2018-19: UEFA Champions League

I recently acquired a set of teams for APBA Soccer for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.  Instead of replaying the actual schedule, I decided to have an alternate draw for the Round of 16.

Borussia Dortmund v. Roma

 

Barcelona v. Schalke 04

 

Paris-Saint Germain v. Athletico Madrid

 

Porto v. Liverpool

 

Bayern Munich v. Tottenham Hotspur

 

Manchester City v. Lyon

 

Real Madrid v. Ajax

 

Juventus v. Manchester United

Not sure when I’ll start this one, but the match ups should be interesting.

Stay tuned!

4+ Hours

That’s how long it took to cut and sort the Net Results Soccer Champions League card set, and I’m probably only going to use half of the teams.

I’m beginning to think that this and Soccer Blast may be my two primary soccer games that I play.

No knock on either The Beautiful Game or Final Score, I just feel individual player cards are better than a full team card, which both TBG and FS use.

And I felt game play in NR and SB was more engaging, to be honest.

I may need to play a few more matches in each game to determine which replay I really want to do.

Stay tuned!

Soccer

I’ve been trying to get myself to start a soccer replay for at least the last 5-6 years, but I could never decide which league I should play, or which team within a league.

And then I saw that Net Results Soccer offers the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League, which included THREE teams (Spurs, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich) that I root for in different leagues (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga).

So I’m going to play the Round of 16 to the Finals, or Knockout Phase, which by my count is 29 matches.

I just have to figure out the rules about aggregate scores and stuff like that.

Stay tuned!
