  1. My Benidorm side recently won the Federation Cup. The board then decide that I'm not important and hand out all the money to the players:

    Bear in mind that this is the European Championship semi-final, where defending is meant to be top-notch. So what's wrong with this picture?

    Oh, besides the fact that it's actually my striker taking the throw-in; the fact Scotland actually made it to the semi-finals and that it wasn't actually the number 14 that eventually scored.

    Are Scotland supposed to be that good at football?

    The Argentina game was hilarious. 6-3 at half-time, and despite the Argentinians having the better second-half, defensive mistakes from set-pieces allowed Scotland to thrash Argentina 9-3.

    The Sweden game was just shocking. Sweden, missing their not-so-influential captain but easily their best player, were just disgraceful against a Scotland side who were allowed to run circles around Sweden.

  3. Think I have some talented youngsters coming through!

    The worst thing? It was the Teddy Bears who beat me!

    Reminds me of my Henri Saivet-powered Under-18s... Went unbeaten for the whole season... Until Liverpool came along. :(

    Had something like 140 goals scored, 20 conceded, with Henri Saivet scoring nearly half that amount.

  4. Apparently, it's odd that I'm watching my 2 Italian players and 2 Scottish players:

    Love the comment about me wasting the FA's budget, though!

    And this took the concept of "super-keepers" to a whole new level:

    Before anyone says, "It's your tactics", I've used this tactic against the majority of teams with minor tweaks per opposition with good results. Yes, I won that many corners and yes, Pepe won that many headers (near post). Yes, Pepe is 36 there but I didn't want to tire my best centre-backs against poor opposition. Yes, one of my players made 10 key passes (he's a central midfielder).

    I hit the post once and my young striker (Scott Willis) missed two sitters in injury-time, although he did infinitely better than my older striker (Laurentiu Miselaricu) - don't let those statistics deceive you!

    Watching the match again, it was unbelievable, my domination - I told my right-back (Erwan Marveaux) to play at wing-back with a backwards arrow and an all-out mentality such was the one-sidedness - and I had a feeling I would lose it on penalties.
