**Bob & Jim FUMBBL CUP Review**

Jim: Good morning Blood Bowl fans! Rnd 7 is running!
Bob: Absolutely, Jim. Let's have a look at coaches after match comments.
Jim: All right Bob. There we go!

Les Vent-Marcheurs (Chaos) 2 vs 0 Dr Suess (Orc)

Les Vent-Marcheurs coach comments:
Great orcs were playing tonight. I feared the ST5 and the ST4 AG4 blitzers, and all the guards, and the great troll, and the fast thrower. These orcs are pretty brutal, but maybe not brutal enough in this match.
Spinball chose to buy 2 new linemen (named by his children) for the match. It gave me choice about the inducements, and I chose to take a wizard. Babes or an extra apoth would have been nice too, but I like the wiz.
I receive in first half. The orc LoS stands hard, but the JU troll is surviving. Big problem. I have to move forward to protect the ball. I have 3 guys out in few turns, whom my AG4 cpomber who was killed but saved by the apo.
The nice and strong blitzers come back to steal the ball, but they fail, and my frenzy cpomber (he drank my healing potion before the match) starts being effective. 4 cas in the half, before being sent off.
Orcs use well their DP's, but Golgoth cannot die, and ref saw the foul against him.
I finally score with Dada, she becomes the 5th active legend of the team, proudly leading the CW's to the semi-final.
1-0 before the second half.
KO rolls are crucial: 1/2 for me (still a lino out) but 0/3 for Orcs! I start the half with 11 players against 7!
Orcs cannot hide the ball. The thrower came early at the middle of the pitch but was blitzed to death by the CW who was killed in first half. Another turn and the wiz are needed to steal the ball, Calcium catches it and runs to the endzone. The ST5 blitzer tries to catch him, but Dada finally scores the 2nd TD.
2-0 at the end.
At last my Cpombers fight hard again! Just in time, because those orcs were terrible! Some luck on my side, with the KO rolls and the cas. Spinball played well, maybe too greedy in first half, trying to foul my CW's instead of stopping Dada from scoring. But my versatile Chaos found the way to score and survive. I'm glad I've used my potion on Sov, he made a difference in this match.
Thanks for the match Spinball, it was nice to see your orcs in the 7th round. You defeated great chaos in the latest rounds, and other great opponents. Nice run!
Yeah my Cpombers will die, but not today! Razz
And thanks to JimmyFantastic for being a good "lucky charm", so far!

Dr Suess coach comments:
Potion used before the match by Les Vent-Marcheurs on Sov Strochnis XI, as he got 4 cas I think it was well used.
Losing the toss decided this one, that and a good appoth turn 1 for Les Vent-Marcheurs that turned a killed into a badly hurt.
The orcs were too gentile all game, hurting players but only BH them the rest of the way, and not soon enough to make a difference.
We fouled the claw pombers as much as possible, trying to rid the world of the abominations but to no avail.
Good luck Khor_Varik, but I hope all your chaos warriors die horrible deaths the rest of the tourney

Les Vent-Marcheurs (Chaos) 1 vs 0 Slime Barons (Nurgle)

Les Vent-Marcheurs coach comments:
This was the toughest match up we could have dreamed of. Nurgles are the best roster against us. I had 10 days to be prepared to fight them, and I used this time well.
At start I said: "Let's have a memorable match!" Hope specs enjoyed this bloody and fast match.
First half we receive. Duke didn't have his usual setup, spread and with his best warriors exposed, maybe he tried to perturb my attack? And fans were so intoxicated that they came on the pitch while the nurgle was kicking. I had some cpombers down, but I had a chance to attack on the side. I built a spread but dense cage, with my guards keeping my cpombers alive. Almost every cpombers, but Sov fell into the claws of a nurgle. The apo tried everything possible to heal him, but he may miss the next match (Duke smartly said at the end of the match that I still had a potion. I thought about it during my preparation).
Duke logically didn't use his wiz, he surely will need it in second half or in overtime. I stall to try to kill most of the nurgles, and finally score without too much damage.
1-0 before the second half
I can start the second half with 11 players on defense. I've prepared an aggressive setup to put pressure on his BC. What I did in the 9th turn, and Duke was forced to use his wiz early in the half to protect his BC, and then he ran on a side. My ag4 cpomber Erg was there to keep the endzone, and Dada came back just in time to blitz his BC. Bounce was good for me thanks to the fans: my blodger cpomber Golgoth was there to pick it up and to try to save the ball. Dada made a final blitz on the BC after a 3+ dodge, the ball bounced next of Golgoth, so it made the recovering harder for Duke. He only needed a 3+3+3+3+ to equalize, but failed the pass. If he scored there he was almost sure to win the match in overtime.
1-0 at the end.
It was a great (and fast: 30 minutes) match. It's a great step for my Chaos in this tournament, surely the toughest one so far. But almost all my guys will be there for the quarter-final.
Thank you Duke for this match. You could have reached the final with your great and very well coached team. First time my Chaos win against your Nurgles, I'm glad it was today Smile Good luck in your next tournaments, maybe we'll be faced again!

