mark wilson27 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 November 14th: Turkey v England; World Cup 2010 Play Off 1st Leg ( Indu, Istanbul) I told my players we needed an away goal as everyone knows how dangerous the Turks can be. The game started with a real bang as within two minutes Rooney had shot a thunderous effort into the back of the net to give us the lead, four minutes later we silenced the Turkish crowd as Rooney again fired in. I was in shock at how well my team had come out of the blocks and on the 10th minute Rooney had completed his hat trick with a fine curling effort which completely wrong footed the Turk keeper. Two minutes later we were four goals up as Owen got into the scoring habit. I couldn’t have asked for a better start. We continued to pile forward and terrorize the Turkish defence and on the 35th minute another goal was scored as Ilhan fired in for Turkey. However ten minutes later and with the last kick of the half Owen sent us into the break 5-1 up. All I could do was congratulate my players. I made a couple of changes and replaced Rooney with Defoe and Wright-Phillips with Walcott The second half was much the same as we dominated the Turkish team in there own back yard and the frustration was clearly getting to them as on the 76th minute J.Cole was hacked down in there area to give us a penalty. Carrick stepped up and thundered a great kick into the net to give us a 6-1 lead. The lead however was reduced to 6-2 on the 84th minute as Nihat fired but it was too little too late and we were half way to the World Cup Turkey 2 Ilhan 35, Nihat 84 England 6 Rooney 2, 6, 10, Owen 12, 45, Carrick pen 76 Man of Match; Rooney (England) Booked: Rooney (misses next match), Hargreaves Attendance; 32,144 Player Ratings: GK: Robinson (8) RB: G.Neville (7) LB: A.Cole (7) CB: Terry (cap) (7) CB: R.Ferdinand (8) MR: Wright-Phillips (7) sub 45 Walcott (7) ML: J.Cole (8) MC: Hargreaves (8) MC: Carrick (8) FC: Rooney (9) sub 45 Defoe (7) FC: Owen (8) Other Results: Croatia 2-1 Poland Spain 1-2 Romania Wales 3-1 Switzerland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark wilson27 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 November 18th: England v Turkey; World Cup 2010 Play Off 2nd Leg (agg 6-2) (Wembley) Another cracking start saw us a goal up on the 2nd minute as Walcott fired in from Wright-Phillips cross. Five minutes later we should of gone a further goal up as Owen fired just wide of the upright. It was one way traffic as we continued the domination from the first leg. Just before the half hour we had the chance to double our lead but J.Cole’s free kick went just over the crossbar after Hargreaves was fouled twenty yards out. On the 42nd minute we made it 2-0 as Walcott again fired in with ease. The second half was a different story as Turkey came right back at us and started pelting shot after shot into the area. My players looked alittle surprised as Turkey dominated the second half but luckily for us Robinson was on hand to deny them any chance of scoring and we qualified for the World Cup the hard way.

viperk1 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The 7 chosen seeded teams are based on current world rankings and previous performances in the World Cup (in other words, because USA were sh*** in 2006, they weren't seeded here). The rest of the pots are decided on geographical location. This ensures that 4 UEFA teams or 4 CONCACAF teams etc. etc. don't meet each other in the group stages. The hosts and the defending champions are ALWAYS in Pot A. In this case - Pot A contains the 7 seeded teams & the hosts. Pot B contains the unseeded countries from the UEFA region. Pot C contains the unseeded countries from South America, Africa and Oceania Pot D contains the unseeded countries from the CONCACAF region and the AFC region. But anyway, 4 of the home nations in the world cup! Very impressive from the Irish, Welsh and Scottish - all we need now is for this to happen IRL, then I'll be a very happy bloke. KUGTW, mark!

mark wilson27 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 February 3rd: England v Malawi; Friendly (Old Trafford) We made hard work of overcoming Malawi and it took us till the 20th minute to get our first effort on target as Wright-Phillips jinked his way though the Malawi defence but his final effort was poor and he fluffed his effort wide. Despite dominating the play we struggled to get any sort of shot in but on the 43rd minute we finally got the goal as Walcott fired in from the edge of the area. I changed the formation to a 4-3-3 at half time and brought on Gary Neville for Terry, James Milner for Chris Eagles and Dean Ashton for Rooney. Within two minutes of the kick off we had doubled our lead as Owen fired in after collecting a good ball by J.Cole. We were cruising through the game but failing to add to our tally and on the hour we had a scare as Malawi came close to scoring but Foster pulled off a good save to deny them. We finally added another goal on the 71st minute as J.Cole fired in from 25 yards. In truth we should of won by a cricket score but my players seemed far too relaxed for the game, hopefully they won’t do the same against Italy next month.

