Nothing to Lose: The Name says it All

They came to the last tournament with a team consisting of mismatched players and aptly named themselves, "Nothing to Lose". Unlike other teams, they had no high expectations of victory. They simply came to play for the love of the game, not having a care about winning or losing. Their only claim to fame is defeating Tombeau Bay FC 3 - 1 in a highly controversial match.

Finishing last with an unimpressive record, not many would dare to attend the tournament again. However, these men remain undaunted and are willing to stand toe-to-toe against the giants of the Champions Cup. They are willing to put their bodies on the line to test the mettle of these so-called champions.

With former captian Kenny "Cha Cha" How missing in action, Laurent Li has stepped up to take the reigns and lead Nothing to Lose. The team is made of the following players:
Laurent Li (captain)
Charles Li
Edouard Whan Kan
Nicolas Chung
Glen Sheo
Wallace Loo
Matthew Edwards

The team is almost unrecognizable as it has changed considerably. The only two original members are Laurent Li and Nicolas Chung. Notably Edouard Whan Kan is the veteran ex-Tombeau Bay FC goal-keeper who conceded the least number of goals in the Winter 2009 Tournament (equaled by Kenny Lam playing for The Replacements) and Glen Sheo captain of Sh*t Kickers, semi-finalists in the last tournament.

In the Spring 2009 Tournament, they come again with nothing to lose, but with such a considerable change in line up and the addition of experienced players, they not only have nothing to lose, but also everything to gain.