Slime Barons coach comments:
Into the 5th round and it was an all Blackbox Claw/MB encounter.
The Chaos received first, so in an attempt to take advantage of regen, 2 rookie Warriors were placed on the LoS, sadly both were injured fairly quickly with regen failing, leaving me down in the Str stakes across the field.
Despite a pitch invasion on kick off, the first half was a fairly smooth march down the pitch for the Chaos after they quickly took the numerical advantage. In fact all 4 Nurgle reserves were quickly used up, leaving the Nurgle to foul more selectively than they had planned. So the first half finished 1-0 Chaos.
Into the second half and a failed pickup put early pressure on the Nurgle, with the wizard being required to recover the position. By now the Chaos were finally starting to lose players. The Nurgle put their faith in a loose cage down the flank, hoping to cover the ball should it scatter, but the Chaos dodged in their star beastman, taking out the ball carrier and the scatter going out of bound, and thrown to an ideal position for one of their few remaining players to recover.
In the end it came down to a final play by the Nurgle, 3+ pickup, 3+ pass, 3+ catch (with reroll) and the game would go to overtime, with Nurgle having superior numbers and rerolls, but the Nurgle knew their time in the Fumbbl Cup was over and sure enough the pass was failed and out of the cup they sailed.
Thanks for the game Khor, best of luck with the rest!

Crossdressers (Amazon) 2 vs 0 Beverly Blacksons (Chaos)

Crossdressers coach comments:
And after fighting debog in round 4 first and then the Buccs in round 5, KingRoyale´s solid chaos is up for the next clash. Bets from the casino are apparently on the girls, but I am not as sure - AT ALL!
But - after doing some math, it turns out that I REALLY want to win this game. If I would, then Crossdressers would had made it to 5 Top-8 appearances in majors, in 4 different tourneys.
So I use THE potion!
Yes, the potion! And boys, was it worth it? It sure was! Stålhammar´s 2nd sister manages to sink her 7cm-nails (nails! not claws!) deep into the ankle (apo saved Uhlor from a certain death of bloodloss) of 207spp-move8-goat Uhlor in the middle of the game. Ka-boom!
I can't really remember all the details now, I just write down some random stuff.
I was lucky. Way more lucky.
Andrea got killed on the first block of the game. Ka-pow!
Chaos recieved, but I managed to dodge once, 2 gfis, and bring down the orc ballcarrier and with some luck I managed to rush in the ball in turn 7 of first half.
I, however, forgot Uhlor and the intern attempt so my setup was awful. My biggest mistake in the game. But a very nice kick, and the ball didn't reach Uhlor after some chain pushing on the girls first. And OH - KAPOW! Uhlor is down, hurt and out as the last thing of first half.
Second half chaos manages to get a good aggressive defense on the girls. But when we are close to our own end zone, we use the wiz on the clawpomber, pass the ball to a blitzer and onerous-blitzes a rookie goat, and a fairly free rush alone for the win.
I made the important rolls when it mattered, and that decided the game.
Thanks a lot for playing KingRoyale, great fight and spirit, next time you will execute the little girls ;-D

Punish the Monkey (Orc) 3 vs 2 RC Underdark (Dark Elf)

RC Underdark coach comments:
Having made it to the last 16 was a big surprise to me, but these are the matches I get most excited about. Cool (and very good) opponent, cool team, so the scene is set for a great match.
And it was! I loved every minute of it. Punish the Monkey, despite being far from a killer team, brought hitting power to the match and quickly depleted the Dark Elves. In the end, despite risky plays and no need for rerolls for large parts of the match by both team, this was what caught up with us. Add to that the bad push on the orc blitzer in T8 1st half, and the misclick/miscount of assists on the ball carrier and the better coach and team won today.
Take it all the way Kryten!

