Winning the Virtual World Cup

One of my favorite sports is Football. However playing football in the real world is pretty hard considering many factors like finding at least 11 football players in our team, finding an opponent to play against, finding a football field, and figuring how to get everyone there. Due to all those issues, we found that playing virtual football as a team is certainly a easier thing to do. A few days ago, our football team assembled at my home, and we played Winning Eleven which is our favorite football game on the PS2.

In Winning Elevenwe usually compete in the World Cup(International Cup) and all of us would be playing in the same team. As being in the same football team, most of us have good knowledge on positioning issues. In this time around, we decided to create our players in Saudi Arabia and create arab sounding variations of our nicks. The last time we played this game, we were in Japan, and we made some seriously strange variations of our names. One example was like my little bro who was called Dan, and his character was called Danimaru.

After a number of matches we won the tournament and looking back at it I have to admit that stuff is something only homies would be proud of :P


The picture above is our team just strutting around before the award ceremony.

Lifting the trophy.


Starting the celebration. My character is just left of the captain. My largest contribution in the team was in the finals were after falling behind my 1 goal and 1 assist we managed to win the tournament :)


Who let the monkeys out?


Going for a lap of honor...
