Yo @Footygamer! Argentina-Bolivia is wrong!

 

Also shouldn't France-Switzerland be 3-3 or will it be the results after penalties? 

 

 

1. Fußball- und Sportverein Mainz 05 e. V., otherwise known as 1. FSV Mainz 05 is a club based in the Rhineland-Pfalz in Germany. Mainz is a club with minute history, but they were once home to now world-class managers in European football. A club that once held the names of a young Jurgen Klopp and Tomas Tuchel, the managerial talent that has come out of the Die Nullfünfer is impressive amongst German clubs. Despite their recognition of managerial talent, the club performance-wise has barely any significance.



Despite having little very little success, the history of Mainz is one to look through. The club founded in, you guessed it, 1905 in Mainz marks them one of the oldest to be in the current Bundesliga. Boasting success within regional divisions after World War 1, Mainz remained a quiet side, even during Nazi Germany times. The 05ers rise to the Bundesliga was a long but progressive march. Gaining promotion during the tenure of Jurgen Klopp in 2003-04, the club continued a quick climb but soon relegated back to the 2. Bundesliga after the 2006-07 season. Even within their short first stint in the Bundesliga, Fair play rewarded the club to a UEFA Cup in 2005-06.

Upon their promotion back to the Bundesliga in the 2008-09 season, Mainz was quick to take advantage of many things. Mainz equaled the record for the best start in the Bundesliga in the 2010-11 season, winning their first seven matches of the season. With the hot start, the club finished in a lofty 5th place, securing them European football. Since then, Mainz has only qualified for Europe twice, once in 2013-14, and most recently in 2015-16. Describing Mainz as an inconsistent side is accurate, whether it's competing for Europe or fighting for survival.

A club not known for its robust youth academy nor former players, Mainz sits in the weird bubble for a Bundesliga side. Despite it all, Mainz has only a few Europa League appearances to boast for the club, with their motto: "Europa, Wir Kommen," becoming a staple in their attempts to get back to European football.

When it comes to footballing legends for Mainz, only a few names come to mind. In recent memory, Nikolče Noveski, who was a defender at the club for over a decade, is one that fans remember well. The Macedonian has one unfortunate record held to him, and that is tying the most own goals throughout their Bundesliga careers. A player who gave over his time and dedication to returning to Mainz has a unique narrative element to the club. Making a triumphant return, Noveski's reunion with the club is only something that creates excitement for the Mainz supporters.



The journey of making Noveski's status as a club legend permanent, as well as building the Die Nullfünfer to become a powerhouse of German football, begins here.

Good luck with this!

Cheers!

VfL Bochum.

Verein für Leibesübungen Bochum 1848 Fußballgemeinschaft their full name, is a football club based in the city of Bochum, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. Founded in 1848, Bochum is one of the oldest football clubs playing in Germany, having a pause in play during World War II.

Bochum in short, is one of the more successful German clubs, having appeared in Europe twice, and obtaining a few trophies in their cabinet. Being 2nd division champions three times, the last one coming in the 2005-06 season, DFB Pokal finalists twice, qualifying for the former UEFA Cup twice, the last one being in 2003-04.

However, VfL Bochum hasn’t seen Bundesliga football in almost a decade, being relegated in 2009-10.

Refraining from the history of the team, let’s talk about the side, shall we?



Coming to this side, I knew there were some strong areas within the squad, like my wings, I knew with the Australian Robbie Kruse and former Schalke winger Sidney Sam, Hoffenheim loanee Philipp Ochs, my wings were pretty solid for this season.



With my wingers being my best part about the side, my mind regarding our tactical setup was about set for the side. Having a look with my midfield, I knew my numbers were going to be light for the midfield, and with the versatile Hoogland, I’d want to use him as a CB, so I definitely needed to add numbers for my midfield.



Overall, the team is structured quite nicely, only needing some small improvements in areas, apart from my midfield, which needed a big improvement with whom I had at my disposal. Looking into the transfer window, I’m only in need of looking for:

- A young GK
- Young ST
- 2 CDMs
- A CB




With whom I brought in for the summer were good moves, in my book. I changed my prize money down to low, due to my budgets being, extremely low. With using the allocated money received dropping the prize money, have to say, I was surprised myself on my acquiring.




Hamit Altintop was someone I was not expecting to sign, at all. But regardless, who would turn down a player like him? As he agreed to a 2 year deal for a rotation option in my midfield and an easy step in if a starter is hurt.




Franck Kom was also the intention for Altintop. A solid rotation option who can step in when a player is hurt without necessarily dropping quality amongst the starting side.




Murillo is a signing I'm not really, happy with, but I needed a young striker to offer not only depth but youth to a really limited area I have up top. Being 18, I'd guarantee him so playing time during cup games mainly, if not, he'd probably be loaned right out to a side in the 3rd tier or Regionalliga.




