We'd barely got our feet under the desk at HQ Team USA before we secured the nation's slot at Portugal 2030. There were jubilant scenes across the US as fans took to the streets of soccer hotbeds Atlanta, Miami and New York to express their excitement at their boys reaching the World Soccer Super Bowl.
Khaliza Unidi have just wrapped up a second successive Liga Regale title and reached the final of the Champions League for the first time. So it's time to reflect on an exciting season in Khaliza.
Welcome to a brand new thread of my Journeyman save that focuses on my exploits in charge of the United States of America. If you've been reading our Saving Sporting and Vamos Valencia series already then thank you!
On the back of a second successive league and cup double, Valencia CF's efforts to rebuild were somewhat hampered by a lack of finances. That meant putting our trust in youth while the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid went on made spending sprees. Things were about to get a bit tricky...
Khaliza Unidi were in touching distance of defending their maiden Aswijan Liga Regale title, six points clear at the top with two games in hand on Aswijan Malikiy.
Valencia CF had just secured back-to-back titles in emphatic style, undefeated and racking up 102 points. We backed that up by completing the double-double, also winning the Copa del Rey for the second successive season.
After winning their first ever league title in 2023/34, Khaliza Unidi had made a solid start in defending it. After 11 games, we were unbeaten and had just defeated the evil force of Aswijan's dominant, child poaching big boys Aswijan Malikiy.
With 12 games remaining of Valencia CF's title defence, a tense title battle looked to be in store. Despite still being unbeaten we were just one point ahead of Barcelona, who just so happen to be our first opponents in this post.
Khaliza Unidi had just become the champions of Aswijan for the first time, and a little work was required to strengthen for a title defence.
Twelve games into a first title defence since 2004, Valencia CF were unbeaten and just one point off pacesetters Barcelona moving into November 2028.