bluebirds4life Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hey I won't be continuing my Argie Bargie story because I don't have the time really but I'll post results etc. So I've played all friendy's and here are the results: Norway 2 - 4 Argentina - Riquelme, Aimar, Aguero, Heinze Bolivia 0 - 4 Argentina - Tevez, M Rodriguez, Aguero, Burdisso Australlia 1 - 6 Argentina - Aimar(3) , Riquelme, Samuel, Tevez I am very excited and I love international management 14 goals in 3 is pretty good and Bolivia was on a Saturday away and Australlia was on the Tuesday away so not much time but still managed hammerings in 3 days time both away games. I doubt it makes a difference on FM but the Bolivia match was on altitude. The first 45 minutes in every game I put my reserves out which is rather impressive, and may I point out Aimar's hat trick was all in the second half as he was brought on half - time. I actually had a lot of first teamers out including Cambiasso, Messi and Sorin. I've got so much to say but I better not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark wilson27 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 March 24th: Italy v England: Friendly (San Siro, Milan) With only 84 days left to go before the World Cup this was my last chance to see my players in action and see how they cope with a potential World Cup favourite. My players did themselves proud as they controlled the Italians in the early minutes of the game but as you’d expect the Italians defence didn’t let much through. On the 16th minute the Italians game plan had to be changed as Gattuso was sent off for a two footed lunge on Eagles. However this seemed to spur the Italians on and within ten minutes they had taken the lead as Marchisio fired in past Robinson. The Italians kept control of the ball for much of the rest of the half. At half time I brought on Gary Neville for Justin Hoyte, Joe Cole for Chris Eagles who was struggling alittle with a leg injury, Hargreaves on for Gerrard and Owen for Rooney. We started the second half as we did the first but this time we managed to score as Ashton fired in past the keeper. We started to play the better football and began to dominate the Italians and on the 71st minute we got the winner as Owen ran clear of the defence and slotted home to silence the San Siro crowd. Italy 1 Marchisio 26 England 2 Ashton 50, Owen 71 Man of Match: Owen (England) Booked; Gerrard, J.Cole Attendance: 82,938 Player Ratings: GK: Robinson (7) RB; Bardsley (7) LB: J.Hoyte (7) sub 45 G.Neville (7) CB: Terry (cap) (7) CB: R.Ferdinand (7) MR: Eagles (6) sub 45 J.Cole (7) ML: Milner (7) MC: Gerrard (6) sub 45 Hargreaves (7) MC: Jenas (7) FC: Ashton (7) FC: Rooney (7) sub 45 Owen (8) Now I’ve got a few weeks too decide who I will be taking to the World Cup.

mark wilson27 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 June 16th; England v Saudi Arabia; World Cup 2010 Group Stage (Loftus, Pretoria) I told my players we needed a good performance and three points today too kick off our campaign. My players did just that as we controlled the Arabian side with ease. We opened the scoring on the 12th minute as Rooney fired in from J.Cole’ cross. It was all us as the Arabians seemed to struggle with pace we had set for the game. On the 34th minute we doubled our lead as Owen fired in but the assistant referee had raised his flag for offside, alittle late I might add though. The second half was much the same as we dominated the opposition and nine minutes into the half we doubled our lead as Owen got onto the score sheet with a great individual goal. Six minutes later we added another goal but yet again we had the goal ruled out for offside much to Rooney’s annoyance. However we kept our cool and continued the pressure and it wasn’t long till got the third goal as Owen doubled his tally for the game with a rasping shot from 15 yards. Five minutes later though Saudi Arabia got on the score sheet as a slip in defence let Fallatah in to fire past Robinson England 3 Rooney 12, Owen 54, 72 Saudi Arabia 1 Fallatah 77 Man of Match: Owen (England) Booked: Hargreaves Attendance; 59,987 Player Ratings; GK: Robinson (7) RB: G.Neville (7) LB: A.Cole (7) CB: Terry (cap) (7) CB: R.Ferdinand (7) MR; Wright-Phillips (7) ML: J.Cole (7) sub 68 Walcott (6) MC: Hargreaves (7) MC: Gerrard (7) FC: Rooney (8) FC: Owen (8) Other Results; Uruguay 2-0 Finland, Rep.Ireland 6-0 Cameroon June 17th: USA 4-2 Argentina, Egypt 1-1 Italy, Romania 1-0 Iran June 18th; Wales 3-1 Morocco, Sweden 1-1 South Korea, Croatia 1-0 Paraguay June 19th: Brazil 2-0 Jamaica, Bulgaria 2-1 Japan, Senegal 1-0 Holland June 20th: Portugal 4-3 Australia, Ukraine 0-0 South Africa, Mexico 4-0 Chile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
