#66111 Around The World II
alilane4
So that's 2 games in a row I've dominated, had more possession & more shots and still lost. I need to buy a striker...oh wait.
Definitely writing this campaign off. Luckily my board are still okay with all of this, they just don't want me to come last.
Next fixtures are Spain & Ireland. Balls.

Wow!
I may have put out a reserve team with Serbia in mind. I did not expect this to happen however.
This highlights the lack of depth within Hungary, we have a total of 30-40 players to chose from so naming a 26 man squad can be difficult.
I shall write this campaign off as utter tripe and focus on my newgens, of which I have 6

That's a bit more like it at least we now have 3 points on the board. Next up the Luxembourg, Serbia double header, two wins there and we're back in the game.

So after about 7-8 very successful games it only takes 3 losses, admittedly in a row, to dump me straight back down.
Aug 2008: 14th
Nov 2008: 78th
So I've now seen it all, the biggest rise I've ever seen followed by the biggest drop I've ever seen. I am happy I spend 1 year in the 20-60 bracket.

Damn. This really has gone very wrong very fat. Problem is I have to wait 6 holiday months to try and resolve this. I am hoping it's just class of opponents and not a demise of my own team.
I had a Friendly against Brazil but canceled it as I couldn't handle 4 defeats in a row and it seemed like a morale drainer.

Second game went a little better actually, we made a few chances but couldn't convert and got punished by a 2008 Fernando Torres. So next up is Ireland away and if I lose that then I am up a certain creek.

Rollocks!
Well that was possibly the worst start I could have had. I now need a result against Spain to kick off my campaign.

Looks fairly standard and I have the Euro 2008 runners up in my Wotld Cup qualifying group, first game coming up soon. Serbia.

So my rankings have continued to rise despite not playing a single game all year! I'm up to 14th somehow, which is worrying as it doesn't represent my current squad at all.
However I am hoping I can stay there as my newgens coming through will be better.

World Cup groups drawn and I've got a toughie. Spain are OK as long as they beat everyone else in the group. Then it's a slog between Serbia, Ireland & Me. Of which I'm 3rd favourite. So overall I'm looking at 4th as a minimum and 2nd as a dream.
The other sticking point is my fixture list. I have:
Serbia (away)
Spain (home)
Ireland (away)
3 losses from that and it'll be very hard to come back. If i can get a good run going into the 2 easier fixtures & Serbia at home then I may have a chance.

I drew, but thanks for the comment

Well that was a shock. We have just beaten the reigning European Championships holders!
This win means,
I don't think I've ever seen a ranking rise like this in my experience. It's god for potential newgens in the future.

Stepped over that banana skin. A very solid win which we should have scored more and conceded less. Next up is the all important game against table-topping Greece. If we lose we could actually finish 5th, we win we finish 3rd. A little too close for me.
Bosnia play Turkey
Norway play Malta

We seem to be on a good run at the moment, only been beaten once so far.
So the picture looks good. I still have to play Greece and Moldova but I am pretty assured of 5th unless Malta stage something remarkable. If i beat Moldova & Bosnia lose to Turkey then I am assured of at least 4th. It's going to be tough to beat Norway as still have to play Malta which they should win.
There's allot of variables in this one and it will be tough but 3rd has to be the aim.

Another good point made, and away too. To be honest the game was very even and I thought for the life of me I was going to lose until Buzsaky fired in a long range shot to surprise even me! Turkey were 1-10 to win this game so to get a point is a massive bonus.

It was allot more one-sided than the score line suggested. Just check the match stats to see that we dominated them.
This win is crucial to nothing else but our World Rankings. Winning against teams around us will mean we can overtake them in the rankings and get a better draw next quail.

KIU guys, close to promotion.

I have to be pleased seeing as Norway were very strong favourites for this one. It's an unexpected point picked up as I was concentrating on the Bosnia, Malta & Moldova games to pick up the necessary points for 4th.
Up next IS the biggest game in the group for me, Bosnia. A win here will be huge. A loss and I may have to kiss goodbye to my 4th dream.

Good luck, i'll be following this one.

We put up a great fight but in the end lost out due to a disallowed goal when losing 1-2. Had that have counted then at 2-2 we looked quite good, however they went down the other end and made it 1-3 and that was game over.
I am very pleased with the possession however. Also note that we seem to draw in more fouls and have a very good passing percentage.
I've dropped back down to 6th again. Next up Norway.

A good idea and I remember reading the one done a few years ago.
kiu, and good luck.

Good to see you're so successful too.
