Athenayama 996 Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Bench World Cup Finals: BWCF Match 5:Kotononami (Argentina) vs Chijanofuji (Netherlands)Refioji – Athenayama What a beautiful fnal we have ! Two players who definitely deserve to be here, respectively the 3rd (tied) and the 2nd best attack of the competition. Good luck to both ! The others just enjoy the show. Kotononami : 1. Argentina (R) (1st), 2. France (S1) (2nd), 3. France (S1) (ET), 4. Argentina (ET), 5. France (S1) (1st), 6. Argentina (2nd) Comment : Let's go all out with my (R) team at first slot. Good luck to my opponent. And thanks again to Jejima and all Refiojis for all the work and animation of the game. Chijanofuji : 1. Argentina (S1) [2nd], 2. Argentina (S1) [1st], 3. Argentina (S1) [ET], 4. France [1st], 5. France [ET], 6. France [2nd], 7. Morocco [1st], 8. Morocco [2nd], 9. Morocco [ET]Comment: Wow! The Bench World Cup finals! While I'm still stunned by making it this far, I've recovered enough to already have been furiously contemplating my strategy for the past few days. Will my honorable aite Kotononami support his (R) team Argentina in the final as well or go for his home country? In the end I've opted to support Argentina and must now hope Messi and his teammates pull through for me! Ganbarimasu! Refioji comment : I was ready to list you all the possible scenarios but Kotononami has mixed his line up so well that it is almost impossible to predict anything. The only we could say is that he took a big chance putting his (R) on the first line. That is to say if Argentina don't win the first half Kotononami will need a miracle and will be on a highway to Hell. On the other hand if they do win the 1st half then it might be a highway to Heaven ! Edited December 17, 2022 by Athenayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nekonishiki Banji 371 Posted December 18, 2022 Refioji Nekonishiki – Bench World Plate Final Kimyama 0-1 Andonishiki The real match goes to extra time (and penalties), but with loss of Argentina in the 2nd half, Kimyama’s chain is broken already in Slot #1. Andonishiki has a real goal scored, but there was no chance to reach the second one. But who cares, Andonishiki wins the 2022 Bench World Plate, omedetou.

Athenayama 996 Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Bench World Cup Finals: BWCF Match 5:Kotononami (Argentina) vs Chijanofuji (Netherlands) First of all let's say that we saw an extraordinary World Cup final, one of the best ever if not the best. Too bad there had to be a winner. Two of the current best players on the planet had an epic battle similar to 2 Yokozuna in a playoff bout with 14-0 record. Now to our Bench World Cup ! As we said Kotononami took a big chance with his (R) on the first line. That risk paid off as Argentina won the first half! Our French friend was sure to score, we needed to see how Chijanofuji could survive this deadly strike. Unfortunately for him, as France woke up in the second half his chain was broken right from the start. Hence Kotononami scored 2 goals and is our NEW BENCH WORLD CUP CHAMPION ! ! Congratulations to both players who had a great tournament. Here also, too bad there had to be a winner. Kotononami Goal H Chain H Goal A Chain A Chijanofuji 1.

Kotononami 86 Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Mixed emotions , sad for my country but happy with Messi 's greatest achievement. One of the best World Cup match I've ever seen , same level as Italy-Brazil 82, Argentina-England 86 , Brazil-France 86 ans some others... The most legendary match will remain forever France-RFA 82 in Sevilla. So nice that I won the bench world cup , my (R) team Argentina helped me a lot in the game. Congrats to my opponent and all the winners. Tonight I have a special thought for my favorite football player ever , Diego Armando Maradona , who made dream the child that I was.

Ganzohnesushi @Kotononami Please stop signing comments with my Shikona as this is a wrong statment. The best and most legendary WC match was the semi-final between ITA and GER in Mexico 1970, 4-3 after ET for Italy. Not for nothing it is called the "century game". FRA-GER from 1982 comes in as no. 2 only. I'll never forget the grimace of Alain Giresse when he scored the 3-1 for France... Klaus Fischer's bicycle-kick to make it 3-3 surely is one of the best goals in WC history. And... Congrats for winning the BWCF. Well done.

Athenayama 996 Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) As regarding the 1970 Italy-Germany it was mostly the Extra time that was legendary not really the regular time .

Yarimotsu 548 Posted December 19, 2022 Thanks for playing all, it was a lot of fun. Very happy to have earned a bronze medal despite R and C teams that went nowhere and less than 50 matches of pro soccer watched in my life. Hopefully I can translate this strategic success into more sumo games in the future. Congratulations to Argentina, the team who beat me when it mattered most. And the refiojis deserve a special shout-out for putting up with all of us. Perhaps I will join you in a future competition, now I know the rules well enough. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
