Well, sleep, a training session for a job I'm doing on the weekend, and various annoyances on the dial-up have delayed this quite a bit but I'm determined to get this up before I hit the hay.
PRE-GAME NEWS
Here is where we are in the World Rankings after the Israel game.
How's Ethiopia that high? Their team is pretty much starving children! Match 8: La Vella vs. Laval
Finally, we arrive back home in Andorra, but the matches don't get any easier as we faceoff against recently relegated Laval. Who will win in this battle of the LAVs?
11' - Well, that is a good start. Off a big save by Brookes, its worked from O'Gol to Viz-ee to Carrington to Andrews who crossed it in for Alejandro Anilez, who plinked it in off the post, giving the Vellans the early lead and giving a post maker a new job.

Alejandro Anilez 11'
34' - Sigh. Chance after chance repelled only for that to happen. Hong Pong Dong's clearance is tapped forward by Rémi Gomis for Tunisian import Fahid Ben Kalfallah who blasted a shot that even Spiderman couldn't retrieve, let alone Brookes. Unless he was like Mr. Fantastic maybe, or something like that............ Anyways, it's all tied up heading into the break.

64' - Yikes. Apparently not satisfied with putting through balls, Gomis has taking to putting out players, doing just that to winger Alejandro Anilez. Great. I wish one of their players had to get off the field.......

70' - Well, look at that! You would have thought I'd seen this coming! With no Anilez to harass, captain Mickael Buzaré turned his attention to striker Luke Swinson, but with a yellow from his early job on the ex-Peruvian, Buzaré should have been a lot more careful. He picked up his second yellow earning himself the boot. Maybe we can use this to our advantage?

73' - Well what do you know? Not three mintues after Buzaré's expulsion, O'Gol sent it forward for Scala, who in turn nodded it on for the man who got Laval down to 10 men, Luke Swinson, who blasted a curling shot past Arnaud Balijon to give La Vella a win in their homecoming and to heap more misery on Laval's season, as you will see below.
