"Football Manager '05"

Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.

It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.







I love Football Manager '05

Was sensational in my one, third top scorer. First was Carlton Cole, surprisingly. Owen didn't even make the squad, nor did Gerrard.

Now I mention it, does anyone else have trouble with Gerrard constantly underperforming? It's not as if his stats are particularly underrated (though he certainly deserves to be in the red for corners and free kicks, and passing and long shots should be nearer to 20), and he's both mentally and physically phenomenal...

But despite all this, he's often invisible, popping up every now and again to score a goal or make a pass, but nowhere near his real life presence. He's a classic 7/10 man, I find.

My World Cup was more normal with Brazil and Argentina in the final with Brazil coming out on top with a Ronaldinho goal winning it for them.

Germany and France went out in the group stages which was nice, Italy went out in the second round to Croatia after a 24 penalty shoot out thriller. Portugal lost to Team USA in the second round as well.

England were beaten by Brazil in the semi's and beat Romania for the 3rd place with Rooney not scoring any goals through the whole tournament.

Just had the World Cup in my Chelsea game.

Guess who won? Uh-huh, that's right. England. About right. 3-1 against Norway.

Brazil went out in the quarter-finals, as usual...

Wales made it to the quarters!

And in the semis: England, Ireland, Norway, Denmark.

Hilarity. Well, not really. But a bit odd.

Ordering FM2006 as we speak due to winning GAD :D

I cant actually beleive I spelt that wrong. I must've been tired.

EDIT: At 3:32pm? Nah, I couldn't have been tired. :P

Anyways, FM2006 should be with me today along with Pro Evo. I dont mind if Pro Evo doesn't come today cause it mean more time for FM, but if it does come i'll play them both at the same time methinks.
