I hate FIFA so much

Henrik Larsson still preserving his goal form, an over-head kick in Phil O'Donnells tribute match with Celtic yesterday. You better watch out Greece, Spain and Russia!!

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I think the controller is fine. The controller being light is a good thing. It feels comfortable too. Its not as good as ther 360 controller, but its good. It feels like any of the other PS controllers minus the rumble, which isnt such a big deal for me.hadareud said:
Just consider us lucky that Sony didnt stick with this beast for their controller
:lol
Yeah UI is nice and you can customise it too. I've got a pretty cool GTA theme atm
I've also got a ronaldo one saved on the harddrive. You would love it.
Mine was silent until I bought GTA. Now, my PS3 occasionallymakes loud fan noises when I play GTA. It basically sounds like hairdryer. Has anyone elses had a problem like that?
Is the Dualshock essential for MGS4? Damn Sony for still keeping the sixaxis in circulation.
By the way
First player I would buy in FM2009 (yes, I'm that addicted):
Man Utd - Ibrahimovic
Chelsea - Diego
Arsenal - Rafeal Marquez
Liverpool - Quaresma
Everton - van der Vaart
Aston Villa - Crouch
...
Man City - Cassano
Tottenham - Miguel Veloso
Will think about the other leagues (actually this is off the top of my head) when the Euro is over.
I'm finally a full member. What are the benefits? (I always though full members had more smilies...)

My advice is get a spare controller so you can alternate when the battery needs charging infact I reccomend that to everyone on every console having a wireless controller, I just can't play wired anymore even if charging.
My stance on rumble has been from day one that I'm not bovered and I still don't, but I'm reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaally tempted to import a dualshock 3 in the run up to MGS4 and I don't know why.
You can now start retarded threads only to get demoted back to junior.
:lol :lol :lolTanned Greyface said:
Only teams that have like a minimum of 2 European Cups are able to purchase Van der Vaart I reckon. Not including a possible brilliant tournament.
But then again, I always bought Ronaldo playing as Ajax when I played the 1996 version. Meant I had to sell everyone (even Van der Sar) but Ronaldo was like sure to hit 40 goals a season

Well FIFA have thrown a huge spanner in the machine for the Asian Football Federation. They've suspended current Asian Cup champions Iraq for a year.
Was the build up only yesterday.. and they've decided tonight to go forward with it.
I should be happy as it gives Australia the effective lead for the so called "group of death" in the qualifiers, since it was us, Iraq, China and Qatar. But at the same time.. I feel sorry for the Iraq team and the poor sods who bought tickets to go see the Aus v Iraq match on Sunday night in my city.

:lol I heard that one and can't believe it. Scousers will probably pass out a collection plate this summer to repay the loan.
If Mourinho goes to inter will he still want Drogba? He'll have Ibrahimovic, Balotelli and Adriano (not to mention Suazo, Crespo and Cruz), all battering rams and more skillful tha Drogba.
Back onto EA's Euro '08 bandwagon.
I picked it up on the weekend and I've played a little bit of it. While I agree, most of the new gameplay elements will be in the next FIFA game, the whole presentation side of thing with this type of game really just blows my mind!
I dont know about you boys, but I get really involved whenever there's a major international tournament. In '02 I read literally absolutley everything I could about the teams, the players and the tournament, and I watched a fuck load of games.
For '04, I was a couple of weeks away from starting a new job, so I had a couple of weeks free to sit around and do fuck all except watch the football...I was all over it.
'06 was a little different because I had moved to Canada, but still, I was all over the tournament.
So with '08, even though England arent actually involved, I'm still super excited. The EA games have always done a pretty good job of making me feel part of the party.
I'll be honest, in that I didnt play much of WC '02, or Euro '04, but I felt that WC '06 was a decent enough game. Along with Oblivion and PGR3, it was my first next-gen gaming experience, and I really enjoyed it. Whenever I watch football, I'm usually on my laptop playing a game of FM at the same time, and whenever I watch a big tournament, I always want to play a game as soon as the action has finished.
Who remembers EA's World Cup 98? That game was fucking amazing. I remember I bought it AFTER the tournament had finished, but I still played it solidly for a good 12 months. Those classic games were awesome - remember the grey faded images, and the big, orange, leather ball?
Anyway - thats why I buy this type of game - because at it's heart, it's just another FIFA, with updated graphics and some decent new modes that will surely be in '09.
But it works so well with the real tournament, that it makes me feel a little more excited about it all. I fucking love football!
Also, the battle of the nations thing is quite well done.

Barça signed Seydou Keita He's very similar to Yaya, a great header, can play as defensive/offensive or even creative midfielder and has an amazing powerful shot.
Right-back D.Alves, from Sevilla too, has already stated that he will also play in Barcelona next season.

Big game on Wednesday for a couple of the US players looking for a move this Summer. Bocanegra is out of contract with Fulhamerica, and Bradley's going somewhere. Recent rumors said that Everton might be dropping out of the bidding because of the proposed transfer fee, whereas Borough are stepping up their interest. Blackburn and Sunderland are still in the mix.
Feilhaber is out with a torn meniscus for 4-6 weeks. He'll have a tough time finding a club this Summer, though Derby don't seem to want him any more, so the transfer fee might be low enough for someone to take a chance on him.
