@Bridge: of course he had a Player on this side,it could be a DC that must run a bit more to faces against your wingers^^

@loses against weaker teams^^: of course there are results that doesn´t make sense, but this is quite normal, or how you can explain why Teams like Real, Chelsea or Bayern Munich doesnt win every match? Last season Bayern lost to Bate Borisov 3:1 in CL
this doesn´t make sense but it happend

@Topic: Of course you had the better teams,but the difference between the teams isnt that huge (i think under 10 percent), than your opponent can have had a strategie that let you run into a open knife, for example in the first Match you could have being attacking through the Middle, and your opponent plays with defense with long passes and Counter attacks. Your team running against a wall
last Season in CL semifinal my opponent was a little bit weaker than my team, but shots 3 goals in the first 20 minutes (a counter, a penalty and a goal after a singlecorner) at end he wons 3:1 the Match at home a was 2:0 in front and 89 Minutes i get the 2:1 through an shot from far away-.- this season that opponent is in my league i´m first he is actually 10 and i won both League games clearly (3:1 an 2:0 without any problems)

does this Sucks? YES
is this realistic? OH YES
