I see livescore - desperate for any sort of football - has started giving results of the FIFA 20 Ultimate Quaran Team Cup (quarantine - get it?)
Couple of early results -
Cork City L-L Ross County
Derry City 1-2 QPR
Waterford 0-10 Angers
Burton Albion 0-2 Sligo Rovers
Oldham Athletic 1-6 Finn Harps
Portsmouth 1-3 Dundalk
So what's the craic with this - do you have to play with your own club? Anyone here involved?
You have to play as your own club. But to even things out, every player has been given an 85 rating.Quote:

Typical.
Late kick offs just don't suit CorkQuote:

Thought I remembered Dundalk announcing they had signed a professional fifa player a while back, maybe not.Quote:

It's at least 24 players with Stefan Colovic and Nathan Oduwa addedQuote:

I knew I had missed one, Colovic so that was 23 and totally forgot about Oduwa who signed a short term deal, but of course never played due to C-19. This is some squad we have if it ever resumes this season !Quote:

The StayIntertoto Cup (get it) is next up. UCD (Liam Kerrigan) beat Nottingham Forest (Tyler Walker) 8-1 just now. Can always rely on students to deliver when it comes to FIFA> :)
Also Crewe 4-2 Harps, and Coventry 2-2 Sligo after 20 minutes when internet connection stopped play.
Have to say, I still don't get the FIFA obsession. It just tries too hard for me. The commentary is ****e, and the player movement is still unnaturally clunky. But I'll take 8-1 any day!
The AI in Fifa is horrendous at times too. It looks really good though..
This is likely the most accurate desription of FIFA ever!!Quote:

Yes.
Specifically, it's players from each club representing the club.
UCD beat Hamilton 3-2 today and should make it through to the knock-outs. Though Swindon, the last team we've to face in the groups, are one of the favourites and beat Hamilton 5-0.
BetVictor are doing odds btw.
Ironically, Cameron Saul has now had more appearances for Finn Harps in eSports, than he has had on an actual football pitch.
But we cant blame that on the pitch in Dundalk anymore, so it's only hearsayQuote:
