Football / Manchester United lacks a good midfield
« on: April 06, 2006, 07:01:08 PM »
Manchester United lacks a midfield
ever since Beckham and Keanes departure...the midfield has been broken down.
There are really no solid and brilliant midfielders playing for MAn U as were Beckham and Keane
Yes Ronaldo is sometimes brilliant but definitely not solid,Giggs looks out of it at this stage...age being a huge factor
This is something Manchester United need to focus on.
and they will be are planning on doing this by signing Argentine star Riquelme for the next season
but to me riquelme also has fitness problems relating to age
so i not sure if this signing will be the right decision
but u never kno

New advanced shooting mechanics
Joe Nickolls: In our other FIFA games when you are shooting you have to hold down the button to determine how hard you shoot the ball. What we found is that as you come in on goal users get excited and hold down the button far too long, blasting the ball over the bar, and sending it way off target. That was frustrating for users. In 2006 FIFA World Cup when you hold the shoot button down now it will control the angle of the shot. So if you hold the button down longer it will increase the angle of the shot and if you just tap the button the shot will be low. We take care of the power and kind of shot for you.
The shooting model has been much improved with context sensitive AI. Shooting now takes into account distance and angle from goal. Also pressure from defending players will have a direct effect on the success of the shot. .
wah kinda shyt is dat
a expert fifa gamer like me have to compensate for dem shytty ppl dat cah control a power meter??!steups
daz rell crap dat de controling d power of d shot now i.e. no bussing de net at will
all we could do is angle it...
sounding shytty ...but we will see how dis works out
but one ting dat will be sweet
is dat i hav an xbox

Football / TechnicalProblems in our Football Squad
« on: February 26, 2006, 08:56:26 PM »
After Watching all of our home games on dvd
i realised that we have a few consistent major problems
#1 Horrible defence....in almost every match ,,,Dennis Lawrence and Marvin looked nervous and kept making mistakes such a mis kicking the ball,,,,,send long balls up the pitch to noone on our team (mainly Marvin) and not marking defenderes on set plays(namely Corners)
At times Marvin does look to heavy to jump and Tallman does look to feeble to mark a defender
I belive we should have a 4 line defence or even 5 line defence in WC or else we in trouble
#2 Inconsistent Midfield Players....namely SPANN and Edwards...many times Spann miskicked the ball and instead of his pass going to a players feet,,,i went outside the line of play...also the touch , Spann had a problem with his touches...he cant fully get control of the ball as fast as a Latapy or Yorke can..he seems to not have his eyes on the ball at times..and makes these mistakes..lack of experience.
Edwards...yes the man like a fancy beats and ting...but he does overdo it many times...epecially when he does it in the defence and loses it ..is something to look at...however when he get upfront to the right Wing...he gets himself brilliantly into space ...but MANNNN when he ready to cross....it is really horrible.....in most of the matches,,,i have seen him deliver 3/15 good crosses in the box...most of them hit straight to the defender, sometimes hit all the way across out of play...lack of experience
I really would like to see these two main things adjusted before WC comes
because these are some major faults that we happen to carry
But i believe Beenhaaker has noticed these and many more and i pray that he fixes them in time
either by getting a midfielder in place of Spann or Getting another defender for our defensive line
But lets just lookout for these things on Tuesday ...and hope we wont see what we were seeing in the Home matches against Bahrain...etc.
Have a gud Carnival PPL Peace

