Took me long enough but I've belatedly read through this. Well written! Nice work with the promotion, one step closer…
Fingers crossed! Though it's gonna be more difficult as I've already managed the top nations, so unless Italy and/or Portugal (or whoever else) shoot up the rankings I'll have to achieve it with a non-elite team. Then again, my two best runs so far have b...
Keep the updates coming!👍There's been a few supposed FM26 leaks out, one screenshot seems to show the possibility of adding biography and playing career for a manager, which would be pretty cool.
The 2054 FIFA World Cup reaches the quarter-finals!Well that's Poland off the Christmas card list. They inflict a painful loss on Olivier Mbappé and France, who were 2-0 up inside 7 minutes and remained ahead until the 96th minute (!!) when Atlético Madri...

The 2034 FIFA World Cup reaches the quarter-finals!Oof. Stark result, that. Spain are knocked out of the 2025 FIFA World Cup by holders France. In fairness, the scoreline was not a true reflection of what was an even, if low-quality, match. The French xG?...
The 2050 FIFA World Cup reaches the Round of 16!That's a nice win against our Italian amigos. A more even game than the scoreline suggests, to be fair,Wales are back in the old groove, they're into the quarter-finals are eliminating Portugal. Germany go o...
The 2050 FIFA World Cup reaches the knockout stages!Senegal tried to commit a smash-and-grab, but the Spaniards did enough to see through a 2-1 win. Italy are up next! Tricky.Brazil head home (well, they're already home but…) after losing to the Netherlan...

The 2046 FIFA World Cup reaches the Round of 16!Well, that felt inevitable. Germany had been riding their luck, which has evidently now ran out. Fair play to the United States, do we think Jürgen Klinsmann will be happy or unhappy? Here's how the res...
The 2046 FIFA World Cup reaches the knockout stages!Well, I did say I was unconvinced by this squad. But, they've got balls. A penalty shoot-out win over Sweden, who deserved to win to be honest - us Germans didn't have a shot (a shot!) until the equalise...

Well, well, well… 👀I'll do a bonus World Cup with Hungary after I've done 2046 properly with (spoiler) Germany.
The 2042 FIFA World Cup reaches the final!Pain. Just like in 2030 with Belgium, my team lose a World Cup final. Brazil, in fairness, deserved to triumph, but to lose out so narrowly in scoreline terms is unfortunate.Don't mind me, just going to message Sp...
The 2042 FIFA World Cup reaches the semi-finals!My apologies to the great nation of Algeria, but the Netherlands are off to the 2042 FIFA World Cup final at Camp Nou! An even, edgy match saw the Dutch sneak through, with Guyon Markelo notching his second...

The 2038 FIFA World Cup reaches the knockout stages!A narrow, but welcomed success over the United States. Jamal Büttner (no relation to Mr. Alexander Büttner, I know Wigan Athletic fans still fear that man) with the all-important goal. Sweden beat Portug...

Thanks both! …and I second that.
Cheers pal! It has made for a pleasant change of pace. Oops! I didn't even realise I messed that up until right now. That's a big brain fart! I'm not entirely sure how I've managed it.A peak behind the curtain: For 2030, I did the random number...
Good wordplay for the title. Best of luck with the save, I'll aim to follow it!
The 2034 FIFA World Cup reaches the quarter-finals!Bloody English! In a tight encounter, it is the English who came out victorious thanks to Fulham newgen Jake Laskowski. Still no World Cup for yours truly. We go again!Elsewhere in the quarters, Wales bea...
The 2030 FIFA World Cup reaches the Round of 16!Extremely unconvincing, but Brazil get the job done - South Korea can feel very hard done by, though.Up next? England! The first time I've face a nation I've previously managed (in 2026).Spain and Germany ar...
The 2034 FIFA World Cup reaches the knockout stages!A narrow scoreline, but a merited victory over Senegal. Ângelo Gabriel was Brazil's top goalscorer in qualifying and at the finals has now scored three games in a row. South Korea up next, who lost in ga...
