@The Rebel CRS I recommend you do what I'm doing. Played nearly 10 games last night and I'm playing some of the best football. For some reasons, with academy players, they play a lot better than what they are rated. They grow quickly as fuck too. I'm still drawing a bunch of games, but the football i'm playing is some of the best I've played in all FIFA. 16 games in. 7 wins. 6 draws. 3 defeats. Currently sitting 5th.

You’re one of those people that if a Utd player fucked your lass up the arse and sent you a snap chat of it saying sorry, you’d take them down the pub and buy them a pint.

Some hard hitting comments from Barcelona’s latest signing Yerry Mina on the day of his presentation... “I define myself as a very calm person with a lot of patience. I know it’s a cliché, but I’ve come knowing that I have a lot to learn and I will be learning from the best at this club” “My father was a goalkeeper in his younger days and my uncle was the head coach at our town’s club where he initially put me in as the team keeper. My father even bought me a pair of beautiful gloves... In my first game I let in 8 goals and I just kept on crying and crying all the way home. My uncle told me not to worry and that we would try a new position... That wasn’t the problem, I didn’t care about playing and only cared about having been a disappointment for my father who was watching from the stands.” “On the question about who I owe my career in football to which has led me to the biggest club in the world, well again it will be another cliché but I can only speak about my personal life which is my childhood and the sacrifices my parents went through to bring up a family. My father would be away for a month at a time working in the fields collecting fruit and my mother would work nights and arrive at 5am where she would sleep for 1 hour and then be ready for when my brother and I would wake up so as to do all the chores she’d have to do which was also to take me to football and be there for me. We were all very hungry when I was a child and the very little there was to eat my father would put it on both my brother’s and my plate without my mother seeing it happen. My father would be very tired from his long work stints in a very hard laboured job, but he said that he ate a lot of fruit and didn’t need that which obviously my brother and myself didn’t believe and would make us cry. I owe everything to them and when I gave my father my first proesssional pay cheque so he could take our mother on their first ever holiday, he went down on his knees on what I deemed to be in a kind of reverence. I cried and picked him up saying that no matter what I ever achieve, what they had done for both of us will never be as big.” “We used to play in the road because they didn’t allow us to play in the local park due to being so poor. I only had one pair of shoes which were for school so I would play barefoot so as to not make my parents buy me new shoes. The boys that did have shoes would laugh at me and step on my feet on purpose making them bleed. But I loved playing so much that I would just wipe some saliva from my mouth to take the blood off and keep on playing. One of my best friends gave me the first ball I ever owned... A truck had run over it and burst it, so his mum bought him a new one and he gave me that one which all the skin from the leather had been worn off from playing so much with it. I didn’t care though because it was the first football I had ever owned and when my father came back from one of his long stints working the fields, he fixed the ball for me and we inflated it at the petrol station. It wasn’t perfectly round anymore and my father was disappointed at his repair work, but I told him it was perfect which made him laugh as he knew I was lying.” “What did my parents think when Barcelona contacted me? Well my father ended up in hospital because he fell and hit his head on the kitchen table. My mother started to cry and I think she still hasn’t stopped crying since... The truth is that I have already helped my family a lot before this move, but moving to Europe and on top of that moving to FC Barcelona is something very big for South American players. When you achieve this, you know your hard work has reached its maximum level.” He then goes on to speak about Barcelona and the players he admires at the club. We’ve all heard that stuff before so I won’t add it. For me it was that heartfelt story about his childhood which is something you don’t tend to get in these things and only mere references which we’ve all heard before. He’s not the first player that makes the big time coming from extreme poverty, but it’s the first time I’ve personally heard so much detail told on his presentation day. I watched it live and it almost had me in tears to be honest...

I am sure glad I didnt say I would do that if Salah improves Liverpool!

About that wind yesterday: Crazy.