Football / T&T vs. Honduras 5-stars
« on: February 24, 2006, 06:33:17 PM »
T&T W/Cup hopefuls end camp with 2-1 win - Feb 5, 2006
United States College-based forward Darryl Roberts netted a 77th minute winner to give a Trinidad and Tobago squad of World Cup hopefuls a deserved 2-1 victory over Miami-based Honduras 5-Stars in a training outing at the Sunrise Hilton Ground on Sunday.
Kevon Neaves (left), Julius James and Anthony Noreiga try to close down this attack by Honduras 5-Stars. (TTFF Media)
Roberts, playing the full 90 minutes struck in front of Beenhakker who used the second match of the training camp to have a better idea of some of the new players at his disposal as well as fine tune some of the regulars from the team which went through the qualification phase for Germany 2006.
And following a slim 1-0 win over Florida International University on Friday, Beenhakker’s squad not only met a tougher opposition this time but also gave a better showing in the early afternoon affair which was played in chilly conditions from 1pm (2pm T&T Time). Their opponents this time comprised of Honduran players who have played in their country’s domestic league as well as have featured on Honduran National Youth teams and are now with the 5-Stars which holds a high record in the Copa Latina competition. T&T-born player Jason Sealey was also in their line up.
Whitley in control
Beenhakker’s starting team was Jan Michael Williams in goal, Nigel Henry, Atiba Charles, Julius James Anthony Noreiga, Kerry Baptiste, Osei Telesford. Kevon Neaves, Anthony Wolfe, Anthony Rougier and Roberts. Errol McFarlane was not considered due to a groin strain.
The Hondurans were busy from the first whistle but T&T also started in high gear and took the lead in the 5th minute through Noreiga who couldn’t; have hoped for a better way leaving a good impression before heading off to join new MLS side Kansas City Wizards.
A well whipped in right side corner by Neaves was nodded back in from the far post for Noreiga to direct his header past goalie Richard Pinevyo.
Seven minutes later Roberts collected and cut back in on the left side before shooting wide of the far post as T&T settled early and pressed for further advantage. Noreiga, composed at the back, was also making himself wisely useful in attack and was up for the spot kicks around the widths of the penalty box. His downward header went inches wide from a left side corner in the 16th minute.
While the Hondurans were playing their known short passing and nippy style of game, T&T also kept up the pace and did it well with possession play.
A minute after Noreiga’s miss, Baptiste was well picked out wide on the right of the box and he moved in on goal before seeing his low crack blocked by the advancing goalie.
Persistence paid off for the Hondurans when a mix up between an advancing Williams and Noreiga in attempt to claim a high ball played into the box allowed Eduardo Ravenna to squeeze between both of them and run on the loose ball before hitting home into an unprotected goal.
Baptiste latched on to another Wolfe pass just before the break but once again his strong effort on goal was kept out by the ‘keeper. The scores were deadlock at the interval but Beenhakker appeared to be liking what he was seeing. He then allowed Silvio Spann, Cyd Gray and Aurtis Whitley some action by putting them on in place of Noreiga, Wolfe and Baptiste for the start of the second half.
Just after the resumption, good hustle by Gray and Spann allowed the ball to bounce into Whitley’s path and he had no hesitation before sending a right footed volley just wide of the far post from way out on the right of the area.
Rougier also had a shy at goal soon after but then Osman Pavon tested Williams with a free kick attempt on the left, forcing the young goalie to block on his near post.
Leovanny Bueso also brought Williams into action with a well taken free kick which he pushed out in the 54th minute as the Hondurans pushed more forward during the early stages of the half. But T&T withstood the pressure and gradually regained control of proceedings.
Neaves posed a constant threat to the opposing team on the left as he attempted to take on players at every given opportunity and he also created problems with some well whipped in balls from that end.
The eventual winner came when Neaves body-beat his man on the flank causing him to hit the surface on his backside, before playing it inside for Whitley who couldn’t get the shot off but was composed enough to get it through to Roberts and his quickly taken shot was only partially blocked by the ‘keeper before it trickled over the line.
Beenhakker later told his players as they walked off following the final whistle “Good effort guys. I like it. I like it very much. Thank you for the effort.”
The US-based players – Telesford, Roberts, Neaves and Noreiga will report back to their colleges and club on Sunday evening while the rest of the T&T contingent is scheduled to fly in to Trinidad at 7pm on Monday with the exception of Rougier who heads out to England. Beenhakker will announce a provisional squad of 30 players this week from which the 20-man squad for the Iceland game will come from.

Football / Sydney Fc defeats Adelaide 2-1 (4-3) agg
« on: February 19, 2006, 08:02:47 AM »
SYDNEY FC INTO FINALS
Sunday, 19 February, 2006 - 9:29PM
Sydney FC will host the inaugural A-League grand final after Mark Rudan scored a dramatic late winner to give Sydney FC a 2-1 win over Adelaide United in a fiercely contested clash in front of another A-League record crowd of 30,377 at Aussie Stadium tonight.
Thirteen months after coming together to start pre-season training, Sydney FC’s journey that has taken them to Tahiti and Japan, as well as the trials and tribulations of the A-League, now sees them as the first team into the March 5 Grand Final.
Aussie Stadium will be the venue for the inaugural A-League grand final and after 30,377 fans filed into the same stadium tonight, there is little doubt it will be a full house when Sydney FC fights to win the title on March 5.
Sydney FC will have to wait to see who wins next weekend’s Preliminary Final between Adelaide United and the Central Coast Mariners at Hindmarsh Stadium to see who they will play in the decider.
The 5th meeting between these two teams served up another match that was dripping with feeling, had some good goals, tension, atmosphere and a bit of agro but it was Sydney FC defender Mark Rudan who decided the issue with a 76th minute winner.
It was a special night for Rudan, who capped off a tremendous comeback to score the winner and send the crowd into raptures.
Earlier in the year, Rudan was named Sydney FC Captain before injury and the form of young defenders Iain Fyfe and Jacob Timpano forced him into a long lay off. He returned to the starting team five weeks ago and has not looked back since.
The 30-year-old was a rock at the back, shutting down the dangerous Adelaide duo of Shengqing Qu and Fernando Rech, and then bobbed up at the far post to slot home the goal that sent Sydney FC through to the grand final.
The match started at a cracking pace as both teams had chances to open the scoring in the first minute but the occasion seemed to spook the sides for the following 15 minutes.
Sydney FC, buoyed by an A-League record crowd, slowly started to get on top and it was Saso Petrovski who opened the scoring in the 29th minute when he was played in behind the defence by Ruben Zadkovich.
Petrovski’s 9th goal of the season brought Sydney FC to life and they went to the break leading 1-0 and with momentum.
That changed in the second half as Adelaide came out searching for the two goals they needed to score to get through to the Grand Final and Sydney FC retreated too deep in defending the lead.
Adelaide leveled the issue in the 60th minute when they scored a well deserved equalizer through Shengqing Qu, who slotted home a goal that was identical to the goal Fernando Rech scored last weekend.
The equalizer seemed to jolt Sydney FC back into action and both teams had chances to go ahead before Rudan struck with his third goal of the season in the 76th minute. It was certainly the most important goal he has scored this season.
A set piece was half cleared and Rudan remained forward, bobbing up at the far post to slam the ball home following an inch-perfect cross from Mark Milligan.
The final 15 minutes saw Adelaide unlucky not to net a second equalizer that would have sent the game into extra time but it was not to be and Sydney FC won through to the Grand Final.
Rudan was again the hero late in the game when he cleared a ball off the line following a shot by Fernando Rech.
Sydney FC did score a second goal when Andrew Packer seemed to have out the icing on the cake in the 88th minute but it was ruled out for offside.
In the end it didn’t matter and Sydney FC was the first team through to the March 5 Grand Final.
Tickets for the Grand Final go on sale to Sydney FC season ticket holders and members on Monday, to the (FFA) Football Family on Tuesday and the general public on Wednesday.

