Alternate History Sports / AltLiga Season 2024-25

**Posted by Dan O'Mac** 11/22/2024 10:05 am

We're coming out of the break after a win over Club de Ragatas do Independencia, and are looking for win number 9 as we welcome Sydney Harbour FC to the Pyramid. We're fighting for the top spot on the table, just one point back on Sydney Harbour FC. Which is convenient, since we're facing them this week. We're going to be in the main kits, since, you know, we're at home, and are highlighting goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, who has ascended into the top keeper spot on the team this season through his strong play. #TheGoldStandard

Atlético couldn't quite get it done against Inter, falling back below .500 but staying in the eight spot in the table thanks to other results around the league falling our way. In order to stay in the playoff picture this week, we'll definitely need to win, because our opponent, Joburg City 94, is right on our tail in the standings - and I do mean right on our tail, as we have the same number of points, and almost the same exact points for and points against as well. As usual, we're sporting maroon at Camp Vell, and showing them off is D Murillo, who was all over the pitch, scoring a goal and earning a whopping 9 clearances in the defensive end.

We lost... wait hold on stat corrects
We ti... actually no there's more stat corrections
We won against Amsterdam by the slimmest of margins, putting us a game under .500 after our typical atrocious start. The good news is the position where we're at is just within a game of the playoffs, so within things going our way we could be in the playoff picture. The team we're facing this week is also in that picture, as we're heading to Barcelona to take on Atlético. Featured for this week is M Martin Ødegaard, who returned to action last week after missing the last two months and made his return count, scoring an assist and 4 key passes to nudge our offense over the line.

Well, the due date was 10 days ago, and we got only one submission, so here's the logo for the 2024 GEO Cup!

wow what a cool logo. I bet the person who designed it is similarly cool, and also extremely attractive as well

With a late game collapse, we took the loss to Sydney Harbour FC. Not at all what we were looking for. But now, we get back at it, as we head to Rome to take on FC Alfa Roma. They're looking to climb back into the playoff picture as we close out the first half, so we need to shut that down. We'll be in our white and black main kits for this one, and are featuring star player Bukayo Saka. #TheGoldStandard

It sure looked pretty dire at points, but Atlético rallied to score a huge comeback win over Joburg City. With that win, we ... remain in eighth place in the table, just like we have the last two weeks. Fortunately, we have a lot more chance at upward momentum this week, as our opponent, Olympique de Bastille, sits three points above us, as do a couple of other teams. We'll hope to head into the Geo Cup break with another strong performance, and to that end, we're highlighting M Ryan Gravenberch. The Dutchman compiled two interceptions and three key passes, one of which was an assist on the Tomáš Souček game-winner.

The match was a close one, but Atlético showed up late to eek out the win against us. Oh well, it doesn't matter, we have one last week ahead of us before the Geo Cup begins. It's a home match (and also our first game against one another) against Bukchon Hanok Stripes. They're doing alright in their first season, but we'll want to close out the first half right. Featured for this week is D Kenny Tete, who filled in nicely in a pinch for an assist and 3 clearances.

Welcome to the GEO Cup 2024-25! With a guaranteed playoff spot on the line, the next seven weeks of pool play will be vital to earning your spot in the finals of the GEO Cup! We're split with the European Pool and World Pool. Since each pool has 7 teams, one of the weeks of pool play will allow you to play in the Global Series, with each game being a "World" team facing a "European" team at a neutral site. The first pool to get 4 wins in the Global Series will determine who hosts the GEO Cup Finals! Without further adieu, here's the week 1 matchups!

The Falcons pick up a big win to close out the first half of the season with a win over FC Alfa Roma keeps us in a good spot in the table. With the next 8 games not counting toward the final table, we'll look to run through the GEO Cup and punch our playoff ticket early. We have a short week as we head into the opening of the GEO Cup, as we start by welcoming Club de Ragatas do Independencia to The Pyramid. We're at home, so will be in the main kits for this one. Our featured player will be forward Jørgen Strand Larsen, who has been one of our best players on the season. #TheGoldStandard
