I loved 08. First game I didn't get tired of or figure out an unstoppable play within a couple months.

I hated UERO 08. It was a seemingly minor, but incredibly frustrating gameplay tweak for me.

Which would you say Fifa 09 is more like? I've only played the demo once then had to travel for 2 ...

After the Rep of Ireland's thrashing of Bulgaria (sorry Truth) its going to be Macca's irish heading into the finals to play against either FB (Swiss) or Rob (Slovakia). I'll update the main post as soon as the final semi-final game between these two gets played. Good luck guys!

I haven't heard ...

Hey Rob... sorry I dropped off the radar there for a bit. How about either Tuesday night or Thursday night?

I know Ronaldo is everyone's favorite punching bag... but he was not their problem. Awful defense (especially on set plays), bad reffing and only one striker... Nuno Gomez. Those were their problems.

And I don't understand Phil's strategy of putting Ronaldo up as a striker... then not sending any ...

*edit* Should be alright now.

thanks Mac... GP should be 7 too.

Looks like Ukraine's record and GP don't add up either.

OK the first post is updated with the most recent results. Slovakia jumps over the Irish into first place and Norway jumps into contention just behind third place Bulgaria.

As always let me know if I've made any egregious errors.

Any chance for a standings update?

And I'd like it noted that I'm 3-1-1 in rain games.

Two more rain games for the best Water Polo team to ever strap on some cleats. This time a split.

Swiss 0 - Norway 1
Swiss 1 - Norway 0

I know we're supposed to play 3... but my thumbs can only stand two at a time.

fun games Macman... sorry we couldn't chat.

Two rain games. And one was a real slogger (much likeke the Turkey & Swiss game this week). Basically a tarpit down the middle of the pitch.

Swiss 1 - Ukraine 1
Swiss 1 - Ukraine 0

Sorry I couldn't play the other night Macca... Hope to get a couple in this week.

I know it looks bad right now for the Swiss... but I promise I'll get me games in. Tough lately between work and racing how to watch Euro before I go to sleep.

Also heading out to take a peek at Beckham against the Quakes this weekend.

ok..joined the league as Bulgaria. Is there a website for the league through EA or something, or is it all through the 360? Because looking at it just through the 360, it didnt give much info, I didnt even see team names...just gamertags...unless I was missing something.

Yeah EA's league sites ...

I should be around today for a game if anyone wants... and hey how long are games supposed to be for this?

color me swiss. I should be able to start playing this weekend if anyone's around.

You can drop from the league as I did from the first one. I think you press back or start and a small menu pops up.

back is the help menu and start did nothing. Tried pretty much every other button I could find, so unless it's some Yie Ar Kung Fu drop kick combination I don't see how you can ...

I see no option to drop... so I guess it's the tale of two Irish.

And aren't we missing someone?

And what's up with the total lack of information on the league page (in Euro)


And one more question... what do you guys think about Euro compared to Fifa?

I am also Republic of Ireland. Which manager do you want to be; Trappatoni or Staunton? Since he won a championship with Liverpool I don't mind being the latter. :)


Since I don't know either, you are obviously more qualified to manage the green meanies. I actually wanted Norway or Turkey ...

Macsomjrr,

FB is dead has been out of country guests since the new league was created. They left today and he should be hitting the pitch this week.

ps - thanks for updating the standings on the first post... I like that.

Ok I'm finally in.

Sorry for the delay folks.

GT: FB is dead ...

Sorry for the quick off-topic post... but anyone having trouble with WE9 (xbox)?

Fifa and I have had it lock up about 5 of the last 20 games we've played. Each time it happened it was after a goal was scored and at the resulting kick off we simply could not kick off. You could go to the friend ...

From reading it sounds really disappointing. Yet another sports title taking a step backwards in the name of 360 graphics.

You got that from my impressions post? Maybe I need to brush up my writing skills. . . .

Well not just yours...

But it did sound like you couldn't customize the controls ...

So you can't customize the controls?

Annoying. I think I'll pass.

FabulousBastard... are you around for a cup game today?

A thousand sorries. seriously. I was out for a bit and kinda relied on reminders form this thread and for some reason they stopped.

Anyway... if I'm not too late I'm up for a game. I'm around today starting now. I'll also be around friday ...
