Rise of the Palace - Crystal Palace FIFA 12 Dynasty

[orion523]

Great start with 13 points in the first six matches, at this rate you'll breeze to promotion.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm worried about getting too far behind the top two and losing in the promotion playoffs....

Match #9
@ Cardiff City

An uneventful first half brought about a crazy second half. In the last 85th minute Scannell drove home a goal to tie the game up at 2-2. Only 5 minutes later in the 90th minute Jedinik took a shot from outside the box and buried it to give Crystal Palace a 3-2 lead (I was celebrating at this point).
Cardiff City didn't panic. The attacked up the wing and patiently found Earnshaw with a cross who headed it home on the final play of the match for a 3-3 tie.

Ok...I got a bit buried and my personal laptop is on it's death bed...so my updates from here on out will be a bit bare bones compared to how I had started (I also don't really have the time to do the pictures & such).

I will skip a few of the game recaps as well and start from the last game I had my records at.

The match vs. Derby County was a defensive battle. Neither team had many good looks at goal. It looked as though I would get a point and finally blank somebody, but Derby's C. Maguire headed home a goal in the 92nd minute to give Crystal Palace a 0-1 defeat.
