JBO League: ReHu snatch draw at NoPs

Recreativo Huelva came back from 3-1 down to earn a point against Nokian Palloseura in their first game of the season.
Suttoni took the lead for NoPs but 3 minutes later ReHu responded with Aqua netting the goal from a superb pass from Scheider.
The game collected various bookings from match referee Grant including Ridge & Kasap's challenges in the first half.
NoPs took a 2 goal leader with goals from Ridge at the end of the first half, and Suttoni's second goal early in the second half. But with a quick responce from Aqua and a penalty from Aqua once again made sure ReHu earnt atleast one point from the match.
Teemu was booked for conceding the penalty.

Other Results:

Nevarit 1-0 Hypnotize
Recreativo Huelva 3-3 Nokian Palloseura

JBO League: Marna Snaha FC 0-2 Arsenal

Today season one of the JBO League kicked off.
With news of The Mexicools pulling out, it ment that all matches that were due to be played against the team are now no longer and will not count.
So, it was up to Marna & Arsenal to give us a show, and a show is what we got.
It was a quiet first half but Marna created two chances that most people would believe they should of scored.
Hitting the post, and making he keeper work we had shots and efforts from all angles but Marna were shaken after Sharp scored the first goal in the history of the JBO League assisted by club owner Cesc.
Lupoli shut the game off after putting the ball into an empty net after some neat passing play from Aguerö & Insolence.
Arsenal came out 2-0 winners in the end and are now top of the table with Marna Snaha bottom.

Todays Results:

AC Arto 92 P-P The Mexicools
Marna Snaha 0-2 Arsenal

G'day mate & Howdy ya'll...

Hmm, well i'm quite speechless.
If you've been checking the Javaball new players section on Javaball you will notice every 3/4 minutes a new person coming to join the now famous community.
Yeah, we got the odd yank or Canadian but this is just freaky, we've had 3 Australians sign up in the space of 10 minutes, 4 yanks and various others without a flag which come under "other" on the about section.
That's not all, now if you check the page of jouko the creator, founder or whatever you want to call him... you will see that he's flag has changed from Finnish to American, though when you look at his brothers Mikko... who is also one of the programmers of this game then you will see he still has the Finnish flag.
Now, it's either we're being scammed or jouko and Mikko have had an arguement over who gets to pinch the backside of Zaroza meaning that jouko has ran off to the "leading country of the world" to start a new life Mikko free.
Who knows? time will tell.

JBO League taking shape

The first ever JBO League which is being put together by JBO owner Grant is now taking shape.
Teams such as Arsenal & Marna Snaha have been recruited, and the website is now up and running for the league which you can now find here.
A lot of hard work has gone into the league and more than 1 month of planning has been involved in this.
Anyway, to join the league your team must be active and played a minimum of 100 ranked games.
Only reason for this is so we get loyal teams taking the league serious.
Also, those wanting to know when the league starts, well erm i'll let you know when i know because of the rumours of the IS Cup III spreading, we do not want the league dates to collide with the IS Cup.

Javaball Releases New Homepage

Behold the new Javaball homepage!
After constant whining and protests on the streets of Finland, it seems as though Jouko & Mikko actually have fount a new intrest and yes... IT'S JAVABALL!
Thanks to them, and our friends in Helsinki protesting for these wonderfull events, we have seen a new test version which people are complaining over.
Don't forget ladies, this is still a test version TEST... You know? Where they test things out, i'm positive the skills Jouko & Mikko have in programming this is sure to be better than Hockey especially with recent technology.
Still, they've given us a new homepage with fancy looks and rumours are spreading that VIP could hit Javaball as early as the new year.
I've taken some recent screenshots of various pages on the new page and i must say i'm quite impressed.

Though, now i do feel sorry for Jouko and Mikko as they're now putting time and effort into Javaball, a majority of people from Javaball still dont think it's good enough... I don't know they might be stupid or just want something to complain about. Programmers can only do their best!

The Account information page is looking quite spiffy also, making us compete with those Hockey chums from the other side of the pond, only a few of the tabs on this homepage works ie; Player Information & Notes.

Team page has changed also, a more grassy green colour tot the table and "Inactive Teams" have been moved to the top 100 meaning it's going to be a bigger challenge for the title Arsenal dropping down to 6th in recent times because of this.
You will also have the option to check tables that have been played in 5v5, 7v7, or 10v10 format in the future but bit by bit these pages are taking their tole very impressed at the moment? i know i am.





The forum page also changing from the old boring style we've seen for nearly 2 years too a greener version to the shiny hockey one.
Id' say nothing about these updates have really changed to what Hockey's are like but i think we'd prefer this than what the old one had.
Let's just hope the ingame settings chase ie; the zoom because thats the biggest problem the game has, i'm not to sure about the stamina bar maybe it will be more enjoyable if the zoom is taken away.
But to be honest with you i can't see the zoom being taken away because after the recent rumours hit Javaball that a customizable stadium will be put into place there wont be enough room on your screen to see it all without the zoom. So unless you have a 52"+ PC screen i don't think much will change.

And finally a page i am quite proud of, the "About Page" it hasn't changed much apart from the colouring and the shiny spiffy new flags but if you see the new links navigation which has been put into place you will see JBO the abbreviation of the mighty one and only JAVABALL ONLINE!
This is a proud day for all of us at JBO... blah blah blah. Anyway, yeah these are the new shots of the new homepage hope you all enjoyed them.

Netherlands Crushed... Grant Still Standing

Netherlands today were stunned as they lost 4-1 to a Czech Republic side who has never won an international game.
Grant released a statement saying that Hänninen had resigned as the clubs Assistant Coach, and that Grant & Noob will both be staying in their regular roles at the club.
Grant also said that everyone will be given another chance to redeem themselfs and that he will be doing everything possible to turn the results back to normal.

The BIG one - Preview: Czech Republic v Netherlands

Later on today, Czech Republic will take on Netherlands in a large attempt to pile pressure on Netherlands manager Grant for him to face more problems.
Grant who took the job at the end of last month has become unpopular around a handfull of Dutch players after the Brit installed a new rule which rocked Netherlands.
The rule was part of Grants new scheme which was in Grants plans to tackle bad attitudes and racism which as effected Netherlands in the past.
Netherlands have been known on Javaball as the immature bunch that everyone look down on, but since Grant has taken over he has kept his word.
Though Grant installing this rule, and appointing noob as his assistant manager and Max (Carrick) as his coach, Netherlands players such as Vennegoor (Ralph) and a few others are saying he is destroying Netherlands.
Ralph claims that it is a tradition that Dutch players should act this way and for a foreigner to enter the country as manager and mess with the tradition is way out of line.
A number of Dutch players are shocked at Grants selection to face Czech Republic but after he dropped a number of players from the squad he said he had no choice but to do this.

