That just shows how good they are.

Barcelona (since Rijkaard took over), Arsenal (Wenger) and Roma (Spaletti) are three teams in recent times which wouldn't have problems scoring when they have full squad.

I think if they indeed can afford the license, they'd only focus on a few select teams and most likely from Foreign Premier League due to its popularity in english-speaking countries.

I love a few South American Club myself, but I doubt they'd include them.

Booo! They'll probably include Boca Jrs and River Plate but they both suck. We beat them 2-1 just yesterday. Both of them are going through a terrible moment although they have good players. Real Football 2010 had all clubs, although they couldn't license them. So they just changed the names of the clubs. Then in the editor you could change it to the real name. I'd be happy if they did that.

This is what I'm saying. Real Football 2010 had fake clubs and the players had (most of them) the real names so you could tell which one it was, go to the editor and change the name to your likeing. Of course it would be awesome if they could be licensed so we can get the real jerseys and emblems :(

Really it won't be noticeable during the game itself. The only place you'll see the emblems the most is in team selection / strategy / pause menu, not in-game.

Same with jersey. I'm happy with generic looks, like the colours, stripes, etc.

As much as I love X2 2009, I just feel it's not as deep as FIFA gameplay-wise. So, more than club teams, here are my feature wishlist:

1. Different kind of shots (lob shots, ground shots, etc)

2. Different kind of passes (lob pass, through lob pass, etc)

3. Ability to build up the game slowly rather than just running around (kick and rush) and scoring incredible goals.

4. Better team mate's and opponent's AI

5. Upload saved replays to YouTube like Real Football or Real Racing.

Yeah. I used to play as a Flanker - my favourite position. It's all about tackling - you can get away from the scrum quickly and take out the scrum half or fly half before the ball is passed before the line. So much fun.

And I agree that backbreaker Football is so awesome.
I don't understand American Football, but I like the game because it is essentially the same as rugby - just run towards the try line and try not to get tackled by the opposition. Some of the tackle animations are so funny :D

Americann Football is played at a slower pace (a very slow one) than Rugby. It's full of added rules and stuff like that. I consider it more a type of "rugby" but aimed to generate more money so it's pretty much more simple and straightforward and open to the public. Plus they wear a lot of protection, where in Rugby you barely use as many as in American Football...*cough*..pussies. Lol just joking ^_^

C'mon, quit whining. They were nothing PK-worthy.

Also, there are always denied penalties, free kicks and all that (which were truly deserved, eg. Spain and Italy against South Korea in WC2002) in a football match.

If you really deserved to win, you would've. Fact is, Chelsea disappeared completely in the second half.

As a Blues fan, I can say that we weren't good enough last night, despite the penalty shouts. We were better in Milan overall, and we carried that in the first half, but in the second half, we didn't dominate enough, and we should have punished them in the first half when we did. And randomly sending Drogba off just added salt to the wound at the end and killed any possible comeback.

Still, at least we can focus on the league (and FA cup) now. I was never really optimistic about our chances in the CL.

You do know Chinese is like the generic term for language spoken by Chinese people right? For most westerners, it covers Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, etc.

For Chinese people, if someone says 'I speak Chinese' they'll just assume he speaks Mandarin.

Now this thread is really off-topic, from Drogba's long hair to Russian oranges.

Yes. It is the generic term for the language spoken by Chinese people. It covers Mandarin, Cantonese, etc. They're very similar but with some variations and different terms.

So i don't really see how everyone here says Chinese is not a language. Saying person X speaks Chinese is the same saying Person X speaks Spanish. There are many variations of Spanish, and if you hear a Spanish (from Spain) and an Argentinean talk you will notice a difference but still be talking the same language, just like you'd notice the same differences between someone talking Mandarin and the other one Wu. So yeah, if you say Chinese is not a language you can say Spanish ain't one either.

Anyway, I agree we are going off-topic, so well, I'll say I'm really looking forward to this.

Yes. It is the generic term for the language spoken by Chinese people. It covers Mandarin, Cantonese, etc. They're very similar but with some variations and different terms.

Mandarin and Cantonese alone are two very very different languages. Everything from vocabs to characters to tones are different (there are 4 tones in chinese and 9 tones in cantonese). I'm well exposed to at least 3 different Chinese languages and they're all very different. Like, seriously different and if you just know 1 of them you won't be able to communicate in the other 2 languages.

Saying they are very similar shows you're a little ignorant (I don't wanna use 'racist' as it's too harsh). It's like saying 'Mandarin, Korean and Japanese are quite similar', they all have this worm-like characters. Funny thing is, Kanji Japanese is actually more similar to Mandarin than Cantonese in written language.

There are many variations of Spanish, and if you hear a Spanish (from Spain) and an Argentinean talk you will notice a difference but still be talking the same language

That's not between Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, etc. That's like between Beijing Mandarin and Shanghai Mandarin. Each has unique accent and variations, but still the same language.

Anyway, I apologise for nitpicking it. I didn't mean to attack you, I was just giving reasons to Random_Guy's post that Chinese isn't a language. As I said, if you say 'Chinese' in real life, most people would automatically understand you mean Mandarin :)

I stand corrected. What about other dialects like Hokkien? Is it written the same as Mandarin too?

It's a genuine question. What I wrote in my previous post was because I had Chinese, Cantonese and Hokkien friends who all spoke very differently. And some Hongkong guys couldn't really understand Chinese (and vice versa) so they had to speak in English. It happened at my next uni as well.

