			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the game was out since the 21st of October, but because i live far away from UK and the Steam game is altmost duble in money (really, 42 vs 70 $), i prefer to wait it&#8217;s arrival in Romania so I can buy it. It&#8217;s a very good game, but I have friends in UK that say that the match engine it&#8217;s a bit weird in some matches. </p>
<p>I hope they will sort this out and give us a patch in which we can play as a real fan of FM 2012 <img src='http://fmbuff.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Until then, it&#8217;s job time, meaning no FM 2012 until wednsday.</p>

I still got a lot of things to do and i think that the demo would only dissapoint me, because i want to play more than 6 months.

<p>Well, SI informed everyone the official date for FM 2012: 21st of October 2011. It&#8217;s great news actually, we expected to see the game somewhere near Christmas, but to find that in just one month we can have the game is excellent.</p>
<p>Of course, for a taste of it, we should have a demo in about 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see some of the modifications, but i am sure that all the people expect the full game and it&#8217;s new features.</p>
<p>Until then, we still rely on FM 2011 transfer updates to play a little. But the time is coming&#8230;.. for FM 2012!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, we&#8217;ve got some info about the new FM 2012, a game that will come out before Christmas 2011 (from some information they say they will take it out on 4th of November 2011). In this new game in the series are around 800 new improvements to the match engine, but also to the transfer &amp; contracts, scouting (i always wanted a better scouting system, we just have to wait for the demo to see what&#8217;s up) a new tutorial and other stuffs.</p>
<p>But the 2 most important changes are quite big: first, you can manage any nation and club around the world (FM World), meaning that even if you didn&#8217;t select that nation first at the start of the game, you can take a team from there and the league is automaticaly activated (as far as i&#8217;ve understand).</p>
<p>Second one is the tone, meaning the type of personality you can create on press conferences. It&#8217;s quite experimental, so i&#8217;m curious to see what&#8217;s on about.</p>
<p>And of course, the official thing about FM 2012</p>
<blockquote><p>Key new &amp; improved features for Football Manager 2012:</p>
<p><strong>Transfers &amp; Contracts</strong> – significant  changes to the transfer and contract systems, including loyalty bonuses,  better implementation of amateur and youth contracts, an improved  transfer centre and the ability to lock areas of the contract  negotiation when you aren&#8217;t prepared to budge. This helps you to manage  your budgets and gives you flexibility in what you offer money hungry  players, or agents, as incentives.</p>
<p><strong>Scouting improvements</strong> – using several real  life scouting reports, a new in-game report has been devised which  includes squad analysis, tactics information and information about goals  scored and conceded alongside lots of other scouting improvements,  giving you all the information you need to prepare before kick-off and  throughout the season.</p>
<p><strong>3D Match Improvements</strong> – new animations, a  whole new crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two  brand new cameras &#8211; &#8220;Behind Goal&#8221; and &#8220;Director Cam&#8221; as well as all  other camera angles being reversible &#8211; meaning you can watch and analyse  every aspect of every game.</p>
<p><strong>Manage Anywhere, Anytime</strong> – the ability to  add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you  want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning  you don’t have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be  playable at the start of your career.</p>
<p><strong>Tone</strong> – a whole new level has been added to  team talks and conversations, with the new tone system, which allows you  to specify the way you want to say things – be as cool as a cucumber by  saying things calmly or throw tea cups around by saying things with  passion. There are 6 different tones to choose from with specific  comments per tone.</p>
