Armenia started well didn't they! Quality win over Argentina and your new ranking is brilliant too. I'll take £5 on a Euro's semi final appearance please

I'll be happy just to get there, think the semi's are pushing it a lot!

No Bale for the Brazil game and as you'd expect they were alll over us, but a 0-1 defeat is certainly not too bad at all.

Really should have been a few more but just happy to get the 3pts. No surprise they're so bad really considering they only have two players that are not actually grayed out.

Standard defeat to Spain and at least they're out of the way now. Four games left to secure that play off spot.

Great start mate!

Cheers mate, much better than i expected.

Solid win against the Nothern Irish, the down side being injuries to both Bale and Collison with the latter definitely missing the trip to Armenia. In other news Norway smashed Gibraltar 9-0 and are right on our tales with a better goal difference now too.

Another fantastic performance which means we just need to avoid defeat against Norway in our next game to secure that play off spot.

I'm dreading it, the Spain matches showed how weak we really are so could well get a hiding in each match.

Finished on a high against Gibraltar, would have liked a really big win but it wasn't to be.

Also at some point (when holidaying) the draw for the World Cup qualifying happened. Again second place is achievable here, but that's a long way away yet.

We should, but will be harder than the Euro qualifying as there is some tough away games there.

Two hard away games but both ended in respectable results, Ramsey's penalty miss was very disappointing.

Have to be realistic and just try to finish above Greece! I don't see us getting destroyed but we just don't have the fire power up front to cause the bigger sides any problems.

No Bale or Ramsey for this game so a pleasing result, unlucky not to win it in the end.

I actually wish we hadn't qualified, after our warm up matches i can see this tournament being a complete embarrassment.

So we're underway and not surprisingly our first match ended in defeat. But Holland are a very very good side and in all fairness we weren't much worse than them. One piece of good news is that Greece and France drew 1-1, meaning that winning our final two matches will see us through...

Holland beat Greece 2-1, but we still need to beat Greece too to secure second place. Can the miracle happen?

We did it, i don't expect us to get any further as the players are fucked and we don't exactly have a strong squad to choose from. But we've still done magnificently.

Probably the most disappointing result i've had on this FM.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EZGKuI1ts4gAw2qZ0b0Cy33WZmQCFXN1r9aQCliQ.png

So Belgium went on to win the Euro's, they're also the side i face first in World Cup qualifying. Really hoping some unknown talent comes through very soon as there are only a handful of decent players in the squad now, The rest are either the wrong side of 30, not attached to a club or simply really really shit

I've also noticed i've not actually got a contract at the moment so am managing them for free?

World Cup qualifying is underway, was unlucky not to nick a point in Liege where Sam Vokes was on fine form. Was also missing both Bale and Ramsey so who knows what have happened if they were fit. Liechtenstein were no threat and an easy nights work was had. Jordan Evans and Ash Taylor made there debuts.