Well... there's some variations in Hokkien, but if you speak about Taiwanese Hokkien, then yes, we can write it the same way, it's just pronounced differently (Amoy dialect also uses Han characters). There are some things that you actually say in Hokkien that do not correspond directly to the Mandarin written counterpart though. There are also some special characters only found in Hokkien

Sorry for going off-topic again but I've got this Chinese friend who is forced to go to school on saturdays (even when we all have graduated lol) to learn to write and speak these dialects and he says that when he speaks them there are not so many big differences.

Sorry to hear about the accident, hope you're feeling well again. Question time:

1. What clubs will be in it? La Liga? Serie A? Bundesliga?

2. What game modes will be in it? I can live without Be A Pro mode, but Manager mode (where we run a full season and fight for all championships + player transfer between clubs) is a must.

3. Will there be different kind of shots? Lob shots? Or at least 2 different shots: power shots (from distance) and accurate shots (for 1-on-1). I hate when players just blast it to the goal during 1-on-1 as in reality it has much lower chance of success. It just feels wrong.

:D I agree Puyol shouldn't of been sent off,Fabregas just plonked his leg inside Puyols leg and fell over,what a con,i hate the Gooners,but that's only cos i'm a Spurs supporter :D

As for Barcelona,was Messi even playing cos he was a ghost during the match,really poor and Barcelona didn't impress me that much.The Gooners impressed me even less and they must of been poor to let Imbrahimovic to score twice,cos he's one of the worst strikers out there,even worse than Bendtner :D

I was laughing myself silly when Barca went 2-0 up but cheering when the gooners scored both there goals,even tho i do hate them they are still an english club,go figure :rolleyes:

As for Man U :p :D Now Shreks out for a bit they are gonna struggle 2nd leg :D

Yeah, seriously awful decision. Barcelona had an amazing first half and made Arse-anal look like a bunch of amateurs, confused and couldn't even get the ball. They even had to resort to physicality and that's where they yellow cards came from. Arsenal are not used to play physical so some of their tackles are so clumsy *cough, Arshavin.

However, they loosened up in the 2nd half and they must regret missing so many sitters. It could've easily been 0-4 by half time.

Can't wait for the 2nd leg.

I know that, but if you really like your team you shouldn't leave. Anyway, here where I live we need to wait until the visitor's fans leave before we can so there is no point in leaving early.

Off topic:

How was Puyol's red card a 'terrible decision'?

1) Didn't get the ball at all
2) Challenge from behind
3) Denied Fabregas his attempt on goal
4) In the penalty area

Red card in the law of the game - if enforced properly. Just that many refs do half the job.

I just watched video of the incident again a few times over. As a neutral, I think it wasn't a penalty, it looks more like Fabregas swung his legs in between Puyol's. Also, as Puyol comes across, he's definitely looking at the ball and not the player. But it's hard for the ref to see these sorts of things from afar, so it's understandable that he gave the pen. I don't think anybody's refuting that red card, it's the penalty shout that people disagree with.

Well if you look again, it was Fabregas looking to volley and Puyol moved from behind and clattered him.

Puyol MIGHT have tried to get the ball but gets nowhere near it. From the full on view you can clearly see Puyol swinging his right leg, catching Fabregas and no where near the ball.

2) He stood there. He wasn't behind. He didn't challenge anything.

The red card is what we (Barcelona fans) are raging on about. The penalty I can understand from the Ref's point of view, however to push it to a red card is out of this world. If the ref saw the 'foul' clearly, it wouldn't have been a penalty nor a card.

And then to have Fabregas to complain about it, I'm pissed at. What a cheat. He was in the position, he could have just walked away rather than argue for the penaly. If that hadn't have happened; if the Barcelona CAPTAIN hadn't been sent off, we would have thrashed Arsenal at their own stadium. They should have shame.

Anyway, in two weeks time, Arsenal have lost Arshavin, Fabregas, Gallas and one more... due to injuires and crap. And it's at Camp Nou. 30,000 more fans, at our very own home. Barcelona are going to get revenge, mark my words. :mad:

Barcelona has very good players but also has a lot of luck. I still can't get the World Club's final last year. Estudiantes was winning 1-0 and minute 90 Pedro tied the game. Barcelona was playing better, but that was just luck. I feel sorry for ELP now :(

Chelsea 2 - 1 Man U. Too good, Chelsea! Drogba's goal was offside, but Macheda's goal was a handball, so that evens it out. We dominated for at least 60 minutes, so we deserved to win anyway.

Man U looked so bad without Rooney. Looks like they are a one-man team.

Let's look at the upcoming matches for Chelsea and Man U (disregard Arsenal, cos they've got no chance :rolleyes:):

Man U vs Blackburn
Chelsea vs Bolton
Both Chelsea and Man U should have comfortable wins.

Man U vs Man City
Chelsea vs Tottenham
Tough matches for both sides who are both away. A vital round for both sides.

Man U vs Tottenham
Chelsea vs Stoke
Chelsea should win at home, and Man U should win at home also, but it's going to be a tough match for them.

Man U vs Sunderland
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Man U should beat Sunderland, and Chelsea will have a contest on their hands away at Anfield.

Man U vs Stoke
Chelsea vs Wigan
Both sides should have comfortable wins.

Looking at this, if Man U beat Tottenham at home, and Chelsea lose away against Liverpool, then Man U should win the title. However, I know they won't, cos they're a one man team.
