GameSpot UK Mini PES5 World Cup - Day 14
by itstheRuss on Comments
We reached the business end of the GameSpot UK Mini PES5 World Cup on Friday afternoon. And, as in real life, England were left with the bitter taste of a penalty shoot-out defeat, after drawing 1-1 with Italy. It was an exciting game with chances at both ends -- Buffon showing his world class with an amazing reflex double safe, and Totti dragging a sharp shot just wide of the England post. Rooney took the lead early in the second half, losing his marker in the box and shooting past Buffon. After that, though, it was all Italy, and Totti equalised in the 84th minute with a lovely touch that left Ferdinand scrambling. Extra time saw few shots, although Italy had the bulk of the chances, and it went to penalties. England missed two penalties and it was Italy who went through to the final. And it's all overfor me. An undeserved victory to an under par Cameroon has put an end to Portugal's World Cup bid. What can only be described as a scrappy goal won it in the end, probably Guy's only shot of the game! I hit the bar a couple of times and did all the attacking. Portugal (Russ) 0 - 1 Cameroon (Guy) England (Graeme) 1 - 1 Italy (Phil) Italy win in penalties