It's a great time to face Netherlands and i'm sure Czech will be looking to cause an upset with so much turmoil on the Dutch path.
Czech have been training hard for this match and S.Vleck has told us that he is confident Czech will pick up their first ever international win.
"I have good faith in the team i have chosen, i know the attackers will cause Netherlands problems and hopefully we can take advantage of the situation they are in and win the match."

You can see the match live at 18:00 GMT, 19:00 CZE/NED on the Javaball website.

JBO Prediction: A very intresting game, Czech are improving but with a mixed number of experienced players i'm sure Netherlands will come out winners. My prediction is Czech Republic 1 - 5 Netherlands.

Javaball Updates: Stadium Confirmed

A very close source to Javaball and Mikko has told us that a stadium will be one of the updates that will take part in the new version.
The stadium will be customizable in many ways and reports suggest Mikko will be showing another sneak preview picture very soon!

BREAKING NEWS: It's here, this is it

Late on December 09, which is Grant's birthday (Not that it has anything to do with this subject, maybe jouko is doing it as a late present...).
Jouko himself appeared online with Mikko with strong rumours saying that he is creating a VIP service for Javaball.
This is the strogest link, rumour or whatever you want to call it we have ever had on Javaball and there is a new hope after the dreams were quashed.


Just now we would like to confirm some breaking news, Javaball test version has been released.


It's finally here, we've all been waiting for it.
I'd also like to point out not through favourtisim but the first ever people in the history of Javaball to test out the new version these names will live long into the names of our great grandchildren tonight these brave men made history there names are:
Grant, Gerrard, Pique, Assuncao Ramos, V.ConE, Riki & the man himself Jouko.


The updates will include, all bug fixes, high quaility graphics, benches, new nets, new balls, new kits and a stamina bar not to mension the advertisement boards which will soon be in use.
Don't forget this isn't the proper version yet it is just a test, and as jouko has stated this is a stepping stone things will be built on top of this ASAP.

It's quite odd if you disagree, but the lads named above have made Javaball history.
December 9 - 10, 2008. NEVO FORGET läds.

Grant using Netherlands as a stepping stone

Netherlands manager Grant has revealed that he only took on the Netherlands job so he could use it as a stepping stone for a more crucial job in the future.
Grant, capped 4 times for England is the unwanted star of attention around Netherlands and whilst many Dutch players want him to resign when he has not even had 1 game as a manager.
"Truthly, i only took on this role because it's a challenge and i know once i've proven my point here i can move onto a job that would really suit me. Maybe one day i can manage England."
Players such as Vennegoor who were dropped from Grant's Netherlands squad want to see the last of Grant ASAP but Grant has stood still and said he will not be giving up the job because of "idiots" want him to step down.
Rumours are rising on JBO Bet that Grant will be stepping down as manager after the Czech game, but with Grant refusing to step down we could be seeing a bit of chaos.

Grant feeling the heat

Netherlands manager Grant is feeling the heat after players who were kicked out of the squad lashed out at him last night.
Vennegoor, pari and Köäkä who is actually in the Netherlands squad said that Grant does not have no idea what he is doing.
Grant fired back a rapid response saying he intends to sort the main objective in the Netherlands that has caused many problems in recent times for Netherlands on Javaball. The Behaviour has to be delt with, and untill players act mature and do not wish to discriminate people racially or in any other way... He will be handing out hard punishments to the Dutch players.
England assistant manager Cesc, and captain P.ZeN gave Grant their support saying that Netherlands need to give him a chance and that he is obviously giving his all to take the country to the next level.
Players such as Dracena who have nothing to do with the Dutch squad has also hit out at Grant saying he is the wrong man.
But Grant remains strong and will be looking to prove he's point on December 12, when Netherlands take on Czech Republic in an International friendly.

Javaball update rumours quashed

Today, Javaball came to a stand still as not one person could get onto playing Javaball.
With people seeing that Hockey was still up and Javaball was down, the excitement started to begin with the rumour of updates!
Rumours had already been circling as Jouko announced that the updates would be taking place within the next 7 days, that was 1 week today that he had announced that and the puzzle was piecing together.
A forum was started by X.Alonso and it gained over 200 posts in a short amount of time, but the rumours started to die down and it became a very regular story as Blister had announced that he had spoken to Jouko and Jouko said there was things not right with the updates, and it had just been a crash of servers.
But how could the servers crash when Hockey was still up?
Maybe it was for the owners Jouko & Mikko to test the game themselfs? Who knows, i think that will still be a mystery to all of us.

JBO Tournaments & Other News

The JBO Cup is coming closer to Javaball, as Malawi is putting together the last procedures for the tournament.
Rumours are circling that the tournament could be set to start over the christmas holiday but we are awaiting confirmation from Malawi.

Grant is also putting together a tournament/league we aint sure yet... but it's going to be based on UK counties.
Grant has made a forum topic getting people to leave which county they are living in currently, so the tournament can shape up step by step.
Greater London & Yorkshire are looking to be potential winners as they are both filling up fast, but Britains tipped best player P.ZeN is having a poor time as we think he is the only person currently living in Cardiff.

Also, 12 December there will be an international friendly between Czech Republic & Netherlands.
This will see Grant incharge as manager of Netherlands for the first time.
Grant has hit the frame lately with complaints from players saying he is not the right man because he is dropping the wrong people out.
Grant was speaking to JBO earlier:
"I don't want to drop players with great talent from the Netherlands, but i don't want a team that is full of players with a bad attitude.
I would rather lose and know that my players gave 100% their best, than to see my team win and still have the same problem surrounding bad attitudes".

P.ZeN scoops up award for November

P.ZeN has become the first British player to win the JBO player of the month award.
He picked up the award for November with 37.5% of the votes, but it's 2nd time unlucky for Apkamgbo who only got 25% of the vote, still well done to him for collecting runners-up for the second time.

