There is nothing wrong with being attracted to very young girls. The bad thing is actually trying to sleep with or exploit them. As long as you limit your attraction to only imagination and Vaseline, you are fine.

Joggling is quite different from real football. It is just an exercise for ball control but on the pitch, you need more than ball control, you need power, vision, flexibility, stamina, speed and quick feet..

Romance / Re: Ladies Only : Share your worst experience With Menstrual Cramps ( Photo ) by Crossbow(m): 11:33am On Feb 17, 2019
I remember one of my very good friends coming to my room back in school days especially when it is severe, she will lie down on my bed and she'd shed tears quietly. Sometimes she told me to rub her stomach from side to side. I usually buy drugs for her too. I never had a girlfriend so she always ran to me for comfort when it starts, later she got herself a boyfriend.

Those times she caused being a woman and swore never to come back as a woman. I couldn't disagree.

Gaming / Why Most Expert Soccer Gamers Do Not Criticize José Mourinho's Football Tactics. by Crossbow(m): 11:54am On Feb 15, 2019
From his arrogance to his tactics, Mourinho has been able to make enemies from football fans all over the world. I am a United Fan and I don't hate him less but soccer gamers won't say the same thing if they were to be completely honest. Let us first observe the most common mode of play of expert soccer gamers.

Basic: Offensive Vs Defensive
Advanced: Offensive and Defensive

Offensive means that you are attacking your opponent, creating chances with the use of midfielders and strikers.. You are less concerned about your defense because you are quite sure your opponent isn't good enough to organize his own offensive that will be productive.

Defensive on the other hand is when you are under pressure, your opponent is obviously better than you and you want to bring your DMFs and Defenders close to the box, you don't want to risk an offensive or when you do it is poorly organized because the midfielders and strikers are not correctly positioned because of the "pull back" effect.

Don't get me wrong! The fact that you either use offensive or defensive doesn't mean you are a basic player, it depends on your opponent, for instance, I will be more offensive if I am playing with a novice to score more goals (especially for PES) but when I meet someone with greater abilities, I will be more defensive and wait for counter attacks (especially for FIFA).

The advanced form of play is when you have mastered the act of bringing players forward with a concrete plan for retreat when your team lose the ball and have stop a counter attack, this process goes on and on during the game because you have competent players you have mastered the skill, it could be disastrous if you have haven't mastered organized retreat and crude defensive system. I usually use this method when I meet my match and when I have am using a team like Man City.

Now what are the tactics most pro players like me copy from "the special one"?


1. Bringing midfielders and strikers back to tackle: this helps the defenders get in position and prepare for a more aggressive tackle when their midfielders can't get the ball. Most pro players use just DMFs to mark and leave the rest but me, I use the MFs and DMFs to attempt to stop an offensive before it gets to my defenders. Although we hate it when Mourinho uses this tactics but hey! it works.

2. Keeping some key players on the bench for last back up: Most football managers do this, but we only criticize Mourinho most times. The use of this tactic is when you need a force that will destabilize your opponent's team or when you need a goal so badly. This usually happens when you underestimated your opponent and he is beating you or when you want to seal your victory. Imagine keeping a player like Ibramovic on the bench and bringing him in when you want a goal so badly, it is a trick that will give you that desired effect.

3. Making last minutes substitution: Most real life managers use this to kill time, others do it when they have sealed their victory and they want other players to just move around the pitch before the final whistle. Mourinho does it to kill time especially when he doesn't want to risk a goal but since we cannot do it to kill time, we just do it for fun so that other players can play, especially when we have sealed our win!


4. Keeping players on the pitch after some obvious mistakes: I personally don't do this. I don't have patience for try and errors, if as a striker, you keep misplacing the ball, a midfielder that cannot complete passes or a weak defender who cannot hold on to strikers, I will take you away after your third error irrespective of how I am putting. Most pro players don't do this however, they usually start key players and when they don't function they just have to manage..


However, here are some tactics Mourinho uses that you should never try.

1. Not starting an AMF: You should never start a game without a good attacking midfielder, it is dangerous. Balls cannot creatively get to the strikers. Mourinho used to substitute Mata, that was bad!

2. Not making the right substitution the right time.

3. Hesitating to change formation when the game is going against you.

4. Playing a weak player in a key area, in a very important match: Till I die, I may never realise why Mourinho will start Phil Jones in a Center back position ahead of Baily in an FA cup final and keep him even when Phil Jones had an injury and Man U was losing.. Whatever Mourinho was thinking about that day, don't think about it. It won't work, you will lose that game.

Happy gaming guys!

Romance / Re: What Was The Dumbest Thing You Ever Did To Impress A Girl/guy? by Crossbow(m): 9:07am On Feb 06, 2019
I crushed so hard on a girl that I started writing a poem for her, I was supposed to see her on Sunday, I had to stay up late to complete the poem, I slept around 4am. The next day, she saw the poem and told me she wants to focus on her studies, relationships are distractions. I was 19 then.


Second was, I developed a language to encode words, I used it to keep a diary, when I met a girl then in 100 level, I was so infactuated with the girl that I encoded a love letter, put it in a brown envelope and only put my name and phone number at the end of the encoded letter, the girl as any girl would was confused and had to call me (that was my intention) when she called, I saved her number and felt like a genius, only to be mocked by my friends when they found out..

She was already having a boyfriend but they were having issues, instead of me to utilize the opportunity, I started resolving the issue, hoping she will reconcile and still choose me over him. Two months passed and she too turned me down, she said I was too soft, too gentle and not real.
