Wee Aja Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't think I've ever seen a Champions League group as tight as this. I'm about to play Lazio (home) on match day 6. We're all on equal points and ANY two from the group can go through. My board expect me to "Reach the first knock-out round" so I MUST win this game, no excuses. Lazio beat me 3-1 at their ground on match day 1. So, no pressure then.... Ever seen a group so tight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Aja Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 good luck!!,damn!! thats something hard!! Yeah, I've never reached match day 6 and been able to finish 1st, 2nd 3rd or 4th. I'm top of the group with 1 game left yet I might come last, and not even make the UEFA Cup! Strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ediocy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Haha, tough luck on the seedings that resulted in your group Wee Aja. All the best with qualification though!

r0x0r Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I truely hope you both draw. all 4 places being decided by goal difference would be awesome. It'd probably be a new record low poitns for winning your group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Aja Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 They dominated the first 30 minutes, but as soon as we scored they just fell apart.... we beat them 4-0 and won the group. Liverpool beat Porto 3-0 to claim second spot. Being a Liverpool supporter, I'm glad they went through too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy38 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 You've done something amazing - you've posted about your standard save game and have a bunch of people who are excited and want to know what happens next! Usually people write about their game hoping someone will be interested, and you get a 'tell us about your game' thread with 100 posts but no replies to any of them, cos most of us want to tell everyone, but don't care for others. Anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuko Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I once saw a group in my game where in the first 4 games all teams had 2 wins and 2 defeats but that was as good as it got. It'd be a hell lot more fun if in your game your last games ended as draw and had 8 points each Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 So I was drawn against Juventus. I reckon I'll beat them and go at least one step further than my boards expectations. *for anyone who was interested earlier.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Aja Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I find it odd that this one has inspired so much interest. Apparently, a thread like this would normally just drift off into oblivion, yet here it is with some "regular fans" (for want of a better phrase). I say "odd" because I'm not reporting on a bug, an annoyance, or even a really weird event like that thread where the GK and CF kept swapping positions. I'm not even asking a question, nor seeking help of any kind. If people are genuinely interested I WILL keep you informed, although I fear it (this thread) may be closed by mods as (to be perfectly honest) it serves no real purpose for the GQ. Almost makes me sad that I never wrote it from the start (of the save) for the FM Stories forum. I'm certain that that group position in the opening post would've been a great cliff-hanger for the end of a chapter.... Aja. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It's like the thread that Wijnand fens started. It's something so interesting that most of us probably won't see in our games.