Atrapados en el Tiempo (Orc) 2 vs 1 Average Mediocrity (Human)

Average Mediocrity coach comments:
Tonight we meet an orc team of epic proportions. Since AM reached this round a few weeks before Atrapados en el Tiempo did, I was able to keep hoping they would get kicked out by one of the more 'beatable' teams. No such luck, they kept on steamrolling their opposition, and suddenly it was matchday.
We chose to reveive the kickoff. The orcs had a enormous number of guard, so I saw little choice but to try and draw their squad down by using Gerald as bait. This allowed for a quick score, but due to some smart and risky play from the orcs, I had to burn the wizard for the touchdown. The movement 8 agility 4 blitzer proved too much for my team, 1-1 halftime, no serious damage done to either team.
The round started great. Being inspired by the many cheers and boos from our wonderfull crowd, the lads started in overdrive, and got a blitz! The orcs had filled the entire LOS up, and here my poor marking skills kicked in. (Standfirm and diving tackle are my archnemeses, rcdORC had the combo twice on two blodgers, killing my chances at a run and dodge game).
In the end, the orcs managed to stall untill the last turn for their second score, and the whistle blew at 2-1.
Average Mediocrity had a great run. An unexpected one even. I had a blast this game, the team was inspired with an ogre dodging and blitzing the ball from a DT player, but it was not enough.
Good luck rcdORC in the rest of the tournament. It would be more than average to be beaten by the winners of a FC trohpy!

Wow, great to read all the bets! This can go any way it seems like!

And yes King_Ghidra, Crossdressers have 5 Top 8 appearances in Majors now. Insane... Only UI that we haven't made it to.
So worth that potion ;-D

Go female humans! Well, zons are humans. Kind of. Or a breed between ogres and snots. Atleast my team. Confusing. For everyone!

** Milford from the FC **

Well, Dr. Suess was up next to stop the inevitable march of death by the wind walkers. I will be kind, they got run over by a mac truck and blown up.

Yes, that is the "kind" view of events that unfolded on the pitch.

OUCH!!

Is Les Vent the team of destiny? Bring the CPOMB and destroy all before them?

Now before you fly off the handle that the Les Vent squad is just a goon squad of CPOMB. They are following the time honored template of a winning side. They get your boxers turned into bikini thongs in CPOMB rage and then they beat you with their AG4 ball handlers.

So are they CPOMB goons? Or a balling choas team that can beat you with a little bit of the Chaos Elf ball?

Hey Chuck VS. still has a lot of defenders out there, still claiming they won the FC 3 years ago with their superior balling skills.

The Grand Hall of the Association of Humanity

Once again the Grand Hall is jammed packed with the dedicated followers of Humanity and their endless quest to win a major.

The major point of bitching is the CROSSDRESSERS!!!!!!!

Men dressing as women or is it women dressing as men. In fact half the hall is debating exactly is it men who look like women or reverse. With the added dimension of if it is Men dressing as Women does that still make them a Amazon team in disguise and in reality they are a Human team.

Lets just say 27 pints of ale makes that discussion more convoluted and very hard to follow.

BUT

The main reason for all the pain and suffering right now is How in the HELL did the Blood Sea Buccaneers and the Red Corsair, two of the top Ranked Human teams, let those stupid, skirt wearing, no AV, bearded women BEAT THEM BOTH?? Both teams had them in their sights and spit the bit, blew it and choked!!!!! INCONCEIVABLE!!!!!

Just when the Hall was finally going to bitch and moan some more about the Buccaneers and the Corsairs and try to wrap their head around this some dude in the back decides it is time to discuss Norse as related to Humans and how it is not the same...that sends the other half of the room tailspinning into a drunken argument about how norse should be considered Human also.

Then some jack wad points out that Chaos Pact are humans with a evil disposition and some big guys....anarchy breaks out.

Needless to say the druken debate lets the Corsairs and the Buccaneers off the hook until next years annual meeting after the FC.

Then the one sober dude in the out house points out. If you discount that Amazon major win from way, way back in the day. Amazon, Human, Norse and Chaos Pact have not won a major in CRP...so why does it matter who we consider a Human roster that does not say Human at the top of the roster? He wants answers on how in the hell the Crossdressers beat the Buccaneers and the Corsairs!!!!!!!!!

Not to pour fuel on the debate any further, but Chaos Warriors, Nurgle Warriors & Rotters are all human, mostly. And even some Pestigors and Beastmen start off as human before being warped by the ruinous powers. So humanity has at least some claim to all the titles won by those 2 teams...
