FIFA - End of Month Summary

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Eight Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Eight

Match 1 – So tonight Ryan starts it off with the Premiership and of course Arsenal… and as predictable as I am I go with Liverpool… this was a real tight game… we both had plenty of chances… but it was Ryan that did the business in front of goal… a hat trick of well taken goals by Van Persie secured him the victory!!! (0-1) Match 2 – Dutch league next… and Ryan steals my pick in Ajax… I end up picking PSV… Ryan started of best with a cracking goal by his striker Hamdauoui… this could possible be up there for goal of the month!!! Anyway it wasn’t long until Ryan and Hamdauoui had their second after some real sloppy defending… and if that wasn’t enough Hamdauoui grabbed his hat trick with another cracker!!! It got worse again for me when I got my right back sent off… but there was a glimmer of light… when Berg rose above all the defenders and headed one home… now I thought I had a chance of a comeback… but I fecked that up when Englaar got sent off for a second bookable offence… but I had the last laugh as Ryan managed to sky rocket the penalty… and that was that… another lose for me... not good!!! (0-2) Match 3 – We head to Portugal now with Ryan picking Benfica… and myself Braga… rather boring match as I sat back and dragged out the draw… at least I saved myself from being white washed… this draw could come important… but saying that now in the dying seconds I had a chance to score… and my goal it was so close to going in!!! (½-2½) Match 4 – La Liga next… Ryan picks Real Madrid… while I go with Valencia… and finally I hit some form… Solasdo slots one home after being set up by Juanquin… next we see the most ridiculous goal ever… when Pepe passed the ball back to his feet… unfortunately it went through his legs and into the back of the next… possibly goal of the season??? Anyway half time goals and all I need to do it keep cool and ive got this one in the bag!!! But Ryan starts out strong and scores a great goal with Khedria… before Di Maria scores a fantastic goal to level the match even tho he had three defenders on him!!! Anyway a draw looked secure until Ryan scored a great header in the dying seconds of the game… and there fluked the victory!!! (½-3½) Match 5 – Final game tonight comes from the French league… we see Ryan with Lyon… and myself with Marseille!!! All we saw was a great header from Gougoff from a corner… but otherwise a dull match… so overall Ryan did excellent… a real hard challenger… but has he done enough to finish top of the table??? (½-4½)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Eight Preview

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Seven Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Seven

Match 1 - Tonight we start off with Serie A… Scroney goes with Roma… which screws my plans up… so I end up going with Inter Milan… and it is a sloppy goal that starts me off tonight… Milto scored after a mess up in defence and by the goal keeper… I made things hard for myself by getting my keeper sent off after a silly challenge… but I ended up securing the victory after Ettoo slotted home a great header!!! (1-0)

Match 2 – The next match was in the German League between Hamberger and Schalke 04… rather boring match… should of lost… game ended nil nil and the point was shared!!! (1½-½)

Match 3 – The next match will be in the Premier League… Scroney goes with Manchester United… while I went with the Pool!!! It was a great match… a lot of attacking and a great match to watch… the only goal in the match was when Carroll headed home a corner from Suárez… the match got worse for United when Vidic was sent off… nothing new there for Vidic… he really is used to getting sent off against Liverpool… one goal was all I needed to collect this point!!! (2½-½)

Match 4 – The French Liga is next Lyon versus Bordeaux!!! Scroney was able to go one up after a great header… but I was able to get one back after his keeper made a mistake… a penalty was missed… but the decisive moment of the match was when I foolish brought my keeper out and Pjanic was able to take it off him and smash it into the back of the net… Scroney was able to hold on for the victory!!! (2½-1½)

Match 5 – The final match tonight will be in the Spanish League… and if Scroney is able to pick up the victory he will secure the draw for the evening… and he picks Real Madrid… I go for city rivals Athletico…And it starts off greatly for me after I scored a great goal with Forlan after being but through by Augero… but the lead did not last long as Ozil turned several defenders before slotting the ball into the back of the net with a great goal… neither of us were able to get a second goal… and the match ends in a draw… meaning I scrap through with the victory for the entire night!!! (3-2)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Seven Preview

