[singing4seagulls]

Brighton on now.

I doubt it, Albion beat Singapore Football Club

You're quite right. Used to be just SCC took part, now It's them and SFC.

Albion lost their final group game 1-0 against Yokohama.

Laid siege to the Yokohama goal, but couldn't find a way to score. Sounds familar.

Our knockout game could be repeat of last years final (against Villa)!

Yep - whoever wins in the current game, and tops Group A, is up next for us.

 

[Bozza]

Villa two up.

Impressed with Yokohama. Scored a great goal and often one's enough in this format. Them or Villa I reckon this year.

Albion v West Ham on now..

 

[Steve in Japan]

The definition of a cagey affair!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Good shot from the keeper Hall before half time.

I love watching the advanced positions he takes up.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Nothing to fear, let's go second half

 

[Steve in Japan]

And through to the final AET and pens...well done lads

 

[drew]

Interesting format for extra time!

Good win, now on to the final.

Up next...

 

[Denis]

I thought AZ had a woman in goal then I saw the beard. Come on lads!

 

[Official Old Man]

Extra time. Each team plays only 4 players. Golden goal. Do you play a keeper or not?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Mullins you clown

Roll on 2026

In general, this format is not a good watch. The lads have been coached to keep possession at all costs, resulting in keepers standing on the ball, lots of sideways passing and very few attempts on goal. Very little risk taking. Which kind of bit us on the bum in the final (and nearly did in the semi)

People watch Rugby 7s because it's quick and exciting, and lots of tries get scored.
