bomjr Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ok guys, could you please do me a favor? Could you open your editors and search for Silliman. You'll find that its the only Filipino team in the game. And Mr. Alvin Montanes is the only player. He's born in 1985. I graduated from Silliman University and met my wife there, way back. Its in Dumaguete City, a small province in the Philippines. Now how the heck does a university (especially a not so famous one world wide) get into FM? I mean... they don't even have a football league for crying out loud! To make it worst, they call it soccer! What about bigger schools like University of the Philippines, or Ateneo, or something? And who the heck is this Alvin guy!? There has never been a famous Filipino football player ever! Except for the half Filipinos like Jamie Hall. And I don't think he even cares about improving the Filipino community. Is there a Filipino in the SI team? Cuz I wanna wack him silly. This is such a weird discovery for me. Has anyone found anything bizzare and ironic like what I found? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomjr Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Maybe you guys misinterpret what I meant. I'm not really gonna wack him. Guess I just need more emoticons Although the gun idea by swarfega would be really nice The point is, its not accurate. And with my limited knowledge of real football database, for once I could say that this one is REALLY not accurate. Hooray for me! Silliman is not a legitimate competitive team. But what I would really want to know is, how in the world did SI ever know about Silliman? Its just an ordinary university with no football significance. Among all the better universities out there , why Silliman... WHYYYYYYYY!!! Oh the agony... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
