I'm not sure about penalties on the Xbox, but on the PS3: - you use the
right analogue stick to make the goalie dive (instead of walk) - you have
to time your shot so that it is in the green (otherwise he will fall over,
a la John Terry) - the longer you hold the left analogue stick in a certain
direction as (and after) you press shoot, the wider it will go (hold it too
long and you'll blaze it wide) - and John, hold L2 (or maybe left trigger?)
for a 'panenka' penalty :P hope this helps!
the orangeness of the Dutch kits made me think of Augustus's orange picnic
thing for Hazel and I therefore spent much of the last seventeen minutes
craving a cheese sandwich. possibly not the result Hank and John were going
for with this video.
Hank: "Why did you stop moving, you Dorkmonger?!" John: "I unnecessarily
jigged and jogged! ... "Ugggghh! Sharnuzgooz!" Watching these videos
continues to expand my vocabulary in the most wonderful ways. :D
Things John Green has taught me: 1. How to be awesome (a lesson co-taught
by Hank Green). 2. John Green is fat (except he's kinda not). 3. Hank
always scores on corner kicks (except for when he doesn't).
"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the
end, the Germans win." Gary Lineker after losing the 1990 World Cup
semifinal to Germany by penalty shootout.
You both should play NHL 11 and/or 12. I'm not saying that just because
hockey's my favorite sport, but because there's first-person fighting and I
think that'd be loads of fun.
I lol'd at that as well Then again, John thinks Fat Lucas has a secret
rating for "heart", so I guess it's not too outlandish to think that
dissent is included in the game
By watching only the second half of this game, it does rather make me
wonder how they managed to score at all in the first half. Still this is
ludicrously entertaining.
I was at Elland Road last week. (I'm a Leeds United fan) and everytime I
saw a slide tackle I mentioned whether or not I found it to be 'necessary.'
Thanks John. -_-
Excuse me, hank wierd names? It's a fact that a lot of Americans have
stupid names, may I remind you of the American idol finalist, Philip
Philips? PHILIP PHILIPS!!!
Love it when you play fifa, and i think the fact that you don't really know
what to do makes it soo much better. I mean if you were good it would just
be boring
Cheer the greeks and swiss in every competition because i feel there is a
place for defensive football but it shows how shit they were because
Samaras is involved in every goal they scored and now that he's out of the
team because the manager doesn't rate him they can't even beat the Faroe
Islands.... Samaras is really jesus
I'm so glad that once again, Holland only get a bronze medal. They were
absolute cheaters throughout most of the tournament, so to see them get
knocked out by Argentina, I smiled a lot.
+Barryoh He wasn't that bad. It was a decent enough finish.
John Oliver Explains English Soccer to David Letterman HD
David Letterman's last Late Show is tonight! Highlights of The Late Show with David Letterman can show us the best moments of Letterman throughout the years ...
Here's how it works. This year let's say Aston Villa gets only 20 points in
a entire season. They finish bottom. They are immediately relagated. Then
in the Championship Fulham wins. Fulham takes the place of Aston Villa and
we rinse and repeat. Second and third bottom of the Premier go to a playoff
against second and third of the Championship. Same goes in each league
+Darth Vader Woops. Thought it was the same way in Bundesliga. And I got the numbers wrong in the Bundesliga. Bottom 2 automatically relegated 3rd bottom in playoff. in Bundesliga 2 top 2 are automatically promoted and third plays playoff vs third bottom of the Bundesliga
I'm a big fan of John Oliver, but he's not at his best here. Forced to make
a spot decision on whether to clearly explain the English football league
system or to be funny, he wound up doing neither.
The jokes were more awkward than amusing, and the system of promotion and
relegation is actually pretty simple, as I learned elsewhere in about five
minutes.
+Threepwoot And the Aussies and the Canadians. Course there is always rugby football and Gaelic football. You aren't interesting, original or on point. Keep it up and you might get someones old participation ribbon.
every other league is pretty shit. la liga is basically real, athletico, barcelona, and valencia. the bundesliga is a fucking joke but it at least has schalke, bayern, dortmund, and wolfsburg. and i dont even need to talk about the french and italian leagues. the bpl is amazing and has the most amount of good team: man utd, man city, leicester, liverpool, tottenham, arsenal, and chelsea. the bpl is unpredictable whereas the other leagues are pretty boring and basically between 2 or 3 teams.
I don't get this. I thought every year the bottom 3 teams in every division
get relegated and top 3 teams move up. But because you only play teams in
your division, the points are compared within your league. So it doesn't
matter that a Championship teams has more points than ManU. All that
matters is where they stand in their own division. There's no replacement?
Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
+adskulnick yeah. I'm a fan so I know how the league works. Or I thought I did until I watched this and thought maybe I missed something. Thanks for the info though dude.
You are right, though it's not always 3 teams. Some different leagues have different cut offs. But yeah, if everyone was comparing scores then it would be irrelevant. May I recommend Wikipedia as a good source of information, not this pillock
I'm an american, and can I just say, the complete and utter lack of regard
to the fine sport of *football*
(not-running-into-each-other-and-bashing-each-other's-brains-out ball) is
horrifying to me.
+Rusty Shakleford Do you understand the calls when they're made? Part of the fun is screaming at the ref he is wrong. And actually, not always. At the final Women's World Cup game, USA won 5-2. I am not saying this to belittle you, I'm sorry if it seemed that way.
+Rusty Shakleford Soccer is one of the greatest sports ever! It's boring if you don't understand the rules, or the complexity of the footwork, or can't see how players cut off amazing passes. It's boring if you can't see how a goalie barely save a shot by their finger tips, or how a ball curved in the air, or see an amazing save. It's boring if you don't understand it. Really play soccer, really watch soccer, and you can't deny that it's amazing.