Sydney FC will host the inaugural A-League grand final after Mark Rudan scored a dramatic late winner to give Sydney FC a 2-1 win over Adelaide United in a fiercely contested clash in front of another A-League record crowd of 30,377 at Aussie Stadium tonight.
Thirteen months after coming together to start pre-season training, Sydney FC’s journey that has taken them to Tahiti and Japan, as well as the trials and tribulations of the A-League, now sees them as the first team into the March 5 Grand Final.
Aussie Stadium will be the venue for the inaugural A-League grand final and after 30,377 fans filed into the same stadium tonight, there is little doubt it will be a full house when Sydney FC fights to win the title on March 5.
Sydney FC will have to wait to see who wins next weekend’s Preliminary Final between Adelaide United and the Central Coast Mariners at Hindmarsh Stadium to see who they will play in the decider.
The 5th meeting between these two teams served up another match that was dripping with feeling, had some good goals, tension, atmosphere and a bit of agro but it was Sydney FC defender Mark Rudan who decided the issue with a 76th minute winner.
It was a special night for Rudan, who capped off a tremendous comeback to score the winner and send the crowd into raptures.
Earlier in the year, Rudan was named Sydney FC Captain before injury and the form of young defenders Iain Fyfe and Jacob Timpano forced him into a long lay off. He returned to the starting team five weeks ago and has not looked back since.
The 30-year-old was a rock at the back, shutting down the dangerous Adelaide duo of Shengqing Qu and Fernando Rech, and then bobbed up at the far post to slot home the goal that sent Sydney FC through to the grand final.
The match started at a cracking pace as both teams had chances to open the scoring in the first minute but the occasion seemed to spook the sides for the following 15 minutes.
Sydney FC, buoyed by an A-League record crowd, slowly started to get on top and it was Saso Petrovski who opened the scoring in the 29th minute when he was played in behind the defence by Ruben Zadkovich.
Petrovski’s 9th goal of the season brought Sydney FC to life and they went to the break leading 1-0 and with momentum.
That changed in the second half as Adelaide came out searching for the two goals they needed to score to get through to the Grand Final and Sydney FC retreated too deep in defending the lead.
Adelaide leveled the issue in the 60th minute when they scored a well deserved equalizer through Shengqing Qu, who slotted home a goal that was identical to the goal Fernando Rech scored last weekend.
The equalizer seemed to jolt Sydney FC back into action and both teams had chances to go ahead before Rudan struck with his third goal of the season in the 76th minute. It was certainly the most important goal he has scored this season.
A set piece was half cleared and Rudan remained forward, bobbing up at the far post to slam the ball home following an inch-perfect cross from Mark Milligan.
The final 15 minutes saw Adelaide unlucky not to net a second equalizer that would have sent the game into extra time but it was not to be and Sydney FC won through to the Grand Final.
Rudan was again the hero late in the game when he cleared a ball off the line following a shot by Fernando Rech.
Sydney FC did score a second goal when Andrew Packer seemed to have out the icing on the cake in the 88th minute but it was ruled out for offside.
In the end it didn’t matter and Sydney FC was the first team through to the March 5 Grand Final.
