Bug in the english patch specifically for the end of match 3 has been confirmed. Until I can figure out exactly what went wrong, use this save to skip match 3 and move to the start of match 4:

Apologies for the inconvenience.
Edit: Okay, that was quicker than I thought it would be.
Touhou Soccer Moushuuden Translation Patch v1.01

I don't know what my version is patched to. I guess I'll go looking for this 2.18 patch then...though if you have a link handy it could save some time for when I inevitably can't find it.
Go to the Hachikuma patch download site (
http://www.hachikuma.net/Download.html#g181c3f9), download "2-16-0(一括)/THS2_2-g-0b.exe" and "猛蹴伝のパッチ(2-18-0)/THS2_2-i-0a.exe" and install them respectively onto a fresh install of the game. If you get errors, make sure to remove English.pak and restore the old copy of System.ini before you run the patch installers.
i have patched version.i have all those fonts and i have tried using jap regional and applocale.still no text on dialogue
Does the dialogue display in Japanese if you remove the English patch? To be honest though, I have no idea what the problem is in your case if it isn't a font, regional settings or unpatched version problem. Sorry I can't be of much help.
My game version is 2.18 and I played as far as the end of the Hakurei section of the main story with no english patch and no crashes.
As for the Alice match, the game either crashes when I am winning and the last quarter of the match is about to end or I have won and it freezes right at the beginning of the winning dialogue sequence. Something I noticed when I won the match last time I could have sworn the commentator said that Alice's team won instead (I was winning 5-1).
I've not been able to replicate any crash while in the middle of a match, so if it keeps persisting, let me know with more details if at all possible.
