With this draw direct qualification is now almost impossible. England plays Albania and Greece at home, Germany plays Finland at home. This means England will most likely play a playoff if they want to get to the WC.

That game went somewhat better for England in real life.

Captain of the side :smirk:
 
Responsible for conceding a equaliser in the first international, then the lowest rated player in the second game with a 6. My rise is going to be beautiful
 
Awesome :) Say, how does the game usually play out into the "future"? Is it surprisingly accurate or can anything happen?
It's absolute insanity, anything can happen. The longest I played was about 50 seasons and the big boys were Copenhagen, Panathinaikos and Wisla Krakow. They won about 20 CLs between them.
 
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

*London, England - February 11, 2002*

**England U21 Goalkeeper Chris Kirkland Scores Big in Fashion Game with Fila Partnership**

Diving into the world of fashion like he dives for a save, England's goalkeeper extraordinaire Chris Kirkland is set to tackle the clothing industry with his latest collaboration with Fila. Known for his prowess on the pitch, Kirkland is now ready to show off his flair for style with a clothing line that promises to be as dynamic as his goalkeeping skills.

In a move that's sure to hit the charts, Kirkland's partnership with Fila coincides with his newfound romance with pop sensation H from Steps. With their love story heating up faster than a Steps dance routine, the duo is set to take the fashion world by storm.

As fans eagerly anticipate the launch of Kirkland's fashion line, they can't help but wonder if tragedy will strike on the field or if Kirkland will continue to be a chart-topping sensation in both football and fashion.

@Siorac has been listed for loan by Newcastle. He's played very little so far.

@TrustInOle hasn't played a single minute so far, is unhappy and Derby are interested

@Stobzilla was Young Player of the Month in the PL, averaging 7.71

@paulscholes18 has zero minutes in the season and is unhappy with the manager
 
Yeah tbf I'm too good to waste time playing against Albania.

It was a tough game which I found particularly challenging to score in after the 83rd minute. I need to be on the pitch to be able to score goals and every striker I speak to believes the same.

Disgusting that I’ve not had a call up yet. Who is the fecking manager?
 
I thought you were leaving everything to the AI?
I put myself as manager to get the news about the players, but when it's time to call up the players or play the match I go on holiday and the AI takes care of everything.