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Six Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Six

Match 1 - Mark starts of his first ever challenge by picking the scumbags Shitchester… I mean Manchester United… while I go with Liverpool… and it’s a great start to the challenge for Mark as he scored with Berbetov early on after Rooney’s shot was parried by Reina… I had the chance to equalise but Gerrard messed up a penalty… Mark wins this one with a one nil victory!!! (0-1)

Match 2 – Up next is the Spanish League with a match between Real Madrid and Barcelona… it started off poorly for me once again when Ronaldo had a chance to score after my keepers mistake… but it should have been stopped by my defender… and it got worse for me when Mark went on a great run and scored a cracking goal with Ronaldo for his second… that was the end of the scoring but I never seemed like I was going to score!!! (0-2)

Match 3 – Serie A is next and Mark goes with Inter… I end up going with Roma this time after the success of being them against Daniel… and I started off great when Adriano scored a great header… but that didn’t last and in the second half Cambessio scored after my keeper parried the ball straight to him… I held out for the draw… but I seem to be playing a better than I was at the start of the challenge!!! (½-2½)

Match 4 – German League is chosen next by Mark and as usual the challenger goes with Bayern Munich… I’m going to stick with Schalke 04… and that pays off… three great goals by Huntalaar… Fanfam and Raul secure the victory and gives me a fighting chance of drawing tonight’s challenge!!! (1½-2½)

Match 5 – The final match tonight will be in the Turkish League… and it should be a cracker between these two rivals… Mark goes with Galatasary… while I go with Fenerbahce… and I had a great start when a player on loan from the blue shit scores a great header from a corner… but that didn’t last long… mark manages to use two ex pool players against me when Baros headed in a Kewell corner… and that ended all hopes of a come back and drawing the evening… well done to Mark… he was a great challenger!!! (2-3)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Five Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Five

Match 1 - Tony started the night of with Serie A… T goes with Inter while I go with AC… and I started off poorly after I concede a silly goal after throwing the ball out with my keeper right to Milto’s head who heads it straight into the back of the net… the keeper had no chance!!! But I was able to get an equalise moments after that goal after Pato set up Ibrahimovic who slooted it in the back of the net!!! With the score level at half time… Tony came out the fasted from the break and it was Eto’os great cross that set Milto up to score… it was a really great pass as it took keeper out of game!!! Looking like defeat was likely I managed to score a wonder goal with Seedoff it was a real screamed… the final whistle went moments later and I was lucky to leave with a two each draw!!! (½-½)

Match 2 – The second match was in the Mexican League… and the only reason T picked this was so that I would struggle to say them… well I get away with it hear because I only have to type it… so Tony was Guadalajara… while myself Pachuca!!! It was a rather disappointment… I was real dirt all the way through and even got someone sent off… but unfortunately for T he scored an own goal which ended up securing the victory for me with a one nil victory!!! (1½-½)

Match 3 – The MLS is up next… and the usual teams weren’t picked… Tony went for Columbus Crew… while I went for Chicago Fire because I wasn’t too sure if Freddie Ljungberg played for them or Celtic… but it turns out he still does in this game… and well he was the MVP… he scored a great hat trick after several one twos set him up… he could not be stopped!!! Anyway final score was 3 nil and another victory to myself!!! (2½-½)

Match 4 – Another different League gets choosen next and it should be a cracker in the Russian League between CSKA Moskva and Zenit… it was a really entertaining game… but it ended nil nil… but I thought I had it in injury time when T had to pull out a cracker of a save from Danny’s freekick!!! (3-1)

Match 5 – The final League tonight is also a new one for the challenge and we head to the Korean League… and another funny namer one… Tony goes with Pohang Steelers… while I go with FC Seoul… it wasn’t really the team names more like the players… players like Go Yo Han and Han Tae You getting on the score sheet… the final score was two nil in my favour… and victory for the night is mine!!! (4-1)

