Nobby_McDonald Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Me neither, that game was filled with bad defending both ways. So how come the database got the win in that one? 3-2 is not an easy victory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govnar1 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I would be very interested to hear how English fans perceive ability of their national team (physical, mental and technical ability of players)? Do fans blame players or managers or both for perceived lack of success in past 20 years? In my personal (and very biased) opinion managers definitely were not the problem (8 different managers + 3 caretakers) nor was the undeniably poor technical ability of most English players. The real problem is that English players for some reason really lack tactical intelligence and discipline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal (and very biased) opinion managers definitely were not the problem (8 different managers + 3 caretakers) nor was the undeniably poor technical ability of most English players. The real problem is that English players for some reason really lack tactical intelligence and discipline. i feel that it's due to the immense physicality of the english premier league players become so adapted to playing to that style, just a shame that it doesn't work internationally of course, you've also got the quality of the players as well the fact that almost 50% of the English team comes from mid-table teams such as Everton/Villa/Liverpool(to an extent) speaks volumes, especially when most great nations have their from the top teams (Spain is dominated by Real and Barca players; Italy is AC, Inter and Juve; Germany is Bayern and Dortmund) also think that the media is partly an issue too, the team is so focussed on not failing, that negativity creeps into the play (see match vs Algeria in SouthAfrica) it's probably the appeasal of these why most of the squad that FAILED to qualify for Euro2008 is still playing, despite the talented youth coming through (England u19s made the Euro u19s final back in 10, they lost to Ukraine - they've continually made the u19 competition as well) it's not just one thing, but a whole heap of issues edit: with regards to OP, i'd have expected the database to predict mainly correct the scouting team in FM is second to none, and there's plenty of discussion in the data issues sections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piethief100 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It did turn out to be an interesting read after the Euros. Now, I wonder how much you would have won, or lost, if you had put a fiver on each database predicted winner for every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
