Gearing Up for Villarreal
So, the Royal Whites take on the Yellow Submarine on Saturday, in what is expected to be a good test of their progress.
Villarreal usually put up a good fight and I don’t expect this occasion to be much different. So, guys, how’re we looking, heading into this challenge?
Ah… Memories
To be frank, I throw that old PES or FIFA CD/BRD in my console and play as that team from time to time…
You know, considering the (still great, don’t let me be misunderstood) teams that came after, a look at this lineup is enough to make you think “Oh man… that XI was overpowered”.
That team’s offensive capabilities — which were enough to tank multiple goals by opponents — often felt like a Geralt of Rivia fully upgraded in Bear school style. Ronaldo, though, often felt like he took the all the right mutagens for the upcoming opponents.
Alright, NeRo’s turning off Geek Mode now.
