Jesus, what a nerve-wrecking match.
An absolute goal-fest and despite being on top all game in the field, they seemed to just score off what felt like every chance they got. Whereas I was having so many 1 on 1s, and whilst I had a decent conversion rate of them, it still wasn't as good.
2 goals up at 75' and I still wasn't comfortable. 78' minute they score. Then they are offside, my defenders runs way behind the defensive line (something that has been happening all match due to the position of their players, which is actually tactically smart), my defender taking the kick, kicks it straight in to the otherwise offside defender and it bounces towards the goal. Now I have the defender who took the kick, standing still, vs the two attackers and my defeners way up the pitch. I was thinking, no way can I get knocked out like this, such an overlook on how the ME is coded.
Finally got up 2 goals again in the 83' minute and I was just praying to not give them any shots.
Anyway, got a 72.2 rating somehow, beating out their 70.5
On to round 2 after a match that was much harder than I was expecting in the first round

Typical luck for me.
Drawing the number 1 seed in the second round, rating in the 80s

Good win Achmid, Looks like I could have been close to participating, best wishes for next game
Thanks mate. Yeah only a few countries off you participating.
Maybe next time you win the cup!

Haven't actually watched the match, but very expected result given the 12point rating difference.
Given the primary skills for most positions wouldn't be that much different to my own players, it's crazy just how big of a difference those secondary skills provide.
It's a shame with the financial system, we will never be able to compete with teams in these countries but it was still fun, and I get another 700k in the kitty (these big countries not only rake in the sponsorship, but they must rake in the attendence receipts too).
Unfortunately my top midfielder also got injured, so that loss may end up eating away at the extra $$ I got from the CC anyway in the form of lost sponsorship etc. should it result in losses straight up against the big guys in A-League (not that there was any guarantee of a win against them anyway).
Anyway, back to our regular programming, I think the A-League mid-lower table battle this season could be very exciting
