I used to enjoy playing hockey at school. I kept forgetting to bring shin pads though and so by the time the lesson was over my shins were all cut up.

Free kicks 4-3
Corner kicks 1-2
Possession 45-55

Yellow cards:

Australia won with result 1:0 once again. And once again Kewell
was the scorer. Kewell is Australia golden guy I think. They are
celebrating now for advancing to the final and making their biggest
success in football history. Goal was pure masterpiece from new Liverpool
player Harry Kewell. Skoko passed the ball and Kewell scored with a wonderful
shot from 25m. Gangsta really made good tactics for this
cup,but can Aussies win the championship? We'll find out. Although,
Finland must be satisfied too cause they have chance for one of the medals,
and that is huge success.



Argentina(oseany,pes fan)-France(Paul B,pes insight) 3:0
Claudio Lopez 10'
Veron 17' (assist Zanetti)
Crespo 75' (assist Aimar)


Shots 8-3
Offsides 1-0
Fouls 1-1
Free kicks 1-2
Corner kicks 0-0
Possession 53-47

Argentina just hammered France in this match. Generally Argentina's
play was most stable in this cup. They won all the games,except
draw with Denmark. France barely managed to advance to second round.
But then they won England and Spain and got Argentina. Great goal from
freekick(19m) by Claudio Lopez in 10th minute. Goalkeeper couldn't defend it.
Just 7 minutes later Veron got a wonderful through pass between
two players and scored second goal for Argentina. France couldn't
pull back and it was all over after the first half. Henry and co.
didn't play near as good as against England or Spain. Argentina
scored third goal when Aimar made through pass and Crespo scored
with an excellent land shot. France will fight for Bronze against Finland,
and Argentina will in THE TWO A finals play Australia,biggest surprise of this cup.

Third place play-off:

France(Paul B,pes insight)-Finland(mickey fuxxx,pes fan) 1:0
Henry 3' (assist Trezeguet)

Shots: 8-1
Offsides: 0-0
Fouls: 1-3
Free kicks: 3-1
Corner kicks: 1-1
Possession: 57-43

After losing form Argentina France really played good in this match.
You could just notice that they want bronze medal. On the other side
Finland didn't play really well. Only goalkeeper Niemi was excellent and
he saved the day for Finland,cause they could lose 4:0 or more. Two times
he defended Henry's shots from 15m. One time he punched the ball in
corner when Zidane shot from freekick. But he just made one mistake
on the beggining of the match. Trezeguet made through pass for Henry
and Henry shot,Niemi punched the ball but it went in goal.
Well,Finland can be really satisfied with accomplished on this cup.
France too. Cause it isn't little thing to be third in the world.

As expected,Argentina made it to the finals. Australia is the biggest
surprise on this cup. Thanks to their manager Gangsta9 they are in the
final match. Question before the match was: Can they beat Argentina?
Answer after the match was: No. Although in group stage they beat Italy
Argentina was too good for them. Argentinians started very offensively,
but Australian defence was excellent until the 24th minute. Claudio Lopez
made a run on the left side. Moore was following him,but Murphy made a
mistake when he run to help Moore,leaving Ortega alone. Lopez centered,
and Ortega was 1 on 1 with the keeper. Bosnich tried to block the shot,
but it went next to his leg in the net. To confirm Argentina's triumph
Crespo scored a goal in 43' minute. Ortega beautifully centerd the ball
and Crespo from the penalty kick scored a header. Bosnich could save it
but he didn't. He made a huge mistake. It was all solved. When referee
made final whistle Argentinians celebrated,but Australians weren't sad
either. They can actually be very happy with done on this cup.
Oseany lead Argentina to the trophy,so they became winners of the first
Virtual world cup in history.
Next year,probably,on PES 3 they will try to defend their title.

I think oseany (pes fan) deserves a bit more recognition for winning the cup, having top scorer, assist man and MVP.

But having said that, Gangsta9 did a great job to get so far with a limited team.

Any chance of being able to see the tactics of the 2 finalists so the rest of us can learn something?

I rate the tournament 8.5
Maybe more points if I'd gotten further, but my interest was reduced when I was knocked out - oh well.

markony, thanks for all your efforts and time, despite power cuts and all other hazards! Top man!!

Yep, excellent. I'd rate eight. It'd be higher had Northern Ireland progressed further! And won an award of some sort! Thanks markony.

OK here are the tactics of two finalists as written in mails sent to me:

Australia

put Bosnich on goal.
Rest the same.

Argentina:

I'd like the default 3-1-3-3 type formation for Argentina, with the following players in order of appearance on the member change screen:
Burgos
Samuel
Ayala
Pochettino
Veron
Kily Gonzales
J. Zanetti
Aimar
Crespo
Claudio Lopez
Ortega

If Crespo has a downwards arrow though can he be replaced with Batistuta?

Finally, the attitude should be attacking for K. Gonzales, J. Zanetti, Aimar, Crespo/Batistuta, Claudio Lopez and Ortega.

And if I'm not winning put L2+X And L2+square on half.


I'm glad you enjoyed this cup. Well next year maybe Virtual world cup 2004?

Well it is an art to discover that the best tactics for the team is default. Some of them changed everything and didn't went in the second round...
