Ok. Damn I am a retard. That's probably half my problem...I bet that in using the left stick to position my players it is affecting how I am aiming (or should I say mis-aiming) my shots on these corner headers.

MOTM:

GK Felipe 10.0 - 10 Saves... kept up his brilliant goalkeeping this season.

Very enjoyable game to watch and play. Flamengo got very lucky in this one as Villa dominated the flow of play throughout the contest regardless of what the possession stats say. I was an idiot and figured I was out of the tourney and parked the bus in the 2nd half and prevented any shot that I had at advancing. What are ya gonna do? Got really lucky on two corners that I completely pulled out of my ass so I didn't deserve to move on regardless. Fun game Zikry, was fun playing a game of two fields rather than dodging bullets all game Best of luck the rest of the way. Beshiktas.... sorry I couldn't give you a better run but you destroyed me anyways!

Wow Palermo's best offensive output in a long time. The victory was bitter sweet as Palermo needed to win by two to possibly advance to the knockout stage. They held a 2-0 and 3-1 advantage when their strong defense wilted under the pressure and yielded a heart breaking goal in the 81st minute. Palermo fought hard til the end but ultimately fell a little short.

Great game Broncos218 and good luck the rest of the way.

I'd also like to thank the gentlemen that responded to my plea for help with all the great tips, in particular jb_banco and hokie79. Thanks I have renewed hope for the future.

Montano 62' Pitropia

Montano 72' PK

In form Stades Rennes defeats VFL Wolfsburg in the third match of Group B. It was a must win match for the visiting side, to have control of their destiny. Rennes attacked from the beginning, but it was VFL Wolfsburg who had the first clear open shot, as an open netter was clanked of the post, while Costil was found out of position. The opportunity would not come again, as Rennes took control of the match, as they made Wolfsburg GK earn his pay today. Benaglio made save after save, as Pitropia ran rampant of the left flank. Finally Benaglio was found beaten as he tried to close down Pitropia, who found a streaking Montano for a wide open tap in. Pitropia once again creates havoc in the Wolfsburg Defense as he is taken down in the box. Montano cooly puts the PK away and the visiting side moves on to the knock out round.

That's the irony. His tips (as well as hokie79's) were a huge reason that my offense improved so the silver lining in my loss is that I didn't knock him out. I edited the stats post to include an assist for Junuzovic.

well...this knocks me out!....i knew 3 draws wasnt going to cut it....

Galatasaray Rebounds for First Win of Group Play

Galatasaray jumped out to the quick lead when Milan Baros turned back the clock and flashed his old form with a deft turn and lefty shot that beat the Sunderland keeper. Felipe Melo was johnny on the spot for a rebound to make it a 2-goal lead and the home fans were feeling good, up 2-0, in the opening third of the match. But Sunderland turned up the pressure and the mid-table Serie A side began flexing its muscle over the floundering, last-place Serie B Turks. Bendter fired a perfectly-placed shot to cut the deficit in half before the break. Fernando Mulsera was called upon time after time in the 2nd half as he racked up 8 saves on the day trying to hold onto the lead. But Bendter was too much and he equalised the match in the 53rd minute.

On their heels but with little to gain from a draw in the group finale, Galatasaray bided their time before surging forward in attack. In their first scoring chance in dozens of a minutes, a well-flicked ball that was headed for the end line found a wide-open Baros who made his first shot in over an hour count. Match-winner, 3-2. Big win for Galatasaray which gives them 4 points in the group and a fighter's chance to advance.

EVrytime Wolves looked like they had taken control, Santos fought back. An 83' equalizer and another in the 117' sent this game to PKs in which the Wolves were able to prevail. Doyle thought he had the sure winner in regulation as Wolves were controlling play and he was able to put one in from distance. Borges answered nearly immediately with a clever move in the box. Remained 1-1 into the second session of extra-time and Ebanks-Blake thought it was surely over has he connected on a half volley off a cross and in in the 109'. But again, Santos fought even. The substitue Ibson took advantage of poor defense and slotted one past Hennessey to force Pks.

Wolves continue their trend in cup play by scraping by every stage. They have reached the Semis and Finals the last 2 seasons, will their luck finally run out this time around?

Crazy game. Scored an equalizer in the 89th minute to send it to extra time which saw me take a 3-1 lead in the first half of ET with two goals in the first five minutes of ET, only to see the match leveled again before the first half of ET was finished. Finally won the match with two goals two minutes apart in the last four minutes of ET. HokieNYC great game.

Matt Jarvis. My Bad.

Aston Villa 2 (1) - 2 (3) B. M'Gladbach

After drawing at the end of regulation 2-2, neither teams could find the back of the net in extra time, sending the round of 16 match to Penalty Kicks. M'Gladbach would come out on top, netting 3 of their first 4 and shutting down Villa to only 1 of 4, securing the win for the Germans.

Unfortunately, I don't have any stats, including any yellow's issued to Villa. As soon as the game ended, it said we lost connection. Zikry signed off as soon as that happened. I don't know what happened, but regardless, I am without stats and cards. RedAL925
