Hattrick-SA

You wake up early Sunday morning, and you immediatly go to your PC. The big match that you’ve been waiting for has finally come. You’ve been preparing the whole season, just to have it finally come to this. The game which will decide if you going end up first in your series or not - You really want to win the series and get that promotion (Not to mention the money)

You log in, and the game is already gone for 80 minutes - O boy, the scoreline is even 1 all. Suddenly, one of your forward makes a move towards the goal, it’s looking good, but he misses. Oh No !!! only 5 minutes left. You start pacing, this can’t be happening - this was supposed to be a sure win. And then out of the blue, you get the ball again, and your midfielder rushes to the goal, past the defence and he shoots….. It’s in…. 2-1… You made it. The Prep work has paid off… You’re going to be promoted.

This is the type of excitement that happens pretty often in Hattrick, which is a free online Football (Soccer) Management game, that allows you to manage a Football Team.

Hattrick Free Online Football Management Game

Currently South-Africa is trying to qualify for the World Cup in Hattrick, a free online game. To be able to this SA needs to win the next 2 games. The one game is almost a certain win, but the Big Game that SA has to win is against France this weekend.

South-Africa does stand a chance to beat France, but the question is how ? We will see if the SA National Team Manager, Rondell-Beene, can pull a Rabit out of the Hat.

If you’d like to watch the game(live), log onto Hattrick on 8/5/2005 at 20.00, and watch one of the biggest games of the Season, online.

South Africa only managed a tie against France in the Hattrick Online Game World Cup qualifier this weekend.

It really looked as if they stood a major chance of actually winning it, but France was able to capitilize on a mistake in the 73rd minute, which allowed Sylvain Wahl to score 1 - 2 for France .

After that it was nail biting to the end, where South Africa was finally able to equalize after 86 minutes of play by Deion Pollard.

The scorers for the game were:
1-0 Scottie Dean(SA) (3)
1-1 Alain Guillon(France) (14)
1-2 Sylvain Wahl(France) (73)
2-2 Deion Pollard(SA) (86)

Maybe next time.

These evil little things can sometimes make the game pretty confusing, and you’ll often compare two teams by looking at their star ratings, and be baffled at why you lost against them ’cause you had more stars.

But, there are other things that need to be looked at as well… and this can be read about in Anvir’s column: Anvir wrote a great article on the Star Ratings of players in Hattick: http://htbdf.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=10563
