Finally – I win a game online!!!!

I’ve been playing Fifa10 on and off since it’s release back in October. However I rarely play online, you know why? Cause I always get trashed – each and every time!! I can play reasonably well Offline.. Playing mostly at Pro level (I started off playing semi-pro) and I can win more than my fair share of games. When it comes to online gaming, I don’t know why, maybe part nerves, maybe part lag, but mostly cause those online are usually pretty good, I end up losing. I’ve not had many games online – maybe 15 or 20.. But when you get past 10, 11 or 12 games without even a single draw you start to fear it, or become very demotivated.. Tonight I delved once more into the online realm of Fifa 10 gaming.. I played twice.. the first game I lost 4-3, but you know what.. I felt I played quite ok.. In fact if I were to replay this chap I feel I may stand a chance. When it got to the end of the game, it gives an option to reply that opponent, I answered Yes, and I was much surprised to see the other guy answer yes too..

The next game was a classic.. It was the stuff you dream of seeing when you tune in to watch Super Sunday or something.. Manchester United versus Arsenal.

I very quickly took the lead, and held onto it until after half time, when I managed to double my tally and scored a wonderful goal from Valencia (I love playing him in Fifa10). So I’m two nil up and getting plenty of chances, the other guy is getting chances too, but my defence is performing admirably. Half way through the 2nd half I get brought down in the area – Penalty! Michael Carrick steps up but then it’s saved.. Damn!! Then things went bad.. Right from the save, the ball was worked up field and Arsenal pulled a goal back.  OK, only 1 up now, I think it was about the 78th minute or something – just have to hold on for 12+ minutes.. I almost managed it. In the 92nd minute Walcott put a cross in to find the head of Van Persie who equalised.. DAMN DAMN DAMN!!

Extra Time!

In the first period of extra time, I managed to play really good, and get a third goal.. Luckily extra time comes and goes pretty fast, so I didn’t have to hold onto the lead too long. But somehow, by grace of god or something, I kept my nerve, and kept the lead.. Final Whistle !! YEAH!!!! I jumped for joy, and punched the air.. My First EVER online Win in Fifa10!! Finally!!!!