The Kinect League (S1) - Challenger Four & Five

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Four Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Four

Match 1 - First match Bethany goes with Liverpool in the Barclays Premiership… this is unknown territory for me because I’m usually always Liverpool… so this match I decide on West Ham… and what a way to start the match with a comedy goal… Reina took Behrami out and ball rolled in net… I felt a bit bad about that goal… and it made it worse when Charlton Cole slide in at the keeper after making a bad back pass and was able to collect the second goal… I had so many changes but Beth was really good at passing and at some points it was hard to get the ball off her… the match ended two nil… but because of the handicap rating Beth gets a draw with a score of two each!!! (½-½)

Match 2 – Up next Beth chooses Bundesliga League because of the nice colours… Bethany decides on Bayern Munich… and I go with Schalke 04… and this match was nothing like the last match… Beth played well once again… but her keeper could do nothing… Huntelaar was the shining light in this match… his run and great pass allowed Farfan to score with a tap in… he set another one with the same style play setting up Raul this time… Huntelaar got on the score sheet himself after Raul’s shoot was saved only for it to fall at his feet and slot it in the net!!! And that wasn’t it… I managed to scrape another one in injury time after Butt messed up allowing Huntelaar to score his second… the match ended four nil… but with the handicap it was four two… Beth did well… but I really seemed to play well with Schalke04!!! (1½-½)

Match 3 – The next league chosen is the SPL… Beth’s choice is Celtic… while I go for Hearts… I decided against the inventible brawl that would have gone down if I had chosen Rangers… and I tell you what I was a lucky boy to leave with half a point… if it wasn’t because of Beth running the ball in the back of the net twice I would of lost… and in the dying seconds of the game I thought I had it won…. But I was offside… and it must have been millimetres!!! Final score was two nil… but Beth ended up leaving with a two each draw!!! (2-1)

Match 4 – Next we are going with Spanish Liga… Beth goes with Barcelona… I decide on Real Madrid… and it didn’t start off well for Beth when she back healed the ball into her own net… mind you it was very skilful… maybe up there for goal of the month!!! But the rest of the match became the KaKa show… three well taken goals by the Brazilian magician… Beth got the chance of a late consulation goal after I brought her down in the penalty area… but she managed to sky rocket it… the match ended 4 nil… so the score ends four two!!! (3-1)

Match 5 – The final match tonight will take place in the Portuguese league… Beth decides on Benfica… while I go with Braga… and this was a killing… and it was all down to ex Newcastle midfielder Hugo Viana… he just destroyed the other team with four super goals… Beth never had a chance in this match… she even passed the controller to my Dad and Nat at one stage… she did really well all over… but managed to lose this one 5-0… so that’s 5-2 with the advantage added on!!! (4-1)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Three Review

FIFA 2001 Results - Challenger Three

Match 1 - First match tonight will take place in the German Bundesliga… Daniel goes with Bayern Munich… while this time I decide on Bayern Leverkusen… the match could not of started off worse for me when Gomez ran in front of the keeper as he kicked the ball out of hands and it hit Gomez who was able to control it and score… what a suckie goal… and it got worse for me as the half time whistle as about to go Gomez was able to set up Klose who slotted the ball home for a two nil lead at half time!!! Second half I came back into the game after a great corner in from Barnetta Big Sami was able to header it in… one goal behind I pressed on but I wasn’t able to get the equaliser… the match ended 2-1!!! (0-1)

Match 2 – The second match tonight is in the MLS… Dan goes with the New York Red Bulls… while I go with LA Galaxy… Daniel really controlled this match from start to finish… but I was able to stop so many attempts on goal… with some great tackles… but when I thought the draw was in the bad Lindpere made a great run and scored a cracker after getting passed about four players… with the goal coming in the 85th minute there wasn’t much I could do and lost 1-0… a late goal which screwed me over!!!(0-2)

