Enjoy the game, buddy. I'm looking forward to your progress!
Jay Mo and Nimes Olympique started the season with three friendlies. The team went 1-1-1. In the first match at home to LA Florida (ACSI) Nimes was badly outplayed but the game was nil-nil until the 85th minute when LA Florida scored. In the 89th minute Maoulida scored to tie the game at 1. However two minutes into extra time LA Florida scored the winner and won the match 2-1.
The 2nd friendly of the season saw Nimes head to FC Thun to take on a fairly even matched team. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. Nimes had 12 shots on goal as compared to 6 by FC Thun but FC Thun's goalie was named man of the match for three outstanding saves.
In the last friendly before the opening of league play, Nimes hosted Zulte Waregem. Nimes was the far superior squad in this match and it showed. Nimes outshot the opposition 16-3 and carried 51% of the possession. The only goal however came in the 8th minute when striker Maoulida scored on a beautiful through ball. That's two goals for Maoulida during the friendlies.
Breaking news...
After scoring two goals in friendly competition, striker Maoulida is now pondering retirement at the end of the season. He will make up his mind later in the year. This is bad news for Nimes as he is the 31 goal scorer for the team. a team which lacks strikers and an offensive punch.
With the announcement of pending retirement, Nimes has reached out to strikers Theo Robinson and Simeon Jackson. The asking prices for each is between $350,00 and $450,00.
Match Day One:
Nimes Olympique vs. Clermont Foot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2odFjURH1Xw
This game was absolutely bizarre. Nimes won 3-0 but the bigger story was that Clermont played most of the game with only 9 players as in the first half they lost two men to red cards. Nonetheless, Jay Mo's career starts with a home win.
Good start, brother. :up:
Breaking news... Nimes Olympique officially made an offer for Canadian striker Simeon Jackson. The 27 year old striker playing for Coventry finds himself as part of a bidding war between three other clubs. Nimes has the largest transfer offer on the table for $350,000.
Update: Coventry has accepted the offer. Nimes has now offered Jackson a weekly wage of $5,000. He is currently considering the offer.
Update 2: If Jackson declines, plans are in the works to make a run for Theo Robinson.
Match Day Two:
Nimes Olympique @ Angers SCO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kem2UykqCQI&list=PL4yGEiR3WByBzbr6YwqJgQTy 1ApMmtMP4&index=1
Nimes gets their second win of the campaign with a solid 1-0 win over a vastly inferior Angers squad.
Breaking news...
Canadian striker Simeon Jackson has agreed to terms and signed a 3 year contract with Nimes Olympique. Jackson will wear #10. It is believed he will be a starting striker in Nimes next match (cup match versus US Orleans). Some people in the media question the acquisition though Jay Mo believes that Jackson will provide another option up front and take some of the pressure off Maoulida.

Nimes Olympique has announced a nw signing to its youth academy. Today the club announced 15 year old Pablo Munoz from Spain. The 5'3' 143 pound Munoz can play RM or striker and has all the markings of a franchise type player.
Coupe de Ligue Match One:
Nimes Olympique vs US Orleans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WV8CLAaX3M
Simeon Jackson got his first taste of life in Nimes and he made a real impression on the fans scoring one goal and recording an assist. Nimes recorded a big win and move on in the tourney. Ownership rewarded management with an increase to the transfer budget.
Match Day Three:
Nimes Olympique vs. Cham. Niortais
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiEwM4CUyA8
Another impressive victory for Nimes Olympique. Another 3-0 win and another clean sheet. Nimes finds itself in a tie at the top of the table with 9 points. Simeon Jackson recorded another goal for his new club.
Match Day Four:
Nimes Olympique at Stade Brest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnJB0QWDcJs
Nimes drops their first match of the season in a 3-1 loss to Stade Brest. Two penalty kicks and an own goal... ugly games for Nimes!
MatchDay Five:
Nimes Olympique vs FC Tours
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwJYTnc-8DY
Nimes pulls out a hard fought 2-0 victory. Backup keeper Kasparian gets the clean sheet. He has been discontent of late so that may bring his spirits up.
Nimes tried to make multiple moves before the transfer window closed but the team lacked resources to do so. On the brightside the pickup of Simeon Jackson has been massive. He currently leads the team in goals and assists.
Match Day Six:
Nimes Olympique vs ES Troyes
Battle for the top of the table! Here is the whole match in it's entirety.

The was an epic battle but if you want the cheat sheet check the spoiler...
Spoiler: show
P. Vlachodimos is close to returning from injury. Originally diagnosed as being out for 4 weeks, the team has not played as well at Midfield without his presence.
I was having a bit of trouble identifying Ligue 2 teams and their locales until I found this map.

Notable for the match, backup Keeper Kasparian gets his second match of the season. Jay Mo thought the squad need a bit of a shakeup. Well, the gamble paid off as Kasparian earned a clean sheet and Nimes blew out AS Nancy by a score of 4-0. The game was a total domination in everyway shape and form. Jackson continues to impress since his arrival as he added another two goals to his tally. He is now a league leader in goals! With the win Nimes Olympique moves into 2nd place while AS Nancy drops to 5th.
