Slaughter !

Balki and myself abandonded our plans for another tournament night the other day as we decided to test Wah!Cade on my linux laptop. Balki managed to fix a couple of problems I'd been having and we got a few bugs ironed out. Which left a couple of hours left for a Pro Evolution Soccer 5 mini-tournament. Prize on offer was the MAME Master Trophy.......

First a quick rundown of the rules -

• pick 2 equally skilled teams
• play normal and extra time
• no penalties
• winner declared after time runs out

So, we picked Columbia and Senegal and 10 minutes a game. We drew the first game. And the second. And possibly the third (all 0-0). Just when it looked like no-one was going to score Balki fluked a tap in ion the 89th minute of the 4th game. Absolute disaster. Another couple of 0-0 draws and eventually Balki was declared the winner. Almost as bad as losing on penalties ! We had a few minutes spare before Balki had to go home so we picked Argentina V Argentina just to see if we played any better with a decent team. Lots more goal opportunities including a couple of open goals which I still managed to either sky the ball or hit the post. Balki eventually fluked another goal before stealing the trophy and heading off into the night.

Next time Balki !