Match 3 – Next match was the one I was expecting first… and I thought correctly when Daniel picks Arsenal… and as predictable as I am I go with Liverpool once again!!! This match wasn’t even close… Daniel scored some great goals with Fabegras Arshavin Walcott and Van Persie!!! There was nothing I could do with the speed and passing… and I was lucky to escape with a four nil loss!!!(0-3)

Match 4 – Next match will be in the Spanish League and once again I will be Real Madrid as Daniel choose Barcelona first… it was a rather tight game but after two good goals by Messi and Villa… Daniel deserved the win and is on his way to being the first person to white wash me!!!(0-4)

Match 5 – So the final match tonight will take place in the Italian Serie A… and once again the challenger chooses Inter Milan… but instead of going for my usual I went for Roma a very strong defensive team… and basically I played the most defensive tactics I could and run out the match for a nil nil draw… Daniel had load of chances but my defence made it hard for him… and my keeper was on fire as well!!! Anyway I was saved from being white washed with the well-earned draw… and well done to Daniel for being the second person to defeat me in the Artemis Beartrappe Challenge!!! (½-4½)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Three Preview

FIFA 2011 - Challenger Two Review

FIFA 2011 Results - Challenger Two

Match 1 - Well tonight Sheep starts of by picking the MLS… he goes for LA Galaxy… I decide on NY Red Bulls all because they have that French twat Henry!!! And well he was hopeless the whole game!!! That’s Henry not Sheep… Sheep started off on fire in this match… and had two great goals by half time with Buddle and Donavon getting on the score sheet… Sheep continued the second half like he finished the first but was unable to score… I myself got a consolation goal in the ninetieth minutes with the ex-Aston Villa Striker Angel getting on the score sheet!!! (0-1)

Match 2 – Next match is the German Bundesliga League… Sheep goes with Wolfsberg… well I decide on Bayern Munich… the match started off well for me when I managed to score a sloppy goal with Klose… was very lucky to be in the lead… but soon after Dzeko scored a great goal after being put through by Grafite… but I managed to score right back with a great goal by Schweinsteiger after being set up by Ribery!!! With the victory basically in the bag I manage to pass the ball out to Dzeko from my keeper… and we slots it away… the game played out for a draw… but I thought I had him!!!( ½-1½)

Match 3 – Next up is the Serie A… and in a repeat from the match against Nat… Sheep picks Inter
And once again I chose AC Milan!!! And this match start out with a nasty tackle… and it didn’t start there… but before the violence started Pandav scored a great goal after being put through by Etto’o and went into half time in the lead!!! And as the match begin for the second half I managed to lose two players to red cards with in a couple of minutes… the match was over from that point… but that didn’t stop Sheep scoring two mores against me… I had no chance when I went down to nine men… but it was a close game before that… and I did save a penalty which was fun!!!
(½-2½)

Match 4 – Well Sheep is assured of at least a draw and the selects the French Liga 1… and goes for Lyon while I go with Marseille… and it was a tight game… my keeper was on fire… Sheep should of scored on so many occasions… but the keepers and defenders where there to save the day… and when the final whistle went I thought I was a lucky son of a bitch… Sheep should have had that one!!! (1-3)

Match 5 – Final match is a match in the Premier League against our two teams... Sheep picks Spurs… and me the Pool!!! And the match started badly for me when Skrtel took out Van Der Vaart in the penalty area… the referee awarded a penalty and Van Der Vaart slotted it away… Van Der Vaart scored once gain after being put through by Lennon… and a bit of day cha vou happened when Skrtel once again took Van Der Vaart out and he slotted home another penalty…. Mr Liverpool scored one back for Liverpool with a thunderous striker from outside the box… and after Defoe was subbed off after getting injured in a tackle Pavlyuchenko came on and made his mark in the game after several minutes after Reina parried a shot from Lennon only for it to land at the feet of Pavlyuchenko to slot it in…. Spurs went in at half time with a 4 – 1 lead… and in the second half they scored their fifth once again Van Der Vaart scored after a through ball by Pavlyuchenko!!! The match got worse for me when big JC got booked… and then moments later received his second yellow and was sent for an early shower… the best thing in this match for me when the referee called time on the game… Sheep was on fire with Spurs… some might say unstoppable!!! (1-4)

