UHFA Underway!

Yesterday marked the beginning of the first season of the Union of Hyrulean Football Associations (UHFA) Champions League, with some great goals scored and many more saves made. Several teams looked strong, pounding their opponents into submission, while others barely squeezed by.

One of the more exciting games of the first Matchday pitted IFK Göteborg of Starman Deluxe against Manchester United FC of Canton Rouge. Neither team seemed to gain a firm grasp on the game, the defenses on both sides doing well to shut down the powerful offenses of their opponent. At the half the score was knotted up 2-2, but in the 67th minute Göteborg struck and with the Man. U. defense reeling from the previous goal the star mid-fielder of Göteborg let a rocket go from outside the box, striking inside the top right corner and giving the goalkeeper no chance. Manchester didn't wilt away, however, making a strong comeback in the 78th and 79th minutes. Their hard efforts were rewarded with a goal in the 79th minute, partly silencing the hometown crowd in Starman Deluxe. The fans were up on their feet in no time, however, as Göteborg scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute.

Other notable games in the Premiership were Sampdoria's first win of the season against Club Santo Laguna and K.V. Mechelen comeback victory over Valencia.

UHFA Television Network Broadcast

"Good evening everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your days and I can imagine many of you have just returned from work and look forward to sitting down and catching up on all the football news of the Champions League."

*Change in music along with TV camera*

"It's hard to believe but we are already at the 4th matchday and tomorrow's games are sure to create even more excitement. Because tomorrow's matchday is a highlight one we have brought in one of our football analysts, who will help us break down tomorrow's game. Joining me now is a correspondent of the PBC, Luigi Barra..."

"Thank you very much..."

"So, in the Premiership we have the Relican Admirals of Clamparapa hosting Manchester United of Canton Rouge. So far the Admirals have played only one game, which they won two-to-nothing, and Manchester United has lost one game and tied another."

"That's true, but in Man. U.'s defense those two games were close right to the final whistle and in both games it looked like United could have scored late but there simply was not enough time. The Admirals on the other hand have not played very much. True, it is only the 4th matchday but they have had quite sometime to prepare for this game. The only question is, are they ready to play?"

"Now, do you believe that the hometown fans will help Relican?"

"Certainly. One thing I love about football fans around Hyrule is their loyalty to the sport and to their teams. Rarely will you see a stadium not completely full; in fact, I know that most games throughout the Champions League are sold out. The fans should really provide a moral boost to the Admirals, hopefully offsetting any slow start or finish they may experience."

"What is your prediction then?"

"I have to go with Manchester United on this one. They've been so close to victory and are going to get that first win tomorrow afternoon. 3-1 is the score in Manchester's favor."

"Alright, Mr. Barra we will now move on to the game in the Championship. A game pitting Club Brugge K.V. of Kritschboilek against another team from Canton Rouge, Arsenal FC. Who do you like in this match up?"

"Personally, I like Brugge K.V. just because they dominated PSV on the 1st matchday while Arsenal got dominated themselves by AC Milan. Will Arsenal look to rebound? Of course and I predict that this game will be another very close one, something we've seen plenty of and want more of, but I don't think that Arsenal's defense can match up against, what I believe are some of the best midfielders in this Champions League. Look for a 1 goal margin at the end of this one..."

"No precise prediction?"

"Haha...No, because this game could be high scoring and close or low scoring and close. These two teams, I believe, are ready to play and I look forward to watching them on the sod."

"Thank you again, Luigi Barra, for giving us your insightful analysis and we look to have you back on the show at a later time...When we return, we'll show you nothing but highlights of all the games played so far this season and we'll breakdown last matchday's results further, please stay tuned..."
