We finally did it. After an abysmal start to the year, the Golden Lions of Joburg have taken down Independencia and have firmly claimed the top spot in the table. We can't celebrate for long, as the season is not over yet and we have to journey north to take on our greatest foe in Eye of the Sun for the Golden Derby. They're just 2 games out from our top spot, so it will not be an easy game for either side as we try to sweep them this year. D Sergio Reguilon has stepped up due to injuries in our defensive line, having his best game since being promoted to the starting job. Reguilon produced a key pass and an assist, as well as 2 tackles won and 2 interceptions on the defensive side. #StayGold

After we once again beat Joburg (we scored fewer points, but we're claiming a win), we head from Africa to Asia, as we go to Tokyo to face FC Tokyo Sakura. We're holding steady in a playoff spot, but could really use a break in this two game losing streak. This week we're going to wear the main kits, and we're featuring Argentinian defenseman, Cristian Romero! #TheGoldStandard

For the third time this year, we have beaten Eye of the Sun (they're just upset we came from behind to win when they wanted to tie) and increased our lead at the top of the table. We hit the road north across the Mediterranean in a relatively weird week to take on Alfa Roma. They're near the bottom of the table, so they're hoping that they can take 3 points away from us, so we'll need to fight for every inch. Featured for this week is lightning-quick F Chie Ogbene, who scored the game-winning goal last week to put us over the top in the Golden Derby. #StayGold

Hey, we're coming off a win prior to the international break, and so we're going to come back to it and head to Rome to take on FC Alfa Roma. We're going to head into Italy and look to knock out another big win in the final stretches of the season. We'll be in the clash kits for this one, and we're featuring Willian in this one. #TheGoldStandard

We needed that international break after a fairly embarrassing lost at the hands of Alfa Roma. It's the last final few matches of the season, and we'll need to remain in top form to stay at the top. We travel across the Mediterranean Sea to take on Istanbul, who are on the outside looking on and need a win to stay alive on the season. Unlike the last match we played, we're going to make this a competitive match. Leading the way back into the remaining weeks is M James Ward-Prowse, who made the most of the little time he played last week, getting a key pass, a clearance, and an accurate cross. We'll be in the clash kits for just the 4th time this year for an intercontinental clash. #StayGold
