I LOST A PVP MATCH DUE TO NETWORK TODAYš¤¦ā¹ļøš

Man Iām still vexed about that 2:0 loss š” because deep down I know I didnāt deserve to lose that match at all. The moment the game loaded I saw the warning signs everywhere. My own network bar was stuck on 1 and it kept flickering red, while my opponentās own was showing 3 to 4 bars solid green. Thatās when I knew I was in trouble. I still went in though because I wanted to play, I had Gerrard in midfield, Yamal on the wing, Rooney up top, the whole setup was ready. But from the first 5 minutes it felt like I wasnāt even in control of my own team. Every pass I tapped would take forever to come out, like my players were thinking about it first before kicking the ball.
The delay was killing me the entire first half. I would see the space, I would see the run, I tap through ball or pass, and then nothing would happen for like 2 seconds. By the time the ball finally left my playerās foot, the opponent had already closed down and intercepted. It happened over and over. I remember around 24th minute I had a perfect chance to break with Rooney, I pressed pass to Gerrard to switch play, but the lag made the ball roll straight to their midfielder and they started a counter. I was spamming tackle and dash and pressure but my defenders were responding late like they were underwater. You can even see it in the video, my players look normal but everything is just half a second behind. And to make it worse the screen went black twice, at 24:14 and 30:30, just froze completely and came back. Thatās not football anymore, thatās just suffering.
Then the goals came and honestly there was nothing I could do. The first one around the 30th minute, I saw the attack building, I quickly tried to switch to my CB and press clear, but because of the lag the command didnāt register until after they had already shot. The ball just went in and the score changed to 1:0 like that. I was shouting at my phone like bro I pressed it. The second goal was even more painful. I had numbers back, I was trying to use match-up to track their winger, but again the delay made my defender stand still for one second too long and he cut inside and finished. 2:0. And itās not like I was playing bad, I was creating chances, I was keeping possession when the game allowed me, but the network made every decision 1 second late. When your bar is 1 and his is 4 itās not a fair match, itās just lag vs skill.
What hurt me most is that I know the kind of football I play. I like to build from the back, quick one-twos, through balls behind the defense. But with that kind of network you canāt do any of that. Every time I tried to play out from defense the pass would get cut because it came out late. Every time I tried to shoot the button would register late and the keeper would already be set. I was literally watching the game happen before my inputs would catch up. My opponent didnāt even have to be that good, he just had to wait for my game to freeze and then punish me. Thatās not winning, thatās just having better internet. I had better chances, better players, better ideas, but none of it mattered because the connection decided the game for me.
At the end I just accepted the 2:0 and closed the app because there was no point forcing it. Losing is part of eFootball but losing like this because of network is the most frustrating thing ever. You spend time grinding, you get legends like Beckham and Carlos, you practice your timing, then one bar of network comes and deletes all of it. Iām not even mad at the opponent, Iām mad at the situation. Next time Iām checking my bars before I queue. If itās not at least 3 bars Iām not playing ranked. This match was taken from me by lag, not by skill, and thatās why Iām still vexed till now.
