How much of football do u know ???

[Nemo]

How much of football do u know ???

I know as much that League is when each team plays every other team, preferably twice on home and away basis and final victor is decided on the basis of Total points. Hence the English Premier League, La Lega, League 1, Bundesliga.

While tournaments with groups and knock outs are CUP tournaments.. hence u have the FA CUP, Kings Cup, UEFA (Europa) cup. Only Champions league is an exception.

Here, read it and weep LEAGUE.

I know i am just nitpicking here, but i am pretty sure of what i type. I am just feeling bored as i wait for fifa 10 to join all u guys.

and oh yea, for u-





BTW, this is a really awesome tourny u have made DAN. I wish i had fifa 09, but its better t wait for a few months and get 10.. i guess.

[HundredProofSam]

Because this uses FIFA 09's Online League game mode.

If you want another reason - The first time we called it the GI League, so calling this GI League 2 shows continuity.

@Dan, I think we should have two players progressing from each group, otherwise 20 out of 24 people will be out of the competition halfway through it. I also think there should be a seed system for arriving at the players in each group based on the first league.



peace

[Nemo]
