The FIFA 09 GRcade Cup - Kanbei Wins GRcade Cup!

Wouldn't it be great if it had the TV feature that Gotham racing has....

It's a shame we're not able to watch it.

THE ANDY GRAY PREVIEW SHOW

First of all lets look at teh bork's Aston Villa

Throughout the team there is pace, pace, pace. Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonlahor being the 2 quickest players in the team, they are sure to give United problems at the back, their forward line has been in good from scoring 20 goals in the 6 matches so far with only 8 conceded. It remains to be seen whether their defence will recover after Cosmo put 3 past them in the semi-finals but there is no doubt of the quality of the defence with Laursen and Cuellar being big and strong centre backs. An area which could prove to be either a masterstroke or a disaster is the inclusion of Curtis Davies at right back, a centre back by trade will he be fast enough to cope with United's wing play. That remains to be seen. Gareth Barry has a massive job to do in midfield, he has to sit and attack himself to Wayne Rooney otherwise he will take hold of the game by the scruff of the neck. He does have the quality to stop him, so it remains to be seen whether he will do so.

Now let's look at Kanbei's Manchester United

Those of you who have played in the Rivals series know exactly what is going on here, a lot rests in United getting the wingers in play, if they are snuffed out then United have a real problem. It may look like a defensive formation but United have scored 23 goals so far in the tournament with only 4 conceded, so they are strong in both attack and defence. A lot of this defensive stability rests upon the partnership of Vidic and Ferdinand, Vidic especially has been an absolute rock in the heart of the United defence shown especially in their Semi-Final performance against Brick Tamlin, they may have conceded a goal but did a brilliant job in keeping Pato, Kaka and Ronaldinho quiet. Hargreaves and Carrick also did an amazing job, Hargreaves especially as he has the job of covering Gary Neville, the potential weak link in the United team, it seems a wise decision from bork to put Young up against the Man Utd captain. Man Utd's play is based on possession football so if Villa can cut this out they have a real chance they just have to be wary on the counter attack where the likes of Ronaldo, Nani and Rooney can be utterly devastating.

It should be quite a remarkable match and LIIIIVVVVEEE updates will be available on Xbox Live and Xbox.com from around 8pm tonight. It should be an absolute cracker.

If Shorey wasn't so gooseberry fool then he'd play, but I prefer the height of Davies, better cover when he has to help out with crosses. However having seen Utd's team I'm cacking it slightly as it's a bit too good. Ah well 8pm will show us all.

Me and Bork are going to start very soon, so if you want the live updates get on xbox live now.

We need a Soccer Saturday-esque team to report on the action.

I'll stick to Xbox.com for my updates. This had better be the best match in the history of everything.

And what the hell was VDS doing for that goal?

Went on to watch the online updates then realised that I didn't have either on my friends list :fp:

Oh well, my friend invite might annoy one of the players :twisted:

1-1already by the looks of it.

1-1 already.

These two are gooseberry fool. It's going to be a basketball score.

Their football Manchester United, is out of this world, but Villa are fighting like beavers, defending for their lives.

3-2 to United.
