I'm trying to access my saved videos over at easports.com and it looks like they changed the website around and now I have no idea where to go. Help?

Edit: Ok, I found the videos but now I don't see the option to download them (so I can upload them to youtube and post them on my update)

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Well well well...after the whole drama with the car and everything, it turns out that it was not as expensive as first thought. This means that next week, i will have an xbox one.

As you may know i have a Shrewsbury career goin on and i don't believe the career mode aspect transfers from 360 to the one so the career will be lost. This weekend i am going to try and create a cool storyline on which to end...

And also take over. I shall continue to play through the season, then when i get my one, i shall start the career again, but sim through up to where i get to. I recognise that the league positions and cup progress will all change but i shall do the transfers i made before starting the career in order to keep them.

Again the youth academy will go but that can be restarted. I'm currently in January and have a lot of playing time thois evening so there could be an update tonight.

DFB Pokal Quarter Final

Bahebeck 61' pen


FC Augsburg 0 - 1 Hertha BSC
Lacazette 17'


Hertha BSC 4 - 0 FC Schalke 04
Calhanoglu 15', 45', Lacazette 31', Skjelbred 34'

Two top teams faced for the second time this season, this time at the Olympiastadion. The game got off to an even start but Kevin Prince Boateng's red card in the 11th minute changed everything. Hakan Calhanoglu scored from the following free kick and the red card completely changed the game. Hertha kept on attacking and Schalke didn't do anything in the first half which lead to three more goals. Alexandre Lacazette scored the second in the 31st minute after a counter attack and Per Skjelbred added a third only three minuets later with a curled shot after the ball was passed to him in the middle. The last goal of the game was scored in added time when Hakan Calhanoglu was left free in the box. The ball was played to him and the attacking midfielder just tapped the ball in the net.


Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 2 Hertha BSC

Champions League Round of 16
Spartak Moscow 1 - 3 Hertha BSC
Movsisyan 3'
Lacazette 45' pen, 57', Mukhtar 90'

Hertha BSC faced Spartak Moscow in their Champions League round of 16 game and they had a bad start. Movsisyan received the ball in the 3rd minute outside the box and the striker shot first time. The ball curled over Thomas Kraft in the top right corner for a surprising beginning. Hertha then took control of the game and a red card in the 42nd minute helped. The following penalty was sadly saved by Spartak's keeper and the result remained 1-0. Three minutes later the Berliners got another chance from the spot when Calhanoglu got tackled in the box. Lacazette put the ball in the net from the following penalty and the Frenchman scored his second before the hour mark after turning past a defender and slotting the ball at the near post. Then in stoppage time Hany Mukhtar scored a third important away goal with a tap in.

Player of the Month



Alexandre Lacazette

Lacazette continued his triumph and great play in February and he scored four really important goals for his team. Once again Hertha were much more dangerous with the young striker in the team and it's clear how important he is to the team. Some big offers will come in for him in the summer.


Press Conference


You are now six points ahead of second-placed Bayern München. How does it feel and can you keep up the good results?

It's really nice and it feels great to be first in the league in my second season at this club and I'm sure we will continue to play good and beautiful football to take important points. I have done really good job in this club and I think the players are really professional and a joy to work with.


What is your opinion on your away win which you took from Spartak in the Champions League?

It was a good game and we didn't give up after that terrible and lucky goal they scored. We scored three important away goals which are really important and I really think we will advance to the quarter finals.


What is it like to play in the Champions League compared to playing in the Europa League with Ludogorets?

Well, it's not me who is playing but the atmosphere is a lot better and greater and it's an amazing feeling to hear the Champions League anthem. The players and the teams are best in the world and the fans are great.


You have replaced Lustenberger, the captain, with your new signing Matthias Ginter in the starting eleven. What lead to that decision?

Matthias needs to play and he has room to improve. He's really talented and he will be one of the best defenders in the following years. Fabian (Lustenberger) missed half of the season and he isn't the youngest of players. He reacted really professionally and calmly to being dropped on the bench.


You received international management offers from Venezuela and Brazil, didn't you?

Yes I did and like I have said many, many times I'm completely focused on Hertha and I will not accept any job offers.

