Wow! Just played a div 1 game in every sense of the division. The opponent had an average squad, nothing flash (Soldado, Lisandro Lopez, Guardado, Turan, Costa, Gaitan, Pereira, Pepe, Masch, Caceres, Marchetti), but for some reason he was all over my Bundes squad. I was missing targets, closed down, outrun, out positioned, outmuscled. He scored with Soldado after 16 minutes and felt like I barely strung two passes together.
I managed to scramble a quick Lewa goal and get the scores level at 27 minutes, then started to get my passing going. At 34 min Farfan broke through and scored and I felt comfortable...for three mins, until Soldado equalised. Fifa AIDS (copyright NepentheZ) kicked in at 45 mins and Soldado had his 3rd...I was ok with that, I thought the scoreline reflected the game at this point.
Kick off into the second half and its the same again. I can't get near it.he gets a shot off and it is deflected. Corner...my player floats behind him allowing an easy header...Soldado has four after 50 mins. To and fro for the next 10 mins but I'm getting nowhere. Lisandro decides its time to get involved and I'm now down 5-2...**** this game to hell! Nothing is going right.
I keep at it but I'm getting nowhere. I'm cutting him off but can't get the final ball. Finally at the 86 minute mark I get Farfan free and he curls one past the keeper...a bit or respectability I guess...
Back to the centre and I steal the pass and thru ball to Farfan again...goal on 89....here we go! Back to the centre and he kicks off backwards to draw my players and then surges forward...injury time 2 minutes. He passes down the right channel and I intercept...hold down the triangle and thru it goes...Farfan again...he has the pace...and he sidesteps and taps past Marchetti 1 last time.he has 4, and I have 5.
Whistle blows 5-5 top game! This is why I can't give up on Fifa!
