Gaming CM Experiment: "It's coming home!" Edition - Signups Open!

This says that the Golden generation are absolute bottle jobs and therefore they should look to youth to qualify for the Euro's. Specifically youth left backs, who play at Southampton.
And proven goal scorers at the highest level like myself.
 
Played three games and got 8/10 every match, including an assist. Dropped twice for no reason.

Feel like my country let me down.
 
I was happy with my goal today but if we keep scoring less than our opponents we’re going to find it hard to win games.

Except if you keep the opponent to zero. Score one less then, and the universe will explode.

Although I guess an exploding universe won't help England win football games. Hm.
 
16 for passing, get in the bin!
 
Scrubs starting because I'm injured. Get back in the game!

@Samid played his first ever senior official match!!! He had a 6 and hasn't played since.

@Welsh Wonder finally got his starting spot for Real Madrid, playing as a starter in 9 consecutive matches. However, he kept insisting on a new contract and was shipped to Celtic for 7.5M. Once he arrived in Glasgow, he got a 3 week injury and hasn't played a single match.

@BristolMick has taken over Dudek and is now the undisputed goalie for Liverpool.

Milan and Roma are interested in @BenitoSTARR

Spurs are interested in @Mr Pigeon

@Siorac hasn't played in about 3 months for Newcastle, is listed for loan, but refuses to go anywhere.
 
Well then, England were very underwhelming. Is the manager Southgate in disguise :lol:

How’s the premier league going?

That does sound like me: not going to give up a job where I'm paid well for doing nothing.

I’ve always considered playing in Italy but it’s hard. For starters if I went there I wouldn’t be in England.

On the plus side; I might get more games.

On the negative; well....Spurs.

I'd agree with you and join in with the campaign to get rid of the manager, but seeing as I don't get picked for ANY team, then it's really nothing to do with me.

I’ve always had the same problem throughout my career that when I’m not picked in the squad I find it harder to score for my side.
