Thinking of sending out trivia questions in PMs that, if answered correctly, will grant stat upgrades and possibly other advantages like first choice penalty taker. Would you guys like that or would you prefer to keep it the way it is now?

West Ham vs 1FF FC - Premier League

Spoiler

7': Antonio is through on goal but Armstrong makes a great save.
17': GOAL! Di Creggio crosses it in, Ameobi has a shot but wildly mishits is, and HeungCod finishes it with a powerful overhead kick!
26': GOAL. Antonio finds a gap between Juste and Valderrama and shoots. Armstrong should have saved it but he does the thing Joe Hart did against Iceland. 1-1.
31': GOAL! Shelvey's corner evades the West Ham defenders and finds Stagattuso, who controls the ball and slots it into the net.
40': Buscamonte-Poppleton passes to Ianesta, whose 20 yard effort is just over.
62': PENALTY. Juste slides into Arnautovic from behind in the box. Red card and a penalty.
62': GOAL. Anticipating a shot down the middle, Armstrong decides not to dive. The penalty goes DIRECTLY OVER HIM and into the net. One of the most frustrating Armstrong moments so far.
64': Maguire replaces di Creggio.
65': Valderrama is booked for a foul on Arnautovic.
69': GOAL! Shelvey's corner goes to Ameobi, who smashes a header past the goalkeeper! 3-2.
76': Ogbonna scores (thanks to Armstrong) but he's offside.
82': Kouyate shoves Buscamonte-Poppleton in the box but no foul is given.
90': Fulltime.

1FF FC vs Tottenham - Premier League

Spoiler

7': GOAL. Kane is played through and passes it over Armstrong.
21': Lloris makes a great save to deny Ameobi, who was through on goal.
28': GOAL. Kane's average finish and Armstrong's lack of height combine to make it 2-0.
37': GOAL. A good piece of play and a great finish by Eriksen makes it 3-0.
45': Danny Rose (not our one) is sent off for a tackle from behind on Shelvey.
45': Change from a 3-6-1 to a 3-4-2-1.

68': GOAL! HeungCod plays a good pass through the disorganized Spurs defense to Shelvey, who slots it past the goalkeeper from a tight angle.
75': Di Creggio's shot is saved by Lloris. HeungCod is brutally tackled from behind while attempting to head the ball into the empty net, but the (clearly biased) ref says no pen.
89': Ianesta is booked for a tackle on Wanyama.
90': GOAL! HeungCod plays a one-two with Shelvey and produces a nice finish to make it 3-2.
90': Too little (pun intended, Benji), too late.

15': SAVE! Armstrong guesses right!
Fun fact: Brayden Armstrong has made more saves this match (1) than he did in over 90 minutes against Tottenham (0).

28': Barnes hits the crossbar.
45': Shelvey does well to get past Mee, but his close range shot is just wide.

70': Maguire comes on for Stagattuso.
74': GOAL. Armstrong watches helplessly as Defour's shot hits the crossbar, then continues to watch helplessly as Barnes heads it over him and in.
90': GOAL! Di Creggio plays a brilliant through ball to HeungCod, whose shot is blocked by Pope. It hits Ameobi's thigh, bounces up, and is headed in to make it 2-1. Basically sums up his season so far.
