FIFA 12 XBOX 360 tournament

RedMist99 · 27th January 2012, 11:12

Fifth worst goal difference and qualified.

Win!

VivaRonaldo7 · 27th January 2012, 11:18

What a farce

RedMist99 · 27th January 2012, 11:26

Harsh going out by one goal, especially when most of the results in your group were decided by 0-0

Mr Anderson · 27th January 2012, 12:49

Ya group C was a bit of a letdown there, especially as it was wide open.

Mr Anderson · 27th January 2012, 12:56

Out of fairness aswell. Most have used 6 teams, others who didnt play max games but still qualified, should they be assigned random 4.5 star rated teams to fill the results of the 0-0 games? Slight advantage they may have imo.

Smores · 27th January 2012, 13:15

Yeah I was thinking of assigning the teams I'd have used but figured there's that many teams left it would be pointless doing so. I don't particularly agree with random selection as I was saving certain teams for the end.

We may want to check Foxy is actually available/wants to proceed, VivaRonaldo was the only one who seemed to be constantly on trying to get his games done.

Mr Anderson · 27th January 2012, 13:24

Well I'm just putting it out there. For instance RedMist (I think) pointed to the fact he had to use some of his preffered teams for the KO stages to try get the wins he needed. "Only God knows" what way some would have done after results dont go there way. Just pointing to the unbalance in that for players who did play, had to grind out the results where others didnt.

It is only something small, but the deadlines where there for these purposes, to play all games.

Smores · 27th January 2012, 13:54

I'm happy to proceed either way to be honest, shall have no complaints. Obviously Foxy had to play someone who'd he'd previously drawn and lost to and win those games so he'd have used decent teams.

Interesting point, but I don't think we'll pull that one out there as it seems even more unfair to begrudge someone using a chosen team.

The only criteria was that you needed to use a different team each time. Fact is, the runner-up from group C can already feel aggrieved for not being given the chance at winning his group, perhaps because of others who couldn't fulfill fixtures.

Smores · 27th January 2012, 16:31

Foxy's pm'd that he's good to proceed. Seemed he did try to fulfil his fixtures quite a bit after all.

Cling Bak, I'm good to play our game either tonight or early tomorrow before the game. Probably going to be busy the rest of sat and sunday but will be available most evenings thereafter.

Cling Bak · 27th January 2012, 16:36

I'm available until 7pm or early tomorrow.

RedMist99 · 29th January 2012, 20:42

I'm available til midnight tonight.

Is Danieldinho a noob?

Yes

Luminous Lizard · 30th January 2012, 18:50

I'm available for my game tonight. Bump this thread or PM me. I'm playing Neo_Mufc aren't I

Smores · 30th January 2012, 19:00

Sorry Cling Bak, that winner must have been painful, slowly creeping and only just over

I think we were both a bit crap in that game, I just managed to grab some goals

Smores (Spurs) 2 - 1 Cling Bak (A.Madrid)

I won't be free to play today. I'll try get on tomorrow. Will let you know tomorrow what's going on.

Luminous Lizard · 30th January 2012, 21:29

Cool, I wont be able to get on till about 10 ish though.

Gutted! Pretty sloppy game, really. You also scored from the clearance after I hit the post/had the rebound saved, which made it even more agonising.

There was also a very dodgy offside call in the 90th minute! Not that I was completely clean through, but entering the area.

Anyway, sour grapes, good luck to you in the next round.

Mr Anderson · 1st February 2012, 13:01

Hoping to get my QF done today. Myself and Foxy havent being around at the same times as of yet. Was supposed to play yesterday but I got called into work early for stocktake

Smores · 2nd February 2012, 11:26

Seems like the deadline for this round was actually yesterday so do I win by default of being the only person to complete their game

Come on lads, I know I seem unbeatable and it may be pointless but get your fixtures done

!!

RDCR07 · 2nd February 2012, 11:38

Smores you up for a friendly now?

RedMist99 · 2nd February 2012, 14:10

Me and danieldinho have been trying to arrange our match but our calenders have clashed so far.

Hopefully get it sorted tonight

Mr Anderson · 2nd February 2012, 18:19

Myself and Foxy are the same as you redMist. Havent being online at the same time as of yet, I'm off tomorrow so hopefully we'll get it out of the way then.

Mr Anderson · 2nd February 2012, 19:02

Foxy PM'd me and tomorrow looks good for the both of us

RedMist99 · 2nd February 2012, 22:04

RedMist99 (PSG) 1 - 5 (Spurs) danieldinho

Had a shocking start and never recovered. He'd scored before I'd even touched the ball. The lag was pretty abysmal though it appeared to affect me more than him.

I created very little the whole game but improved slightly in the second half. Once again my downfall is my inability to defend. It's really starting to piss me off now.

Also, had the scoreline been closer, I would have demanded a rematch as the game time was still set at 6 min halfs. Probably for the best though to save me further humiliation.

Anyway, I bow out of the tournament with an impressive -9 goal difference at the QF stage

Well played mate, well deserved

Cling Bak · 3rd February 2012, 14:14

I'm available now luminous. I'll get on in 10mins or so if you're on.

Mr Anderson · 3rd February 2012, 17:01

Mr Anderson (Juve) 1-0 Foxy (Everton)

90th minute peno. Dubious decision

I defended well enough. I had a few chances from crosses, one notiably just before halftime. Free back post and my player side foots it into the side netting, and Vucinic is terrible at finess shots!

Foxy had a few good chances aswell, but luckily I had pace in my defence to cover intime. A balanced game in the end, I just got my crosses in. Good game mate.

Cling Bak · 5th February 2012, 02:05

Just waiting on one quarter final now then, before cracking on with the semi's (not in a perverted way).

Ill be available later tonight or tomorrow

Cling Bak · 10th February 2012, 16:56

I'm loathed to punish those who haven't played and since I'm out I haven't been as pushy to get this done, but this has dropped to a standstill!

Will PM remaining quarter finalists, come on guys!

RedMist99 · 10th February 2012, 17:04

RedMist on standby for semi-final back door entry!

Neo_Mufc · 12th February 2012, 18:38

I forfeit my last 16 game. Luminous gets a bye.

Mr Anderson · 12th February 2012, 18:42

so we can crack on with the semi's. sweeeeet.

What times can you play? I rate I could only get on on Saturdays and Sundays for the foreseeable. If you're more available you go through.

cw1984 · 13th February 2012, 09:00

Well as I had the most points for someone who didn't qualify I reckon I get a bye...

Neo_Mufc · 13th February 2012, 13:12

I don't think I'll be able to get on Fifa for a while. You can have the bye Luminous otherwise cw1984 can take my place.

cw1984 · 13th February 2012, 13:14

Neo was in my group too.

It's the right thing to do I reckon...

cw1984 · 14th February 2012, 16:59

So.......?
