FIFA 10 Knockout Tournament

obliviousgrudge

OK, I've had a look here but can't seem to find any knockout tournaments.
So I decided I would make one. PS, don't worry about getting an inexperienced organizer, I've arranged ones on other forums too, so you're in safe hands.

OK, it will probably we a straight knock-out competition, maybe with 2-legs for matches and possibly a similar structure to Champions League/Europa League, i.e., if you get knocked out of main tournament you join a lower grade one. This will all depend on numbers though, sorry if this sounds complicated.

Anyway, you must pick a team with a rating of between 0.5 - 4.0 stars so no 5 star of 4.5 star teams.

Just post your PSN and your desired team below.

The one team can only be used once, i.e. two people can't both use Celtic.

Just a suggestion, maybe you should pick the teams and randomly assign them to players.

I'd say you could easily get 16 if you leave it till Wednesday. Don't see what the big rush is.

But the actual match didn't end in a draw, so we didn't have the option.

Oh yeah sorry, my bad. Dunno I suppose you'll just have to play a third match. Suppose thats for emmetmcl to decide though.

L'prof

Tippy tappy for 90 mins until it goes to et & pens!

Now or Never

We both agreed to play a third match, which turned out to be a little more one-sided than our first two games. I won 4-0, but that's possibly a bit harsh on bharat.

Lille 0 - 4 Deportivo.