Bayer Leverkusen 2 - 4 Hertha BSC
Martinez 3', 39'
Lacazette 6', 17', 43' pen, Diekmeier 22'

Hertha BSC took their second victory from Bayer Leverkusen in a game that was horrific defensively. Jackson Martinez started the game well in the 3rd minute with a header to put his team in the lead. Only three minutes later Alexandre Lacazette ran through the pitch from kickoff, cut in and curled the ball past Leno in goal. A couple minutes later Dennis Diekmeier ran in the box and smashed the ball past Leno in the top net. Ten minutes later Lacazette scored a similar goal to his first to put Hertha in the lead. In the 39th minute Martinez equalised with another header but about five minutes later Lacazette completed his hattrick from the penalty spot.

Hrgota 39' pen

Hertha BSC managed to beat their rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach for the first time since Ganchev took over. The game between these two top teams was once again tough. The superstriker Lacazette continued his amazing form and he scored the first goal in the 33th minute after a counter attack. The lead didn't last long as Hrgota equalised from the penalty spot only six minutes later. The last goal was scored right before the hour mark from another penalty which Lacazette shot in the top left corner past Sommer who dived the right way.


Champions League Quarter Final
Hertha BSC 2 - 1 Real Madrid
Calhanoglu 36', Lacazette 40'
Bale 33'

Hertha BSC were drawn against no other than the Spanish giants and the holding champions, Real Madrid. The White's were and still are the favourites for going through but Hertha showed real quality and they played well. All of the goals were scored in the span of seven minutes. Gareth Bale opened the scoring in the 33th minute when he got in the box through the middle. The winger then shot the ball to the bottom left corner with his right foot. The lead didn't last long as Calhanoglu equalised only three minutes later. The attacking midfielder dribbled at the edge of the box before sprinting in it. Then he unleashed a powerful shot which flew right in the top right corner. Four minutes later Alexandre Lacazette got the winner after a succesful counter attack to secure an advantage for the second leg.

Player of the Month



Alexandre Lacazette

It is becoming a routine to give the award to the really talented striker. He has been on fire since the beginning of the season and there are no signs of him slowing down. Lacazette continues to shine and to score and he is the main goal threat.


Press Conference


You have increased your lead to nine points and there are six games left. Can you win the title?

Yes, we can. I'm absolutely sure that we will win the league this season. After so much hard work and so good performances I think we deserve it. We don't have really tough games left except for Dortmund and Wolfsburg but I'm sure those two matches won't decide the league.


The draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League seemed terrible but you beat them. Was that just luck?

No, not at all! We just played really well and our finishing was brilliant. The guys played like a real team and they were amazing. That was the exact kind of football I want us to play. We even had more possession than Real Madrid and we will continue to perform this way.


So you think you will advance to the semi finals?

I haven't said that but we have a big chance. We have the lead and they lost their star striker Agüero for three months because of an injury. It will be really hard at the Bernabeu in front of the 85.000 fans and Real will do everything to win but we will do our best. We will play our game and we will not just sit there and defend our lead.


What do you think of Lacazette's form lately?

Lately?! He has been playing like this since August but it has been absolutely wonderful! I'm really glad we got him in the summer. He performs always amazingly and I can't imagine selling him in the tranfer window. Alex is an amazing player and he deserves all of the attention he is getting.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

See you typed...nvm actually.

Actually on topic, is that Berardis first goal?

And why is Lacazette such a beast, whats going on. I`ve used him in FIFA this year and was not too impressed, how is he that good for you? :O

Go on, finish the sentence... I dare you.

That was not Berardi's first goal. That was his third, I think. Second or third, one of those two.

Lacazette probably fits my playing style more than yours and he's amazing for me. I like to counter attack and play through balls through the middle and I like to fake shot, chop and do step overs which work well with Lacazette. He is always in the right place and his finishing is really good. On top of that he can score from kickoff with his good dribbling and pace.

Month of November - Unhappy Toffees

GAMES
Everton FC 1-1 Swansea

22' Jefferson Montero (SWA)
33' Ross Barkley (EVE)

After a good Carling Cup performance, Everton had to face one of the tougher teams in the league, Swansea City. Luckily they had the pleasure to play infront of their home fans.

The first goal though came from the away team, as a through-ball towards Jefferson Montero made the game 1-0. A little over 10 minutes later, Ross Barkley managed to score back.

After this, the game was rather dull. Neither team had many chances, so the game ended 1-1, with both teams taking a point, yet neither of them really happy about it.

