Les Girondins Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 russian oligarchs (aka Robber Barons) are multiferous and universally loaded. having *ahem plundered the wealth of the entire continent for over a decade. it makes sense that they would like to live it up in europe; especially Italy, the most corrupt beurocracy on the planet. why would one buying Internazionale be unrealistic? you are aware of the clubs history right? such as who founded it and why? :thup: PS: not a good idea to swear in the topic title even pretend. mods will ave you.

thegame24 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 This sums up how ridivulous it is. We really should get our money back, this flag shouldnt even be in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerdMuller Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 So is this really alternate history and theres also a Soviet League and national team now? If this is the case i accept it as realistic as comeback of communism is around the corner anyway. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanefc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 This sums up how ridivulous it is.We really should get our money back, this flag shouldnt even be in the game I think the reason that the flag is in the game is purely for the competition historys For instance, the European Championship, which was won by USSR in 1960 I think the Yugosalavia flag is still in the game for this reason too.... Also, (going off FM2008 here) there are also a Great Britain and East German flags in the game, due to past success in some olympic games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopitelewis Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 maybe george bush will buy ac milan? ah well as long as the russians don't offer him any sushi or if they decide to go native and slip it in the spaghetti bolognaise then there will not be an E-cold war on FM.

Carl_272 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 It's rather ridiculous that FM still has trouble differentiating between countries which exist and don't exist, I remember signing a regen on CM 00/01 funnily enough for AC Milan, who was East German. SI love their communism then. I'm not bitter about Inter being both richer and better on the pitch, honest. I'm never going to catch up to them now!!
