  1. If you're used to leagues like the NHL NBA etc, it'll be easy because all those have similar structures. If you're not, maybe there's a bit of a learning process there but it wouldn't be so difficult. It's not super complicated, just different.
  2. 15 y/o! I'd sign him. Don't count on his determination to change much though. Determination flair and natural fitness are innate stats. They don't change much.
  3. I think Lineker posted it like 6 posts ago
  4. I love prison break season 1. It's great and I don't care what people say.
  5. Still makes more sense than Zamorano using the 18 at Inter because 1+8 =9. He even had the little + sign n the shirt
  6. Good thing you don't hold grudges.
  7. See, that's reasonable. I usually get half a dozen every 6 months and then I end up with a few players who aren't good enough and have to loan them out until I'm finally able to sell them. Actually, I stopped doing that, but only recently. I still get 2 or 3 every January though.
  8. I sign players w/ less than 6 months left on their contracts all the time. The only players I actually don't mind spending a lot on are those who are really too good for my team and I can't believe they're actually willing to play for us.
  9. Owen's doing well though, isn't he? Why change it now?
  10. England won the World Cup 2022. They won all 3 group matches and ended with 12 goals scored (5-0, 4-0 and 3-0) then beat France 3-0, Belgium 2-0, Croatia 1-0, and Holland 2-1 with the world cup winning goal being scored on the 93rd minute. Second World Cup in a row for England. I was sacked from Japan. Deserved it too. Now I applied for a bunch of national teams, and hopefully I'll get the chance to crush the hopes and dreams of another nation. That's what I do, apparently.
  11. Change stuff around even if that means not using your best players and talk to them.. team meetings and such.. moral is a bitch in fm. It's way too important.

    Recess

    I may have watched a couple recess episodes but when it started airing, I was in high school in my too-old-for-cartoons phase, which thankfully I've grown out of. Ah, those weren't the days.
  13. I don't mind them either. Not trying to compare it - I haven't even seen the movie - but I love long, quiet, slow-paced scenes. The Coens were very good at that. They make me focus on small details I could have missed otherwise and they relax me. Then, of course, the gruesome happens, but that's neither here nor there.
  14. Great start. Germany beat us 3-0 in our first world cup game. We were never getting a point out of that so in order to go through, W's against Poland and Cameroon would be nice but probably won't happen. Poland beat Cameroon 1-0 in their opener. Meanwhile the match between Pep Guardiola's Portugal and Spain ended 2-2. Chile beat Mexico 2-0 which probably means Mexico won't go through. Mourinho's USA also got a draw (1-1) out of their first match, Paraguay being their opponents, while Italy came from 2-0 down scoring their third in the final 5 minutes of the match, only for Sweden to get a late equalizer the 93rd minute! Group A was boring and predictable. Uruguay beat Qatar 3-0 while Croatia beat Honduras 2-0. I don't really know why I'm finding this entertaining. I didn't even pay attention to WC 2018 in the game. Wouldn't be able to tell you who won.
  15. Key word being slightly, as there's no way that show could survive if it was overly sensitive to modern concerns.
  16. So, here are the World Cup 2022 groups in my game (my starting right back got injured just before the WC ) Group A: Croatia, Honduras, Qatar, Uruguay Group B: Cameroon, Germany, Japan (us), Poland Group C : Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Spain Group D : Italy, Paraguay, Sweden, USA Group E: England, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, South Africa Group F: France, Ghana, Holland, Jordan Group G: Austria, Bahrain, Brazil, Morocco Group H: Angola, Argentina, Belgium, Kuwait Some weird groups (Also, Angola instead of Nigeria in that last group. Let's pretend I had nothing to do with that) Meanwhile, I have this norwegian player on my team who barely shows up. He's absent from training all the time. Since I don't care about him, wasn't able to sell him and he's got 6 months left on his contract, I decided to fine him two weeks wages. He got upset, and a week later failed to show up once again. I fined him again. Two more weeks. He told me it was unfair but that didn't stop him from missing training again and being fined, yet again. I don't know if he ever shows up anymore, but I've probably fined him like 8 weeks' wages in December. Bitch better have my money. After this is over, I'll be starting my 10th season, which is the most I've gone on any save since CM 01/02. I don't think you should be changing all the time, but don't just use the same formation the whole season. I find using a formation often enough helps a lot after a few games, but if you never change it gets stale and your performance will drop afterwards.
  17. I'm surprised you didn't consider Sol Campbell Park just to take the piss.
  18. As for Cleveland Brown I guess he mentioned it because he's voiced by a white voice actor (Mike Henry), unless there's something else I don't know about. Oddly, in The Cleveland Show (a spin-off of Family Guy based on Cleveland's life) there's also a white redneck character (Lester) who's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
  19. I already live in a constant state of 90s nostalgia. I'll have to check it out.
  20. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. Several factors may affect their decision (I guess there's a random variable as well). It's like when you ask someone to reconsider retirement. I did that recently with one of my Japanese players and he accepted it and then I realised I didn't actually need him so I didn't pick him and he felt ashamed and said we would never play for us again. *Shrugs* Also, when I was managing Nigeria I tried to get this center back regen born in England with Irish and Nigerian ancestry to play for us but he refused and decided to play for Ireland instead. I just set his nickname to Paul McGrath and moved on.
  21. He started for Nigeria this World Cup!