Everton FC 5-1 FC Luzern

7' Romelu Lukaku (EVE)
21' Marco Scheneuwly (LUZ)
33' (OG) (LUZ)
45' Seamus Coleman (EVE)
69' Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (EVE)
85' Danny Ings

Everton got to stay at Goodison and to get revenge. The team that defeated them earlier in the Europa league, now had to face them again. And this time, Everton meant business.

A early goal from the big, bad Romelu Lukaku made the other team shiver, but Luzern didn`t give up, as a few minutes later, they had a reply of their own.

Then, from an Everton cross, they conceded an own-goal, and with Seamus Coleman scoring just before half-time, things were looking bad for the visitors.

Everton did not let go of the throttle, and scored another two. The game finshed a dominating performance 5-1, and the fans had a reason to be happy.

Burnley 1-2 Everton

38' Samuel Eto'o (EVE)
75' Ashley Barnes (BRN)
77' Ross Barkley (EVE)

After a complete smashing, the Toffees took a trip to face Burnley. While everybody hoped for a easy game for Everton, it certainly was not so.

Burnley was constantly pressuring Everton, hitting the post twice. However, the first scorer was still Samuel Eto'o. Some individual skill to get past his man and some luck gave them the lead.

Ashley Barnes did get to score it back, but Burnley couldn´t keep the tie. Ross Barkley showed some magic and went past the defense with ease to quickly reply and retake the lead.

Burnley couldn´t score back, meaning Everton would take another win, improving their spot in the Premier league.

Everton 0-1 West Ham United

41' Andy Carroll (WHU)

Feeling confident going back home, the Toffees were happy to face West Ham United. That being said, they were not happy for long.

Everton played poor, they couldn`t get their game going. It didn´t take long for West Ham to score, as a long-shot from Zarate hits the crossbar, the shot bounces infront of enormous Andy Carroll who made the score 1-0.

Surprising the score line finished 1-0. West Ham was all over the home team, the fans were not happy, as it really was a game against a team they should have beaten.

Sunderland 1-1 Everton

68' Samuel Eto'o (EVE)
89' Adam Johnson (SUN)

The Toffees couldn`t stay home, as one of the worst teams of the league was waiting for them. It was Sunderland. After firing Gus Poyet, Sunderland didn`t look any better at all.

And it was Everton and big Eto'o to score first. Everton looked comfortable the whole time, yet something amazing happened.

A late minute corner for Sunderland turns into a goal, as the ball falls infront of Adam Johnson, who makes the game 1-1. The crowd went wild. A late chance was given to Barkley, who did score, yet the goal was called offside.

Making the fans yet more unhappier, the game ended 1-1, with Everton really needing to find their momentum, as the next opponent was not going to be any easier to play against.

Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 Everton

50' Christian Eriksen (TOT)
54' Paulinho (TOT)
85' Steven Naismith (EVE)

The team placing sixth, really fighting for the CL spots, was Evertons' next opponent. Both Pochettino and Neville were happy before the game, but they both knew the game was going to be difficult.

It was a real close game for the first half, yet neither side could actually get the upper hand. However, it took Tottenham 4 minutes to take a 2-0 lead and kill the mood completely. White Hart Lane was a riot, the fans were loving it. Everton - not so much.

A late goal from Naismith did supply some hope, yet it was not enough, as the game ended 2-1, with another disappointing result for the Toffees.

Europa League table

4. Lech Poznan -- 4 points

-----
10. Everton -- 17 points
-----
18. Sunderland -- 8 points
19. Leicester City -- 8 points
20. Hull City -- 5 points

----

Not the greatest of months, I have to admit. The top spots are looking further away but are still early in. I hope we can find some momentum in these next few months to actually grab that 4-5 spot. One can wish.

Atleast we are doing well in the Europa league after that first loss. I am confident we are going to go on from the group as the winners of the group.

Also, I know there is time untill the next transfer window, but I would like to ask for some players to sign. At the moment, the priority to sign is like this:

1.Centre Back(First Team Quality, to replace Distin in the near future and lead Stones)
2.Left Midfielder(Only have one proper one, who is Atsu, who is also a loanee. Oxlade does play a lot there, but one more in that position, who could come off the bench and be impactful, that would be great.)
3.A CAM(A younger one wouldn´t be too bad, one who would be good for the future and could play a different spot aswell.)
