its been an epic season for me this year as ive got a great shot at winning all three leagues im in.Alaves have exceeded all expectations for me this season, before the season began i was hoping we could maybe fight for a champions league spot but after we lost 3 out of our first 4 games i thought we might be in another relegation battle. somehow we've managed to go on an insane run by winning 23 out of 28 games with only one defeat. big game at home to Compostela at the weekend, if we draw that then we're essentially champions. im expecting a couple of retirements at the end of the season in key areas so this will be our only shot for a few yearsalso had a big comeback season for Capelle after a poor campaign last year, even though were in poor form at the moment im hoping we can manage to hold on to the top spot. i'll be selling them in a couple of years so another league title or two before then would be nice.Gent is Gent when it comes to the domestic league, we'll be judged by our performance in europe. hoping we can finally break our duck this year, although im not sure i could take losing ANOTHER european final lol
In terms of my successes this season, we're looking a bit thin on the ground. My French experiment is failing fast, Buxton never seem to hold a top six position for long and Caldas are now perennial bridesmaids to the annoyingly-consistent Peniche (why oh why do I have to have two leagues with Mario teams?!). But we have two high spots:Caldas have made the UCL semi and are playing well at the moment, and Lille have made the final of the French cup. I have yet to win anything with Lille and Caldas haven't made a major final in years, so excited for both of those.
This will be my last season with San Jose Earthquakes as I'll be selling up and testing the new Mexican league starting next season. Top of the MLS Western conference tight with the player-controlled teams occupying the top spots.

Looking forward to our semi final second leg with you later on. Could go either way frankly!

Could go either way frankly! hard luck mate, you were 100% the better team over two legs. luckily for me my keeper decided to step up otherwise you would have won by 3-4 goals on agg!
Congrats!Just a reminder, the winners of the champions league and concacaf will face off in the new world club championship assuming it works. Unlike real life where they somehow squeeze it in in January, the mini tournament will take place in July.

Darlington will be in the QFs as hosts but your team should be from the SFs
