Of course.

I do not believe that is your real account, my friend.  Said user has not played FIFA 13.

This all seems incredibly convenient for you, Scott.

I retract my offer.

The tackling thing is an actual issue on Fifa, but corners and goal-kicks? They're not difficult.

I probably could avoid the issues, but I like to put myself into those situations so that I can rage at the television screen and let some steam loose.

Anger is never good when it comes to playing Fifa.

I only ever express my anger well through writing, so I normally just splutter and stutter and say words from the gutter.

The GK thing does happen to me. I think it depends on the height of your midfielders and strikers in comparison to your opponents. Usually if I have a short team they out head me during GK's and always mange to head it to that one lingering striker that's standing in between my two CB's that are miles apart and he runs clean through and tucks it away. I usually learn after they beat me in the air the 1st time and then just kick/pass it out wide.

If you know what to do, every goal kick will end up in the possession of your own team.

If you're familiar with your teams GK then maybe, but even then it does depend on your opponent.

I usually try and play with a range of different teams and I don't make a point of checking out my GK's kicking stats before a match so it just ends up being trial and error.

I play with a range of teams too  

Yeah, that shit is easy. Don't know what you fools are complaining about.

I just pass the ball to my CB from a GK and then pass it to somebody else and then I hit it over the top for Ronaldo and score

I only use Ronaldo

If you have wingers goal kicks are fine, otherwise there is nowhere guaranteed safe.

Lob it to your left back or right back. (Depending which side of the 6 yard box the GK is kicking from) Guaranteed safe.

If your opponents losing and its late-ish in the game and he has high pressure and team pressing with Ultra attack then that's dangerous to do.

You change the power of the lob depending on where the opposition's players are. If there's no-one near your LB/RB then it's just a simple lob over to his feet. If there's someone marking your LB/RB then you do it slightly more powerful, so it then drops over his head and the opposition's player won't be able to recover/get to the ball as quickly as your LB/RB.

I've been doing this forever and I can't recall a single time where this has resulted in me losing possession. Worse case scenario is, your LB/RB goes all spaz and lets the ball just roll by him and go out for a throw-in, but that's extremely rare.

It's been about 5 FIFA years since I've actually held onto the game for the entire year. 

I hope FIFA 14 can last at least 4 months before I rage and return it for something where I can kill people.

I've commented on a lot of poker videos, that's probably one of the better ones.