We would all here at JBO like to congratulate P.ZeN for picking up the award, and we hope he continues to impress Soccer.Kiekko and pick up more awards!

I'd also like you to understand that each time the POTM award opens for voting, we would like as many people as possible to start voting on the JBO forum!

Happy Holidays!

Transfer Rumours & News

Well, what makes JavaballOnline special is that people who read JBO love to hear the latest transfer rumours and that is exactly what we've got for you today.

Since departures at Nevarit in the last week or so, Nevarit have decided to go scouting and pick up a few talents just to stable their squad. Now personally i don't think Nevarit need anymore players as they're a tough mighty force but obviously Blister is after a few players.
The names that we have linked with Nevarit are quite surprising.
Väyrynen, since he left AC Arto 92 he could be the type of replacement for Usko but Väyrynen has expressed his feelings about "glory hunters" in the past. It's unlikely that he will become a Nevarit player but who knows, it's a crazy world out there. We have Somalian Pirates and a British prime minister who crys when he is having a tough time.
Now also there has been Lamminen linked with a move back to Nevarit he scored 6 times for the club a while back and it's rumoured that Lamminen could be a main target for Nevarit.

JK Sahanmäen Petäjä a new team on the block, run by Malawi is looking for talents who are loyal and have a great deal of maturity.
JKSP have put a shortlist together and it a source close to the club have stated that names such as Gerrard, Clinton & JonzQ could be on their way to JKSP.

That's basically all the transfer news, now in other news...
New Netherlands manager Grant looks to have had his offer accepted from Czech Republic with a future match.
Details of the match is looking to most likely: 12 December 2008 the time is too be arranged.

And also, the long awaited updates of the game could almost be upon us!
Rumours from a close source suggest that Mikko informed one of the moderators that the updates will take place in a week maximum... So watch this space.

JBO Catch Up

It's been a long time since our last post, and well we're back with a post now!
Since our last post, we've seen Recreartivo Huelva die and come back again. Finland winning the Euro2008 but people say they should not of as they were too lucky, true or false? you decide about that one.
Rumours are starting to grown fond as well, since we've heard moderators say that there could be a Soccer.Kiekko BETA version getting released within the next month.
It'll be 2 years in April since Javaball was released and there has been excitement since these rumours unfolded we will keep you up to date with this story as soon as we get any more news.

Netherlands coach Overmars decided to step down as manager and leave Javaball, for how long? we dont know but Overmars did state it will be for good.
Mean while Mosquera took over as coach and appointed Pique & Grant as his assistants, but 4 days later Mosquera resigned after the Dutch players stated he was not the right man after the first training camp last saturday.
Grant & Pique are the main contenders to take the job but their has been speculation that noob or chivu will be the new manager.
Come to think of it, there was a poll started by Mosquera saying he wanted the job back, to be honest with you i don't even know if he has left or not? Where Netherlands are concerned it's getting out of hand. Something has to happen sooner or later.

England U-21 has their new manager installed, the man himself Beckham aka Treviso being appointed truely because Pique & Grant (The main contenders) stepped down to take the managerial status at Netherlands.
Since then Beckham has shown he is getting stressed out after many players were unhappy with his last training camp.
Players have mixed emotions and want Grant or Carsley as their new manager but the rumours of a new manager is slowly dieing down after most players are agreeing to give Beckham time to turn things around.

JBO are also proud to state that they have agreed a contract with Malawi to sponsor the brand new Javaball cup which will come to light in around December.
Rumours are also surrounding Javaball that a league will eventually be installed but their is no confirmation in that.

I'd also like to remind you all, that Javaball Player of the month award for November is still going ahead as planned and voting will take place ASAP you have up untill December 1 to cast your vote, and we urge everyone to give their support in the polls and no! you can vote yourself!

And finally JBO would like to confirm that over the christmas period, you will have your chance to cast votes on various different polls for the 2008 Javaball awards their will be polls such as "The funniest Javaball player" to "The least popular Javaball player" This will be like one of those grammy awards!

Nice to see you again, and i hope you've enjoyed reading this post.

Thank you!

You may have realised that there hasn't been active posting by the authors of Javaball Online, but myself has been gaining a few ideas in how we can improve JBO.

Euro 2008: Is almost upon us!

Euro 2008, is almost here and peoples hopes are getting high with all four countries believing they can bring the Euro 2008 championship to their country for the very first time.
Below is the final list of each country, and who they will be taking to Helsinki.

CZECH REPUBLIC


The biggest underdog is this competition could actually be a sleeping giant, such class as Lumcak & wosto already know what it's like to play in a team full of international stars and shall not be strangers to this tournament.
Coach Dakra4 chose his strongest squad and believes his team has the passion to go all the way.

Player to watch: Lumcak - Lumcak has the ability to hold a ball up, shoot and pass in a world class manner, England will have a problem keeping this lad away from shooting.

JBO Tournament verdict: 4th Place.

ENGLAND


England are one of the most improved countries surrounding Javaball.
They've been controversial in many possible ways, with arguements in the past and an un-friendly manner.
But within the last year, they seem to have proven a lot of people wrong with a maturer class of players and a manager who will never accept defeat.

Player to watch: P.ZeN - Some say he is the best player in England (UK), and some say he's one of the best amonst the game. P.ZeN has a lot of skill, and will no doubt be one of the biggest threats in the tournament.

JBO Tournament verdict: 2nd Place.

FINLAND


Finland are no doubt the most skillful country on Javaball.
They are the home nation of this tournament, and creators of the game.
Finland will not be going for any lower than first place, with new manager Malawi choosing a squad he believes will win this competition hands down.

Player to watch: V.ConE - Tipped as the best player on the game, V.ConE has amazing defensive skills and experience in many situations.
V.ConE will be more or less impossible to get passed unless the other countries have a game plan.

JBO Tournament verdict: 1st Place.

NETHERLANDS


The Netherlands have a very strong squad, who arn't going to be the whipping boys.
Canadian manager Overmars has trained this team to it's highest standards and is hoping that his team will repay him with the best possible finish, ie; the trophy itself.

Player to watch: Samuel - Samuel, better know as Säf is proberly THE best Dutch striker, and will score goals where ever he goes. This lad will be quite hard to stop if you're a defender.

JBO Tournament verdict: 3rd Place.

Developers show some quality intentions, at long long last!