Sebastian Boenisch was a move I was very very pleased with. I heavily needed a good CB to run up with along my other starting CB Hoogland, he offers a solid few years for the side.




Tim Otto being 19 offers youth, and various options regarding a bit of youth for my youth, as well as my 3rd choice keeper for the season.




Tactically, deciding on the right tactic for the side didn’t come into many problems, I knew what to run with whom I had at my disposal. A 4-2-3-1 DM Wide. Not really needing to explain why it’s the best, it was a formation I was pretty much I guess, forced into using. With the use of defensive midfielders, they offer me a role I don’t have much experience using, the Segundo Volante. Is it a bit of a risk on using one? Of course, but I can’t say no to using the role.





Regarding the Instructions, Mentality, & Team Shape:

- Standard
I’ve never been fond of other mentalities. I’ve found standard the perfect balance, as it says hovering over it.

- Fluid
I was a bit envious on the team shape, I didn’t know if I wanted to be flexible, remaining structured in tight games, fluid in attack, but I entrusted this side to maintain a fluid shape since I want to have it work with my instructions and my player instructions I have on a few players.

- Pass Into Space
I wanted to use this instruction for one purpose, is my striker Hinterseer. Given his height advantage being 6’4” (193cm) he can easily win the ball in the air and with my wingers, they can easily outmaneuver the defenders to cut inside the box or cross.

- Work Ball Into Box
No-brainer isn’t it? Using IFs, having the instruction is a definite necessity for me with my finishing ability for my whole attack.

- Use Tighter Marking
I normally have this as a go-to instruction, and playing in Germany, you’re basically foreign not marking hard playing tough football.

- Higher Tempo
I overlooked at the side, seeing a lot of high attributes for work rate, teamwork, and stamina. Utilizing higher tempo really can make it hard especially with aggressive pressing sides that I’ll face this season.

- Prevent Short GK Distribution
I see this instruction be overlooked a lot. It’s very useful to prevent time wasting for the opposition to not allow any more opportunities in the latter stages of the game.





Preseason came with a bit of surprise and disappointment. With my first friendly, I had not one, two, but three players go down to injury, which came with a bit of shame, however, I powered through it ending the preseason on a big high, with a 3-3 draw with Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach.







In along going through June and July we also played our first two matches for the 2. Bundesliga season.


Matchday 1 came to a big surprise, putting four goals past a side who’s been in the promotion playoffs in recent seasons, Braunschweig. Seeing the likes of Hinterseer put two past, Kruse assisting two built up a bit load of confidence for the start of the season.




However, heading into MD2 against Erzgebirge Aue, I wasn’t expecting that much of a fight against the East German side. Losing 2-1 with the second goal coming in injury time, I was really frustrated. But, got to move ahead on to the next games coming.



But hey, at least Aue's manager was honest.





Coming to the end of the second matchday, we have something to build with, being early in the season, plenty of time to pull off some big results during the season.

I have actually, but no one's responded. Probably should delete the post if that's possible and post again with everything going on. And now, it's doing this...

I've started new saves and it still does the same thing. It's something with the files that are causing the errors surely.

I have actually, and it does this. If I try to load it, it crashes.


I've cleared cache, and everything, but it doesn't do a thing to it.

This is just my graphics file here.

I've had many issues with the skins, and I've tried every skin I've downloaded, but I still get the same errors. Here's the file.

The thing is though, it's doing this with every skin I have, even the base skins...

And I mean, every skin.

Well, mons, there's something wrong with my config file in my skins files.


I've redownloaded again on the files that I use, like the TCM Logos. Reinstalled them, and they work.


But when I try to load a skin, it just crashes..

I've been running into many issues with the game since the 18.3 update.

Since the update, I downloaded the DF11 facepacks along with FC'12 kits. When I installed the packs, my game just pretty much, glitched out.


What it does is when I clear cache and reload the skin, my game all of a sudden turns black. The odd part about it is the fact that I can actually still do the shortcuts in the game, but when I do it, I can't do anything. If I try to reload the game, the game crashes.

I'm beginning to believe that what's exactly wrong with the game is something from the graphics and skin files that are causing the game to crash...

The .dmp files I have in the attachments are the errors I'm getting, but I have no way of viewing the file. If any of you can figure out what exactly is wrong with the game, please help me. Please, I'm desperate.

Great first season to avoid relegation, hopefully, next season you can fight for promotion!

I think it's the right move for him. He has no future with Wolfsburg since he moved there from Schalke, where he really should've stayed. Besides, most people in the Bundesliga hate him, and I'm personally not a fan of him, mainly because of his ego. And to be honest, a move to the Premier League would really ruin his career. Even right now at the moment PSG are in need of creative players like him.

Hey, I'm having issues downloading the file..it's saying that it has a virus included in the file and it won't download? Anything to do about this?
