    About stronger teams losing to weaker ones, I noticed it almost 3 seasons ago.
    I am a proud manager of a low quality team, and for the two previous seasons I was beating stronger teams like crazy.
    The difference in qualities varied (about 5 or more points), but still I was always weaker, and used not sophisticated tactics.
    I still can't find an explanation to this.
    This season I've improved my team quality and the results finally started to vary (some losses, some wins, all within reason).
    But I keep observing the results in the Cup and it's an unwritten rule that the underdog teams have some secret advantage over stronger ones. This is true regardless if the manager is present during the game or not (on my level people are generally present).
    I'm playing in the cup finals tomorrow and my opponent has a slightly stronger team. I'm wondering if maybe this time the result will be more realistic, or will the underdog luck will lead me to another victory.
    I'm not complaining, it's nice to be the winning team, but I feel that the game is not fair.

    What is purpose of this forum then? Asking questions and waiting for miracle called "answer"? Where is the point?
    I've posted my facebook adress if some wants to add me because I think this forum won't last long, I've already started chatting with some players on facebook...

    Mostly it is easier to accept the odd defeat against an ACTIVE albeit weaker team as does happen in reality. Losing against a team that is inactive or where the Manager never watches is harder to take. Turning up to watch your game should have more benefit.
    I've said many times that the variables are all wrong.

    It is not only about wins and defeats. When we create hundreds of threads about problems, offer help and suggestions, reveal bad things that could be improved and no one approves that, then why are we doing that?
    That is why the last active members of this forum are angry, we are trying to keep this forum and game alive, improve it as far as possible but no support is showed by them who can change things.

    The best example of this is the PISS POOR commentary which is still going strong...And the dash that occurs in the commentary when some one is about to take the Free Kick...

    When we highlighted that Pontifex said that I have double checked it myself and the dash should not come now but after this the dash is still there...And till now nothing has been done to rectify it...LoL...
