Prediction of Lanun Cup (by ESPNsoccernet)

this was posted by independent observer, Van Der Zet.

Defending Champions : All–Starz FC
Captain: Lilian Slampuck
Team: Van der Zet, Nakaimura, Zul Totti, Parab Mido, Rud Van Cacai


This is the team that will be feared by most of people, their attacking style as well as defense is unbearable. The adopting method of 1-2-1 make some of the opponent out of idea to break this team down, but lack of communication in the team could well be see as the advantage to the opponent to play quick counter-attack. Unless they improve their communication in the team, this might as well be the end of the title race for this team.
Prediction : The obvious choice to win the title again.

Title Challengers : ICU FC
Captain: David K.E Beckham
Team: Remy Ferdinand, Moonz Giggs, Ivan Zaid Campo, Nizam Saha, Robert Joseph Cenna


The inconsistency in the team performance makes the team is unpredictable over time, but bear in mind that this team has a solid attacking build up with one defending midfield, make the opponents really tired and not be able to keep the ball much longer. Their defense may not be as strong as their attacks but they are an expert of playing long ball and long range shooting, and attacking is the best defense. So if they somehow can keep the ball on the other half of the field then they might get the chance to win.
Prediction: Due to their inconsistency, it makes it hard to see them win this title, but maybe they just can sniff out and get the title to their name.

The Highly Rated : FC Legend
Captain: Joey Keane
Team: Amy Smith, Bad Tafarel, John Obi Mikel, Mamanscherano, K a K a f A c E


A new team with many big names in it. The team may be similar to Chelsea of EPL but without any achievement and title yet, they could well prove their point in the tournament. Adopting the attacking of lone striker up front and support striker behind him, they might adopting 2-1-1 with the defense will be overlapping to support the attacking. This team has a very attacking minded, but with their attacking, they might leaving their defense exposed thus the opponent might be able to pass through it. If they can balance their defense, they can have good chances to win the title.
Prediction: They already have the talent, but they need the chemistry in the team. This team will provide an interesting feature to the title race if they win it, and might be the one team that All-Starz will be looking upon.

The New Boyz : The Best Lanun
Captain: Hilmienaldo
Team: Najib Gomez, Faizal Zannetti, Faizin Heinze, Asri Eto’o, Mokhtar Eboue


Don’t judge a book by its cover, this team maybe new to the league and the title race. But they do have high motivation to win it. The adopting style of 2-0-2 is somehow shown their uniqueness in the field. They have players which can run up and down the pitch, but their ability to score goal is questionable. They might not play quick football, but they really good in keeping and holding the ball to their possession. Unless the opponents can avoid them from getting the ball, they are quite dangerous in the pitch. Overall, they must improve their goal scoring chances in order for them to upset everybody to lift the title.
Prediction: It is really hard to see them win this title, but their hard work in the pitch could swing the title to their favors.

May the Best Team Wins