As many of you would have known by now, there is big and for the majority fantastic news of a signal of intent of a very much likely improvement to soccer.kiekko.tk by the developers of this great game Jouko Pynnönen & Mikko Pynnönen via a screenshot they've released on http://kiekko.tk/pix/sosseri.png.

After the never-ending wait of a 18 months, since the dawn of the test version 22nd April 2007 after a comical kiekko.tk April Fools joke leading to the release of what we play today, we all at first anticipated a short-term test version and then the real deal to come by soon enough; we never at first recieved what we wanted and over a long time it seemed all interest of the developers about this game was lost as statements of "we do not have any immediate plans to update this game" and other different disturbances such as Hockey updates came in the way. But the loyal community have pulled through and are still consistently playing and keeping the daily user rate of around 95 a night in a struggle of tackling bugs and rows we've had to put up with a lot and we the loyal soccer.kiekko.tk community definitely deserve something.

Let's be honest the game has been crying out for developer intervention since the word go, times have been hard especially for moderators and teams alike, the test version overall hasn't ever been at a stability level of which we could call 'satisfactory' but it could all change. Credit to Jouko & Mikko we have had some occurences of improvements but for sure nothing as significant as to what looks the possible new deal. The Test version could be running on it's last days. The other implications such as VIP services, background noises, possibly a huge influx of new players from neat advertising that jouko & mikko are known to be capable of (just look at the NA Hockey server). I can almost safely say We finally have light at the end of the tunnel. I myself and most people do not know exactly when these graphical and hopefully gameplay improvements will take place but it will be one of the rare satisfactions experienced in our gaming years to come mark my words.

Take a look at this if you haven't seen the awesome pitch upgrade design:

http://kiekko.tk/pix/sosseri.png

No doubt that the pitch detail is on another level, the goal design is almost un-arguable with clear graphical showing of the bar & frame of the goal. The goal net itself, mouthwatering in ripping with a few bolt strikes :D, plus shadows of the underside of the bar easily creating impecable images of a proper footballing stadium and I constantly visualise the ball smacking the post with the background thump, theres the newly found team benches very much mirroring real-life, the advertising boards, pitch-lines, the box mud stud-rubble (developers mean business) ,corner flag, everything graphical we could have asked for is looking more and more possible; Possibly more? Hell no!, The state of this game I ain't complaining for anything we get.

Just compare that beauty to the current pitch we use in the test version and think, hmm. DAMN! We've played on a pile of shit all this time :P

The diagram also shows various different angles of the players body and kit design, it's exciting times to look forward to. Save the picture to my pictures and rotate, zoom in and view/edit to your hearts content; Yes folks this does look like it could be the new face of soccer; Let's hope we get great gameplay features too including what we all certainly know the Goalkeepers inability to be consistent on shots especially spin shots and inability to compete in 1v1 breakaways, the silly errors such as throw-in bugs, fair goals given as goal kicks, shots on the sidenetting being given as goals, random power-headers/volleys going at incredible speed, set-piece freezes, and perhaps to do with the fair goals part the influential crazy one-yard shot which is given as a goal kick (really ticks me off opposition or not :P). We all know the horrendous and putting-off errors which have perhaps been the main cause of so many exits from this mass potential game.

Have to say I'm very excited, the prospect of all these removals and the graphics is psyching me up and I suppose most of you will be pleased too, Love to see comments on what people (including inactive soccer users) feel about this major development in regards to the Football (Soccer/Javaball if you wanna be specific :-\) side of Java games.

"It was a really tough decision to make"

The England selection process was a test of character, people's hopes & efforts even though it sounds strange for a Javaball game were evidently on the line here and Me and Gerrard were well aware of this. It was a really tough decision to make no doubt, saying we had to think hard about it would just about be an understatement. People missed out by the skin of their teeth and some just about broke in with the talent they had, But 14 is the number we were given and we carefully picked 14, There will always be the debating of "did we pick the right 14", "right or wrong choice to add him?" etc, but as it stands this is the 14 that are going to compete for what should be two massive games.

We welcome your criticisms on the process if you wish, we aren't robots and we will certainly reply to you on the England National Team forum discussion.

We wish everyone involved with or unfortunately left out of the England Setup the best of luck for the somewhat short EURO campaign and the future ahead.

After hard thought from the England managerial staff, they have come to a conclusion that the following players will be traveling to Finland for the first ever Javaball European Championships:

Roster

Ronåldo
Simunic
Usko
Soriano
Pique
könönen
Overmars
Lupoli
Cesc
Maxi
P.ZeN
Pia
O.Martins
Grant

England manager Gerrard believes that the squad he has chosen has the ability to bring to the trophy home to England.
It will be a tough test, but the clock is ticking down to the opening ceremony!

Euro 2008: Preview

There's only one week untill the launch of Javaball's Euro 2008 hosted by Spectator, and everyone taking part in this event are starting to buzz.
Czech Republic, England, Finland & The Netherlands will all give there best to bring the trophy home for the first time ever!
As the last training camps are coming into order for each country to pick the 14 players they will take to the tournament each player that has been either told to show up or just showing up will give there overall best to play for there country in this event.

on 18th October we saw the release of the official Euro 2008 website, and the mascots were finally revealed as "Klopper & Nix Nax".
I would personally like to give a heap of credit to Malawi, Spectator & Whoever else helped in organising this event.

Getting back to the main buisness, and well Czech Republic have been very un-organised and not very well planned in there international time line, they're yet to pick up a victory anywhere and will be looking to cause a valid upset against England in the first round of the Euro 2008 championships.
I'm sure Dakra4 will be choosing his strongest and most improved squad as he will be taking this competition seriously and will obviously be looking to cause an upset which is on the cards i think.

Though England have had ups and downs since Javaball was created, i honestly believe that England have been playing some of the best football they have ever played recentley.
Each player just seems to get better which is a good sign for England. Gerrard is well organised and they have other organised team members such as Cesc & P.ZeN.
Since the last training camp was held on the 19th october '2008 i have heard nothing but praise for the England manager after it was the most successful training camp so others have said.
England will be looking to brush Czech Republic aside as expected but i very much doubt it will be an easy game for the English as all teams in this competitions have entered Euro 2008 with full ammunition.

Finland. Clear cut favourites of this competition no doubt, they're the host nation and creators of this game, you can't really say nothing else but i don't think anyone should think that Finland will 100% win this competition.
Many teams who are Finnish owned and successful in the Javaball table are getting filled with players from countrys such as Czech, England, Netherlands & Poland.
It's a big advantage for the other countries as they will know what there capable of and arn't strangers to the Finnish playing style.

