as260191 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ukraine Squad Announced Following months of speculation, as260191 has today confirmed his Ukraine squad for the European Championships, with a number of surprise picks in his 23 man squad. GK Olexandr Rybka Maxym Koval Andriy Pyatov Defence Dmytro Chygrynskyi Eugene Khacheridi Sergiy Kyrtsov Vitaly Mandzyuk aroslav Rakitskyi Taras Mykhalyk Artem Fedetskyi Igor Oschypko Midfield Anatoliy Tymoschuk Roman Neustadter Taras Stepanenko Denys Oliynyk Denys Garmash Oleg Gusev Eugene Konoplyanka Olexandr Aliev Roman Zozulya Attack Andriy Yarmolenko Artem Milevskyi Eugene Selezhyov Reserves Andriy Dykan Olexandr Romanchuk Bogdan Butko Olexandr Kucher Igor Khudobyak Vladyslav Kalitvintsev Volodymyr Polyovyi Andriy Voronin With no Shevchenko in sight, there are thoughts that his international career may well be over, Voronin and Dykan, both stalwarts of previous sides only make the reserves list also. All eyes will be on Ukraine's 4-4-1-1 to see how they can cope against vastly more experienced sides. A number of youngsters have successfully claimed spots, and Roman Neustadter looks set to switch allegience from Germany in exchange for a potential starting midfield spot.

18Rabbit Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The representative from Ireland was prepared to announce their squad selection but he stopped by the pub on the way and hasn't been seen since.

Tziolis, who started five matches in qualifying, has played just three times for AS Monaco FC since joining them in February and his lack of first-team action was a cause of concern for the Greece coach. When asked about the player after naming his provisional squad, Scott said: "We know that Tziolis hasn’t played enough this season. But that's why we take players along to the training camp, to check out their condition. We have placed him on the stand-by list as you can never be sure what is around the corner" Midfielder Kone, on the other hand, has been a mainstay in Bologna FC's side this season, but Scott must have felt he had enough options in his position. One surprise name included is that of Kostas Fortounis. The 19-year-old 1. FC Kaiserslautern winger has just two caps to his name but impressed enough during training to persuade the English coach to include him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am playing an odd kinda of formation so felxabiltiy is needed. Samaras is out purley as i have done two test tournements and he has been nothing short of woeful in both... Plus his hair is awful.

Whoopy D Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Haven't been in CSE for ages, nice to see something like this going on again. It seems sign-ups have died somewhat over time. It's a shame because when you do them well it's really enjoyable to run/participate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 WhoopyD - It seems to have been a whole CSE forum wide event, almost every thread is down on activity from FM11, which was lower than FM10, and down from FM09's peak, and all the sign-ups slowly dropped off from then as well, I think only the Youth Only thread and Big Euro Challenge have increased in post counts this season.

Whoopy D Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah it seems to have gone that way LLR, sad to think really. Was some awesome threads back around FM09. I guess too many of the "regular" posters all seem to have moved on in a short space of time without being replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasy Chip Butty Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I had the same issue with it - takes quite a lot of time to sort when actually it seems so simple. It's still something I want to have a bash at one day. Might do something this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah the timing issues are really tricky. It takes longer than you'd imagine to get all the tactics etc sorted, play the match and write about it. I usually found that when I had to time to sit and play the matches I was waiting on people to send me tactics etc and as soon as the info came in a few days later, I'd be too busy. Still it's quite rewarding and I'm glad I completed both my own and finished GCB's version as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stothy Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yes indeed, it's quite rewarding to even make the game thread. The problem is the 2 people who are still yet to message me. It ruins the game as one of them is the number 1 seed :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
