NUCLEAR CUP FINALS ANTICIPATION EXPLODES

As everybody already knows, The Nuclear Cup Super FINALS week starts next week!  The anticipation of the most spectacular week in World sport has prompted many Nuclear Cup parties around the world, but has placed the lives of millions at risk of nuclear explosion, and many millions more at risk of a slow and painful death caused by the excessive radiation that they will receive leading to cancer and other diseases.  Already, nuclear explosions have occurred in Cardiff, Ulan Bataar (pictured) and Adelaide.  These disasters have prompted some people to question the Nuclear Cup organisers decision to name this tournament The "Nuclear" Cup.  However, a brief statement by Nuclear Cup organisers stated "As long as no Nuclear Cup players are blown-up by a nuclear explosion, wiping them out for at least 4-6 weeks, then we don't give a shit".  A sentiment shared by most around the world.

Nuclear Cup Finals Week matches:

Green Loraxes        vs   The Units   (NUCLEAR CUP FINAL)

Bluthenthal da 3     vs   BRAP2        (BRONZE MEDAL)

Gaeta                        vs   More Fire!  (DIVISION B FINAL)

darkness12               vs   Mababies    (WOODEN-SPOON)

I am not exactly sure what is the best for home grounds - any thoughts let me know, or work it out between yourselves!

Bluthenthal defends line-up decisions against The Units

Bluthenthal da 3 has defended its lineup decisions for the Nuclear Cup semi-final against the Units, in which the Units pulled-off an amazing 1-2 victory at Bluthenthal's home ground. A number of inexperienced and reserve team players (Leonard Carp pictured) were called-up for the clash, prompting a number of commentators and fans to question the tactics of Bluthenthal manager. Bluthenthal made an offical statement today saying, "Clearly we played our strongest line-up - and we will PAVE everybody who thinks otherwise - what da Hell!!!! Perhaps if we wore Mankinis things would have been different".

The Units will face the Green Loraxes in the Nuclear Cup final next week. This will be the third clash of the season for these two teams - with the Loraxes having the slight upper-hand in the first two clashes.

Although Mababies League campaign is going well….it is quite clear that Mababies will be taking out the wooden spoon in the Nuclear Cup’s inaugural season…so... I thought I would give the organisers a hint as to what sort of wooden spoon I would like sitting on my desk!!! Or outside my house!!!

Amazing Victory to BRAP2 ends Regular Season

Today's matches concluded the inaugural Nuclear Cup regular season with Bluthenthal da 3 and the Green Loraxes finishing top of each of their pool. However, Nuclear Cup favorite, Bluthenthal da 3, suffered an incredible defeat this week at the hands of BRAP2. This continued the amazing form of BRAP2 in recent weeks, and has no doubt got the attention of other Nuclear Cup teams and and demonstrates that BRAP2 is a strong contender for the Nuclear Cup.

The Finals start next week!! The matches are as follows.

Semi 1 Bluthenthal da 3 vs The Units
Semi 2 Green Loraxes vs BRAP2

Div B Semi 1 Gaeta vs Mababies
Div B Semi 2 darkness12 vs More Fire!

NOTE: Matches in the finals are to CUP GAMES (not normal).

The home ground I think will be just be as above because home ground advantage won't effect 3 of the matches - However, Bluthenthal and The Units might have to work this out between themselves - If they want to organise a 'neutral' ground or perhaps work out a reason why one or the other should be at home - perhaps whoever has the more points/goal diff. from regular season? - therefore that would be Bluthenthal. But let us know what you decide.

Cheers,
Nuclear Cup

Units manager on scouting mission to New Zealand!!

Before I head off, some last minute business to attend to:
Congratulations to the Green Loraxes for their magnificent triumph against league leaders Mighty Power on Sunday, adding to the clubs impressive list of scalps. Happy birthday too!
To the management of More Fire!: Thanks for the tiramisu- the container is still located in the Units official kitchen.
In official nuclear cup business, Darkness12 had not accepted The Units' challenge for this weeks match by 12.15pm today, so management decided to hastily arrange a friendly with another team so as not to lose training etc. The Units leave all decisions relating to the match score etc to the learned nuclear cup council, and the Units will abide with any decision- the dude abides!
Happy new year to all, and good luck with upcoming fixtures.

Units wary of Oliveri

The sight of a fit Giancarlo Oliveri has sent shivers down the spine of the Units camp. Especially with veteran Units midfielder Laurent Rougier injured for 3 weeks. Rougier, 29, was in great form before he suffered a groin injury (pictured) one week ago.
Will the Units have to draft in a first team player for the big clash on Wednesday?

Oliveri called up for top-of-the-table clash with the Units

The young Lorax superstar, Giancarlo Oliveri, 19, was seen training at the Mornington Peninsula this week in anticipation of the Pool 2 top-of-the-table clash with The Units on Wednesday.  Whilst the Lorax line-up is yet to be confirmed, it is strongly rumored selectors will pick the superstar forward for his first Nuclear Cup appearance in order to bolster the forward line which is expected to undergo its toughest challenge against an anticipated formidable (or passable) Units defense.

HE'S BACK!!!

He’s back!!! After god knows how many weeks of being injured- the mighty Captain (Nasili Solomon) of Mababies is back!!! Hopefully we will see more victories in the upcoming league matches…but I think we will still get the wooden spoon in the Nuclear Cup:(

New Coach for the Units

After selling out their newly upgraded stadium today, the Units had enough cash to hire a new coach- 43 year old Englishman Clifford Scullion.
Scullion is a solid trainer and noted ladies' man.
