I have a rather entertaining story that I'd like to share:

So last night I get home from work, prepare some dinner and jump into a quick game before the wife gets home. Three of us get to the jersey select screen and this team of 5 guys just begins to rage. "These are the ******* ******* that just quit on us!" I tell them in a calm, reassuring voice that there are upwards of 40 players on the team and that the EA servers are spotty at best. Any disconnect was most likely bad timing and most certainly not us as we'd just arrived. Judging by the flurry of profanity that followed aimed at myself and my mother, I don't think they really believed me. The verbal beating continued as we entered our game. For some reason they thought I was a homosexual. Frankly I don't think they had enough information about me personally to make this claim, but they seemed pretty damn certain!

Various strategies went through my head about how to best beat this team. Perhaps we could utilize our cpu players to set up some one-timers in the slot? Maybe I could stay back more and force them to make the mistakes? In the end we decided to travel the most satisfying path: we let the game start and all disconnected. It was pretty awesome.
