tyler16 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 ...I, I don't know what to say. I'm not sure which is a crazier feat, reaching the final as SAN MARINO or losing 10-0 in the final.

oriole01 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This is quickly becoming one of my favorite threads on here. It's probably the most remarkable progress I've seen in any thread, and to have such amazing success on both the club and national team fronts is truly mindblowing. I mean... a Euro final? With San Marino? No way. Keep up the great work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Haha I did the same today too. Just not a set of games as big as yours! Really unlucky though, just a phenomenal run. I scrolled slowly as I was reading it to try and have a guess at the scoreline and just kept scrolling in disbelief. And then, sorry to say, burst out laughing when I saw 10-0. Just so cruel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 In all the Euros excitement I forgot to take my usual end of season screenshots for Fiorentino for the update. We won the league and cup again, 19-2-0 in the league stage. See above the progress tracker. We are in a very healthy financial position. Interestingly, the other SM sides are all 2* rep as well bar one, and all bar one have new stadiums. We face Bala Town in the CL 2nd Qual Round, should be comfortably through.

Just so cruel I think we had a somewhat lucky run to the final and then faced a motivated, world class side. Our whole squad is worth less than £7m, Italy's is over £500m. It is the first real time that a team has managed to completely negate our system, defensively and offensively. 10-0 in a final is just pure insanity, could you imagine it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherwinriga Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Amazing run in Euros, but what a game in the Finals against Italy. I'm very pleased with the coach's performance as long as they're given a ticket to the Confederations Cup if Italy won the World Cup or being the hosts. Probably, the biggest achievement in the history of the golden generation of San Marino NT. I would probably wait to see who's the Top 25 after UEFA Euro 2032.

Adonalsium Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Oh wow. It's absolutely ludicrous how successful you are with this squad. I mean, skill-wise, it can't be more talented than Man City.

Hi Adonalsium, thank you I am very happy with my tactics. They're based on Ranieri's Leicester mixed with Arrigo Sacchi, of whom I created a really good tactic on FM13.

smp20 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 What a result! Last time round it was better, 2-0 win and we had more chances, thanks to them being down to 10 men, but I will certainly take a 2-1 win in Manchester!

smp20 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 The best side we could have drawn were Fenerbahce, whereas the worst was Bayern. We've drawn Spurs, who are a decent side. Currently, we've never won a European knockout game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUtd1 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Will you be doing a thread or updating on the challenges forums? I got a new laptop in October 2013.....FM14 got a lot of game time!! Frankly, that depends on what I choose to do! I'll probably try and do a full-blown save in here, instead of within the strict confines of a challenge. That will allow some flexibility as the save progresses if I need to spice things up a bit (i.e., take on international management, so that it becomes a club/country challenge). Laptop shipped today, so I'll have it sometime next week... I remain absolutely blown away by your progress -- your 2032 regens are class, through and through. Shame about the 10-nil reverse to Italy, but making the final is extremely impressive in and of itself! Tremendous work!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceching You Out Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Blown away by your progress! It borders on absurd. Congrats!
