest rank to date.

/tg/ went into the Summer Cup hopeful to improve their dismal rank and break back into the highest echelons of 4chan e-soccer, but right from the start it was obvious it would be their most difficult Cup yet. Squeezed into Pot 3, /tg/ was drawn into the highly competitive Group D alongside fellow Elite teams /int/ and /fit/ and recent upstarts /u/ – a group that was guaranteed to see at least one Elite team fall to Babby status. The first match against /int/ ended in a 2-2 draw after /tg/'s WAAAAAAGH! broke the fabric of reality and the match had to be restarted. Though they didn't score a win, the fa/tg/uys were still happy with a respectable performance against the second-highest ranked team at the time, not to mention a very entertaining match. But when the /u/ match also ended in a draw, the Boyz in Blue were left in a desperate position if they wished to advance, especially as /int/ and /u/'s other games were both blow-outs of /fit/. The suspicious number of draws and one-sided games throughout the group stage led to a thorough investigation by the 4CCC culminating in a major change to how matches would be run for the rest of the tournament and putting /tg/ on very uncertain ground for their final game against (up to now) group punching-bag /fit/. Ultimately, Doomrider and Muscle Wizard playing off their game, a /fit/ manager fighting to regain some bit of dignity for his team, and some good-old-fashioned bad luck all conspired to deny /tg/ the victory they so desperately needed and saw them out in the group stage. Despite high hopes for the tournament, /tg/ finished last in their group, 25th overall, and moved down to 28th place in the rankings (compared to 7th the same time last year). Worst of all /tg/ lost Elite status, although they found some solace in the fact that five other Elite teams also fell to the Babbies. Blame for the team's failure was quickly assigned to a combination of going up against the the third tallest team in a cup marred by accusations of height abuse, matches being more rigged than usual, and possible collusion between Muscle Wizard and /fit/ in the final match (though investigation by the Inquisition led to a rare acquittal on all charges of heresy). With the team in the worst position it has ever been and facing a Babby Cup for the first time, even /tg/'s normally indefatigable supporters looked to the future with a grim uncertainty as autumn loomed close on the horizon.

Autumn 2013

The start to the autumn season saw things grow even more dire for /tg/ as the team lost both of their friendlies against /toy/ and /m/. Awful performance by players, non-existent management, and (most shocking for /tg/) incredibly boring gameplay put the team on poor footing as the draw for the Babby Cup approached. The team roster saw the retirement of veteran Half-Orc adventurer Kromgol, as well as the forceful retirement of /d/ cross-boarder Whizzard and demotion of Muscle Wizard following their performance in the final match of the Summer cup. Their replacements were a mysterious and very dangerous random encounter called a "gazebo" or something, and artistic protégé Thin Your Paints.

The cup draw saw /tg/ placed alongside /sci/, /cm/, and newly formed /vr/ in what was again considered the most difficult in group in the tournament. An early hard-fought draw against /vr/ brought back painful memories of last summer's disastrous group stage, but ......

Tactics & Playstyle

The /tg/ Football Club has run a variety of tactics and formations in its lifetime, but through them all it has retained a focus on offensive, enjoyable football. Creed and Doomrider have been the club's leading attackers for the entirety of its history. They have started every game /tg/ has played, and hold the top two spots in most offensive statistics. Many players have played in the primary supporting roles, including Nigramarines, Crazy Hassan, Muscle Wizard, Los Tiburon, Noh, and /tg/ Chess. Except for a brief time in the 2012 Summer Cup, the club has been captained by Nigramarines. The bulk of the goaltending duties was shouldered by Tankred until Autumn 2013, when his penchant for getting distracted by "bitches" led to the Emprah stepping up to the primary role. Recently, the club has displayed a willingness to rotate in fresh blood in an attempt to find a strong midfield and wing presence to support Creed and Doomrider.

Rivalries

Co icon.png /co/ - FLGS Derby
Bros outside the cup, these two clubs have met several times on the field of virtual dive-grass. Both born of the Second Founding, their first match was a 5-5 thriller that /co/ took in penalties that is widely considered to be the greatest game ever played. The FLGS Cup is held annually on the day the two teams first met to celebrate this rivalry.
/tg/ hold a 5-0-2 record against /co/ (0-0-2 in cups).


Jp icon.png /jp/ - Touhou Games
A rivalry forged in the fires of virtual divegrass, /tg/ played /jp/ in what was both teams' first match. Since then, the two expansion cousins have met four times in three cups, and while /tg/ has taken each game, they have been close and /jp/ is hungry for revenge.
/tg/ hold a 4-0-0 record against /jp/ (4-0-0 in cups).

Stadium

The /tg/ home field is Alpha Complex, located in the Wizard Tower District of /tg/. The first games played in the Alpha Complex were the first FLGS Cup, with the home side taking all three games. Alpha Complex was then immediately closed for renovations, reopening during the 2013 Summer season.
Rumours that /tg/ is cursed to draw any official match played in Alpha Complex are currently being investigated by top psykers.

  • The north stand, proudly traitor-free since 2013.

  • The northeast corner, home of the club's calmest and most level-headed supporters.

  • The stadium's east end, featuring the Wall of Noize and the local architecture.

  • The players' benches and the south stand. Not pictured is a small pocket of traitors mid-execution.

  • The west end, where the club's largest supporters catch the game.
