Coach Talk

Vikes
Mission accomplished, Vikes. Good job assembling a team that netted over 132 points in Week 5. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Bad Ilaj, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Mistrzostwa Polski - Liga F league championship.
Bad Ilaj
There's still a ton of time left to turn this season around, Bad Ilaj! The next few opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with your strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
