Una Liga De Futbol FIFA

I decided to play a season of FIFA soccer on the PlayStation. Can't get enough of dominating the Spanish Primera league with Barcelona.

38-0 league champions. Highlights:

Most goals in a game: 13
Biggest margin of victory: 12
Goals for: 255
Goals against: 39
Clean sheets (shutouts): 15

I'm pretty sure that the computer ups the difficulty level the better your record is, so the unblemished record is especially satisfying.

Home: 19-0, 140 GF, 19 GA
Away: 19-0, 115 GF, 20 GA

Leading goal scorers:
Eto'o 95 G, 21 A
Henry: 95 G, 20 A
Ronaldinho: 28 G, 10 A
Messi: 11 G, 14 A
Toure: 11 G, 6 A

Took 13 days to play through it.

My favorite play of the season was when a midfielder blasted the ball from the right corner, which ricocheted off the butt of his teammate and into the net. Then they cut to a close-up of the player and he's showing off, staring down a nearby opponent and pointing to the name on the back of his own shirt, as if he'd accomplished something, when in reality he was facing out of bounds at the time his teammate shot the ball. Reconsider your rep, buddy.
