News and Rumors

@Cheimoon has finally made a few appearances off the bench but has been listed for loan by Arsenal

@LARulz won the UEFA Super Cup with Bayern

Lazio is interested in @Hephaestus

@Welsh Wonder unhappy with the manager because he hasn't played a minute this season. At the same time, he's asking for a new improved contract and has refused to be sold to Mallorca and Middlesbrough.
 
At least I seem to be winning stuff at club level

Am I playing for Bayern or at best bench warmer like for England?

Yeah you're playing. You started the season with a couple of minor injuries but now you're holding the midfield alongside Jens Jeremies.

3-0 by @K Stand Knut, apparently quite a nice goal

FT: England 3-0 Greece

Pennant was POTM, looking at the stats Greece were lucky it stopped at 3

Hm. So how about that DC United rumour then? :nervous:
 
@Welsh Wonder turning down Middlesbrough and they’re flying high. Who are the star performers for United? Judging by my England ratings I must be saving the best form for my club side.
 
Well, 60 minutes under my belt and an 8.

Could have been worse but so far this is underwhelming compared to the previous experiment's trophy-collecting exploits.
 
Final day of the qualifiers has arrived, England need to beat Greece and hope Germany loses to Finland to get direct qualification for the 2002 World Cup. Otherwise it's playoffs for our caf players.

October 6, 2002 - England v Greece

An all-caf XI, 4-4-2 diamond.

53 min Greece goal, England is behind again.

55 min @BenitoSTARR leaves the pitch injured, @The Cat takes his place

65 min @Skizzo is off, but the managers doesn't take risks, because a defensive midfielder comes on, @LARulz with his 2nd England cap.

83 min, time running out, @P-Nut leaves the pitch replaced by @youngrell

Well, that's that... 3-1 Greece. Bottle job completed, fans start leaving Old Trafford.

FT: England 1-3 Greece

Disappointing performance and result. England fails to directly qualify for the WC. Only @Ian Reus and @pacifictheme played above average.

Final standings for Group 9, Germany beat Finland 5-1 and finished the group without defeats.

England will now face Ukraine in a two leg playoff, it's their final chance to qualify for the WC.

I find getting injured rarely helps my performance. There’s not many players who can leave the pitch due injury and still impact the game.