Netherlands. Hmm, well i'd say there quite evenly matched with the English. I mean they both have a community in Javaball which is growing. And i'd say there players are just as good as anyone else's.
Overmars an EX-English player will know the England team inside out should these two teams meet at a later date.
We could class Netherlands as second favourites in this competition, but the only thing that puts them 3rd in my eyes is that 4-2 friendly defeat in July this year.
Again a very strong squad is on the cards which we all know Overmars will do his best to pick the right players.

Should this be an entertaining and fun competition? I should hope so!

Thanks.

Gerrard's team of the week 2!

NOTE: PLEASE CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A CLEARER AND LARGER VIEW

Defence from left to right:

Pique - One of Hertha BSC Berlin most valuable players and definatly one of there most loyalist players. Over the past week Pique has been starting in crucial matches like against Portsmouth, FC Telkkä and Nokian Palloseura. Against Portsmouth, Pique was forced to play defence, helping Hertha BSC Berlin to go strong on Pompey. Pique saved Hetha a numberous times but came out with an unlucky result. Pique went into a game vs FC Telkkä having being 1-0 down after 2 mins. 6 mins later Pique equalized with an astonishing effort from outside the box what found the ball in the back of FC Telkkä's net making it 1-1 at Half time. That game ended in a 4-4 draw. Pique faced the Soccer Kiekko IS Cup double champions Nokian Palloseura. Pique only played 5 mins and in those 5 mins Hertha BSC Berlin found themselves 2-0. Pique was forced to be subbed off and the game came to a 3-2 defeat for Hertha BSC Berlin. Pique has also fended off interest from other teams such as Portsmouth and Arsenal.

V.ConE - Probably the best defender in the game. This player dosn't supprise people if hes in Gerrards team of the week. He gives 100% effort in all games he plays and it takes some doing to break through the Nevarit defence. V.ConE who's only scored 4 and assisted 21 has got to be the best Nevarit defender. With vitual wins thanks to V.ConE against Portsmouth, Union Deportiva Las Palmas and Nokian Palloseura. V.ConE has shown his tallent against all of these clubs and keeping Nevarits conceded goals low.

Gerrard - Since Gerrard is back from his Xbox 360, Gerrard had 2 things on his mind. These was make Liverpool active & manage a sucessful England team to Euros. Liverpool are now actuve due to the new signings of Maxi, Bonera, Lumcak and many more by Gerrard. Gerrard and Liverpool's first game back took his team out to face Hooligan's Poland. After 40 seconds Liverpool found themselves ahead by a goal from Maxi. Hooligan's Poland decided to leave after that goal went in. The same day, Gerrard and Liverpool faced the English team giants Arsenal in a 4v4 match which came to a 7-4 victory for the Scousers. Liverpool then faced Hooligan's Poland again and gave them a thrashing 6-2 in a 5v5 game. Gerrard played 20:00 mins in all of these matches. Liverpool went into a 5v5 against the unstoppable Union Deportiva Las Palmas. In the first 10 mins Union Deportiva Las Palmas was all over Liverpool shooting from left right and centre. Gerrard saved Liverpool from being 3-0 down in the first half from a unbeleivable block off the line by Santiago and a clearence off the line from Korte. Liverpool was defeated that match 2-0.

Midfields from Left to Right:

Svensson - Svensson is also a member of Hertha BSC Berlin like Pique and is also one of Hertha BSC Berlin valuable players like Pique. Svensson has been scoring in the most vitual games on Soccer Kiekko like a unbeleivable hattrick vs the giants Nevarit which lead into a 3-3 draw. Also scoring a unstoppable equalizer vs Portsmouth what unluckly ended in a 2-1 defeat. Svensson already netting 56 goals and assisted 19 is coming up to be a promising Finnish midfielder. We are looking forward to see more of him

Rossi - Rossi is a new member of the league giants Nokian Palloseura and already scored 15 goals and assisted 13. Rossi also known as Red is well known now for his promising midfield role which he enjoys playing in. The finnish star has been scoring goals left right and centre for NoPS including the winner against Union Deportiva Las Palmas what saw NoPS win 3-2. Also being 2-0 down against Hertha BSC Berlin Rossi decided to take incharge and scoring 4 mins into the second half. After seeing his team mate aat5i who was in last weeks team of the week scoring from the spot, Rossi scored the winning goal in dieing moments.

Santiago - Ever since Santiago created his club Recreartivo Huelva, Santiago has improved to be one of the best on the game. Now that Recreartivo Huelva is close Santiago decided to join Union Deportiva Las Palma which he seems comfortable in. Already finding the back of the net 32 times in under a week is some sort of achievment. It has been known that Santiago has the best stats on the game having over +3,000! Santiago who missed out in the friendly vs England will sure to be in the Finland national squad in the Euros!

Centre attack

Toulalan - Toulalan is one goal machine. He cannot stop scoring, hes been on fire for Holy Divers and somone has to put him out or he'll be a threat in the Euros! Toulalan who's always had Holy Divers in his heart has netted 293 goals and created 133. Toulalan being the lone striker for Holy Divers saw them cruise past Liverpool in a 8-4 victory. Toulalan scored 5 that match. Also Toulalan netted 2 goals against Portsmouth which Holy Divers kept a clean sheet. Holy Divers had the last laugh against Nevarit when they managed to crush Blisters boys in an 8-2 victory which he found the back of the net twice.

England stars caught on video doing the YMCA!

Gerrard and his England boys has been seen in the dressing room before a training session singing and dancing to YMCA! The England manager was also involved in this by encouraging others to get up and dance before the camp.

Gerrard after saw this footage and said to the video producer 'It was all fun and games and nobody got hurt'

We thank Pique for spending time and putting quality into this video

NOTE: There is also a mysterious legend who is now retired and no longer play hiding at the end of the video doing some MACHO MOVES! See if you can spot him :)

Thanks

JBO is 1 month old

It's been a successful first month at Javaball Online, we've reported stories that people are enjoying to read. And stories that people did not find amusing.
But in all, we're doing quite well overall.
We've got Cesc & Gerrard who are reporting a little more often that what they actually were. But as you all know we're still crying out for more reporters, as i'm trying to post stories but i'm getting less time to do these stories due to events away from the internet.
If we could get about another one or two active authors for JBO which should be fairly stable, but still it's all good and we thank you for your continued support of Javaball and we hope you continue reading.

