TERRORS XI

A Fantastic one-two..Amar and Subadesh.. Vishwa.. Sami.. Still Sami.. Crossed deep into the area.. whos at the end of it?? Accckksshhhuuuuuuu… off the post.. It’s a Goal Kick.. Headed on by Nivas.. Given away cheaply.. Wonderful sliding tackle from Raj.. Sarvi.. Crossed wide court to Sai, An exquisite through Pass and Vicccchhhuuuuu… Scoresssssssss!!!!!!

Ever wondered what would be running through the minds of those orderly, organized football managers who keep strutting along the sideline every single match, trying to influence the refrees and the linesmen, and urging their players to score goals, or egging them to injure opponents if they are ahead.. Ah… No wonder Roman Abrahamovich keeps changing his managers too often! Or keeps firing them should I say.. Maybe this is the reason why India has never excelled in this sport.. they simply cant handle managerial pressure.. If just studying can teach administering and managing skills, as the whole nation believes, Sir Alex Ferguson, should have had a gold medal in MBA!! Search of foreign coaches for the Indian Cricket team says it all! Well, u can teach skills to a person, but u cant teach him flamboyance!

I decided to try out my skills as a manager, to see if i m flamboyant at it ;) and there is no other better place to do it other than EA Sports Fifa 08.(neengu ketkurathu puriuthu.. “ithukku thaan ivalavu build up ah ?” He he..) Fifa series of games have been my love since 7^th grade. They keep me occupied for hours like no one does. I remember last creating players in Fifa 2002, where they had a Creation Master software along with the game. And I also remember Fifa 02, has a set of about 25-30 face packs and the created player is to look only any one of those faces! The whole world has only such type of faces or what?!? all other are walking xerox copies of each other?!?

Its only now since then I have tried creating a neighbourhood friend or Collegemate or maybe at times, some one so despicable, just for the pleasure of making them run with the ball, until they fatigue. (Enna Villathanam :D ) Or pickup a fight during Training sessions or getting him injured or making him sit on the bench the whole season while every other player plays, Ah! Sweet.. :)) Fifa 08 has several options unlike Fifa 02, allowing people to have minute changes from hair colour to even lip colour..

.. Terrors XI, a club of he common faces i see everyday and those of unwavering friendship that has been etched in my heart forever. It is the begginning of the history of an undaunted, fearless, aggressive, talented club, which is to overthrow every other top european clubs (rombha over ah iruko!) in the years to come!! OLE!! OLE!!
