So I guess Shinobi is the new favorite, how many stars is Toronto anyway?

You need to defend deeper, that will stop the goals leaking.
Lost against Bayern, where I feel I should have won, Silva and Villa were very wasteful despite getting in great positions. The defence was relatively solid, despite gifting Bayern with a goal.
After a stern talking to by the manager, Villa and Silva turned on the style to cruist to victory at home to Roma.
With the fall of Villareal, there are now 6 unbeaten teams and only two that have managed full points.
Inter Milan
Fiorentina
Werder Bremen
Toronto
Manchester United
Real Madrid
The EU Craig division looks to be pretty competitive with 4 points separating 1st from 4th.
I'm still pissed I lost two points against Real Madrid letting a goal in at the 90th minute and then losing 1-0 to Toronto when I had multiple great chances.
With my shooting, I feel I simply choke under pressure in the league games. Offline and in random xbl matches, my shooting is so much better.

Still lost though.
Imagine him with Man U lol
:lol @ me being the favourite
:lol :lol :lol @ me using Man U (I'm a Gooner, might as well ask me to use Spurs)
I'm only not conceding goals because mutiple opponents have missed mutiple breakaway shots. My defending is pretty decent when the other team is setting up, but I've still been exposed far too much for my liking.
Like I said before, my net is living a charmed life...sooner or later I'm gonna take a reaming.
What's even more shocking is that I've been able to score at least one goal in every game. I didn't think I had enough speed in my squad to do that, but so far it's working out.

gg Strikevillan.
shit i was feeling super competitive too. i had tons of possesion and a lot of missed chances. i was in a real position to score several times and just couldnt finish for shit tonight. too spastic i guess. oh well.
his first goal was one of those retarded only the elite teams can pull off a shot from way outside the box deals. and the second was when i was on all offense towards the end of the game and his striker was alone in the box with one defender playing footsie with him for like 30 seconds.
my midfielder got MOTM on my side, but it looks like Strike added MOTM for one of his dudes, so i guess we got different results? i added mine anyways.

OK, problem time. Me and Feral can't connect (same thing as with me and Daigoro). We can see each other in the "team select" screen, but right after that the game tells us that the session is no longer available.
Is there a way to work around this issue? My NAT is open, and I don't know what could possibly be wrong. I found this "fix":
I'll try it. Feral, could you do the same?

No joy here, I think it has something to do with the connection ,and if it's not strong enough between it just says session not available. Basically it would lag like a bitch if it went through with it. Just a guess.

Right I'd going to download a fireware upgrade for my router and try again.

Fuck still no joy. Looking around online it seems like it's a common problem.

It seems like turning my PC off possibly solved the problem.
Lost 2-0 mind you. Damn it.
Good game though tf53.
Considering that I have the most tackles in the league, I let in way too many goals. I sure do look forward to playing Portsmouth next.

Here's the match recap:
Good game, man. I'm sorry about that one shot from the middle of the field. I just had to go for it, even though you didn't pull your keeper yourself. I was hoping it wouldn't go in.
I just turned my computer off, I normally keep it running.
Well played anyway.
Fifa 09 just arrived at my mail, PS3 version. Im looking forward to palying it online but I am TOTAL Fifa noob, I am a decent pes player though. If you are switcher, from pes to fifa, like me go and add me PSN: brokic. No pros plzzz, I dont wanna be beaten badly, and no picking barcelona and going the messi route all the time, just playing for fun.

Well, I finally lost. Thank God everyone else in my division is playing like crap!
Kudos to Regret Truth. He played a solid and smart game. He hit me early and withstood the comeback.
I'm really glad I have a big division lead, because that post I hit and the questionable refereeing had me pretty pissed. If this game really mattered, I'd be fuming. I probably deserved to lose, but damn.
At least Rooney got 2 goals. I'd say he's in the race for the top scorer, but you just know that Portsmouth's Defoe or Crouch are going to score 8 goals against some Division Z team they face later in the year.

good game zombie.
AAAAHHHHHHHHH
i fucking hate this game sometimes.
i lost 1-0.
what happened was...i passed back to my goalie then pressed B to clear.
Instead the goalie tapped it to zombie, and zombie had a clear shot on goal. i really have to get my shit together to make the playoffs. i need to take a break from this game.

I have not used cocaine
Yeah i knew somehow something got messed up. At least i broke my not winning at all streak. You hit the crossbar once towards the beginning that made me go "OH SHIT!"
That was probably one of my favorite games i've played. All the other ones seemed to have these qualities:
>My back 4 are always out run by the other teams forwards
>My strikers are always pushed off the ball by the other teams back 4
I don't know what i'm doing wrong, or if its just my team and i need to learn to work around it.

That was a hell of a game man. GREAT match. The second half I almost slashed my wrists when Rooney started going off. Id rather lose 6-0 than give up 3 first half goals.
I had another great match against ChrisGoldstein. To be totally honest I'm not sure how I won that one:lol Ronaldinho had about 3 breakaway chances but my keeper was able to bail me out.

I got a fucking point finally on the road late Second Half. Could have had more if not for the crossbar.

Guys i am so so sorry but i am going to have to drop out of the league. With christmas approaching im in desperate need for the money, so ive sold a load of my games, including FIFA. I was only keeping it to continue in this tournament but like i said, i need the money now. Good luck to everyone and whoever replaces me.