Thanks a lot!

Lupoli to Berlin?

Reports from an unknown source suggest that Hertha BSC Berlin are going to make a move for Arsenal player Lupoli.
When will the torment stop?

Is AC Arto's challenge for the title fading?

Is it fading?

I should think so.
If you look at there recent record they've only won 2 of there last 9 ranked matches, and they've been wins against teams like Marna Snaha & "poland teams" no disrespect to them, but there not the most hardiest of teams to beat now days.

It's been a big disapointment for me watching ACA shoot there way up the table into 4th, but then drop into 13th postion which has really proven to be a regular postion for them in recent weeks.

I think there missing Zaroza. The fin has scored 5 in his last 5 ranked games for ACA, even though that isn't a very special record to hold to your name, he is still the kind of player that lights up matches.

There's a lot to be done at ACA for them to regain there top 6 spot.

England star P.ZeN has announced what his lineup would be in the Euro's!

England's international star P.ZeN has announced today what he beleives the strongest England line-up for 2008's Euro.

P.ZeN explained that there is no Overmars due to him being the Holland manager. As the matter of fact he would of been starting Overmars in the back 3 for Euro.

P.ZeN has gone for the famous England's 3-3-1 formation what we have used for the past 4 internationals. This time he beleives the midfield needs to support the attack much more and make the play abit more spread out. This means not everyone going for the ball also known as ball following.

Gerrard's team of the week!

From now onwards, every Friday myself (Gerrard) will be studying on all the players very closley and will pick a team of the week. To be in the team of the week you must have a posative attitude. This dosn't mean getting muted every day. You must perform well and must be a team player!

I do not go for the people who are stars. I go for the people who has performed the best and who has improved the most!

Heres is this weeks team of the week!

Javaball: Transfers, rumours & gossip

Hertha BSC Berlin enter Pakki & Morpe to there books

Hertha BSC Berlin have been linked with Holy Divers defenders Pakki & Morpe and also an unamed player who has almost signed a deal at Hertha BSC Berlin according to reports we've recieved from head scout Pique.

"We're looking at experienced defensive options to add to our current group and either one of pakki or Morpe possibly both fit the mold perfectly.
I can also say we have another fresh talent on its way 80% sure it will be soon, i think all that is holding the deal back is the contract".

Liverpool begin autumn clear out, eye Isagoff & Tedesco & unnamed winger.

"Myself and planktoni today was having a discussion about Liverpool. We decided we are going to kick the unactive not so good players and bring new players in. The not so inactive people like Pumba & Baros will not be kicked due to them being very valuable members of the team. I asked planktoni if hes eyeing up some more people and he said hes very close friends with the old ReHu (Recreartivo Huelva) days without any English. He has also been trying to invite players into Liverpool.
We also beleive that Isagoff & Tedesco are at higher standards to be at Hertha BSC Berlin and we will be offering a contract to them some time soon.
And I have also advised planktoni an English international winger who I shall not name and he has some intrest on this player. Hes very unhappy at the club he plays for now."

Portsmouth back in for Lupoli?

Reports suggest that Lupoli and Cesc had a bust-up in an earlier team meeting, and Portsmouth are now monitoring the situation.
If Lupoli joins he wont only return to his old club, but he will also be the 4th English player to join Portsmouths new ERA.

Euro 2008 Draw: Date announced

The spectator Euro 2008 draw date has been announced.

The draw will take place at 20:08 (FIN) 18:08 (GMT) on 11 October '08.

29 Days to go! we're nearly there.

A legend club dies, another is resurected!

As the news broke yesterday that legend club Recreartivo Huelva had closed.
Today it looks as though Portsmouth are back.

Portsmouth gained 1198.77 ranking points whilst being open not so long ago 10 wins 4 draws and only 4 losses, they were a team on fire but as Tor closed there was no hope of Pompey coming back. Untill now!
As Tor (Better know as Viera) has now brang back Portsmouth they have signed such stars as England striker pia and defender Ronåldo, Maxi has also joined meaning there is now 3 English players in the squad.
I think now that Portsmouth are back there will be competition around the top 7 spaces in the weeks to come, though 4-4 & 6-6 draws in 4v4 matches haven't proved there on fire since they've been back. AC Arto being the only team they've played since there resurrection.

Liverpool signs Unobe!

Liverpool today has finally announced the confirmation of the new signing Unobe from Recreartivo Huelva. After Santiago releasing all the players apart from himself, Unobe comes straight into Liverpool invited by Liverpool's very own planktoni. Planktoni who was once a Recreartivo Huelva player and is on the hall of fame has managed to intrest top players to Anfield.

Could Liverpool's losing nightmares come to an end? Well the past 4 games Liverpool has played they have managed to beat teams like; Arsenal (4-1) Hertha BSC Berlin (6-1) Union Deportiva Las Palmas (5-0) and in a rank game Deportivo La Coruna (7-5).

Unobe who has been very loyal to Recreartivo Huelva after scoring 659 goals for the club and assisted 367 which has to be one of the greatest legends of Recreartivo Huelva. For some reason Santiago has still not added Unobe to the hall of fame list.

Lets hope Unobe settles in his new club at Liverpool and we are looking forward to see the partnership of planktoni & Unobe back in the days.

Match Report: Slovakia 2 - 3 Czech Republic

Slovakia 2 - 3 Czech Republic

As there was no match preview of this game due to the unorganised side of this game, so we've decided to jump straight to the match report itself.
Slovakia took on Czech Republic, but it wasn't going to be easy for neither teams.

A minute played a Sluka already causing problems for the Czech defence, the Slovakian striker smacks the ball onto the post a great opportunity should of been 1-0 to Slovakia.
Slovakia finally opened up the scoreline in the 2nd minute of the game, after a tap a strike from the Slovakian striker Sluka. A lot of confusion in the box for a corner saw Slovakian defender Karhan nearly put the ball into his own net with a header, but -walcott- got the ball into the net eventually after the rebound was tapped in 1-1.
As things could not get any better for Karhan, things just got worse he almost scored an own-goal earlier, but he suceeded this time around. He tried clearing the ball off the line but ended up miss-kicking the ball properly which led to him blasting the ball into the roof of his own net 2-1 Czech.
The goal of the game came 4 minutes into the game, a stylish cross into the box from Lumcak saw -Walcott- finish off a superb header to make it 3-1 to the Czech, the stylish football they were playing ment that in my eyes that had burried this game.
It wasn't the case though after 15 minutes played, the first bit of action we'd of seen for 10 minutes Sluka getting his second goal of the game for Slovakia 3-2 game on.
The game finished 3-2 to Czech Republic, there was chances... M.Stoch shaving the crossbar from a 25-yard strike for Slovakia. M.Stoch also missed a neat chance but was intercepted by Czech defender S.Vlcek.

