I looked through the press announcements in my series today, and found that the Wildfire, who I beat 3-1 this past Sunday had posted this:
8/11/2003 at 07:05 How and Why
Coming off of a horrible and controversial loss to the dumbes in the cup, the wildfire lose again, but this time have no explanation for it. Outnumbering the terps by 27 to 23 1/2 stars ans losing by 2 points? The fix was in. The Fire will be back with a vengeance though.
Interesting he counted the stars (and that I think when I counted them, I thought I had 22.5 stars but I rarely if ever count properly...percocet and oxycontin don't help...)
BUT he didn't look at the game ratings:
Real Terps FC
Player rating and Team formation
Midfield: passable (6)
Right Side Defence: solid
Central Defence: passable
Left Side Defence: inadequate
Right Side Attack: weak
Central Attack: inadequate
Left Side Attack: inadequate
NSI: 50
Las Vegas Wildfire
Player rating and Team formation
Midfield: weak (4)
Right Side Defence: passable [/B]
Central Defence: excellent
Left Side Defence: formidable
Right Side Attack: passable
Central Attack: inadequate
Left Side Attack: passable
NSI: 52
Yes, his offense and defense were generally much better than mine, but his midfield rating is 2 levels lower than mine. So another example where the stars might suggest one expectation, but the NSI might suggest another, at least in the midfield...
