Random game: Smoking Dragons vs Adelaiderpool

42nd minute. Xavi with the corner kick on the right. Skrtel seems to have it but his timing is off and PIQUE IS UNDER IT. HE JUMPS AND NODS IT IN! GOAL! Miscommunication by the Smoking Dragons as van der Sar had tried to come forward to take it to bring it to 3-1.

 

Halftime stats summary: With 45% possession, Smoking Dragons are clearly making the most of their chances, or at least taking more chances, taking 11 shots compared to Adelaiderpool's 5. High accuracy on display by the Smoking Dragons though, with 7 on target and 3 blocked.

Vincent Kompany comes on for Tim Cahill, moving just in front of the backline.

 

48th minute: Podolski receives a yellow card for a challenge on Navas.

 

49th minute: Well, Gareth Weaver, manager of Redwood Phoenix is here in the stands today and has stated that he believes this will be a close match. I hope he's ri- Rooney receives a great pass from Cole and shoots between Pique and Bruno Alves! GOAL! Driven in low and hard to the right corner. Maicon says he was offside, but that looked completely fine to me and the ref agrees with me. That's 4-1 now to Smoking Dragons and it's looking less hopeful for Adelaiderpool fans by the minute.

 

51st minute: Bruno Alves has been booked for tripping Rooney from behind as he receives the ball.

53rd minute: Seems like Pique is testing the referee for consistency as he does exactly what Bruno Alves did less than two minutes ago, this time on Adebayor. Looks like the ref passed that one. Pique comes away from it with a yellow card.

 

64th minute: Are they going to learn? Barry now with a yellow card after trying to do what Pique and Bruno Alves both failed to do, this time on Adebayor again.

 

Second half was a lot more boring. So I'm just going to call it game. 4-1 to Smoking Dragons.

MotM: Joe Cole

 

My team was clearly the best on paper and in real life would have ****ing destroyed the other mob.

 

What a shame that the sim doesnt have a clue whatsoever about the real world, because in the real world I would have absolutely destroyed them, absolutely wiped the floor with them.

 

I dissagree, Real Madrid have the best team on paper and I don't see them dominating anyone or anything.

 

Yeah but he played what is possibly the worst Midfield in the world.

Podolski in the mids
Cole playing as CM

 

This.