Statement from Arsenal FC: Lupoli & Bergkamp Return to The Emirates Stadium

Arsenal can Confirm the Signing of Arsenal-legend and Record club goalscorer Lupoli from Recreartivo Huelva after ReHu owner Santiago decided to release everybody except himself from the team perhaps in an Exodus or a decision to leave the team.

We also have gained the Signature of one of our best and most consistent defenders of last season Bergkamp, the exodus of ReHu has only sped up the return of the duo.

This might spark some controversy as we do not allow any usage of Multinicks in our club and we don't stop traditions for anyone so all these signings have been given STRICT ruling to not ever use these Multinick accounts whilst a part of our club, They may only keep these Nicks for the purpose of reserving for the VIP service of changing usernames in the future.

Cesc

Cesc's Thoughts on Arsenal's Progress so far..

Hello Javaball Online readers..

This ones for the Arsenal, things have been tough no doubt, It's all been hard work and determination which has got us through the period where many would have given up and thrown away the key.

I think we set a fine example to clubs looking to build for the future with good and solid foundations, Recently we have accomplished massive wins against the likes of Hertha BSC Berlin and Union Deportiva Las Palmas which has proven our new tactics of Beautiful passing football right.

We look to move on and build from here and I'm very happy with our new signings contributing massively to our possession play, Defensively I see room for improvement, As for the transfer market, things look to be moving in the right direction for a few players I won't mention as of yet.

Cesc

Isagoff player of the month for september' 08

Everyone at JBO would like to congratulate Isagoff for being the Javaball Online player of the month for September.
JBO chose him after his amazing form both in reg and for his club Hertha BSC Berlin, the Fin has struck 17 goals for his new club, and assisting 7.

Isagoff was voted in the end clear favourite gaining 44.4% of the votes, we would also like to congratulate Apkamgbo after getting the runners-up award for player of the month September' 08, he got 22.2% of the count.

The quality of regs (Part 2)

I was sent this screenshot from Blister, now this is more or less the same as Malawi's screenshot and proof that it is getting quite out of hand where "javaball wrestling" is concerned.
There cant be a rule against it as it is up to the players postioning, but myself at Javaball Online would like to give you some advice... FIND SPACE!!!
It's quite annoying watching a handfull of players running for one ball, just to see someone take a shot and get the offside shout from the linesman. Then you obviously hear the "omg, ffs, pois noob!", from one of the players in the box going for the ball. It's not only there fault, it's your fault as well.
Just remember for the fun of the game, find space so there is more opportunities to pass & score.

(Thanks to Blister for the screenshot)

The quality of regs...

Hmm, i saw this earlier on soccer.urli.net.
Basically i can see where Malawi is coming from, the games in reg arn't very realistic, nor has the team play skill like most top clubs have now days on Javaball.
This pic you see atleast 90% of the players all going for 1 ball with only a couple of players in space.
I think players should start learning more about there postion and play as a team, even in a reg.

(Thanks to Malawi for this screenshot)

Grant feels "mistreated"

Arsenal & England striker Grant has told JBO that he feels mistreated at Arsenal.

It's been a tough old ride for Arsenal, their form is unacceptable and it seems that Grant is being "mistreated" according to himself.
"All i want to do is settle into a club, i'm fed up with moving about its just making me look unloyal. When i joined Futismaailma i thought to myself it is gonna take something half decent to lure me away from the club but as they became unactive i got a phone call from Arsenal telling me they were intrested. I moved to Arsenal things were looking up, i scored on my debut. But then a dark cloud started to rise we were losing matches that were just totally embarrasing, a club like Arsenal should atleast be top 10, not challenging for a top 20 postion.
Myself as a player likes to play in a role that if i see an effort, i take it. I aint had any problems at any other club with it but it seems that Arsenal dont like me to play like that, i've tried to adapt to there game but it just isn't working. I feel mistreated i'm a striker and i believe i need to do what i need to do to score goals."

Grant has netted 19 goals for his club in a long period of time.
More problems are developing for Arsenal, nothing seems to be getting any better.

International Friendly: Poland 10 – 5 Czech Republic

Czech Republic took on Poland in an international friendly basically for the Czech to warm-up for Euro 2008, which starts soon.
Poland pressed on a strong Czech defence but relunctant to see D.Silva make it 1-0 for the Czech just over a minute played.
The Czech were showing there strength with good passing & opportunities but Bochen13 equalized not even a minute after the Czech took the lead. Valdi made it 2-1 to Poland thanks to a pass from Bochen13, what a game he had been having and there was only 3 minutes on the clock. Poland began to press even more gaining an overwhelming 57% of the possession at half-time, 3-3 when the referee blew for half time.
Poland manager dakra4 must of had words of wisdom at half-time as Poland came out to score 6 goals in 5 minutes really to put the match out of reach for the Czech, this was a team that should of been entered in Euro2008 for more competition.
Sverkos managed to pull back 2 goals to make it 9-5, but Smurf shut up shop after he made it 10-5 to Poland.
A thrilling game indeed, final score. Poland 10 - 5 Czech Republic.

Statement from Javaball Online

Statement from Javaball Online

JBO would like to apologize after our immature act with the whole "P.ZeN exposed subject".
This is not what we're about, we bring you news on the Javaball game and try to make humour out of it so viewers are intrested in what they're reading. This was not the case with the P.ZeN saga, we did not know nor think that anything would esculate but we understand that it is our fault for not asking the victim for permission.

Both posts concerning this will be edited to an apologie, and we would like to apologize to P.ZeN and its readers.

Instead JBO will bring in a structure called "21 questions" where staff writers will ask 21 questions to Javaball players or staff.
This will be coming in the near future.

Once again we would like to make it clear about our apologie, and we hope you continue to enjoy the JBO read.