FIFA 2011 - Challenger One Review

FIFA 2011 Results - Challenger 0ne

Match 1 - Well it’s the start of the new season… I mean the first challenger in the FIFA Challenge and Natalie goes for the English Premier League… Nat goes straight away for Manchester United after hovering over their City rivals… I choose the only team I could… and that was Liverpool… well the match started off slow with both of use trying to get our buttons right… and it wasn’t long till the game got interesting before Nat scored with Rooney after his shot was parried into the air only for him to header it into the back of the net!!! But it wasn’t long till I made it level after a good run by Torres I was able to cross it in to find Lucas… and he actually scored instead of making a meal of it like he would in real life… the half time whistle went soon after the equaliser… and in the second half it was end to end stuff… several chances created but nothing ever came from it… and in the dying minutes of the match the bruising tackles started to come in… but the whistle went before the ref could send anyone off… good close match!!! (½-½)

Match 2 – The next match Nat chooses the German Bundesliga league and picks Bayern Munich… after having a couple of teams in mind I decide on Hamburger SV… and the match starts off very evenly… but the tide changes when Guerrero picks up a yellow card and moments later a second… and off for an early shower he goes… with me down to ten men a switch off tactics is in order and the match starts once again… and it wasn’t long until Natalie managed to get a goal… Ribery crossed in a great ball from the corner for Badstuder to head it home… Hamburger SV never gave up the fight and fought tooth and nail to get back into the match… and were all over Bayern Munich in the second half and had a great chance to draw level Rudd the Donkey’s shot was parried and his follow up hit the side netting… I fought on but that never came to anything and the match ended one nil… a very frustrating match for me especially losing a man early on and fought I didn’t let Nat do a single thing in the second half!!!( ½-1½)

Match 3 – The next league that is chosen by Nat is the Spanish… and straight away I knew she would go for Barca and she does… while I go for Real Madrid… and this match wasn’t even close… I was all over Nat from the start of the match to the whistle at the end… the first goal was scored when Higuain went on a crazy run and crossed it in allowing Benzema to header it in… frustration was getting high for Nat and she lashed out in a moment of madness giving me a penalty which I converted with ease… with the match over I ended up scoring another goal after once again going on a great run with Higuain taking both centre defenders with me giving me space to roll the ball into KaKa so he could slot it away for the third and his second… a very good match… and I actually showed some signs of my old form in this game… bring on the next match!!! (1½-1½)

Match 4 – Serie A is up next and it’s the Milan derby at the San Siro… Nat goes with Inter while I’m AC… should be a cracker man… both teams look like they will be going all-out attack… and it was all very one sided at the start with AC having many chances… but they also controlled the game not allowing Inter any chances… half time came and went with no goals in sight… a few changes with AC bringing Seedoff on… and Inter change formations… and it seems to work straight away with Militos shot being saved for only Etto’o to slot in the rebound… but almost instantly Ibrahimovic is put through by Pirlo and he slots it time for the equaliser!!! Nat decides to bring fresh legs on and comedy fashion she subs a player who she just brought on wasting a sub… what an idiot… but the subs meant nothing as seconds later Ibrahimovic ran the defends out and made a nice pass to Pato who was unmarked in the middle of the box and placed it in the bottom left hand corner for the second!!! But there was nothing Nat could do but get really angry after the final whistle went… final score 2–1!!! (2½-1½)

Match 5 – Nat throws a wild card into mix by picking the English N Power Championship… she decides on Burnley and I go for Cardiff!!! And within five minutes she gets the first goal in a move similar to her Etto’o goal… but this time its ex scumbag Chris Eagles!!! Cardiff battled and battled but nothing they seemed to do would go back in the net… even in the second half Cardiff were all over them… but no matter what Cardiff and Craig Bellamy did nothing worked and they ended up still lost 1–0!!! (2½-2½)
