Quite a tidy team goal with a tremendous run from Frings, sealing an away win after two Schweinsteiger goals.

That's nothing compared to the US Virgin Islands winner from last night eh Original?
A stolen victory and nothing more... especially considering you had the referee on your side all night! :w00t

They updated the teams yet? I can't play a game if I know the teams aren't right.

Thank god for these squad updates. Back when PES was good I had to up Bellion's stats manually!

Just won the World Cup on Legendary with Germany, obviously Germany are a good team but the manner of my victory goes a little beyond expectations I believe.
In my first group game, I slumped to a 1-1 draw with Cameroon. This made me fear for my chances in high altitude, however, my next game being against Uzbekistan, I did pick up 3 points with a convincing 5-0 win that in truth could have been into double figures. I finished top of the group after a comfortable 3-1 win over Sweden, their goal coming due a frustrating piece of ball watching from Lahm.
Into the first knockout stage, I was pleasently surprised to discover my opposition was the mighty Israel. I feel a comfortable win was expected in this one, I duly delivered with two goals each for Ballack and Podolski and a fifth from Jansen. Mertesacker and Westermann simply laughed at the Israeli attempts to breach my backline. In following game, however, Mexico wiped the smiles off their faces with Blanco slotting in from six yards out. His goal was meaningless though, as I'd stuck four in at the other end in the mean time. Gomez and Marin netting the goals, the latter with a delightful free kick.
In the semi-final I faced my first footballing superpower, Argentina. With no disrespect to Mexico this challenge was another level up. So I decided to turn on the style, Podolski opened the scoring with a beautiful left foot drive, Gomez buried three with Schweinsteiger rifling in another two. The only threat to my cleansheet came when Tevez tried a header from fifteen yards, their only effort at goal. Messi, Tevez, Rodriguez and company were quite comprehensively shut out. A thorough demolishing of Argentina, one in which Maradona even had the sense to take Zanetti and Cambiasso... it didn't help.
In the final and I have to take on Italy, who I was concerned about. A physical team with a Pirlo that seems to have time travelled from a period when he was actually talented. Most concerning was the fact they had Gigi in goal, scoring would be difficult. So it was, Trochowski's jaw nearly fell off when Gigi managed to block a point blank Gomez effort, get up as the ball fell to Piotr and scramble back into the middle before changing direction to get a hand up to stop Trochowski's top corner rocket. I was stunned. Even Gigi couldn't stop Bastian though, he opened the scoring from six yards with a composed finish, before completing his hattrick with the two screamers shown below. Gomez completed the rout and as ever Westermann and Mertesacker, screened by Frings kept the opposition at bay with little more than a sniff at goal.
I won the World Cup scoring 28 goals and conceding merely 3. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it from the qualifying campaign, right through to the final. This is the best football game I've played in a long time and it's nice to actually give a damn about scoring for a change. Despite my routs I feel I thoroughly earnt those wins and every goal by playing some excellent passing football. More to the point I didn't feel like the goals I conceded were a fix, they were actually my fault. Can't ask for more from a football game.

Note the very calm piece of passing in my own penalty area, completely intentional. Sometimes I might be too confident though. Finally, of course there are two majestic touches from Podolski.

HGW XX/7
I'm playing a World Cup as Wales and for some reason Jason Koumas seems to have completely vanished from my squad. I have no idea why and I have no idea how. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? It's rather frustrating as Koumas is quite an important player for Wales.

I had Salas disappear from my Chile squad a few games into qualifying. I presumed he'd retired from International Football.
Koumas: He retired from international football on 6 September, 2009,[19] having scored ten goals in 34 caps. His final appearance for Wales was in a 2–0 defeat to Finland on 28 March 2009.

HGW XX/7
Yeah. Unfortunately, his retirement came just before a crucial game for me against Holland, which I must win to have a chance of qualifying. Now I have to stick David Vaughan in there who is good but has an overall of 64 compared to Koumas who was in the 70's. I'm guessing this will be the same for any other international football retirements too, although most players are sensible enough to retire from international football before or after the qualifying is completed.
