I was between picking Kubica or a Mercedes chassis. Chose the chassis.

Funny... this just confirms that around 90% of our players aren't in their best moment. Most of these aren't even in a good moment. Some of these are performing poorly for several months!

Sigh.

Our line up is set for the World Cup. Easily the worst midfield ever. Zeug will like the fact that Grafite will be there. Don't think he'll play though.

All in all a crap team.

Not too bad for me. Wasn't expecting much since I didn't change anything from last time.

Good thing I have some money now. Better driver or better engine?

Damn, looks like Petrov will lose 5 positions on the grid for a gearbox change.

I was tempted to switch to Kobayashi as well, but he has yet to finish a GP with that bomb of a car. Maybe this is the one.

Hoping for an eventful race, so my drivers can climb the field a bit.

Seems like you were right.

Don't think they were poor, like playing badly. They just had nowhere to go, Inter's defence was perfect.

Just to throw some wood in the fire, I can't see what was illegal about the second goal.

You're not losing much.

Inter keeps everyone behind the line of the ball, Barcelona keeps passing around doing nothing.

Just say the day.

Nice work Brytech GP.

Good race for me. Picking Renault was a good move, Kubica is being bloody awesome. And Petrov, who could tell! If things keep going this way I might actually start fighting for a cap.

We're at top 3 now in the subleague competition, but still not catching first.

Same here.

Grats Ross County!

Yay.

Humpf, switching Force India engine for Renault didn't change anything. Good thing I dropped Williams on the last minute though.

Gotta start investing on some drivers...

Fabregas should switch sides.

E: quite surprised about the result, what a game!

Up 3 positions.

Saved by Chandhok!

Gotta love these small, warm stadiums. And the invasion!

Sigh.
We only have invasions in here when it's for fighting and breaking things apart purposes. And then they decide to do a World Cup.

Grats on getting to semis.

Doesn't change anything. Except that you'll obviously get fired if you overtake me.

I'll definitely be there, if I can. My dusty FOX is in the garage since the last reunion.

Not a bad start. I even got most of the bets right! Need lots of money though, anyone willing to help?

Also, is the website extremely slow for you guys as well?

Quote from 1993weeman :

Yeah, i have always felt sorry for SRS taking you onboard, They must of been drunk when the made that choice.

Hahah.. It's tactics. We sign a slow driver so I don't look so slow next to him.
No really, the sense of humor is worth it.

Anyway good luck Keith.

Quote from dadge :

your defence was not as solid as you think. you want your midfeild to defend more but you also want Ronaldinho to start...this guy doesn't know how to run back and defend.

I said it is solid, but they were so sleepy last night...
I want midfield players that defend better and actually know how to play when we have the ball. Two good defensive midfielders is plenty. It's all about keeping the ball for yourself, and our midfield can't seem to do that.

Quote from dadge :

for sure. but in the first half Brazil were non-existant. ireland should of taken advantage of that. ireland need another few years to work on their stamina. robbie keane had a great game. he was everywhere. he was also controling the irish midfeild quite well and at times, Brazil didn't have an answer for him.

Please I don't mean to offend anyone here, but that's what I meant by 'boring game' and 'blame the lack of talent from the other teams'. As good as Ireland played (and they did what they could), we were actually walking all first half, and still managed to reach half-time leading the score (illegal and O/G, but not our fault).
Leave "ugly but effective" football to Italy or Germany. It's unacceptable for Brazil to play that bad.

Brazil 2-0 Ireland

Crappy line-up as usual, boring game as usual, win as usual. I'll comment on our team just because it's the one I know better.

It's quite impressive how our manager can completely ignore the best players and keep calling the ones he want. Although we're experiencing a pretty good time results-wise, the football was never brilliant and I wouldn't be surprised with a poor and/or brief participation on the World Cup. I personally blame the lack of talent from the other teams, this is hardly our best team (a good one at the best case scenario).

The defence is solid (although someone explain to me why Luisao and not Thiago Silva), maybe a little lacking on the left side.

Midfield is crap, too slow, too defensive yet doesn't defend.. the ball always reach our defence somehow. Gilberto Silva must go, I don't have enough fingers to count how many players would do better than him (and that's only considering local players). Ramires as an offensive midfielder? You gotta be kidding me.
Judging how things are going we'll have only Kaká as a real player on the World Cup, please lord don't let him get injured!

Attack is again sub-optimal, although pretty good. Nilmar should be playing over Robinho, not the other way around. Heck, little Robson shouldn't even be there! Adriano is a safe bet, but again wouldn't be on my team.

Just to finish my rant, Robinho should be banned from the universe.


How were the other friendly matches? There's more tomorrow as well, I heard...