<p><strong>Intelligent Interface</strong> – a new adaptive  layout system, which means the higher your screen resolution, the more  info is easily at your fingertips. The new interface also contains new  filters, customisable columns, a new tactics screen, and lots of new  overview screens.</p>
<p><strong>Brand New Tutorial</strong> – standing separate from  the main game, a mode to help new players find their way around the  game easily, whilst also offering tips to experienced managers on how to  get the most out of the game, as well as a new in-game “how to” system.</p>
<p>On top of these key innovations, there are lots of areas of the game  that have had huge improvements, such as the media system, press  conferences, the youth system, newgens, the social networking options,  friendlies, international management and many more which will be  detailed in a series of video blogs over the coming months, alongside  more information about Football Manager 2012.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, i&#8217;ve done it. I&#8217;ve won the Czech First Division Title four times in a row. Also, i&#8217;ve won the Czech Cup four times in a row. Basicly I&#8217;ve every trophy in Czech Republic in the last 4 years.</p>
<p>In Czech Republic the situation is very good, but elswere were problems. A lot of problems. I&#8217;ve qualified with Australia at World Cup and i was in a group with Spain, Peru and Switzerland.</p>
<p>The first match was a huge tactical succes, i&#8217;ve won 2-0 win Spain after Spain dominated the game. But i&#8217;ve scored.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had hopes that i could qualify on second round, but they would be ruined by 2 bad games: 0-2 with Peru and 0-2 with Switzerland, after a hugely bad games. I was out. Even after i was out, the Aussie Federation was quite satisfied, particulary over the win, 2-0, with Spain.</p>
<p>But I want to leave from Australia and take another nation to succes. Let&#8217;s see if I got any chance after the World Cup Ends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 4 years on Ostrava, my performances keep to amaze me. Except one team (Viktoria Zizkov, team that took 4 points away from me), i&#8217;ve beat every single team in the championship this season.</p>
<p>In UEFA Champions League i had a better season, although i finished fourth in my group, with 6 points. I drawed with all those three teams (1-1 with PSV, 1-1 with Manchester United, both at home and 1-1 with Zenit St. Petersburg at St. Petersburg), i&#8217;ve won one match (an excellent match at Einhovend, 3-1 victory) and two defeats in first two matches (2-3 with Zenit, in a match in which I should have won and 0-4 away on Manchester United, no comment about that).</p>
<p>Now, after 21 matches in Czech First Division, i have 19 wins, one draw and one defeat (both with Viktoria Zizkov, as i&#8217;ve said). I&#8217;ve won in both matches against Sparta Praga without to many problems (1-0 and 3-2, but in both matches i&#8217;ve had more that 10 shots on target). Anyway, i&#8217;ve spoken about Sparta Praga because this is the only team that can keep up with me. (5 points behind, 2 draws and 2 defeats, both with me).</p>
<p>Now i have the 22nd match this season in Czech First Division, with Opava. I guess it will be an easy match.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After two and a half seasons Banik Ostrava rules everything in Czech Republic. I cruise through the Czech Cup and the Czech Republic First Division.</p>
<p>In Czech Cup i am in the quarter finals, after easily beating every team. In Czech First Division i have 12 wins and 4 draws, first place, with 40 points, 8 more then the next team, Teplice.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, everything was shadowed by my performance in Uefa Champions League Groups, where i managed to loose 4 out of 5 games so far, i managed a draw with Twente at home, but after that i&#8217;ve lost all my matches. At nill.</p>
