#67083 West Ham United - Promoted, Broke & Average!
alilane4
Looks like you have a bit of cash now too.
#67073 Around The World II

Interesting. Not interested.
I had to think long and hard about this offer. They have a better team than me, and a worse rating so there's room for improvement. However they have less players than me, not enough defenders and also the average age is allot higher.
Offer rejected although pleased to have the opportunity to reject.

So got the group through and, as ever, I am gonna be embroiled in a battle for the 'also-rans' in the group. I should come ahead of Faroe Islands and Lithuania so a battle between me and Scotland for 3rd looks most likely. If I can get in to 3rd my rating should take a bit of a boost.
#67064 Around The World II

Kind of sums up how the last part of our qualifying wnet, we lost momentum and fell through the floor. A coupe more wins and we would've been looking at 3rd in the group and a higher rating.
The overall confidence is good, however I do feel I can't be sacked which I'm not too happy about. There's no pressure with the job.
#67061 Around The World II

Inevitable really.
Belarus won against N. Ireland to relegate us to 5th.
On the whole a much more competitive qualifying campaign, still didn't make it but we're looking a bit better and I'm hoping my new staff may be able to pull some performance out of my players.
#67056 Around The World II

Hleb you bellend! Had we held on for the win 4th would have definitely been ours, as it stands we have a very good looking Norway (away) and Belarus have N. Ireland (home)
If I come 5th in this group it will be another campaign of lost chances.
#67050 Around The World II

So with that last defeat to Portugal & Croatia (not shown, lost 0-1) I can now not qualify and therefore have booked my summer holiday for the 3rd time.
I have 2 games left and am stuck in an almighty battle with Croatia & Belarus. A win against Belarus, up next, and I finish least 4th.

Oh and before I forget here's how World Cup 2010 turned out.
Germany won on penalties.
#67047 Around The World II

So after a little research and a one word answer tweet from Miles Jacobson I decided to add to my staff of two (me & ass-man Nagy)
I have brought in some real quality, everyone has 20's for at least one specific coaching attribute.
I set Nagy to my U19 manager to free up the ass-man spot, then signed Meulensteen as he's a bit of a beast.
I am not overly sure how much of an effect this may have on my future campaigns, but I am hoping it will aid me in the long run.
#67039 Around The World II

So the Portuguese have done it again, they've left it late and beat me by the single goal. They have taken 6 points off us when we deserved 2 draws. It's games like these, where we having held on for valuable points, that seem to have harmed our campaign.
Still got a few games left but our form has been a little dire.

Does employing international coaches, of which I had none, effect the national team at all?
Obviously I can't implement training but I am hoping it has some sort of positive influence.
I am really hoping it's just not one of those features that's purely cosmetic.
#67014 Alt for Norge

#66883 Around The World II

That good and the bad of the Hungary National Football Team. A little annoyed at the Norway game as we're normally better at home.
It's looking unlikely for us to qualify now as Norway are on fire and taking points off of all the other teams and we're beginning to falter.
#66873 Around The World II

So here comes the inconsistent patch that has plagued our last few campaigns. I hope it's just a blip. Northern Ireland and Norway up next, if I fail in those it's game over.
#66859 Around The World II
alilane4
Wow, now that I didn't see. The reason? We kept things tight at the back and scored from 4 corners, yeh 4!! Hardly even scored a corner before this game, then get 4 in one game. Not moaning!
Not used to this! Unfortunately I have a few very tricky games coming up and we've never been the best at maintaining good form.
#66847 Around The World II
alilane4
A simpler win I will never have.
I may have cut the screensheet short but I can report that their winning goal was in fact one of the last kicks of the game. Utterly gutting as that point would have been a real bonus.
#66826 Around The World II

The other is this guy...
I think this is the best way to show the predicament I am in. I am breaking even on players as I think the game is not producing enough Hungarian newgens and when I am they are not good enough.
First Euro 2012 Quali game
A great win, probably the best start we could have hoped for and it damages a direct rival.
#66820 Around The World II

After the World Cup (will get a SS up soon) I applied for France, Argentina & Brazil just to test the water. However as my reputation was set to "automatic" and as I haven't exactly set the footballing world alight I wasn't confident.
However I forgot that I set my second nationality to Brazilian, therefore I have been offered this...
#66818 Around The World II

The group for the European Championships 2012 qualifying have been drawn.
I have to say I am saving real thoughts on this group until we get underway but below are my initial thought.
Portugal are clear favourites.
Croatia should come 2nd
Me, Belarus, Norway & N. ireland might be involved in a monumental scrap for 3rd.
Andorra are shit.

#66803 Around The World II

Yeh they're all the same as me, the problem is there's a bunch of us who aren't consistent and therefore a single win has a big effect.
Also the fact that different continents play at different times doesn't help.
#66324 Around The World II
alilane4
So here's the two things that worry me.
1: Confidence. My board cannot feasibly be that pleased with what's just happened, we lost our firs three games, lost to Luxembourg and were 2 poor games away from finishing bottom. Also my position would have at least been under a mini review after the poor run of 1 win in 5.
2: Rankings. Now I know they are probably done exactly how they are in real life. However I still don't like how I they can fluctuate so much. I guess being Hungary will mean this fluctuate to continue for a while.
#66322 Around The World II

So I got two wins to end the campaign on a higher note, however the opening 3 losses and the loss to Luxembourg were unacceptable.
Avoided the dreaded wooden spoon but the gap between me and the top three is an issue we need to sort. Next quali draw will be for Euro 2012.

All leagues are set to 'view only' apart from England.
However the Hungarian league has no real players!!! So I have very little to work with.
#66310 Around The World II
alilane4
So here's how things stand in the group.
These two remaining games are actually a scrap for the bottom 3 places, if I do manage to lose these games, by enough goals, I could technically finish bottom. Not good.
#66302 Around The World II
alilane4
My god we needed that! Means little for me in the group but seriously dents Ireland's chances.
I now have the "formalities" of Luxembourg & Lithuania, and then another summer of nothingness.
#66294 Around The World II
alilane4
Not too shabby! I know I have just said that to a loss, but we had them in the first half and matched them in the second, difference was their finishing.
Next up Ireland and I need a win there to save this campaign from being a complete disaster.
