Summary
Matchday 1
/mu/ and /toy/ both performed well in the Winter Cup, but /toy/'s performance was not what people had come to expect from the team. Hopefully Woody gets the touch back before /toy/'s next game.
Konata's goal at 34' looked like it might set the tone for the game, but the 2spooky4me antics of /x/, led in their arcane rituals by Pyramid Head, led to a complete and total upset in the second half of the game along with a bevy of technical failures. If /x/ can keep cursing their opponents, they might just make it past the two powerhouse teams of Group A, /toy/ and /mu/.
Matchday 2
Still exhausted from their paranormal antics on the previous matchday, and with their managers inexplicably vanishing, speculation was rife that /x/ would be steamrolled by /toy/. However, clearly the touch was missing as team aces Woody and Madoka Titus fumbled one drive after another, and the /x/'s undead team scored a single goal that led the entire game. An amazing last-minute injury time goal by Woody kept /toy/ in contention in Group A, but with rumors of /toy/ manager TinkerToy's burn-out and desire to throw the match, one wonders if they'll even try against group loser /c/.
The first blowout of the matchday was not a disappointment, with a hyper-aggressive /c/ dominating the second half of the game in shots and drives. They were nonetheless unable to overcome the two-point lead taken by /mu/ in the first half, thanks to /mu/ goalkeeper Merzbow, and so the cup had its first team locked into the Round of 16 and the first team to be relegated to the Autumn Babbies.
Matchday 3
Seeking to deny /toy/ a place in the Knockout Stage, /mu/ manager Snorlax decided to leave his team unrigged as they entered the pitch to face dead team /x/. He failed spectacularly in that respect as Jeff Mangum and MC Ride demolished /x/ even with full-zero sliders in a pure shotfest. /x/ did compete in shots, albeit off-target and missed, but /mu/ was simply too strong to lose to a dead team. Still, /x/ did not blow out completely, as Pyramid Head proved himself to still be a dangerous rapist with a solo goal against /mu/.
The most-anticipated game of the group, this match tainted the rest of the day. An attempt to throw the game and ruin /toy/'s chances of advancing by the team's manager ended with an empty draw. Absolutely worthless team /c/, who lost to dead /x/ last week, was unable to score despite /toy/'s attempted suicide by poor conditions, out of position players (led by AMF Kinder Eggs being placed in goal), and absolute wish by manager Tinker/toy/ for /toy/ to not take advantage of /toy/'s one chance to advance into the knockouts and turn it's cup disappointment around.
