Wayne\'o Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 2 players in the world cup that has grabbed my attention so far that i didn't even know excisted in football despite playing FM for years. Mesut Ozil and Eijero Elia, i really enjoyed watching both players. if these players were English they would be claimed to be best in world.. IMO they certainly make so called big english players look standerd.. Has any players in the World cup made you look them up on FM..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherica- Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 they are already quite well known even before the World Cup. especially for Ozil. and probably most of us are just wondering if they can live up to the expectation of how good they are in FM10 ^^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgar555 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 How could you not know about Ozil and Elia? :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilo_G Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'll admit I hadn't heard of Elia, but isn't Ozil a bit of a legend. First time I have watched Montolivo and Gourcuff IRL, though. I was impressed with them both, even after knowing how legendary they are on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polskaGOLA Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Elia is a player easily forgetable... But how do you not know Ozil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Gourcuff? He was poor in the Uruguay match, much like the French team as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilo_G Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 He showed a bit of quality I thought. I wasn't paying full attention but I thought he and Toulalan did alright. It was plain that they could have done much better, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Gourcuff? He was poor in the Uruguay match, much like the French team as a whole. I only noticed he did one FK in the whole game, and it was one of them 'did he mean it, was it a cross' type of FK's. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. Played much better in Ligue 1.

polskaGOLA Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 As I understood, there is a huge rift in the French Squad, with Anelka and some other forward player refusing to pass the ball too Gourcuff. (And the problems with Gallas, and the others) Could be the reason why Gourcuff didn't play well for the NT, and France in general, when the other players refuse to pass the ball to the playmaker.

Oswaldo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The only player so far who has impressed me who I hadn't heard of is that South African who scored the banger, Shambalalalala or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe__the__man Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Tshabalala. What about the N.Korean, Jong? Wonder how he's rated on FM aha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambleten Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 have to admit, i did just search Tae-Se Jong after that performance against Brazil. didnt come up on my Man City save, so i'll have to try my International one that has more players loaded. but what about that Robinho lad, he's a bit skillful on the ball isnt he? wonder how good he is on FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Tshabalala.What about the N.Korean, Jong? Wonder how he's rated on FM aha. Searched and couldn't find Joe Was the first thing I did! May need NK leagues loaded... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObaMartins09 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 He plays in Japan, that's why he won't appear. I have the J-League players added in my game though so he should appear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TonyVain- Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Mphela and Gaxa from South Africa Prince Tagoe from Ghana Kawashima the Japanese keeper Jong from N Korea and I know they are well known around here but I have been most impressed by two Africans... Enyeama and Asamoah Gyan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshotbg Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can`t believe someone who`s into football and plays FM hasn`t heard of these players... Maybe I`m just watching too much football from all around the world, but still... Can`t imagine not knowing Ozil? Seeing Gourcuff for the first time? Come on, CL football!

Domenech is mental and they have the master of dressing room unrest in their midst, Gallas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generation-Next Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Was commentating on the Nigeria game on OTF Radio with ssestig. Was amazed by Vincent Enyeama. Lionel tested him, 3/4/5 times with really good efforts, he dealt with them comfortably. Even pulling off a wrong handed save, probably just for the cameras VINCENT FTW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TonyVain- Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Modise's performance against Mexico made someone look him up on FM? I thought his decision making was terrible and he kept giving the ball away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'wrong handed save' wasn't actually wrong handed. It's far more easier to reach the ball if you use you hand which is furthest away if you attempt a save like that.

rimm! Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I was well disappointed I couldnt find either Jong the NK player or Tshabalala on my game, so I bought a South African regen to cheer myself up. Couldnt even find a North Korean regen, very disappointing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribbled his name down as I'd never heard of him. And I was impressed by Elia too. Had never heard of him either until the Holland game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambleten Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Found Tshabalala after a bit of searching, but I couldnt find Jong, even after downloading additional leagues.

To be fair, Ozil has been pretty good on FM for the last 3 years, so you can quit the sarcasm! Just because you had never heard of him before doesnt mean we are all pedantic because we have!

It's far more easier to reach the ball if you use you hand which is furthest away if you attempt a save like that. I'm also a goal keeper , but I think going for the hand closest, e.g - Left corner/left hand. Right corner/right hand - - Is probably the safest option, but yeah, there are times when you need to pop out a save with the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
