  1. That was great. Great performances by the 3, cool story, grean ending.

    Rory being forced to choose between Amy's was just heartbreaking, and just shows how great of a relationship they have built. Despite waiting 36 years, and having to kill her to save her, they are still in love.

  2. After winning promotion with WBA (on the last day, 125 goals scored, 190 in the season as a whole), and after finishing shocking the football world winning the Europa League against Zenit (Miller SHATTERED the record for goals scored in the EL, with 28), came the 2014 World Cup, with me managing Belgium.

    With my starting eleven being this one:

    GK Courtois

    RB Swerts

    LB Deschacht

    CB Boyata

    CB Vermaelen

    DMC Defour

    CM Fellaini

    CM Witsel

    AMC Hazard

    ST Demebele

    ST Lukaku

    Got sorted in to a tight group, with me, Italy, Chile and Iran. Started by beating Iran 3-0 (Lukaku, Dembele and Hazard). In the other game, Chile beat Italy, and made our match, that would be next, the deciding one

    I was really scared of Alexis Sanchez, but he did not play well, and we managed to win 2-0 (Dembele, Hazard). In our final game with Italy, we played a sub team and drew, 1-1 (Lukaku)

    So, in the the 2nd round we go, facing a preyy good Swiss team. We barely pass beat them 3-2 (Lukaku x3), but we managed to win in the final moments of the game. Our surprise story, Canada, fell in penalties against Russia, after a 93rd minute goal from the Russians.

    In the quarters, we faced Serbia and we destroyed them, 4-1 (Lukaku, Hazard, Dembele x2). We were going to take on England, the team with the top scorer so far (Rooney) and a team that destroyed Uruguay 5-0, after the South Americans had beaten Spain

    We went super defensive, playing on the counter. And that worked perfectly, as we beat England 3-0 (Dembele, Mirallas x2). Mirallas was huge off the bench. In the other Semi, Brasil, the home team, beat Portugal by 1-0. We were going to face perhaps the best team in the tournament, a team that was playing at home and that was motivated to win their 6th World Cup

    They would not win. Boyata, in a corner, headed it in and shocked the world, as Belgium, tiny Belgium became the Wrold Champions.

    One of my best achievments ever on FM (on par with winning the World Cup on 08 with Ukraine). We just played a better, more cerebral game than the rest of the teams.

  3. Yeah, gonna get FM12 too. The only one I really passed on was 09, because it was shit and 08 was better.

    So, after 3 season in Benfica, I ended up winning the CL in my last season against Real Madrid. After that, I had to resign, as that was the most I could take that team.

    After resigning, I had several offers (including one from Sparta Roterdam, a team that was in the 2nd Dutch division, were over their salaries budget and had no money to spend). I decided to go to a relegated WBA, just for the fact that they had won the Curling Cup. Sitting at 14th in the League, but I am 6 games back so, if I can win all of those games, I am going to be 1st. Just beat Ipswich to make the Carling Cup semis, and I am in good position to make past the group stage in the Europa League

    Ishmael Miller is just tearing shit up. 30 goals in 23 games, an absolute beast

  4. Started a game with Benfica (I always start one when FM comes out and when the team gets really good in the Summer window)

    Did not manage to win the league in the 1st season, choked down the stretch and lost it to Porto.

    In the 2nd year, after getting Santon on a free and Adebayor for around 6 million euros (and about 775m a month in wages), just clinched the title. Went out in the 1st round of the Champions League to Bayern, no surprise there

    Got a new contract, and I have a very defined goal: If I don't make the Quarter Finals of the Champions League next year, I am leaving in the end of the third season

    My team right now is this:

    GK: Enyeama

    RB: Maxi Pereira

    CB: Luisão

    CB: Garay

    LB: Capdevilla (going to leave in the summer, wants double the wage that he's getting right now, and he's starting to show his age)

    DMC: Javi Garcia

    CM: Axel Witsel (an absolute beast)

    AMC: Bruno César

    LW: Nico Gaitán

    ST: Adebayor

    ST: Cardozo

    Already got some transfers set for next year. Adeba is goint back to England, this time to United, for about 25M €, and already signed Hazard, for 30M. If I can add Defour or Fellaini, that would be wonderful

  5. Not even Porto supporters believe that one. The mais consensus here is that a 35/40M€ offer would be more than enough to get him. He's very very good, but he's not the best player in the team (Falcao and Moutinho are better). It's the fact that he's a physical beast that would get the price to that range, honestly

  6. Posting up guys does not mean that he has a low post game. Dallas defended him with Kidd and Barea, who's a fucking midget, and because he does not have a low post move, he could not make them pay.

