The Beautiful Game Thread, 11/12

[XXXIV]

you didn't really win.

Meaning they lost?

-1

It's the fecking League Cup. You are supposed to play your youth team until the finals anyways.

When we played Chelsea they had; Lampard, Torres, Mata, Luiz, Bosingwa, Malouda and Ramires.

And when we played City they had all their youth players too, particularly for the second leg when they had guys like Hart, Richards, Lescott, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, and Dzeko. You know, inexperienced youngsters...

Stoke where undefeated at home this season before we played them, same for City.

Liverpool played almost their starters and had to go to penalties. Ya you won silverware but you didn't really win.

Hard to argue with that logic, John.

Brilliant stuff.

I thought they only did that if there was a bigger game on the horizon.

Or if your name is Rafa.

Great run by Robben to lead the scoring for the Dutch team. England making a comeback with the substitutes. Hope Huntelaar and Smalling are OK. Entertaining friendly.

His last goal was typical Robben


Oh and how about the US beating Italy. In Italy.

[fsquid]

My Wednesday celebrated the win over the rivals by firing their manager. I guess 2 points out of automatic promotion wasn't good enough.

[RobVarak]

This has been one satisfying week of football, to say the least.

Italy game was great.

That was awesome! Great stuff. Regrettably, my Canucks lost to Armenia.

Armenia.

*sigh*

Liam feels your pain.

US soccer actually outscored their opponents 8-0 yesterday, between the men, women and u23s. That's a rare thing.

[Naples39]

A wise young fan saves himself lots of inevitable agony in the future of watching Liverpool and attempts to blind himself.

[Jimmydeicide]

My word you lot are lucky the site was down earlier.

Ive calmed down a bit and adjusted to the thought of play fc genk away on thursdays next june.

Piss off Downing, piss off Henderson and piss off Adam not one of you have enough quality to put in a decent ball. You wanna blame Carrol for being a bust there is 3 good reasons right there.
At least after Bacary Sagna hit the half way line with his first shot he was able to deliver a quality cross to van Persie one that Andy Carrol could of scored even.
Did Dalglish think Downing Adam Or Henderson where doing fine? At some point work rate is not enough.

Im off to opening day at the daughters softball league , god help the first person to talk about footy.

[Macca00]

Up and down, weird season continues. Garbage.

What a goal by RvP though! Holy sh!t....

[RobVarak]

Adam was comically bad today. What a bizarre year at home. 13 corners and barely a shot on goal to show from them. 4/10 on PK's. Just weird.

Time for the acronym follies:

WBA > CFC = RIP, AVB.

Its his own fault, treating Lampard like hes 40 come on. Leave your best midfielder out of the side consistently doesnt take a genius, he was just trying to change stuff for the sake of it they already have a good influx of youth.

Bu-bye AVP.

Chelsea's strikers are shite, too. That doesn't help.

[Jimmydeicide]

Torres you mean? Nothing wrong with Sturridge or Drogba, Anelka was good, he pretty much forced him out. Maybe the owner was pulling some strings but still. I just dont think you come into a club and piss off your backbone like he did. Lampard has handled it like a pro .

Agreed. AVB has screwed Lamps, who has been nothing but a loyal, productive servant of the club. It's almost like AVB just said, "Lampard, he's reached a certain age; he's shite," without even looking at the statistics.

Meanwhile, Ferguson is contending for the title with a spine of oldies-but-goodies like Scholes, Giggs and Ferdinand.

A perfect illustration of the massive gap in footie wisdom and tactical smarts between those two managers.

[Jimmydeicide]

Exactly and handling of players and the different levels of ego seems more important than anything nowadays and what makes Rednapp so good and perfect for the England Job.
And another 3 get let in since the Announcement, thats what 12 or 13 goals now in 3 games .
Crazy.

[miget33]

Milan, why?

[fsquid]

APOEL and Lyon heading to penalties

[backbreaker]

Diamond Dynasty needs to be explained or a better video tutorial is needed. This Mode is completely overwhelming too me, or I'm a complete idiot or I have went full retard. I don't know what the hell I'm doing at all. HELP!!!!

Spent an hour playing with the move full pitch control(for wind up effect) and full swing. If you go into the game and you only use the game to calibrate the motion you will get a little lag. You must calibrate your controller at the "XMB" so that when you get into the game and calibrate for location i.e. batter box and pitchers mound. This makes a world of difference makes the perceived lag non existent.

I had fun for a change of pace. Fielding I went for the trigger pull to catch for added realism and difficulty, this requires practices hell all of the Move stuff would be great if you go just practice(I haven't checked yet). I think when I get ready too play franchise I will do my normal Play a game in a series sim the rest, and I will use the MOVE in RTTS once I get better at all the nuances.

Messi scores 5. The guy is unreal.
