Well, I've read all the complaints from people here about servers failing during games, and it finally bit me during my Champions League final.



When my MC got injured, I went to the formation tab to make a sub and the connection dropped. I got a few "connection failed" and "server not responding" errors until finally ~15 minutes later it reconnected and I saw the final score (meaning I lost 1-0). Is that the reason I lost? Who knows, my opponent was just slightly higher quality then me (35.6 vs 34.9 OQ) and I felt we were evenly matched, but I had +10% fans (me plus 1 friend, opponent did not watch) and I had a 68%-32% possession advantage. I will never know if a substitution would have saved me, but it was just really frustrating to not have had the chance to affect the outcome. Second year in a row I have lost in the CL final.

Worst part is he got injured on a dirty tackle by Isco, who got a yellow card for it.
