GORGE FC over Firefighters FC
I don't know much about Gorge but I do know that the Firemen are not capable of going another step further in the province cup. I've seen about 4 firemen games this year and everytime I watched them they haven't really proved to me that they are a team capable of winning on a weekly basis. However, this is the semi-finals and it is WIN OR GO HOME time but I just don't see the firemen in the finals, so Gorge has this one.
COLUMBUS/CLAN FC over Sapperton Rovers
Too bad these two teams can't play here in the mainland so that the regular VMSL fans can watch the two Group B teams going at it for the final two spots at nationals. I know both teams quite well in terms of their style. Sapperton leads the all time series by beating Columbus twice in the season this year by knocking them 4-2 early on and 2-1 in the last game of the seasson. But don't let that fool you, Columbus is a much better team and I can't remember the last time they lost...oh wait, it was the Sapperton game! Columbus is on a 7 or 8 game winning streak...congratulations!, I'm rooting for you! this streak will not come to an end. Columbus will win!!!
ps. Congratulations to GINO GAITA of Columbus/Clan FC for scoring his first goal of the year in about 22 games as he is one of their forwards!!! The team played about 27 games including league, imperial, the province cup and also a few exhibitions this season. Of those games, Gino Gaita has missed about 5 due to an injury he suffered in the first imperial cup game. Scoring 1 goal all season shows that GINO GAITA deserves more time on the pitch as opposed to his half a games. What about the celebration when Gino scored that only tap in goal of the year against Inter!!!, his brother was so excited for him that he ran a full sprint from his 18 yard box he was sweeping to the other teams goal line to hug and embrace his brother! that was too funny! The entire Inter sideline was in tears laughing albeit they were down 2-0. Besides Gino Gaita's offensive prowlness and his hunger to score goals (laughing as I type) Columbus/Clan will win the nationals!!!...GO GAITA GO!!!.....score me another!!!
I think Gino Gaita is my new favorite player in the VMSL, his celebration was just too much for me not to like him!
pss. I just farted.

I have to say though, trying not to take anything away from the final two contestants, but if I were to do 20 provincial cup pools I can honestly say I never would have had these two playing each other in the final, though to Sapperton’s credit they were only a PK or two from being here last year.
you will find out saturdaywhataboutbob said:SU 0 - Firemen 1
I take it that the fortunate bounces and luck that SU had most of the year finally caught up to them?
Are Firemen this year's Sporting?
Cory launched the pass back to him from his own 12 yard line, 30 yards high and some 65 yards long. (The wind was gusting at times hard enough that it snapped our canopy in two as it was ripped out of the ground.) Luca came out to about his 14 yard line to catch the ball on the one-hop from about the 28 yard line. The ball hit the ground and took off about 15 yards in the air and 28 yards long and over Luca. He scrambled to get back to catch it but the ball hit the under part of the cross bar as it was coming down, bounced a couple of yards over the goal line, and back up into the roof of the net.dudelove said:What happened to Clanbus last week. I am trying to imagine how Sapp's keeper scored the goal. How windy was it???Must have been a hurricane for him to score against Luca.