<p>1-1 with Twente at Ostrava, 0-3 with Olympique Lyon at Lyon, 0-2 with Manchester United in Manchester, 0-2 with Manchester United on Ostrava (on both matches i&#8217;ve received the goals in the last 15 minutes. In the second match i was far better that Manchester, but i was unlucky) and finally 0-2 with Twente at Enschede. The last match will be with Olympique Lyon, at Ostrava. I don&#8217;t have any chance to go through, anyway.</p>
<p>I managed to get Australia national team also. There, after two embarasing defeats (0-1 with Iraq and 1-2 with Kuwait) i finally managed to find a tactic to suit my team. The next match at home with Saudi Arabia was a succes: 5-2 (4 goals by Scott McDonald) and after that a draw with Chile, 3-3 (after i&#8217;ve been in the lead, 2-0). But situation looks good from now on and I have hopes that I will qualify with Australia on World Cup for the third consecutive time. And this time is in Brazil&#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Copa America&#8230;. Peru national team didn&#8217;t won it since 1975 and with this squad i have a lot of doubts that it can even get to quarter finals, my and my federation objective. We shall see. The competition is hosted by Argentina and the last winner was Brazil, i should correct that from the last post.</p>
<p>21th of June 2011 &#8211; I have to decide about my 23 player squad and it&#8217;s going to be a little bit hard, since i have some good players injured at this time. Still, after some carefull consideration, i&#8217;ve chosed my 23 players for Copa America.</p>
<p>Goalkeepers &#8211; George Forsyth, Erick Delgado, Raul Fernandes</p>
<p>Defenders &#8211; Alberto Rodriguez, Pedro Aparicio, Wenceslao Fernandez, Santiago Acasieste, Carlos Zambrano, Giancarlo Carmona, Roberto Guizasola, Mario Gomez</p>
<p>Midfielders &#8211; Marcio Valverde, Juan Manuel Vargas, Paolo de la Haza, Rinaldo, Robi Merino, Luis Ramirez, Jefferson Farfan, Juan Cominges</p>
<p>Forwards &#8211; Jose Paulo Guerrero, Johan Fano, Willmer Aguire, Claudio Pizzaro.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, 2 days after the squad was made, Wenceslao Fernandes, an important reserve player (can paly both left and right in defense) injuried for a long time and i can&#8217;t call up another player.</p>
<p>Just four days until the opening match and in Brazil is absolute madness. Brazil and Argentina are the main favourites, with other teams like Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile can have something to say about. Me, with Peru, i only want to beat one team so I can qualify in the quarter finals. And the easiest team to beat in Ecuador, which i&#8217;m playing in four days.</p>
<p>The Match day with Ecuador, the squad is selected</p>
<p>Erick Delgado &#8211; Mario Gomez, Pedro Aparicio, Santiago Acasieste, Roberto Guizasola &#8211; Rinaldo, Paolo de la Haza &#8211; Jefferson Farfan, Juan Cominges, Juan Manuel Vargas &#8211; Claudio Pizzaro</p>
<p>In the first match in Copa America, Argentina beat Columbia with 1-0.</p>
<p>And just 14 minutes into the game, Pedro Aparicio in sent off. Fuck&#8230;.</p>
<p>Cominges is out, Alberto Rodriguez is in. It&#8217;s going to be tough to beat Ecuador now.</p>
<p>26th minute &#8211; 1-0 for Ecuador. Mario Gomez deflect a shot by Ayovi and the ball goes in the net.</p>
<p>42nd minute &#8211; Antonio Valencia scored. With his crushing speed he pass Mario Gomez and he was all alone with Erick Delgado&#8230;and he scored.</p>
<p>Two more changes &#8211; Guerrero for Pizzaro and Luis Ramires for Mario Gomez. Changed the tactic to a 4-3-2</p>
<p>53rd minute &#8211; Guerrero manage to score from an impossible angle and get one back for Peru. I hope it is not just the consolation goal.</p>
<p>64th minute &#8211; Paolo de la Haza hits the bar. 40 seconds later Farfan get a ball in the back of Ecuador defense and scores. 2-2.</p>
<p>81st minute &#8211; Farfan manages an 60 meters race and nearly get it in the net&#8230;. nearly&#8230;</p>
<p>Final whistle. And excellent game, but just a draw. I made an excellent second half, but the first half and the sent off of Aparicio managed to kill the game.</p>
<p>The next match, three days later with Argentina. That&#8217;s a no match&#8230; i will have to take a defence position with Argentina.</p>
<p>Until then there are matches in group B and group C.</p>
<p>In group B Bolivia &#8211; Japan 3-2 and Paraguay &#8211; Brazil 1-5 (crushing&#8230;)</p>
