In order to get my mind off things, I decided to start a new FM game, even though I haven't played in years. This is FM21 because it's the one I own. Sorry- I have a pack I downloaded back in the day that makes every single country league playable, and decided to pick the Uzbekistan league (obviously). Anyway, I pick Paxtakor because at least they would be playing asian champions league football and I wanted something more than just domestic football. The league itself was going really well leading the league with 14 wins and 5 draws after 19 matches. I had problems in the cup (there's a group stage, and I ended up with 2 draws and a loss in my group so I'm already out). In the Asian Champions League I reached quarter finals and was basically "killed" by Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia away. Yeah, I know, if you lose 9-3 you're really bad. I'm aware. Then, second leg and I had zero expectations, obviously. but at half time I had a 3-2 lead and I thought "I can get some money out of this." In Uzbekistan it's very useful. 49,51 and 52 minutes and then we were 6-2 and I started believing. And this actually happened. Both of these matches were unbelievable. But it's even more amazing that both were in the same two-legged tie. I've been playing CM/FM since 1994 and I never had anything similar to this happen to me.

I like you got a couple actual Pistons legends in there. For some reason I'm not surprised Marbury didn't match well with Dirk. Second round exits sound about right.

good thing they fired Adrian Griffin. They're so much better now. phew

This 100%. You go from one of the very best defensive backcourt players in the league right now to one that won't even bother playing unless he has the ball and then complain about the coach. Right...

So, so close.

Nothing says we're back baby! like a 0-0 draw.

In your defense, they did look good the first few games, and they've had a TON of injuries. Also, their rotation is 9 guys under 24 and Alec Burks. With Monte Morris and Bogdanovic things could be a tiny bit different. Also, I think you jinxed them.

Controversial issues aside, they were playing really well that world cup until they went out after Maradona was gone. Romania were also really good and also, that Romania vs Argentina match was one of the best in the tournament. Again, controversial issues aside Maradona was actually unfortunate to be surrounded by two of the best supporting casts for the NT when he was inexperienced and then when he was almost out of it (literally and figuratively) while getting some of the most mediocre supporting casts in the NT history during his peak years. Edit: this isn't the kind of post you'd expect in the new kit thread. Apologies

The Oilers can't even beat the Sharks this year.

Late reply, but I still think France wouldn't miss the final if it weren't for all their injuries to top players. I know those are part of the game, and nobody was 100%, but I feel they were affected the most. Having said that, I had NZ vs SA in my poll (before the World cup started), because even when I feel someone is talented enough to be successful I still don't trust my gut until I see some consistency. Same reason I wouldn't pick Ireland if my life depended on it, regardless of how good the team might have looked on paper.

Is it FBB?

I was trying and couldn't find Brentford after reading your post and didn't know what you were on about. I wasn't expecting them to border Scotland.

I think I did. You meant bandcamp, right?

I really like it. It's more melodic than I expected. I like the first 2 and the last 2 the most, but that's to be expected considering they're more similar to what I usually listen to.

Personally I'm on the love side of it. That one and Victim in Pain are great.
