Hey guys,
My name is Alin, a 24th years old romanian dude that enjoyes the FM series. My story starts in March 2008, when, in one of my cranky days at the office, i took a little break to check my personal e-mail. To my surprise, i have received an invitation to be a beta tester of this game. From then, i enjoyed the upsets and the success of my beta test team: Rapid Team, in GW2 - To Madeira.
With Rapid Team, i have succeeded to end the GW 5th in the World Rankings. It was something great for me, because i've started to play in GW2 6 months after the launch. So, i was behind everyone with everything : skills, training, players etc.
A couple of weeks ago, i've started a new journey with a new team, in one of the paid GW, Lineker. My new team name is FC Tiki Taka. Why did i choosed this name? It's simple: The European Football Cup, most exactly the champions: Spain. Tiki-taka is apparently a Spanish nonsense phrase to describe how Spain plays, with lots of fast, crackling short passes. To me, that was the most impressive aspect of the new Euro champions, and I hope it's an inspiration to every FML club everywhere.
I hope i will find the time to update often this FML blog and that each one of you will enjoy it.

Tiki-taka is a phrase used (to death) by a commentator called Andrés Montes during the last world cup. His channel (la Sexta) was a relatively new channel and they were using the World Cup as a way to increase viewership. Montes was much better known for doing NBA commentary late at night. He has a very particular style, including bow-tie, shaven head and a real motor-mouth commentary with lots of shouting and little funny phrases. He would use tiki-taka to mean "good football" or "touch football", with entertaining quick passing. Most people either love him or cannot stand him.
El tiki-taka arrolla = stylish football wins the day
...but I would say that this is a translation from "Montes-speak" rather than Spanish...
