FIFA Tournament

Hey guys, FIFA09 is quite competitive in Singapore gaming scene. Thanks to GBA.com and the Platstation system. I have been doing quite good in FIFA09 and I found myself into the Finals of the GBA Online Tournament, and the winner gets $100 cash and be seeded first into the Offline lan events at clark quay for a grand prize of $500. Yea. So this is how i reach to the Finals.

Round of 32 : Maurice2008 2 : 3 Sadbloke..

Round of 16 : PapaPiggy 0 : 3 Sadboke..

Quarter Finals : Dunkel 2 : 3 Sadbloke..

Semi Final : Zeroth Hunter 0 : 3 Sadbloke..
Finals : Adiethan VS Sadbloke - Best of 5

From what i researched about adiethan, hes been consistent and known as SG top 3 players. And i basically just scrapped through all my rounds and into the finals. So this is what happen inside the finals.

Game 1 : Everton (adie) VS Marsille (Sam)

From the start, I am already feeling nervous and pressured after so long not into competitive finals. Cause your mind will always be telling you "You are after the money, you cant lose'. And so,

I have a good start scoring the first blood of the series with Niang scoring a 1 - 2 passing with Ben afra. But just not long into the second half, he equalise with a yakubu pacy run through my defenders and slide through my keeper manana easily. 1-1 the score. So the game gets abit stale and at the 88mins, my clearance gave him a corner and Yakubu just tapped it in from 5yards out and score is 2-1 to everton. Feeling low morale and wasted.. Everton 2 -1 Marsille.

Game 2 : Everton(Adie) VS Udinese (Sam)

Game 2 start and can see hes marking out my Di natale and my Fabio Quarella. Then out of nowhere i made a stupid mistake. Defender pass to his saha and his saha just paced off my defenders and just gave to a slightest touch and 1-0 to him. Sianzzzz. WHAT I DOING?

So i calmed myself down, and starts to play slow build up, and great passing from midfield. I see a chance that Di Natale is free from defender, made a guided thru pass and finished it. Score is back to 1-1. Then the game when on until full time, and i slapped myself with alot of one on one misses, open goals, hit post. I just couldnt kill the game off.

So the game went into extra time, and I made a slight mistake and he capitalised and Everton won the game 2-1.. And its Adiethan leading Sadbloke 2-0 into the Best of 5 Series.. and all i can do is to sigh at my misses.

Game 3 - Everton(Adie) VS Marsille (Sam)

2 sets down, desperate to look for miracle performance. And it did happened, 15mins into the game, I am 2-0 up, courtesy of 2 goals from Ben Afra and Niang. Just before half time, I DID A STUPID MISTAKE again. wtf? pass to his SAHA and he scores again. Sam leading 2-1 into the break. The game went on, and just at the 80min mark, I finish the game with Kone pacy run through his defence and slot it home to make it 3-1.. Everton 1 - 3 Marsille..

Game 4 - Everton(Adie) VS MArsille(Sam)

It was 5 days break and the matchup continues. I can say i kinda lost the fighting spirit and the monmentum from last game. Easily eased out by my opponet 2-0 and I have no attack chances. Kinda sums up my finals.. Anyway, it was a great tourny for me and surely I will go to further lan events or tournaments.

PS3 ...
