LOL, Jason... these things have a way of evening themselves out. I've clearly had the better squad in all my matches thus far, except against Spain. When we play even up, you guys will run off a few against me. Believe me, that score could've easily been reversed tonight...
Plus, I'm sure I'll eat plenty of crow in the MLB league!

Not against me. All of these other guys have been practicing and I don't even own the game yet .
Just so you know, I only beat Ted once in MVP 2005 and I always used the Yankees and he always used Seattle (except one time). I couldn't even hit one homerun during our 10 games against each other with the Yankee lineup .

You and I will be an even match, maybe! I won't have the game until Friday, at the earliest, and I haven't played MLB since about 1999...

Great game between Mexico (Jason) and Iran (me) last night... I wrote down the details but got sucked up by Oblivion before I had a chance to post them. Long story short:
Great defense all around. Iran outshot Mexico 20 to 7, but the only goal scored came off a cross that an Iranian player headed towards goal, but ended up bouncing about four different players before finally being directed in by what I believe was the Mexican goalie's left shoulder. Jason mounted a good late game attack, drawing a free kick from what was literally inches outside the box in the closing moments. The save was made, but the ball frittered in front of goal as time wound down, as several clumsy legs vied for it. Iran finally cleared to preserve the 1-0 victory. |

I'm scared now! If Jason can give you fits, I'm in trouble, especially now that he has a real squad to play with!

Goals: Portugal - Simao 26' Pauleta - 38', 53', 82' Portugal was in top form tonight, as Pauleta scored a hat trick against an out-manned Mexican squad. The Portuguese pressure was relentless to start the match, but the Mexicans defended well, until Simao headed home a beautiful service in the 26th minute to break the scoreless tie. To finish off the scoring in the first stanza, Pauleta displayed some fancy footwork to outwit the right side of the Mexican defense, and loft a pinpoint left-footed strike in the upper 90, off the keeper's mits.
An aggressive Mexico squad formualted some solid attacking opportunities in the second-half, only to come up short. Portugal's counter attack was deadly, as cross after cross found its target in the box. The opportunistic Pauleta capitalized on a give-away from about 30 yards for his third goal, and netted the last home on a service from the flank, as the inside size and strength advantage of the Portuguese squad was evident.

Goals: Portugal - Pauleta 0' Iran - Kaquetz 14' Vednikram 19', 26', 30', 70', 73', 84' Maquelweid 36' Well! Obviously it was the Vednikram show tonight. Just insane. Portugal jumped out to the VERY early lead, but Iran stormed back and held control for the entirety of the match. Iran's physical strength has made them the surprise of the bracket, as they always seem to successfully fight their way to loose balls or maintain position for the entry pass. Don't give up hope, Kevin! Iran is a pretty good team! There will be brackets in which to exact your revenge! |

Wow!!! I thought Kevin had a good shot at beating Seth tonight with Portugal.