    The problem with LeBron having a bad series is that he's the best player in the world, and he has done this 2 years in a row. He had good numbers last year against Boston, but he wuit, and he had a terrible Finals this year.

    But my main problem isn't that. He was killing Boston and Chicago in the 4th quarter, the teams that everyone said would be unbeatable for Miami. He destroyed them, he was attacking the rim, and he was the best defender in both series. Then, that guy vanished. The guy (and the team also, but he's the best player in the team, these are his moments) that in 4 minutes came back from 15 in Chicago, lost after having a huge lead in game 2. Where was that team and mainly, where was that dominance by LeBron?

    And trust me, I want him to be good. I want him to be great. I want to see greatness from him. He hass all the physical tools. He is the most physically dominant wing player ever. He can be one of the best wing defenders ever. He can be the best player ever, But he does not have that killing instinct, that separates the greats from the legends. He does not have that Michael, that Kobe, that Bird rive to win at all costs.

    He has to do one thing: develop a go-to move on the post. After 95, MJ spent all summer getting himself in shape and developing the fadeway. He has to do the same. He becomes unstopable if he does that. He becomes unguardable.

  7. Doing the Pentagon Challange (win every Major Continental Club Competion) and just finished the 2020/2021 season in Levante

    When I started here (in 2018/2019), they had just finished 16th place. Managed to get an Europa League berth finishing 6th and winning the Cup

    In the 2nd season, finished in 4th place and won the Europa League

    This season, with the young players finally settling in, with the Striker addition being huge (23 goals in 45 games) and with a great defense (36 goals against) won the Liga and the Champions League. Thinking about staying another season, to play in the WCC and to try to win the Euro SuperCup

  8. FUCK YEAH

    I celebrated it like crazy, and I am not a Dallas or a Cleveland fan. Just happy that LeBron shited the bed in the 4th quarter in almost every game (as good as MJ Scottie? Really? MJ would not score 2 points in a 4th), happy that after thier "celebration" in game 2, they just choked, happy to see Dirk, Kidd, Terry, Peja and Marion win a ring, just happy

  9. Just started a new game as Benfica. I've inherited a decent squad, Oscar Cardoza is an absolute beast up top and David Luiz and Luisao are enough to keep any team at bay. The league is very much a two-horse race, I'm currently in 2nd place despite winning 9/10 games. Dropping points away to Naval was enough to put me behind Porto. I was shocked to see Porto sell Hulk for £9m in the summer, in my Liverpool game by the 4th season he was arguably the best player in the world.

    The only player I've signed is Park Ji-Sung for £2.9m.

    Focus on the right, both Attacking and Defense. Maxi Pereira is decent, but you can get better and Salvio is only on loan. If you want to wait, you have Urretavizcaya coming back from Peñarol, good player

    I usually play a 4-1-3-2, like they do in real life. 4 defender, 1 defensive midfielder (Javi Garcia is awesome), 3 very attacking midfielders (I advise Gaitan on the left, Aimar on the middle and Salvio on the right) and 2 man up front (Cardozo as my target man and Saviola and the poacher)

  10. After getting fed up with Benfica, I decided to give the Pentagon challenge a go (win every Major Continental Club Competition)

    Started at F.C.A.K., in South Africa. After 5 season, managed to win the African Champions League so I quit. Newell's Old Boys (from Argentina) came calling, they were in 18th in the Apertura. Managed to win the final game, to put them on 17th.

    After a couple of signings, and after wondering what the fuck their previous manager was doing, I am 1st, atfer 8 game, with 6 wins and 2 draws. I am loving this team, they take care of business and play like I want them (attacking a lot, 1st in Goals Scored). Need to improve in the goal though, my 3 keepers are decent\bad
