John Green's stories taught me to love Soccer. I really knew nothing about the sport prior to FIFA11. Thank you, John Green, for giving me a new hobby.

You know, watching this whole episode, I feel like a player. I feel like I'm partially responsible for the apology John makes at the end. I feel like I need to train and improve so that I don't let down my supporters, and equally importantly, my coach. I'm sorry, John. We'll do better.

John's stories have made me so emotionally invested in this team, before I would just listen to it but now I watch these games so closely because I'm rooting the the players. I guess that just means John's very good at his job :)

Stories about Henry are just amazingly cute. These videos always make my day. Always. John, take it down a skill level. Give yourself a break. Signing psychosis is clearly taking its toll on your playing. Take it easy. It's not right when you sound so sad and dejected.

I am an Edmonton Oilers fan (NHL). Coming off from the high of the 80s Gretzky-Messier years, we enjoyed fair success in the 90s and even a Cup run (unsuccessful) in 2006. Since then, my beloved Oil have been struggling to even make it to the playoffs, even coming in last place in the entire league a couple years ago.The last year or so has seen changes in the upper echelons as well as cultivation of young players rising to the challenge. Things are changing for my Oil and they will here too!

I started watching The Miracle of Swindon Town for John's stories but I've slowly become more invested in the success of the club. I've got high hopes for us knowing we have a stellar crew of guys invested in the game and one of the best managers in the system. The miracle is in sight! DFTBA everyone :)

John should get a players named Henry/Hank Green. Imagine how great son/father playing with each other. And we STILL need an Other John Green story! Also, when a player is coming back from injury, it's better to sub him on in the second half, since the last minutes of a game are always the most important. Through balls are tough to get a hang of, but when you do, they're more often than not the game winners. Lastly, you're playing Sampdoria AWAY from home. It was never going to be an easy match.

Try using a "Finesse shot" by pressing RB + B Also use the one-two pass by pressing LB + X, the player who made the first pass will make a forward run. Then you can use a through ball or lobbed through ball (LB + Y) to pick him out in space.

I've just realized Henry and Rocktard from the shaytards family are only 4 months apart. But why is it that Henry knows so many more words than Rocktard does? It's interesting how human development works. Oh and I totally think Henry and Rocktard should have a play date sometime. That would be really fun to see.

Clear the ball, John. When you're in the 18 yard box, kick the ball very far away. You could have prevented that goal and the only way to prevent that in the future is to learn from your mistakes and start clearing the ball.

Advice. i've noticed that in your defensive rebound control you make nervous quick passes that six times out of ten* lead to a turnover and thus a scoring oppurtunity, you could try gaining space from the opponents by running to your wings and then start your break out. Apologies for the use of hockey terms rather than football terms. *all stats are not 100% accurate, aside from this stat.
