As I touched on the other day, I just thought I would put down my views on Red cards and keepers.

In FIFA 09, it is impossible to have your Goalkeeper sent off. I have seen Yellow cards, which should have been red. I have seen yellow cards, followed by a Second bookable offence, sometimes RED card's in their own right, yet the keeper just gets a quiet chat and no early bath.

FIFA 09 is the most realistic football simulation to date. I can understand not having a dive...

Dismal. Poor. Un-organised. Dis-interested.

All of the above were said by Alan Brazil on Talksport this morning, regarding Englands performance in the 2 - 0 defeat against Spain last night.

He also said:
Maybe that is why he is a Radio DJ and Fabio Capello is the England manager.......

Ok, so we lost - but, we lost to the current EUROPEAN Champions and CURRENT World number 1 ranked team:

I didn't think I would enjoy writing a blog - I also didn't ever believe that there would be a need to post twice in one day......

The OP is complaining that injuries do not affect players online. I understand the school of though - injuries happen, but in the world of Online FIFA, they are never terminal, or seem to affect...

I am going to be honest. I didn't see this one coming.

For some reason, there seems to be flood of Liverpool related update threads. There is concern that Liverpool are not highly rated enough, that they should be a 5* team. However, if you look at recent results, they are not exactly looking like world beaters. It took a late appearance of golden boy Fernando Torres to save the blushes, and possibly the title race, against Portsmouth last week.

The rating system is based...

We have only just had the Winter Squad update and already EA has thrown a new Download into the arena.

EA SPORTS™ Football World - FIFA 09 Ultimate Team

Ultimate Team seems set to cause a stir on the boards from now until release. Looking at the screenshots and watching the video, it seems we are able to play matches in the Arena.

I also noticed a Training Pitch Card - does this mean we are finally able to practice FK's with a Wall? I guess it's too early...
