First Season
The Clifton Patriots formed as a fantasy team spin off of the SYA Clifton Patriots, an real life succesful soccer team founded in 2001. The team is techincally located in the state of Virginia, but because of it in more of a Washington D.C. enviornment the fantasy team enrolled into the Washington D.C. league.
In August of 2006 the club started playing in Division 6, League 561 with 8 other soccer clubs. However the first match for this team was against FC Beantown, from Boston. They challenged the Patriots and the Patriots lost 0-3 at Red Bull Arena. Recently it has tried to get a challenge against Chicago oBuLLs that play in Division 6, League 561, and the greatest loosers. Recently the club has withdrawed these challenges and are planning to arrange a friendly against YoUr MoMa. None were successful.
During its first regular season game against Goonerez, the Patriots won 1-0 at Site Works Inc. Stadium in front of a crowd of 1,587 at the 12,000 seater stadium. There currently league rank is 4,569. Their second game was a lose to the razor rednecks 1-4. The team rebounded with a 3-2 win over Home$lices. The team is currently tied for 3rd place.
On September 6, 2006 the Patriots traveld to Galacia to play f.c. luckor. They lost very badly 8-0.
Throughout October 2006 the club traveled to United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Romania to play in international friendlies against international powerhouse clubs. Sadly the team never won a game, the best they did was a 2-0 loss the Spainish powerhouse, Real Jafezo; in front of about 45,000 fans.
November 2006 they shocked their league by beating Biancernari29 2-1. Later the team was critized of overworking their players in their practices, later that month firing the coach Matamorois Rios, of Mexico. Later the club hired Archie Coghlan, a British coach who many fans claim to be worse than the last coach. Later the team suprisgliny lost to their rival they beat a month ago 2-0, but lost 1-3 against them angering fans.
As the season ended things for the Patriots quieted down for a few weeks. Though as December 2006 approached the Clifton Patriots prepped for their first game in the U.S. Open Cup. The team had to play the Division III powerhouse club FC Sarajevo United. Sadly the team lost pitfully 1-8 against the club, with a goal coming from Rick Harris in the 33rd minute. Shockinly that made it 1-1.
