We are going to suck this year…

By: jon | February 22nd, 2008

At least according to Fifa 2008. I got the January transfer window update yesterday, and I was initially excited, as I already play that game way too much. The updates had me thinking about playing with Gallardo and Niell when I got home from work, and scoring 20 goals with Anelka for the Blues.
But when I actually played, DC sucked. The new CB’s were slow, Niell was pushed off the ball every time, and Gallardo was stripped everytime and had no speed.
So if Fifa 2008 is any indicator, Toronto will beat us 4-1 this season.*

*Obviously, this won’t happen. And we’ll actually be good. But there’s nothing going on in DCU land, and I felt the need to update. This is what happens on those days.

  Dude, I was gonna write the same post about RBNY. I probably still will. FIFA posts get great responses.

  By the way, if your on XBOX360, I am looking to start an online tourney in the near future. Let me know if you are game for it.

  Man, what a gyp. The Wii version just gave us Gallardo and sent BC away. None of the players from teams not in the game were added and Troy, Boswell and Vanney are all still there….. *sigh*

  Is there a hack to the game where you can beat Boswell with a stick? If so, I’m in.

  haha Dave.

  I’m with you as far as getting owned on Live. I thought I was good. Real Madrid is unfair. It’s like Bo Jackson in Tecmo or Wayne Gretzky in NHLPA 93.

  Your thinking of Barcelona . . . I play NO ONE that uses Barce. UGH. Henry Messi and the gang are IMPOSSIBLE to beat. Second is Man U. Third, probably Real Madrid.

  the tourney post is coming later today. Have you ever done the tournament thing online? I havent . . .
