Subject: »[NT] World Cup

take a deep breath i totally feel you :( and totally agree with you but its what it is we need to keep trying

What a joke!!! Your whole game is one big joke. You just pick whoever you want to put in. Today you screwed Vietnam over with two red cards. Romania, who were clearly better than France, are out. What did Brazil even do today to deserve the win? They scored 2 goals out of 4 good attacks. We score 1 from 6 good attacks. You’ve ruined the game. You rig everything in the important matches however you want. A few sycophants here are talking about how great the game is, but in reality it’s a load of crap. This is a game, not real soccer.

Look how England got eliminated, look how Romania got eliminated, how Bulgaria got eliminated, and so on and so forth...
Congratulations to Brazil!!!! You aren’t to blame for anything!!!! You have a great coach, and I’ll be rooting for you to win the championship!!!! Although I’m 100% sure who the champion will be. A neighboring country keeps popping into my head.
I’ll keep saying this forever! You’re rigging the game! Just like a few seasons ago, when you rigged the penalty kicks in the Bulgaria-Croatia match—Bulgaria had five players with at least 17 goals, while Croatia had only two. That was your moment.


My friend, first of all, I want to congratulate you on making it this far—it’s not easy for any coach.
You’ve earned this, and I congratulate you on it.

Now, regarding the game, I invite you to watch it again.
I understand your frustration, but Brazil dominated the game from start to finish.
Brazil was much closer to scoring a third goal than Finland was to tying the game.
I invite everyone to watch the game and draw their own conclusions.
I think attributing your defeat solely to the game engine is totally unfair to my work.

For the third consecutive World Cup, I’ve led Brazil to the semifinals, and I’m satisfied with that. It’s no easy feat to get this far!
I hope that this time I can help Brazil win the trophy.
I will continue with great humility and effort!

Congratulations to everyone who made it through, and congratulations also to those who fell by the wayside.

Exactly what I'm talking about. I also think that Turkey will win. But Turkey had incredible generations with great coaches, and the game let them down at the expense of others. Do you understand? This is a game. The best one at the computer should win. Real football has nothing to do with this. There, things depend on many other factors.

Tomorrow you will be in my place. Remember that. What you are saying about today is not true. Not me, but you watch the match and say which team had cleaner opportunities. And how the game decided that your clear goal chances go in and ours do not. I tell you again that I have no complaints against you. You are not at fault. But in the semifinal, when they screw you over, you will say something else.

In the previous World Cup, I had a hunch about a name, and in the same week Poland lost (and it was eliminated). This season Poland also hasn't been successful. I always thought Poland had help, and after my hunch, things reversed. I think I had a good guess.

At the beginning of this season, my Facebook account (where I talk about the things I need to talk about) was hacked, someone tried to hack my Apple account, and my LinkedIn account was also hacked. I don't know who it was, but people like that are real. This isn't fiction. There are people behind a computer doing things that are out of the ordinary, and we don't even believe they exist. But why do they want my Facebook if I'm not even famous? I don't know, but it happened.

Regarding your decision, when someone uses their power wrongly against us, we have to use the power we have in response... so that they stop using that power against us, everything is at peace (even if by force), so that we all benefit from this peace and cooperation. Nobody wants war, but sometimes war is necessary to end unilateral aggression and bring peace again.

Good luck!

Their manipulations are over for me. You know that I once gave up because of exactly that. I will not give my money and time for someone who understands nothing about football. Let them go and play their curling game. Raul and everyone around him should first watch a season of some league and a European or World Championship. To understand what it is about.

I know it's like that. In the World Cup semi-final, before the penalties, I make substitutions and play with 5 players in top form and a goal over 17. On the other side, some players with 9 and 10 goals win the penalties. And I got eliminated. This is manipulation, my friend. Apparently right before your eyes.

I just watched the game before coming here to comment. Honestly, I didn’t see it the way you’re describing it.
Did Finland have chances to score? Yes, they did!
But what about the clear chances that Brazil also failed to convert—don’t those count?
Analyze the entire game; that will make it easier to see my point of view.

I’ve been on the losing side before; I’ve lost two World Cup semifinals in a row. I know how it feels, so I’m not judging you.
But maybe later, when you’re calmer, you can watch the game again and see that what you’re saying doesn’t match the reality of how the game went.

Brazil has always been at a significant disadvantage in soccer; that’s partly why it has never managed to win the championship.
Just today, I was missing four of my best players: two because they were out of form during the week leading up to the game, one due to injury, and one because he was suspended.
That undoubtedly ends up hurting the team.

But I’ll say it again: I congratulate you on your performance and wish you luck as you continue with Finland.
=)

I won't give those asses a single cent from now on. I'm sure others will do the same. People will no longer tolerate some fool determining their fate.

In real life I’m maybe adequate striker, but I’ve never missed a penalty. Many of my team’s strikers have. :)

Take a deep breath my friend! It was a tough loss and the game definitely has it’s flaws, but still it’s only a game. Take a beer, at least I will. And be proud of your performance. You did great with getting us so close to a medal!

I'll tell you one thing. My attackers are better than yours. If you want, we can show them for everyone to see. How did the game allow yours to be better in identical situations? This is fucking manipulation. Someone decides that a given team should be better despite the players' skills. But this is not fucking reality. This is a game. Whoever is better behind the keyboard should win, not fucking luck.

This is a casino game, not a strategy manager anymore.

Borkos, come on boy. Go out and say it. Put your hand on your heart and say if this is normal. You are the face of Poland. Go out and say it. You were the best, and you left so early. Because someone decided another team would be the champion!

nobody decides anything here, in fact they don't care about any results, the owners don't even know who wins the World Cup

the game is based a lot on random and that's it... they fucked up the engine in ~2007/8 when they added handicap... I wrote about it many times. This World Cup, previous World Cup I think Poland didn't deserve to be eliminated but it happens, what can you do.

today red card in 15th minute and easy 5:1 vs USA (23:4 shots playing 10v11). on week you get lucky, other week you get unlucky. that's how this game works since 15+ years...

In the previous World Cup, I had a hunch about a name, and in the same week Poland lost (and it was eliminated). This season Poland also hasn't been successful. I always thought Poland had help, and after my hunch, things reversed. I think I had a good guess.

so you had a belief that Poland is always helped, then Poland got twice unlucky eliminations... and that proves your theory that Poland is helped? please try to be logical...

if you look at history, tournament after tournament, Poland is overall the most unlucky NT in the game, because it's the strongest team and that's why it's most often fucked up by the handicap. rarely Poland was eliminated after at least equal game.

I remember the game when tactics determined who would win. Now you can have been working on a tactic for a week, and your opponent might have slept and released something old and defeat you. Once it was an honor to play against you and to lose when you outplayed me. Now everything is a circus.

Fact is they changed nothing in the match engine in last ~16 years. Possibly the level of teams increased (so many teams with 80+ rating, more than before) and that somehow increased the randomness / handicap effect.

I know what you mean. I also have nothing against losing against equal / better opponent, after being beaten tactically etc.. Perfectly fine with that. But it's so frustrating to lose when you can see that your team has been better and 18 striker ATTs in 16-18 form just couldn't score a single goal from x perfect situations.
