FIFA 2010 World Cup: Peru at Canada, Intercontinental Playoff, First Leg

[bhurst99]

@Lorric101 There's a lot of truth in what you say. The away game is going to be tough. Peru barely showed up in Canada.

[Lorric101]

Hey, so how does it feel? All the months, and it comes down to this. 1 game. Failure or success...

[bhurst99]

@Lorric101 I've done nothing easy. I had to beat Haiti in the last Stage Three game to make it to Stage Four. I had to beat Costa Rica in the last stage Four game to make it to the intercontinental playoff. You know it's going to be a dogfight right until the end. I've been playing this dynasty for 18 months and it all comes down to one game. It has been pretty intense.

[Lorric101]

@bhurst99 Yes. That's what's made this so fun to watch. I do hope you'll do another one after this one is over. You've been riding that "perfect" level of difficulty.

You did do the Montserrat playoff easy though :)

[Lorric101]

Oh and the most stark comparison, even though I won, beat Qatar 6-1 at home, lost 3-0 away. Since the away leg was first, quite a proud achievement to overcome that deficit. I finally succeeded after 4 failures (other failure was 1-1 draw at home vs Japan, 1-0 loss away.)

[bhurst99]

@Lorric101 Nice comeback from the three-goal deficit.

[Lorric101]

@bhurst99 To make it better, I scored the 3rd goal in injury time. The 4th, 5th and 6th were all in extra time. Qatar's goal was no problem, it was the last one scored. I just wouldn't have it. I would not be denied! :)

Congratulation. Try to lead 0-1 at the halftime and that'll be over.

[bhurst99]

@hourand12 That's exactly my feeling. Get an away goal early in the second leg and then it's over.

[TheCestusDagla]

Actually celebrated the goals xD

Good luck for the 2nd leg

[Crackajack69]

you put this on an easier setting than usual didnt you?

[bhurst99]

@Crackajack69 Nope. Same setting.

[Crackajack69]

@bhurst99 k well done then :D

[eaglefanfromcanada]

Nice win! Domintaing performance, should of had atleast 4-5 (goals)!

[bhurst99]

@eaglefanfromcanada I know. A third goal would surely have been enough. I don't believe Peru will play as badly at home.
