Good game with dk, lost 4-0

3-0 down after 9 minutes :lol

 

[Exypher]

good game cjelly, it's a good thing crosses are a lot harder to score from in Fifa '09 because you made quite some wing plays although I don't think the win was undeserved.

Level 8 Boss, when will you be available to play our match? I'm probably available tomorrow if that suits you.

Not far off my game with him afterwards. His first 4 shots all ended up as goals.

Yet I go and win the second half 1 -0. That's the only positive I've got.

I don't really think I deserved the beating.

 

[FF_VIII]

Larsen, gimme 2 minutes. My modem just switched off and now it won't connect to XBL.

"Your console is connected to the internet but can't contact XBL"

Edit:working now

 

[FF_VIII]

Good game Larsen

Man, I'm far too inconsistent. I'll win lose one game then win the other. Hanging on fora playoff place in 8th.

Unavailable tomorrow. This weekend will be patchy for me. Just add me, and grap me if you see me.

[Daigoro]

3 games left this week for me.

sneaky and i should hook up soon, we have compatible schedules.

cheesybread hasnt accepted my FR on live yet. Rob Monge i havent seen online at all the few times ive been on this week (we'll need to plan better).

lets wrap these games up guys.

 

[AndresON777]

Me and woodchuck will prolly get ours tonight, I just need to play Roodster and I'm done for the month.

Sad, sad season for Coach Chris. He can't close the deal.

 

[AstroLad]

I gotta play sub manager Magicked & Arsenal. I'll catch you on IM Magicked if I don't catch you here. Usually gtg anytime after 9 EST weeknights and I'll be free on Sunday as well.

 

[woodchuck]

argh. lost to andres 1-0. all my losses have been 1-0 :lol

he plays his defenders deep so i didnt have many opportunities.

his goal was off a turnover by me just outside the box. i try to clear it, but it sticks to his guys leg. then he made the pass to the guy running in.

 

[AstroLad]

TIGHTENING

 

[woodchuck]

seriously :lol

race for the playoffs:

5.Lyon - 9 GP 14 pts
6. Barcelona - 9 GP 14 pts
7. Columbus - 9 GP 13 pts
8. Milan - 9 GP 13 pts


Athletico madrid - 7 GP 12 pts
Liverpool - 8 GP 10 pts

looks like it may come down to goal differential!

 

[AndresON777]

lol I tried to play defensive after the goal, copying Astro's playbook

 

[Exypher]

Hey guys, just posting to say that my internet at home is down at the moment. I'm not sure when it'll be fixed, so it's possible I won't be able to play my second game (against Level 8 Boss) before this monday I already played my game against cjelly. Will this be a problem?

[Exypher]

Great totally forgot that there was a 2 week limit this time. Hopefully my ISP will fix the problem quickly so that I can play my matches as soon as possible.

 

[AstroLad]

I hear you man; at least you didn't RROD!

I'll be home all evening after 7pm EST till about midnight

 

[Daigoro]

fridays are no good for me. Rock Band with the boys.

Sat or Sunday. let me know when, should be around all day, but it would be good to know in advance.

im going to msg both of my other opponents to get them to schedule something now.

seems like i do 95% of all the leg work on scheduling my matches. no offense to some of you who have actually been good about scheduling these things.

 

[Daigoro]

ok. all opponents messaged on live.

sneaky and i should be easy. Rob i havent seen on live lately, but he did respond to all my previous messages, so should be good to go.

i havent heard from cheesybread/LOL CANCER at all though. multiple messages sent on live and just Pm'd him here.

ill be around all weekend guys.

:lol yeah it def happens which is why often seasons 2s are the best b/c you only have the hardcore left. people are probably being a bit more lax too since you have until next sunday to play the four games.

 

[Daigoro]

:lol DOH.

im a geek. i keep thinking we have to get them done by this Sunday. thats why im feeling a little bit of pressure here.

ok guys, at your leisure then.

1-1 with Kobashi. Very lucky I didn't lose, tbh.

Stupid GK though. I pressed B all the way to clear it and he just chips it to their player and they score :/ He did that against Hamburg as well.

I thought it was agreed people wouldn't score in situations like that?

If that starts happening in my games, then I'm out.

 

[AstroLad]

The idea of not pressing the GK and "stealing" a GK pass was bandied about as an idea awhile back, but I don't think any rule is necessary--if you are being pressed just boot it instead of throwing it. But that's a different sitaution. This sounds like just a result of the weak clearances from goalies. They just don't clear it that far in this game sometimes and it can cost you occasionally. I know it's happened to me.

 

[k0ji-wd]

I'll be overseas for work stuff for a few weeks, so I'll be GMT+8 now, not that it makes a huge difference

 

[Regret Truth]

Just wanted to pop in a let everyone know Im(Regret Truth/Schalke 04) still here. My plan is to knock out most of my matches this coming sunday.

 

[itxaka]

Something strange happened in my match with DK.

I'm writing the stats and i see that he wrote 2 yellow card and 1 red one, but on my stats it did appear as 0 for both.

Game was laggy so I'm thinking it was an ea/fifa error. Did somebody found something like this?

Had that too in my matches, but I think it helps to press B very early to load the shot (right after you pass the ball to your goalie). Now it happends quite rarely to me.

Frenck, CJelly. When you want to play your games, let me know via live. I'm pretty much done chasing after people to arrange matches.

well, frenck is banned, so i guess you guys will have to schedule via xbl



and i hope those of you with 6 gp know you have to finish all 4 by next sunday!

 

[Tf53]

I've messaged my opponents on Live. I have a HUGE deadline on Thursday morning, so I'll be swamped until then. I hope we can get the matches in on Thursday afternoon or evening, since I'm unable to play on Fri and Sat, too.

I'll be around sunday afternoon just send me a pm here on gaf

 

[woodchuck]

just won a hard fought game with roodster, 2-1. It was a pretty back and forth game. torres got free at the end, but my GK made the save of his life.

i scored both my goals off of corners. juninho's corners are godly in this game

 

[Magicked]

Hey guys. I'm back from being out of town these past couple days, so I'll probably be able to play a few matches today. I will, however, want to warm up a bit since I haven't touched the game since Wednesday.

Cool man let me know I'm ready to play.

 

[Tf53]

I'll play my games with Larsen B and Frenck on Thursday. Haven't received a response from Ajay yet, but hopefully we'll be able to get the game scheduled on either Thursday or Sunday.

 

[AstroLad]

magicked I should be around after 9 EDT this week.

I didn't see you on last night, when do you want to get together? when is it good for you.

 

[woodchuck]

i'll be gone wednesday-sunday so i won't be around to bug you guys.

[AstroLad]

[woodchuck]

Been a rule that's worked for me...you'd think people would've learnt by now.

 

[AndresON777]

I've been biting my tongue, at least until the league is over. I think I got a good shot at taking the loser tournament crown, lol

btw, cjelly got banned too

 

[AstroLad]

loser tournament will be STACKED.

btw, cjelly got banned too

:lol holy shit; half the league is going to be banned.

 

[AndresON777]

I see me and magicked are tied with the same amount of games played, what's the tiebreaker? Head to head or goal differential or both?

 

[AstroLad]

The following tie-breakers are applied:
Head-to-head record
Best division record (if same division)
Best record among common opponents
Best conference record (if same conference
