Romanista1994 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I remember that back in 2010, there were threads created in here for the discussion of the tactics of the various teams featured in the World Cup. Is this going to happen for the European Championships? Edit: State your choice of team and I'll write your name next to it in this post: Poland - llama3 - Official Euro 2012 - Poland Team & Tactic Guide Greece Russia - llama3 - Official Euro 2012 - Russia Team & Tactic Guide Czech Republic Netherlands - Chef Raekwon - Official Euro 2012 - The Netherlands Tactics & Team Guide Denmark Germany - fyrefuze - Official Euro 2012 - Germany Portugal - fyrefuze - Official Euro 2012 - Portugal (The Navigators) Spain - Cleon - Official Euro 2012 - The Spanish Tactic & Team Guide Italy - gooner83 - Official Euro 2012 - The Italian Tactic & Team Guide Republic of Ireland - kevin3 - Official Euro 2012 - The Republic of Ireland Tactic and Team Guide Croatia - kpain16 - Official Euro 2012 - The Croatian Tactic & Team Guide Ukraine - DeadPanda - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/308762-Official-Euro-2012-The-Ukraine-Tactic-amp-Team-Guide England - jimbobBRFC - Official Euro 2012 - The England Tactic and Team Guide France - ZdlR - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/308771-Official-Euro-2012-The-French-Tactic-amp-Team-Guide Sweden - Tactikzz - Official Euro 2012 - The Sweden Tactic & Team Guide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobBRFC Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not a bad idea that actually was there a different thread for every team or a one thread fits all sort of approach? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romanista1994 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Iirc it was divided by groups, which I think is the best approach as it doesn't clog up the whole forum with threads and at the same time doesn't create a chaotic mega-thread.

mikewalker Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think Guardian Football are doing this, there's a breakdown of the Poland squad/tactic on their site. Could be useful http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/29/euro-2012-experts-network-poland-tactics?newsfeed=true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah yeah that makes sense. I presume one person wrote each tactic thread?

Could be usefulhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/29/euro-2012-experts-network-poland-tactics?newsfeed=true That does look good, but it could also be interesting to have a discussion here about how to implement the various tactics into Football Manager. In the World Cup for example, Bielsa's Chile was a particular tactical highlight and there have been a number of attempts to recreate his style in the match engine. Yeah yeah that makes sense. I presume one person wrote each tactic thread? I say we do it anyway, im sure we can get enough people together to cover every team I did a search and it was heathxx who started all of them. If the mods approve of the idea they would be prime candidates for the thread starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If someone wants to do them by group then feel free. I'm not sure how heathxx feels but personally I don't have the time to write or start anything at the minute so the threads wont be started by me sadly. So if someone wants to do them then go ahead However make them detailed with a decent opening post please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romanista1994 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Opps sorry closed the thread by mistake. Yeah, I was about to write you something about that, glad it's back open so quickly. It's probably best to follow jimbobBRFC's idea in that case and have someone do each of the threads. I'll post the list of the teams now and people can choose which team they want to take. Then we can discuss what we would want to see in each of the opening posts here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Okay nice. Edit it into your opening post and put a name at side of the team to say who's doing the thread etc, then everyone can see who is doing what so we don't get duplicates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know this weekend. I don't think you'd need to as in-depth as Cleon has. It's more about the discussion that is generated really.
