Fifa 08 money tournament league 4 and 5

It’s that time for the Fifa 08 money tournament update again. I left the last post during league 4.

League 4

Well, i didn’t win this league like i said i would, but i came second which i’m happy about.

• Hamburg SV (me)
• Chelsea (colleague 1)
• Sporting Lisbon (colleague 2)
• Barcelona (colleague 3)

Chelsea finished top, Hamburg second, Sporting Lisbon third and Barcelona fourth. The cup was a different story. I got knocked out in the first round and so did Sporting Lisbon. Guess who won the cup? Yes that’s right the colleague who has never won anything won the cup!

I have a few excuses to why i didn’t win the league or cup – i didn’t have a 5 star team so i didn’t have the pace of strength like Chelsea and Barcelona do.

We agreed that whoever comes top has to pick a 4 star team, second 4 and half star team, third and fourth 5 star teams. This makes it fair.

Anyway, i warned all colleagues that in league 5 i will be using a 4 and a half star team and i choose Liverpool.

League 5

League 5 will be an interesting one. It currently looks like this:

• Liverpool (me)
• Blackburn (colleague 2)
• Manchester United (colleague 3)
• Barcelona (colleague 4)

I’ve played a game and beat Blackburn 3-0.  Blackburn (colleague 2) gave me some stick when he beat me in the previous league and i just warned him that i used the wrong team – 4 stars! I thrashed Blackburn – enough said. Carrying on, Manchester United beat Barcelona 3-0, which leaves us joint first.

I might be able to win this league, i think i will struggle against Manchester United – Anything can happen in football.
