shame the games are terrible lol

My mate got a black card of some player whose name I forget - but his rating was only like 68. It's still useless right?

68 rating.....Cherries you know who that is......GRABBAN !!!!! Joking calm down Grabban is 64 rating.

I hope this Rhodes Ive got sells for a bit. Its the first time ive bought a InForm Silver player. I dont know how many people actuall go for Silvers. Me & all my mates dont have a silver team.
There is only 3 of him currently on auction so hes very rare.

sILVER ARE RARER ANDMORE EX-ENSIVE AS SILVER PACKS ARE THE LEAST BOUGH AS WHEN PEOPLE GET PACKS they usually g0o for gold or splash spare coins on bronze,
by all rights IF GRABBAN!!! should have been a silver but EA kept his rating to a bronze for some reason still 83 pace and 72 shooting for a bronze is insane,

Depends on the silver. Silvers with high pace etc go for high amounts, generally more than gold tbf unless its a v.rare gold.

I don't think they are too bad

Cowboys/Skins will be good, and I love watching the Jets get beaten.

Texans/Lions may be closer than expected.

Morning

Marky if there was a poll for the greatest goal of all time then I think we'd have to take how important the fixture is into it. For example look at Giggs goal against Arsenal in the FA semi final still talked about till this day. No one will be talking about Ibras in 5 months time let alone 13 years.

pitman vs burton albion

Rhodes as 74 pace Have I made a bad investment?

Fo sure. Sherringham & Ole CL Final goals are still talked about, 13 years on.

If I had to do the greatest goals of all time, I honestly wouldn't consider the importance of the game.

In both Ibra and Mexes goals, I think where the ball ended up is entirely down to chance. You can't tell me that Mexes was aiming for the top corner. Both hit it in the general direction of the goal.

The technique is all about how they got up, how they hit the ball and I still think the best overheads kick is the Trevor Sinclair one purely for the speed of it coming into him.

whats his shooting

Marky wrote:Yeah, all Ibrahimovic had to do was an acrobatic overhead kick from 35 yards, going away from goal, while lobbing the goalkeeper. Rubbish.

Never said it was rubbish, but Mexes was acrobatic, a more difficult shot due to there being a defender at his back and a keeper on his line, and he chested it away from goal too...Ibra's goal could easily be replicated if I gave you 10 shots, but Mexes? I'd struggle to hit that effort once in 1000 attempts.

BigFellasAfro wrote:The technique is all about how they got up, how they hit the ball and I still think the best overheads kick is the Trevor Sinclair one purely for the speed of it coming into him.

And the ball was moving across his body too, so his timing was perfect.

Mexes' goal was excellent, but if I had to score one and not the other, I'd take Ibra's goal. The distance, the technique, the pure impudence to even try it.

How was it impudent to try to kick the ball into an empty goal? Hardly impudent, more like common sense.

Mexes on the other hand should have brought the ball down and got it into the box, so the fact he chests it up and overhead kicks it past a keeper is surely far more impudent.

I'd much rather have Mexes' goal on my CV than Ibra's, simply because it's so rare for a keeper to be overhead kicked from such a distance. Look at Rivaldo's goal, Sinclair's, Hughes's - these are all-time classic goals, and Mexes's goes right up there with them. Ibra's doesn't.

It was impudent because most footballers would just take the ball down and lay it off. They had a 3-2 lead - no need to try and crack an overhead kick in. I think it's extremely "uncommon sense" to consider you could ever pull it off. Let alone that he actually did.

I don't think Sanchez has another good game in him though! Are you up to watch?

I see your location. I have taken it into account for when I do you injuries...

Ahhh poop. there is now 5 InForm Rhodes for sale. One with less than an hour started at 150 so thats going to sell before mine. I may try but that one too

Most, but not all. Rooney would try it. Nayim. Aguero. Adebayor probably. If it's 2-2 there's no way you'd try it, but leading 3-2 in injury time against a lethargic England team? I'd be trying it, as I'm sure most people would.

Would you be playing for Belgium or Canada?

Rooney pulled one off against Cuty OOOOOOSH

You forgot Peter Crouch.

Didn't he shin it

Didn't he shin it

Ill shin your face!!
Rooney pulled it off, end of the day he had the audacity to attempt it and pull it off.

Rooney did shin it, but I suppose it's a bit of an achievement to have even gotten a shin on it as it came across his body. He misjudged the height, but the timing was bang on.

In honesty I'm a bit disappointed that Rooney doesn't score more spectacular goals. He had started to build a great back catalogue but they've dried up now.

Afro - Canada. It's my mother's country, Hargreaves is a traitor, and Tomasz Radzinski could be my strike partner

Damn, I was going to ask you to get Felli's shirt for me

Hargreaves was pure English beef. Look at his name - Hargreaves. That couldn't sound more English!

Plus Canada had Marc Burchill; would Owen even have gotten into their side?

His mum and dad are called Margaret and Colin. Even more English. Case closed I think

nice to see you still remember me lads

Hows it going?

I told you Afro that Hargreraves is a traitor. An now you're hearing it from a Canadian.

Azzy what link do you have to Belgium?

Fan the Man. You're never forgotten.

In fact Hero dreams of your return to promote his team of Spanish fledglings

The Eurostar?

Viva - you said that he was a traitor for not playing for Germany. I can dig out the post if you like.

Morning Fan, nice to see you!

You don't want a team do you? We have one spare...

Fan my main Man

Get your grumpy Scotch backside back in this league with the spare team

Viva - I'm 1/2 English, 1/2 Canadian and 1/2 Belgian. Me and my best friend bought cigars in 1996 that we said we'd only smoke if Belgium won the World Cup. We still have them

how long has this league been running??

Am all good, hope your all well

Who decided to dedicate a league to me

Fan ==

Remember

We did three seasons and reset it. It is now about 5 weeks (3 league games, 2 cup games) into season 1 of the reset.

Is this the legendary Fan.

Fan Gilhaus, nice to meet you. These lads speak a lot about you.

Anyone watch Breaking Bad ??

Paul Scholes's parents are Stewart and Marina. So he should play for Scotland

Hero named the leagues I think

If you're actually interested in managing a side, we have this one just vacated. It's probably one of the best going, too!

Did I Germany? He still a traitor either way.

Yes it is I ZZZ

better be all good or I wont join lol

In fairness to Hargreaves, he is the only member of his family born on Canada. Dad and brother English, Mum and other brother Welsh. He was born when they emigrated

Azzy do you watch Breaking Bad?

I'm going to have rename the leagues after Andy, Russell and Twist being that naming the leagues has resulted in getting those guys back!

Hi Fan btw, twas my idea over the name, I made a team in your honour by picking players some guys had never heard of, I even took it as far as having a strop when I played a 3-3-1-3 formation and being told it was ridiculous.
