deadeyedunc Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well you've created the most bizarre team I've seen! As for the challenge, not too much of a challenge in the Scottish league with that stadium and that rep. Also what's to stop them retiring during the game, have you put something in the editor? You'll be making loads of cash so you can just buy much better players. Fun - yes, challenge - no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomjr Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Where The Heck, is Gebriel Batistuta?!?!? Pele? Zico? Maradona? Di Canio? Effenberg? Zidane? Hernandes? Personally, I don't think Lucas Radebe was a great player. He was a good defender, hands down... but not really great. Tony Adams was the man really. Not that there is anything wrong with the squad.
