BoxToBox Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 We had a quiet summer, post Confed Cup. First summer in a while we sold some players we didn't need. Story of the day must be Zidane pays for Wang. Also, on deadline day, Lyon bid multiple times for, and tried to upset one of my holding mids. This was a mistake. Their starting keeper was Iiskola, who they loaned from us at the start of the window, needless to say that was cancelled and they didn't have time to replace him. We're the only Danes to make CL group stages, after Nordsjaelland drew Benfica in their playoffs. Handy group for us, not so much for the others.

He was 18 on the day of the intake and played 3 games at the end of that season, but became a first team regular after that, averaging between 25 and 30 starts a season along with 15-20 sub apps. EDIT: Busiest season so far was indeed, 30 starts and 20 subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking more a natural degradation in physical ability, but earlier than you would otherwise see as a result of the early career action. Yes there will be injuries, but 25 seems too early for this. The other thing is that I'm not sure that hamstrings are the type of injuries that will be seen even where there are injuries involved. Ligaments more than muscular I would have thought, (but it is guesswork here and this is the 1st season that it's been in the game). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Vilfort Day! I'm not sure what to say, it's odd to not be too happy with picking up a generational talent, I mean, it's always excellent news, but we need to have a frank discussion abut Kim's apparent hate of defenders. We have so much attacking depth, it's ridiculous. Still, he's given us a player to be really excited about. He's going to be special, no doubt about that, a true star in the making. Proper fox in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxToBox Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Notice anything suspicious about the Championship Group? Nordy are these says by far the 2nd best team in the country, in their Europa knock out, they drew Milan. Beat them 3-2 at home and all, but lost away 1-2 and exited the competition on away goals. Very impressive all the same. EDIT: Who schedules these FCK-in' things? EDIT: EDIT: What's this Jarvis Lake chancer on? "Yeah, he might have won the last four CL's in a row with a bunch of teenagers from Denmark, and the Euros... with the same teenagers, but he'd never be able to handle away at Walsall."

BoxToBox Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 This was the squad going into the game. 2nd team. Under 19's. New boy was ineligible too, as he's 15. So we had to start an injured (youth team) striker, and name a five man bench, including two goalkeepers. FCK are an absolute disasterzone, it's shocking, they do have good players.

BoxToBox Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Season Review! We won some football games and stuff. Preliminary Phase - Championship Group - Cups - Europe To be honest, a great deal of the importance given to this season was in getting as many of our players ready for the World Cup, very especially Mikkelsen so we could have reliable RWB. Mikkelsen came along better than I expected, and is quite the monster wingback, perfect for what we need, and absolutely first choice for his nation. On to Canada, we're expected to make the quarter finals, but be outsiders beyond that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 World No. 1 in Brazil vs World No. 2 Denmark, and No. 2 took it! An unexciting final, all things told, but I think the Danish people were probably excited enough seeing the trophy lifted. We got incredibly lucky to get Switzerland in the Quarter Finals, a perfect chance to give the starters a game off to recharge a bit. Which may have played a part in the (baffling) destruction of Germany. They went on to lose the Third Place playoff to Argentina. Eight starters from Brondby, and specifically Vilfort's intakes. It would have been nine, as Martin Eriksen is my first choice ahead of Kasper Dolberg, but he got a fractured wrist in the very first game(against France). After that he struggled to get and stay fit. No idea what to do now, literally nothing left to achieve with Denmark or Brondby, but I guess this would be the perfect send off.

Benjoe Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You destroyed Germany 8-0? And won the World Cup? I'm... I'm just gonna start a petition to make you King of the Kingdom of Denmark. Won't be hard to make people aprove of it despite your Scottish heritage. I would suggest you marry Nina Agdal as your Queen, I have posted her before, but I think it is okay to post a new one since you won the World Cup. Otherwise Mathilde Gøhler is also a very worthy Queen. Josephine Skriver is absolutely gorgeous as well. Who am I kidding. I couldn't possibly choose a queen between these three let alone focus on anything progressive while thinking of them. A Google Image search will of course show some arguably even better pictures of these fine, young ladies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
