Ryan420 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just got to the end of my first season and have just been offered the the U23 job by Capello for the Olympics. Just wondering if any one else had managed to get the job or which AI manager got the job and how they got on .? sorry if this has been posted before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmzz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I applied for the job at the end of the 1st season and got accepted. Started off so well, beating Brazil in the group stages. Then my squad got ravaged by injuries (you can only select 18 players) and you're not allowed to call up replacements. Had to play my backup goalkeeper at centre back and with had nobody on the subs bench. Go spanked my Spain in he Semi's 4-1. Winning that gold medal is not as easy as you would think.

scott MUFC Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 you can call up replacements, it depends when injuries happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmzz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Had a couple of suspensions as well as the yellow cards kept piling up. Gareth Bale was sent off in the first game and was suspended for the rest of the tournament for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan420 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 which 3 over 23's did you select? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwjones Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I took this on, won it infact. I think if i remember rightly(was a long time ago) I took Beckham, Rooney and Joe Hart. You have to watch out for Brazil, they are very strong, spain are also quite strong, but those are the only two that should be able to cause problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I got offered the job as well and took it. Was managing Newcastle and starting with pro football experience. Went on to win the Olympics My 3 over23 players were Hart, Lampard and Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turneep Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 `Guardiola offered me the U23 Spain job which I took. Then following the Olympics Pep got the sack and I took over as Spain manager. Nice bit of usurping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampler Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 were you able to select players from wales, scotland and n.ireland? or just english players? because i read in the patchlog that you could not select players from the home nations for the u23 team?!

dan99 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 got it, won it, left >< Did the same, it was easy. Cahill, Bale and Fletcher were my over 23 players. I did take Kelly, Robinson and Flanagan who thus missed the Community Shield because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLara Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Won it quite easily. Drew the first game with Brazil 3-3 having come back from 0-2 down and then taken a 3-2 lead into stoppage time. Hammered New Zealand and Iraq to top the group. Comfortably beat Cammeroon in the quarters before an extra time 1-0 win against Spain due to a 120th minute Walcott strike and a very good 3-1 win against Uruguay in the final. Shame there's no achievement for it. I gave myself a cap of a minimun 2 players from each country in the squad so my over's were Rooney Fletcher and Evans. Quit when I won it.
