FIFA street is a fun alternative to the srs FIFA games

I thought Pure Football was the serious attempt at making a football game. Then I tried it. Oh boy.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Is FIFA Street actually good, guys?

If the new one is of the quality of the old ones : avoid. What a shit game.

Rooney out with a throat infection, must be all the celebrating in Amsterdam.

The FIFA team is working on it. Not EA BIG like previous ones. I'm moderately excited for it.

Indeed they are. I wish I was in Basel now. Damn, I am stuck at work.

Here is a pretty awesome walkthough of fifa street. Yurt will be happy to see the first teams picked are Juve and Roma (lols) and the guy is controlling juve like a boss. Animations look great and the fifa team are doing it this time, meaning it has a real chance of being awesome.

Plus, club teams.

Twice in two days this has happened to me lol.

Pretty cool short highlight reel I found on Brad Friedel's time at Spurs so far.

I'm sure Bayern will come out with a positive result but this Basel team is something else.. I have never seen such a strong Swiss team. They play football that is beyond the quality of the Swiss league.

We already won against them, twice, in CL last season. I'm very confident.
Swiss teams are easy for Bayern.

Good luck tonight, Inter.

Deschamps invites Del Piero to Marseille

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps reveals that he would love to be reunited with Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero.

Deschamps played with Del Piero in Turin before taking over as coach and helping the Old Lady return to the top flight.

With the experienced forward set to leave Juventus at the end of the season, Deschamps admits he will try to lure him to Marseille.

“I have respect for what Alex has done in his career,” Deschamps told RaiSport.

“He’s a champion whom I have had the good fortune to have as a teammate and then a player.

“If he chose to come to Marseille then I would welcome him with open arms.”

Del Piero has already decided to leave Turin when his contract expires in the summer, but he doesn’t want to finish his playing career just yet.

He is unlikely to join another Italian side, so Marseille is definitely a realistic option for the former Italian international.

Gattuso ready to play for free

Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is desperate to sign a new deal with the Rossoneri and reveals that he would be ready to play for free at San Siro.

The 34-year-old has missed last few months of action through a serious eye problem, and he is eager to return to the side as soon as possible.

Gattuso’s contract at San Siro is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has yet to be offered a new deal.

Nevertheless, the player reveals that he is prepared to do whatever it takes to remain with the Rossoneri.

“I’m ready to play for free even,” Gattuso told Milan Channel.

“I’ve told Adriano Galliani that it’s not a matter of money. I want to return to doing what I love.”

The experienced midfielder is playing his 13th season for Milan, but he doesn’t plan to retire any time soon.

“I live for football…at the age of 34, I have never thought about stopping.”

Chelsea prepare summer clearout

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas plans to offload several senior players in the summer, according to Metro.

The Portuguese manager has already started rejuvenation process at Stamford Bridge, having signed the likes of Juan Manuel Mata, Gary Cahill, Oriol Romeu and Romelu Lukaku.

He is now determined to continue the squad rebuilding and that basically means that several experienced players are set for a summer departure.

Frank Lampard should be the first one to leave as he is no longer considered an important player at Stamford Bridge, and the England international is likely to jump at the opportunity to leave the club as he is unhappy at his current treatment.

Florent Malouda is another player who lost his starting berth with the arrival of Andre Villas-Boas and he will be sold as well, whereas it remains to be seen what will happen to Didier Drogba.

The Ivorian has just a few months left on his contract, although he is adamant he doesn’t want to leave Chelsea.

Countdown to the big match in Basel

Xherdan Shaqiri:
“Shaq, blow them away!" screamed the lead sports headline in Swiss tabloid Blick this morning. Basel’s hopes rest squarely on the future Munich man, whose nicknames include ‘Magic Dwarf’ and ‘Power Cube’. “We’ll have to be perfect, like we were against Manchester," said the 20-year-old, “we’ll have to give it everything, not just for 90, but for 95 minutes."

Jupp Heynckes reckons there is no danger of the occasion getting to the youngster. “The way I know him, he'll try and turn in a really good performance," said the coach, revealing a candid phone call with the versatile midfielder: “He said I'd have to show understanding when he scores. I told him we’ll be stopping him."

Shaqiri himself said he “would not shy away" from scoring a decisive goal, a sentiment underlined by home boss Heiko Vogel: “He'll give everything for us in both matches. He's a solid character and obsessed with football."

Reunions:

• Xherdan Shaqiri is joining Bayern in the summer
• Heiko Vogel spent nine years as a Munich youth coach
• Markus Steinhöfer is a Bayern youth product and made 57 appearances for the reserves
• Mario Gomez and Philipp Lahm played alongside Basel skipper Streller for Stuttgart. “I'm friends with Strelli. He’s a friendly, nice guy," said Gomez, “I hope he'll be friendly on Wednesday evening and not play as well as he's done recently."
• David Alaba spent time in the Austria Vienna youth section with Basel centre back Aleksandar Dragovic, and the pair play together for their national team. “He's one of my best friends. We've known each other for nearly a decade," Dragovic revealed.

Yeah, ESPN. Probably due to both Manchester clubs being at home.

He's going to score an own goal, attempt a back-pass in their own box, and get sent off.

Eva Green in the av? If so yum.

Reading online that the demo for FIFA Street is out on Feb. 28th. Should be able to get a decent feel of how the game is, although demo's of FIFA are always a little shittier than the final product.

 

[Frank the Great]

nope.

I defintely can't say you're wrong. Zurich played well against Standard but fucked against Bayern. Must be some kind of complex but I think it can be waved off and that's precisely what Streller and co are telling themselves.

One thing sure, it's gonna be a breathtaking game.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Copenhagen and carlsberg christened a stand in our stadium today, done with much more style than the idiots doing it to their boats and ships of course.

 

[Kyoufu]

The fuck? Is that real?

 

[Slizz]

Do people like Carlsberg? I know a lot of people in Europe don't really like Heineken, while it's very popular stateside.

I enjoy Carlsberg, but it's hard to find on tap here and a 6 pk of bottles is like 9$

 

[Broder Salsa]

The fuck? Is that real?

Yeah seems like it.

At least they really went all out to make it seem real.

20 Seconds?

 

[Saiyar]

That was quick, great start for City.

 

[elseanio]

Porto always needed to score 2 goals either way.

 

[Splatt]

wtf a goal already and I missed it

 

[Metalmurphy]

Are you fucking shitting me... arghhhh

 

[Broder Salsa]

They all taste like piss.

They kind of do, generally dislike beer, drink it whenever they decide to give it for free though.

Guys that's probably cg.

My first thought as well. But they did quite a lot of shit to fake it then.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Oh dear. Porto already behind after 20 seconds. 1-0 Aguero

 

[Splatt]

AVB looks so sad in the stands :|

 

[Broder Salsa]

Oh dear. Porto already behind after 20 seconds. 1-0 Aguero

Dat pass from the porto defender...

 

[Metalmurphy]

Who made that missed pass? It wasn't Maicon was it?

 

[El Tigre]

Who made that missed pass? It wasn't Maicon was it?

Fucking Otamendi

 

[Dibbz]

My first thought as well. But they did quite a lot of shit to fake it then.

That is the point. They are trying to sell it to you, to make it look real by having all the guys etc. No way would anyone want to smash a gigantic bottle that weighs a shit ton straight into a structure like that.

What is the attendance?