Regards, Grant.

Arsenal back on track, boring day for posting.

Well, the only news i can bring today is that Arsenal are slowly starting to edge back on track. They've won 4 of there last 5 matches, they still lack a bit in places but heck it's much better than there matches before this on-form streak they've had.

Liverpool, now Arsenal!?

Since the last report of Liverpool's unsuccessful spell they're having, it seems now that Arsenal are now under the hammer.
Many players have left the club after the shocking 8-3 defeat to Spain.
Arsenal at the moment are a fully English team after Bochen13 the most recent player to have left the Emirates. Arsenal are in 16th postion and are screaming for help, Cesc is not happy, and neither are the players.

What is happening to Liverpool?

If you look on paper at the squad Liverpool have got, they should be a top 4 team challenging with the likes of Nevarit & Nokian Palloseura for that 1st spot.
But recent results have been a problem, 4v4 or in this case a 5v5.
There last two rank matches have been failures losing 5-0 twice to Recreartivo Huelva, infact they've only won 7 of all 33 matches played.

Now, most of the people who disagree will think, well all they do is play top 4 teams. But still look at there team on paper? EX-Nevarit players such as Clinton & Gallardo.
What's next for the scousers? They're bringing in the right players, but there is something wrong. Is there conflict between players? or even the manager. Maybe it's time for a change? Who knows, but for one thing, the reds need to shake up!

The start of a British revolution? as Usko joins Nevarit! and other rumours

Today Usko completed the £6.5m move from Hypnotize to Nevarit.
The England defender not long joined Hypnotize on a free transfer from failed team BMCFC, but now has become the second player to join Nevarit.
My personal opinion is, Is this a start of the British revolution at Nevarit? We've seen P.ZeN and now Usko. Who's next? Lupoli spent time at Nokian Palloseura. Nevarit could be following this up.

P.ZeN commented on todays transfer.

"I am very pleased that he has decided to leave Hypnotize for Nevarit. I understand it was a tough decision but the Hypnotize team knew it would make him a better player in the long run. Ive been in many teams with Pete and enjoyed every minute, I look forward to the future."

As for the British revolution?

"Personally I think that Blister will not chose any more English players, usually when you have one too many English players in a team there tends to be arguments. Nevarit is not looking for tension between players so were going to keep it to a minimum."

It's going to be very intresting seeing these two in particular, but think of this. Will we be seeing as macho videos of Usko? Lets hope not! but time will tell i suppose.

Overmars to Arsenal?

Hmm, well it's a rumour i refuse to rule out, i mean its everything that Arsenal need. He's an ex-Arsenal boy at there shall we say "bitter" rivals, and knows Arsenal inside out. Arsenal are in a pickle with there defence at the moment so could we be seeing the lad from Nottingham on the train to the Emirates.

Also, SIMUNIC TO ARSENAL? My opinion, that is the next step for Arsenal, there defence would be complete, and there aims should then be focused on a high postion in the league. Watch this space...

Nevarit are back... so are Arsenal!

Last night mac33 a Nevarit player, decided to delete Nevarit for a reason which was not stated. But now the creator of Javaball (Jouko) has "un-deleted" the team to restore Nevarit with its stats & players.

Blister, the team captain went on to say:
"I'm pretty happy that Nevarit are back, but i'm not angry with mac33. It's hard to get angry with someone who has been at the club for a long time, and he will always been a player well known at the club. I'm glad everything is back to normal, so bring on the next game!"

Also, today Cesc has left AC Arto 92 to go back to his home team Arsenal.

The England assistant manager has signed players such as könönen. Costa from Hertha Berlin, and the shock of Grant after the back-up England striker stated that Futismaaila would be his last club.

Nevarit deleted!

At around 21:45 (GMT) (23:45 FIN), if not THE BIGGEST club on Javaball has been deleted by mac33.
Mac33 has suprised many of us by deleting a team once he loved, and also he has deleted his nickname along with it. Since this happend a around half an hour ago we at JBO asked Blister why did mac33 delete Nevarit?

"I think he had something to prove, but at the end of the day i will be remaking Nevarit."

This has to be one of the shocks in the history of Javaball. Nevarit was created 24' April 2007 by Xylitol. They played an amazing 274 games, winning 200, drawing 17 and only losing 57.

Both Blister & P.ZeN have been left speechless, we tried to talk to P.ZeN on the matter but we got the reply "im not in mood for interview, some other time".
Whilst Blister gave us the traditional "Uh, Hmm..."

Still, goodtimes lie ahead, maybe the stats have been deleted of the club, but the history will always remain there for Nevarits to come.

Statement from Wikipedia

Representatives from Javaball Online are negotiating a deal which
could see Wikipedia become part of Javaball Onlines structure.

As negotiations went on from this morning to this afternoon for Javaball & Wikipedia
to work together to come to an agreement on Wikipedia accepting an offer from Javaball
to create another structure on there site. It looks as though now the negotations
have failed, after a representative of Wikipedia released a statement.

"As you may already know, Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia written by
its readers. The subjects for our articles are generally chosen by the editing
community rather than by request.
However, a request for an article creation on oneself is likely to be
declined.

It is also important to note that the community strongly discourages articles
written by individuals close to a subject because of the difficulty in writing
objectively about your organization, yourself, your family, or your work."

Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia and feel free to get back in touch
with us with any further comments or questions.

Yours sincerely,
Jim Redmond"

Hopes were running high at JBO when chairman Grant said that if this offer is
accepted, it will take JBO to the next level.

Negotiations are looking like they've ended, but JBO are still on the hunt for
sponsorship deals.

JBO negotiate with Wikipedia

Representatives from Javaball Online are negotiating a deal which could see Wikipedia become part of Javaball Onlines structure.

Wikipedia who is an online encyclopedia could be tempted to join Javaball Online to see a whole new database be setup by Wikipedia.

That database could include Information & History on Javaball. Players & Team profiles and even information on players & teams.
Sources close to this negotiation say that both groups are in early signs of an agreement.

We will bring you more on this story, as it happens.

Real Life: Newcastle United for sale on Ebay!

I had been searching through Ebay today, and randomly typed in "Newcastle United" for a laugh, but i nearly fell off my chair laughing to see that Newcastle were for sale on Ebay hahaha.

Yes it's obviously a joke that someone has put on there, but it shows how desperate some clubs are getting.
