FIFA 08 Offside Cup - Group Stage OVER. Your Winners . . .

By: Dave Martinez | March 26th, 2008

Well, the group stages are over.

And there have been some great upsets. The round of 16 begins Friday and will last a full week

This round will feature a best of three series; as explained before, games can end in ties. In the case of a complete three game tie, we will move to goal differential. If that doesnt decide it, a one game playoff will.

  lol Dave you’ve given me the “kiss of death” to surpass Man U…

  however, if that DOES end up happening, i am confident in playing AC Milan. I know their strengths and weaknesses. lol

  FORZA PALERMO!!!!!!!!!!!

  AHAHHHHAAAA

  Haters. All of you.

  I cant wait for Celtic (played by a Mexican no less!) to say the same thing to me . . . in spanish.

  Eric, best of luck.

  And to the rest of you . . . Dont point the bullseye at Roma. I am an ignorant buffoon (does that make up for it?)

  I’m gonna be a cry baby and complain that its not right that people who are never online and are on a different continent and don’t ever answer emails somehow managed to get through.

  oh well. whens the next tourney.

  Dont worry Andrew - there will be more defined rules for the next tourney.

  This has been a great learning experience. It will only evolve into better game play.

  btw - You still did great with RBNY. So its all good.

  True. And thanks for that, by the way…too bad I am such a moron, lol. You should still FEAR la FURIA. Actually my team probably isn’t that great, I’m a better player than I am a manager. But that’s ok.

  Whenever we all eventually meet, you can school me in some soccer.

  For now, I will school you in Fantasy!

  Go ahead and try. Either way, I’m seriously winning some bets in Euro this summer. Spain’s lookin’ hot this time around. It’s time for the champs to go down. (insert evil laugh here.)

  Yo Dave wait up. Me and SlipperyFist never played our match.

  If he beats me he is tied in 2nd with Pinturriochio.

  I hear ya Dave but the deadline was missed. No worries. Group B had a guy with 1 win that would have actually won the group, but he only played one time.

  Dont worry about it. Just have fun against Milan

  We can’t give it more time? It’s not fair to everyone. DrSlipperyFist had invited me and I couldn’t play and vica versa. I bet we could get a game in, he is not on now though.

  Dave, Ide love to but I just cant. Had to make alot of tough decisions towards the end - I would say that about 85% of all games were played. The others werent, and its been 2 weeks.

  I told someone else earlier - being its the first one of its kind here (tourney), its been a learning process. Moving forward, rules will be alot more all encompassing.

  Like I said, dont worry, others are comin.

• David Berger |  March 27th, 2008 at 4:07 pm

  
  
  

  Oh ok. Also, I don’t know how you would be doing ties in second place but for SlipperyFist to qualify he would have to beat me like 6-0 or something. Guess it wasn’t a huge miss of a game if you go by goal differential…

• Dave Martinez |  March 27th, 2008 at 4:09 pm

  
  
  

  Yea totally. Stuttgart got in on Goal Diff. So dont worry. Just wax the competition.

  I completely missed your post. But I did send a mass email that you should have received indicating whats going on - for some reason, I cant get on to the EA Servers, so you will get the PW via email and I will send a mass vm on LIVE.

  btw - Are you saying you dont care about MLS? Tsk tsk tsk . . . !!!!!!! (shift 1)
