Match Preview: MOBA Looks to Extend Win Streak to 3 Games

Peachtree City's Yellow and Black are looking to gain another three points on the road as they face Tormenta FC in the final Georgia PDL Clásico as Tormenta FC will be joining USL Division III in 2019. Entering the derby, MOBA is hoping to build off their two consecutive wins against Memphis City FC to extend their winning streak and climb the table past the Birmingham Hammers.

After five games into the season, MOBA sits in fourth place in the Deep South Division of the Southern Conference with a record of 2-1-2 and eight points. The Yellow and Black are currently having their best start to a PDL season and sit in fourth place, only behind third placed Birmingham Hammers because of goal difference. MOBA has shown that they have the potential to achieve great things on the pitch and the fans will be hoping they can continue in their good vein of form against Tormenta.

Tormenta is undefeated with a record of 4-0-1 and sit in second place and they've scored ten goals while conceding four goals at the other end. The first meeting of the 2018 season between these two sides ended in an exciting draw one month ago on May 12th in Peachtree City. That matchup showed that both teams can attack and defend well, but tomorrow's matchup will be a great opportunity for both teams to climb the table and show their potential.

Keys to Success:
  • Stay focused: It may still be early in the season, but this current group of players has a real chance to create club history. This is the most successful start to a season in MOBA history, so manager Omar Jarun will want to stress that the players need to stay focused on the task at hand despite their brilliant start. 
  • Stay disciplined: This derby is known to have fireworks and drama. The last meeting between these two teams was an open match with end to end goals and had two penalties, one of which was awarded to Tormenta late into the game. They converted the penalty kick and left Peachtree City with a point. To avoid losing out on three points, MOBA will want to be at the top of their game.

MOBA Soccer Academy Becoming a Hub of PTC Sports

Image
In January 2015, it was announced that the German company MOBA Mobile Automation AG would be meeting with Peachtree City to discuss plans to build a new 50,000 square foot office building and soccer complex on Highway 74. A strange combination of projects, several months later, the project was approved, and construction began almost immediately. In a mere few months, it became arguably one of the best decisions the board has ever made. Fast forward to December 2016, the new MOBA Soccer Academy is nearing completion, and already the effect it was intended to have on Peachtree City sports is being felt. When the idea was proposed, Mr. Volker Harms said he hoped to provide Peachtree City and the surrounding area with an opportunity to unite out on the pitch, and that is just what happened. The facilities aren't even complete, but the fields are, and that's all we need. They may be soccer fields, but that doesn't mean only soccer has to be played on them. Elite Lacro

2016 MOBA Proud MOTY Award

Image
PDL Playoffs kicked off today, thus marking the transition between regular and post season. Now that MOBA's 2016 season is complete, it is finally safe to begin handing out recognition and awards for excellence in the sport, and there is no better prize than receiving the title of 2016 Man of the Year (the association football equivalent of MVP). The sport of football is based around two principles: Pride and Teamwork. However, teamwork does not mean that nobody deserves recognition for outstanding play. A team may work well together and share the ball, but there is always at least one player that truly stands out. And that player, more often than not, receives the Man of the Year award. And so, upon the conclusion of the 2016 Peachtree City MOBA season, the one-man panel here at MOBA Proud would like to recognize a player that met all the standards a MOTY should meet: Salomon Lorenzano. Lorenzano, a native of Peachtree City, started all 14 games for MOBA this year, accrui

Match Preview: Peachtree City Open Second Half of Season Against Memphis

Image
After such a promising start to the year that saw MOBA open 2-1-2 and reach the top of the table, back-to-back 2-0 away losses have sparked some fear that this season may degrade into a carbon copy of the previous two. As a result of the two losses and results across the division, South Georgia Tormenta FC and Mississippi Brilla FC are running away with the division, and if MOBA want to get themselves back into the race, it will require an immediate turn around and some immediate success. Thankfully, Peachtree City have back-to-back home fixtures against the perfect team. A common theme throughout Peachtree City's most recent loss to the Tri-Cities Otters was disorganization. All ten of the field players seemed to be on completely different pages, and it cost them dearly. While there is no official count, MOBA couldn't have completed more than maybe 60% of their passes, as time after time balls were getting played straight into the teeth of the defense.
