Ordered a new controller today. Gonna start calling you my 'Momentum Mate'. Prick. 🤣🤣❤️
Tbh, I loved playing the games and for 90-95% of each match I was reasonably happy with. Frustratingly i'm just paying for the cost of not playing FIFA for over 15 years.
Macca's both games were extremely tight, although first game I literally defended for 90 minutes and only lost 1-0. A last minute corner couldn't be forced in but my 2nd game with Macca later on in the evening, I ended up 2-0 up with 20 minutes gone and felt largely on top for a sudden change. I knew he'd get back into the game but was hoping to hold on for 60 minutes...but with 15-20 mins to go i was back at 2-2, only for a winner to go in on the last 10 minutes which I was certainly gutted about. The 4th only hit the night on the final whistle as I was just trying to find quick passes and sliding everywhere to get the ball back.
Jordies and James' games were decent games for majority of it. And then just lost concentration over little shitty FIFA moments which ultimately meant i got punished. A few late goals in both games ruined what were a little bit closer results albeit I was comfortable that I lost the games fair and square.
I really shouldn't have lost to Ant and Martin in our 2nd game though. I felt like I did enough in both games to easily get 3 points, forget the draw but thats where the Spanish inquisition i'll call it came marching in and buttfucked me. A pen one way that wasn't and a few pens my way that weren't was part of Ant's game, plagued by Spanish defenders incapable of holding off strikers who were behind the ball. And as Mart says above, the last 10 minutes were the most I felt violated in my life on FIFA 🤣
Thing is, whilst I got one 1 win out 7, it still was fun and we had great laughs throughout so I really hope people see what this can bring and we can crack on through it as we can do mini knockout tournaments along the way and after this has been completed if we keep enjoying it.
Now time to write my letter of complaint to FIFA and the Spanish manager for picking utter shite players rather than all the good ones in the game 😁
