Welcome to the Primiership Center, our international soccer league. Yesterday, our two teams Arsenal FC and Manchester United FC faced off against other teams, and here is the report:
IFK Göteborg vs. Manchester United FC 5-4
This was a close match from the start. Both offense and defense from both sides made the first half locked down with 2-2. In the second half however, Goteborg scored a key goal in the 67th minute, and another goal from them followed suit. However, Manchester responded with goals in the 78th and 79th minutes. But Goteborg scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute, leaving Manchester off with its first loss. Coach Watkins had this to say:
"Of course we're saddened by losing by a single goal today. But we must also realize that we were able to maintain ourselves against Goteborg, and hopefully, we will do better in the next match up."
Moving on to Arsenal, they faced AC Milan, and were walloped 0-4. Milan's offense were quick to circle around Arsenal, scoring left and right. No comment could be reached from Arsenal's coach, but rest assured, no one wants Arsenal to start their season off this way.
That wrap's up the Premiership Center report, join us next time for more soccer news.

Welcome again to the Premiership Center, your home for soccer here in Canton Rouge. Today, we saw vast improvements in both of our teams.
First, let's talk about Arsenal FC, who played AIK Stockholm. The defense on both sides were so great, that the offense could not score a goal, leaving the game tied at 0-0. Arsenal head coach Jules Yensworth replied, "After such an embarassing defeat to AC Milan last time, we're proud to have tied against Stockholm. I hope that next time, we can win ourselves a match and prove we are in contention."
On to Manchester, who also tied against FC Bayern Munich 3-3. It was a fast paced back and forth match with no sign of either team letting up, but eventually, the 90th minute came with both teams tied, and the shootout being undeceisive. Coach Henri Watkins commented that he is also pleased with the results, and would hope that his team could acheive victory in the next match as well.
That's all for this Premiership Center report, join us next time for more soccer news, right here.

Welcome back to the Canton Rouge Premiership Center. Today's double posting is not a good one. First off, Manchester United faced defeat against the Relican Admirals two matches ago, losing 3-1. This was attributed to star players Cesar Roubles and Karl DeRezev being sick, thus unable to play. Then, in the recent match for Manchester, luck was on their side as they managed to tie against Yokohama F. Marinos, 1-1.
On to Arsenal, who lost 2-1 against Club Brugge K.V. Althought Arsenal had an early lead, in the second half, Brugge caught up, and surpassed Arsenal. In their most recent match against PSV Palmacoasta however, a humiliating defeat at home was suffered by our team. Palmacoasta was able to work their way around Arsenal's defenders, with the end result being a 0-3 loss for Arsenal.
That's all for now, tune in next week for more soccer match ups right here at the Canton Rouge Premiership Center!
