It's ya boi No Face here, you might remember me from such classics as the 6 point Cairo season or not getting BI out the WSFC group

Well anyways I have some exciting updates regarding the charity drive... like the title says this is subject to change and nothing is 100% set in stone but I'm not anticipating any changes

~~~~~

So firstly I'd like to let you all know what charity we will be donating to, me and the BoD got together and wanted something that makes a difference all over the world, and for that reasons we went for Doctors Without Borders

You might already know them if you've every watched AGDQ but they are a non profit charity supporting the world medically wherever they are needed, they do absolutely amazing work and I'm super happy we have chosen them

~~~~~~~

So now for the nitty gritty

The plan as it stands is a three pronged attack on the sense

~~~~~

1) Player led auction where you guys and myself can donate items or things of your choosing, whether it be rap songs, steam keys, signatures, anything you can think of, we are planning top start the auction on the 27th of November and wrap it up on the 12th of December, AFAIK our fional plan is to offer 4 manager spots for the 2 custom games we have planned so you can chose whatever starting 11 you like, your seasons all stars, all your friends, oops all GKs, feel free to get creative

~~~~~

2) Raffle... now hopefully I don't have to explain how a raffle works but we are planning to have some really fun things planned, some SSL dollarbucks, a cheeky little games bundle donated by the amazing Ginger and maybe also a little birdie told me some limited edition stickers to co incide with the new sticker set up coming soon™

~~~~~

3) Milestones, again some fun things planned here, Money, maybe even TPE if i can twist BoDs arm, X2 media and maybe even a Commissioner tells all podcast for you lucky little munchkins

~~~~~

As always any thoughts or questions reach out, and super excited to see how it all goes!

What many will be wondering is how this off-season has shaped their team, will their moves have taken them to a new level or will they have in fact regressed into obscurity? Has their moves solidified a locker room to fight in the same direction or divided it causing untold pain towards morale? Will they prove to be the underdog of the league, defying all odds and going on a triumphant run towards league glory or even managing to lift the cup? Will they crumble, despite being favourites for the title and end up being the laughing stock of the league? Or will they harmlessly drift towards the end of the season, knowing their squad needs an overhaul and a killer edge via next years draft?

Plenty of questions remain and can only be answered as the season unfolds before our very eyes. Twists and turns are guaranteed but success only arrives for very few. Lets hope it's your team that is holding aloft that trophy!]]>

Bergmann: Well, let me start by saying I liked what we showed, although we lost. Score could have been closer. With Vincent and Domingo moving up into the Majors, we lost two key pieces upfront and in the net. Both important positions, which are hard to replace. In terms of the new guys moving up from the academy, we have been chatting a bit and so far they have integrated really well. I am looking forward to see what they will be able to do in the upcoming season.

Interviewer: You skipped right over the expectations for the upcoming season. Was that intentional on your end?

Bergmann: Right, not intentional, although I have to admit, it will be a though season. The goal is to give it all we have and hopefully avoid relegation, but our team is a bit weaker then last season and the competition once again is going to be fierce. However I am really looking forward to see what the lads back home in Germany at SFV are able to achieve this season. Hopefully next year both teams of the Organization play Division 1 football.

Interviewer: We'll be looking forward to hear from you after your second friendly. Best of luck with your season!

Bergmann: Thank you.]]>

Finally some good football again. I think it is going to be a stressfull season on one hand but maybe more relaxed on the other. USP is no longer the crowd favorites to win the title for what feels like forever. We usually did not win it when we were favorites though so maybe its a good thing!

Paris is still for sure the favorites however at this point it is no longer a big difference. Other teams are catching up, Paris is getting older. I think its going to be a good GOOD season.

However some pressure is removed too, and while USP has ofcourse long lost the underdog status, there is something in the org that likes not being the favorite.

The friendlies so far have been a mixed bag, a loss against Shanghai and a narrow win against AC Romana for USP and for Paris it is only a win against Cairo so far. Really surprised by how strong Cairo is seemingly out of nowhere. I think they will finish above a lot of current D1 teams this season, which just goes to show that the level of competition even in D2 has risen dramatically.

Exciting times!]]>

Festive season approaching...

While everyone is rushing to the store to buy their preparations and decorations for Christmas and New Year, The SSL doors are met with a glacial silence...

Rather unusual, to be honest, as everyone expects more activity. The organizations are preparing for the new season, the players are buzzing in impatience, and with the World Simulation Football Classic approaching, regional managers are suffering headaches when making their selection...

I caught myself walking around at my new settlement in Italy, wondering if I could go for a tour at Maranello, and get a souvenir from the oldest F1 racing team in existence. I was still checking my phone from time to time to see if there was any activity on the SSL Union giant Discord server.

It was still unusually peaceful, which meant two things : either everybody is busy, which would make sense as I mentioned earlier ; or I woke up too early again. To confirm the latter I decided to take a walk to Il Colosseo and Romana's training grounds. A playlist in my ears, clean air in front of me, and I was gone...

***

When I arrived at the facility they were almost done with the grass, and indeed I was too early, like two or three hours early. So with the remaining time I... got my training jacket and trousers up and slept on the grass. I started laying on my back and watching the sky, and before long I ended up sleeping on the side, using one of the balls as headrest. I smoothly got back up, took a warm shower and then I was heading to the cafetaria.

"Maybe there will be more activity around 10am, or even at 12pm", I was thinking.

I have no proper way to end this piece, so bye and I'll see you on the next one.

He shuts the curtains again, and sighs as he can still see the neds through a tear in the fabric. One of them spots him and gives him the finger. “Robert Nazário de Lima de Assis Moreira dos Santos Edson Arantes do Nascimento McGlinchey! Ah’ll no tell ye again! Yur Coco Pops are oan the table!” His mum shouts through the wall to him, her Brazilian accent long replaced by the distinctive Glesga twang. He saunters through, stopping and stooping briefly in front of the dirty full length mirror in the hall to check his hair was still immaculately coiffed and scratches at stubble he vainly hoped would one day become an actual beard. He ducks as he enters the kitchen and slumps into a chair that creaks under his weight, taking a mouthful of cereal as he watches his dad, in an equally drunken state to the jakey outside, kick and hit the fridge while shouting “The cash machine isnae workin!”

“Huv ye thought aboot yur offers then son?”, his mum asks, ignoring the antics of her husband. He’d had a few youth contract offers sent in the last week, one each from the blue and green teams that dominated and divided the city. While every room in the house contained his dad’s memorabilia for the former team, Rab had his doubts about signing for either of them.

“Ah’m no fussed, Mum. I cannae be bothered wi the bother ah’ll get – ah’ll be jumped soon as ah step oot the door tae go tae trainin. This place is a goldfish bowl.” He was quite sure his dad would have had something to say on the matter – had he not been curled up on the floor, hugging the vacuum cleaner in a semi-conscious stupor.

“It’s just an aw then that there’s another envelope in the post this mornin, somewhere called Accra. Is that in Fife? Ye’ve got family oan yer dad’s side in Fife.” Rab’s eyebrows raised. He didn’t know where Accra was either, but he knew it wasn’t in Fife. His mum passed him the envelope and he clocked the ‘Ghana’ post mark. Africa? He opened it up and began reading, quietly skimming the page, and then doing so a second time. New city? New country? New life? And a start in football, outside Glasgow?

He picked up the letter and his mobile, retreated to his room, and dialled the number at the top of the letter.]]>
