ZJ Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 In the 2014 World Cup Spain, England, Italy, and Germany all get knocked out in the 2nd round. England fires Rafa Benitez, Spain fires Capello, Italy fires Spinelli and Germany gets rid of Magath. One week later they've all hired new coaches: Spain: Rafa England: Magath Germany: Spinelli Italy: Capello If at first you don't succeed, hire someone that didn't succeed either...

Pea Tear Griffin Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 In mine: England sacked Capello after a poor Euro 2008, and appointed Sam Allardyce Man City finished fourth in the Premier League in 08-09 Derby finished fifth in the same season Man City beat eventual runaway league winners Liverpool 6-1 in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg Elano moved from Man City to Man United Nasri moved from Spurs to Arsenal Atletico Madrid won La Liga Fleetwood, at the time not even in the Blue Square North knocked Leeds out of the FA Cup. Stoke knocked out Manchester United. Agustin Delgado was brilliantly close to winning the premier league golden boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackant Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 After winning 10 titles, 6 CLs, plus a bunch of cups - inc the World Cup and Euro with England - I was turned down for the Barce job in favour of Stuart Pearce.

jod123 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Tottenham have been relegated in the first season in 2 of my games. In one game the FA Cup was won by a non big 4 team in each of the first 4 seasons including Hull winning the first. This is not really strange but Deportivo were taken over by a business tycoon. It is the first and only time I saw a business tycoon taking over anyone in the game. Sweden won Euro 2008. Man City added to big 4 to form a big 5 (2 top 4 finishes in a row and are current league leaders). Gordon Strachan and Walter Smith are now managing in La Liga. Mark Hughes managed Benfica before moving to Juventus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althaz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I am playing the oddest save right now with Liverpool. I managed Cameroon to the Final of the World Cup, losing to Ivory Coast, who's semi-final opponent, Brazil sacked their manager for losing on penalties after having a goal incorrectly ruled offside in the 85th minute. I got the Brazil job a few days later. In the same save Man Utd's highest finish has been sixth in the three seasons I've played and they've been as low as 14th(!). Chelsea missed the top 4 in season 2 leaving the top five like this: Liverpool (me) Arsenal (worth over quadruple any other club atm) Man City Reading (wtf!?) Chelsea Chelsea's manager wasn't fired, Reading's was. Only in season 4 and already it's crazy . Forgot to mention Fergie still has his job after I (the manager of Liverpool FFS) knocked it back.

blueboy10000 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Manchester United have just been relegated to the Championship in 2015 after a shambles of a season. They've been dodgy for a few seasons after Fergie left and had a string of managers. Then in February 2015 they appoint... wait for it ... William Gallas as their new manager. He lasts a magnificent 19 days before he is sacked because the players have lost confidence in him! The new manager cant keep them up. Whats also entertaining is that at the start of the 2015-16 season they have just lost at home to York in the League Cup. Cant wait to see how far down they go!

Real Madrid is now a mid-table side, and Pepe wants to move to a bigger club. They fell dramatically: Champions in 2007/08, 3rd in 2008/09, 7th in 2009/10 and a whopping 10th in 2010/11. They are 7th right now with 16 games into the season. Now Zaragoza has became a leading side, La Liga Champions in 2009/10 and Champions League Quarter Finalists!

Dong21 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Right made a new save as Manchester United and its going great. My mate comes round and so i say he can join as a team and we can play on the same career on my laptop together so he adds himself as Aston Villa and is doing fine. Now, he is playing Liverpool in the League Cup 3rd Round and is losing 3-0 in the first half. He's see's the time and realises he has to get on his moped and get home before it gets too dark. I tell him i'll complete the match for him and then save and close till next time. So its half time and i decided that the game is definatly lost and so for a laugh i put Ben Foster up front and go all-out-attack. The half starts well with Saha (signed from me on the cheap ) scores a penalty, BUT THEN Foster scores two very good goals to make the 90 minutes finish as 3-3 !!!! Unfortunately Kuyt scored in the 104 minute to knock him out but it was definately one of the strangest things to happen to me. My friend couldn't believe this when i showed him a few days later. Actually that reminds me ... when playing the demo last September i was very bored (playing as Portsmouth) and so played young keeper Begovic and 2nd choice keeper Ashdown up front (Both were transfer listed and offered to clubs for £0 and everyone said no) in a friendly against Calta Vigo and we lost 1 -0. Anyway, after the match arsenal bid £1.5m for useless gk Begovic and i was incredibly happy !! So those of my strangest goalkeeper-related incidents.

Oktober Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Some of the best for me have been the crazy goings on in Germany. Despite having an awesome all-regen team now, in the last round of World Cup Qualifying they somehow managed to lose twice to the Faroe Islands and Latvia, Ireland and (admittedly my) San Marino. Domestically, Magdeburg, who start the game in the Regional Division North and who came 15th in the first year, won the Bundesliga in 2022. In a past game also, the Faroes had the best player in the world and possibly even best I've ever seen - Heini Danielson appeared without a club and started in the Danish lower leagues, and ended up with passing, crossing, dribbling, creativity and the whole lot 20s, absolutely stunning left winger with the misfortune of being born in a country where he had zero hope of ever winning something. I like to think though that he's now Prime Minister or equivalent of the Faroes after becoming their most reknowned citizen in their history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Also: Man United get relegated regularly whenever I've played long enough so I barely count that - but for the first time ever, Inter Milan also managed in mine, the last remaining club to have never left the Serie A ruined their century-old tradition in a season they should have been title challengers. Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Werder Bremen, Man United, Liverpool, Newcastle, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla and Real Madrid have all been relegated out of their top division - in one season in Spain, the Liga BBVA contained all those bar Real, as well as Athletic Bilbao and Atletico - only Barcelona went up (with Celta and Granada) - and Real Madrid came down! Spain's absolutely nothing like reality any more, it looks fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
