Richmond ‘Til We Die

I finally got around to trying out Dice United 2, continuing the simulated replay of Ted Lasso’s AFC Richmond and their 2020-21 campaign in the Champions League.

I played 3 games today (5 total games) and the Greyhounds are currently undefeated at 3-0-2 with 11 points overall.

Unlike the actual show, Richmond has a better record at the start of the season (less ties) and they have Jamie Tartt playing for them from the start.

The game seems to play a little smoother than before, with the tweaks and changes helping gameplay.

I played on my newly printed Sci Fi themed game table.

I hope to continue this replay more often.

And the sci fi table will be used for most of my sports gaming from here on out, which may contribute to me playing games more often.

Stay tuned!

2020: Ted Lasso Finale Replay

I picked up a new copy of Soccer Blast, and the first match I played was the final game of the fictional 2020 Premier League season as shown in the finale of Ted Lasso Season 1.

Final from Nelson Road Stadium:

RIC 1 – 1 MCI

46′ – RIC – Rojas (PK)
88′ – MCI – Tartt

AFC Richmond ties Manchester City, which allows the Greyhounds to stay in the Premier League instead of relegation to the Champions League!

Better result that the other fictional result, sure, and I wonder what Season 2 would have been like with this ending?
