Fifa 09 (Xbox 360) Tournament Take 2

[alldaws1]

Inter Milan (AD) 1, Barcelona (Quasi) 0

Tight match throughout, neither team willing to take many risks and solid defending from both. Inter had a few more chances but were kept out by some very good Valdes saves. Finally broke the deadlock with half-time substitute Julio Cruz who tapped in following a corner.

Yeah, this was a game with good defending, only Abidal was a bit poop. He really is by far the worst of all the Barca players, he misstepped several times while he could easily intercept and he wasn't that strong in guarding the ball either. I said before the tournie started I wanted Inter but obviously it was already taken and the reason why is that Inter has beasts all over the pitch. Messi got out muscled easily several times, Eto'o and Henry are not weak by any means but the defenders of Inter won every long ball easily. On the other side Ibrahimovic is larger than Puyol and Marquez so that was also difficult. For me Inter is the best team in the game, because they have everything you need; power and quality. Note to everyone: if you have a quality big guy, put him on Messi and he'll struggle. Good game, sad I couldn't do more.

Good win Animal, Chelsea can be a difficult team to beat because of their solid 5-man midfield. AD and I shouldn't have a problem playing each other, considering I see him online a lot. Looking forward to it; last time we played it was a draw (and you won in extra-time but that doesn't matter )

I went for a traditional 4-4-2 system, it didn't work out.

[rocksta]

Slogger or General you down for the game?

[rocksta]

I'd really like to play my matches but whenever I'm on Slogger ro General either aren't on or wont respond to my pms.

Just played The General

4 Real Madrid (Me) - (Him) Aston Villa 1

The score line doesn't say everything about the game however. He got tons of opportunities but struggled to get them on net. 8 Shots with only 2 on target.

Moment of the match for me was in the closing moments when Van De Vart biked a pass off a corner to get my on yer bike achievment and to end the game.

Also anyone know why I didn't have the updated players but he did?

Ie. no Huntelaar but he had Heskey.

That last goal was absolutely insane, it went past four defenders or so into the back of the net.

But yeah twas a nice equal game (apart from those goals eh ) It could very easily have been 7-0 if it wasn't for some blatant misses by Raul and a strike from Aboglohor that would usually be easily caught.

Looking forward to the other games in this tournament, actual players are far better than the computer and don't seem to hack down players as easily

Beat Slogger 3-1 despite my controller disconnecting throughout the entirety of the first 60 minutes. Battery message lied to me.

He got his goal off my first disconnect when I didnt know what was happening. He ran all the way down with no resistance scored, then watched his replay. Cunt.

I was trying to figure out how I scored so easy, But the the hell is up with you guys knocking my guys over and not getting called ONCE? Your keeper deflected a ball up high and I got knocked over trying to chase it but didn't get called? and then you run up the middle of my defense with Van Nistlerooy and score 3 times, It really rubs it in. You deserved the win, I'm alittle pissed that I only scored once, Because I had a ton of great chances.

[Sam]

I been pissing about at home for a few days but should be all ready to play my game general some time later today if you're on? Just got to travel back to Cardiff first!

[Marsh]

How are things looking?

[rocksta]

I think we just need Sam and General to play.

Just wondering, how does this work

Real Madrid – 6 pts – GD = +5

AC Milan – 1pt – GD = 0 (1 Game)

Werder Bremen – 1 pt – GD = -2

Aston Villa – 0pts – GD = -3 (1 Game)

Because if both AC Milan and Aston Villa have only had one match... how has Real Madrid managed to get 6 points out of one game?

[Sam]

Madrid have played twice as have Bremen! I only put the 1 game in to show our match hasn't been played yet. Are you online now? Can get it done now if you're available.

[rocksta]

If he isn't I could play our match....

[Crybaby Bunting]

I'll just go online now

...and most likely be thrashed thanks to first game rustiness >_>

But hey, the world needs more unexpected Villa goals
