FIFA 09 (The 2nd Online PS3 Tournament)

[TheRossWalker]

Between now and 10, whenever's best for you.

[TCO]

I don't really mind, I can go on now if you want.

[TheRossWalker]

Now is good.

[Baddar]

I hope the silence in the last 15 minutes means you're able to get this played.

[TheRossWalker]

Ugh.

TCO, 1-0. Robinho on 74.

Lesson: even if it looks a mile offside, don't assume it is.

In short, I got caught out by the same thing I tell kids off for every fucking Sunday.

Ugh.

[TCO]

Oh yes, chuffed with that win. That was perfect defensively and all I needed was to tuck one away. Bring on the 2nd leg!

[TheRossWalker]

It was a definite "one chance" game, neither of us were really giving anything away (other than that free kick I gave away first half, I was shitting myself there), one good chance was all it took.

[TCO]

That free was too close for me to score, it was right on the line! The 2nd leg should be interesting, I'm most comfortable when under heavy pressure and you'll have to attack. Was that the 1st game you lost so far?

[TheRossWalker]

No, Baddar beat me.

[Baddar]

Semi-Finals - 2nd Leg

Chelsea (Bluebirds) vs. Real Madrid (Baddar) Agg: 1-2

Inter (TRW) vs. Man City (TheCoolOne) Agg: 0-1

Games to be played between Friday 30th January and midnight on Tuesday 3rd February. The plan is for BB and I to get our 2nd Leg played at some point next Monday, so if TRW and TheCoolOne could work out a time that suits them in the above dates, we'll be all set.

[TheRossWalker]

Out Saturday night, again, but anytime other than that is fine.

[TCO]

Don't really mind which time as long as it's not completely insane.

I'd prefer Friday though.

BTW, Would this be the first ever online tournament ever completed on EWB?

[Baddar]

FIFA, yes. Other games, no idea.

Complete this, and there'll be a second soon after.

Inter (TRW) 0-3 Man City (TCO)

Benjani 51

Elano 69

SWP 85

Fucking terrible. That was the worst game I've ever played. The game kept lagging throughout the first half, and I missed an absolute fucking sitter with Ibra. I was just generally frustrated by my inability to shoot, and I think TCO could tell, I was lashing out a few wild challenges late on.

Best of luck to you in the final, you deserve to be there more than me, I'm too inconsistent.

[TCO]

The lag was bad alright. That really was a terrible miss though. Benjani's goal was afluke too, deflected free kick, looped and hit the top of the bar and gave Benji a tap in.

Bring on the final now!

[TheRossWalker]

Honestly, I didn't have a clue I even had the ball until it went over. It was just one of those bizarre moments that really changes a game.

[TCO]

So did ye play your game? If not do I win by default?

The best type of winning!

[Baddar]

Our 2nd Leg is, as planned, being played later today.

[Bluebirds]

Chelsea (Bluebirds) 5-2 Real Madrid (Badd-um-tsch)

Drogba 8'

van Nistelrooy 15'

van Nistelrooy 20'

Lampard 22'

Drogba 60'

Lampard 65'

Ballack 90'+8

Well played, Nik.

Onto the final you go, after I defended badly. We both did, but I defended worse than you, and it didn't help considering you were on form going forward tonight.

The question now is, when will Chelsea meet Man City for the 3rd time in the tournament, this time for the crown?

Well, let's say any time from Tuesday 3rd February to Saturday 7th February at midnight. That should give you guys enough time. Good luck.