<p>In group C Mexic &#8211; Chile 0-0 and Uruguay &#8211; Venezuela 2-0</p>
<p>The next match with Argentina was quite a nasty one, so i had to make some defensife modifications for this match.</p>
<p>But until this match, i hoped for a draw between Columbia and Ecuador so i could have some chances for the second round&#8230;. and they didn&#8217;t draw. Columbia beat Ecuador, 1-0, and they are the main favourites for qualification. I have to beat them in the final match.</p>
<p>Now, back to Argentina.</p>
<p>I choosed a 4-1-3-2 and&#8230;. it failed. Badly. Argentina control the match.</p>
<p>10th minute &#8211; Gonzalo Higuain scores with a shot from 15 meters.</p>
<p>After a first half in which i didn&#8217;t even managed to shot on net, i&#8217;ve changed tactics. 4-2-2-2 with 2 wingers, Cominges and Farfan and 2 strikers, Guerrero and Willmer Aguire.</p>
<p>Willmer Aguire was on for Luis Ramires, which was injuried.</p>
<p>68th minute, Robi Merino is on for Rinaldo, which have some physical problems.</p>
<p>75th minute &#8211; Willmer Aguire hits the bar after an excellent pass from Jefferson Farfan.</p>
<p>80th minute &#8211; Claudio Pizzaro for Paolo de la Haza, who also have physical problems. Quite bad physical problems&#8230;.</p>
<p>91th minute &#8211; Pizzaro misses the net and the match is over. Argentina win with 1-0.</p>
<p>Final whistle. Peru &#8211; Argentina 0-1.</p>
<p>The next match will be &#8220;the match&#8221;. I have to beat Columbia to get forward in the competition.</p>
<p>More problems stil ahead. Luis Ramires in injuried and can&#8217;t play in the competition. More players are extremelly tired.</p>
<p>Until then, the other groups</p>
<p>In group B Japan &#8211; Paraguay 0-2 and Brazil &#8211; Bolivia 0-0 (quite a surprise)</p>
<p>In group C Chile &#8211; Uruguay 1-3 and Venezuela &#8211; Mexico 1-1</p>
<p>For now, Argentina and Uruguay are qualified in quarter finals.</p>
<p>The match with Columbia. I&#8217;ve played quite an offensive game, so the normal 4-2-3-1.</p>
<p>27th minute &#8211; Columbia crush my team, no goal so far, but this is not healthy&#8230; at all.</p>
<p>37th minute &#8211; Moreno scores for Columbia</p>
<p>Half time &#8211; two changes &#8211; Aparicio for Alberto Rodriguez and Cominges for Mario Gomez.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve lost that match and i&#8217;m out of Copa America and probably out of Peru. Fucking match with Colombia&#8230;.and Ecuador (motherfucking referee).</p>
<p>In group B Japan &#8211; Brazil 4-1 (WTF) and Bolivia &#8211; Paraguay 0-1</p>
<p>In group C Uruguay &#8211; Mexico 2-2 and Venezuela &#8211; Chile 1-3</p>
<p>Meaning that in the Quarter finals are qualified:</p>
<p>From Group A : Argentina, Columbia</p>
<p>From Group B : Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay</p>
<p>From Group C : Uruguay, Mexico and Chile</p>
<p><strong>The Quarter Finals</strong>:</p>
<p><u>Uruguay</u> &#8211; Bolivia 3-1</p>
<p><u>Brazil</u> &#8211; Chile 3-0</p>
<p><u>Argentina</u> &#8211; Mexico 6-0 (ouch)</p>
<p>Paraguay &#8211; <u>Columbia</u> 0-1 (so I&#8217;m as good as Paraguay)</p>
<p><strong>The Semi Finals</strong>:</p>
<p>Uruguay &#8211; <u>Argentina</u> 2-2 (2-4 on penalties) </p>
<p>Columbia &#8211; <u>Brazil</u> 1-4</p>
<p><strong>The Third Place Final</strong></p>
<p><u>Columbia</u> &#8211; Uruguay 4-1</p>
<p><strong>The FINAL</strong></p>
<p><u>Brazil</u> &#8211; Argentina 2-0</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve attended the final, so i could see the best match in the World.</p>
<p>Pato scored a magnificent goal in the first minute</p>
<p>Gonzalo Rodriguez get a yellow card and a penalty is awarded. Thiago Silva misses the penalty!</p>
<p>45th minute (second half) &#8211; Pato scores again. That player is quite incredible!</p>
<p>Brazil won the Copa America. 2-0 in the final with Argentina.</p>
<p>Brazil will host Copa America in 2015.</p>
<p>As if for me, The Peru football federation is dissapointed about the result of Peru on Copa America and more than that Claudio Pizzaro resigned as Peru capitan.</p>
<p>The new capitan will be Alberto Rodriguez, the Braga defender.</p>
<p>We shall see if the federation stil wants me for the World Cup Qualification, where I hope that i produce a better performance than in Copa America.</p>
