AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Side quest. I decided I will quit Brazil no matter what after this World Cup. Will it be a wipe out like my attempt with France? Let's see Group Stage Absolute cake walk. Smashed Denmark 4-0. They had already spanked New Zealand 3-0 so played the 2nd XI v New Zealand knowing even a slim defeat would see us through but we put 8 past them anyway. Lol. 2nd round v Japan Japan beat Jamaica 1-0 but lost 2-0 to Poland. 17th in the world. Should win... Really weird stats there. 60%+ possession for Japan and not a single shot on target. Defended brilliantly. Bit shaky up front but a coupla early goals in the 2nd half settled any nerves. 3rd round v The Netherlands. Eight in the world and my keeper in goal and two of my centre backs in defence but conceded 1 v Australia and 2 v Qatar so look a bit dodgy. Still they've won all three game so far Made hard work of it. Once again the other team dominated possession. Don't know where that's coming from. Was comfortable throughout but a bit nervy with two goals lost from set pieces. Quarter Final v Spain. Since they humped ma France team they've won the Nations League and Euros and lost only three games in that time. 1st in the world and tournament favourites.. Stats don't tell the whole story. 3-1 and more shots, shots on target and possession but this was a game light on highlights. Only when Luis Carlos, who usually plays as a striker, came on at AML did we really spark into action and he scored two belters. Defence was phenomenal. Semi final v Serbia. 11th in the world and lost their first game 1-0 v Burkina Faso before spanking USA 5-1. Needed extra to beat the swiss but then got a surprise 1-0 victory of the English (yey) in the quarters before putting four past Tunisia. Seem very hit or miss. We did not play well but, also, didn't play badly. A dodgy penalty for handball when a Serbia player had no one near him was required. So we are onto the final v Italy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Italy, 4th in the world, nothing really outstanding about their campaign until the last ten minutes of their semi final v France... 15 minutes in. The only highlight has been a free kick from Italy that went well wide... I took a calculated gamble and played Pinto Nunes up front today. He hasn't scored all tournament and has been playing on the right. Thought "f**k it!". A ball over the top of a static Italian defence and he runs on... If they had played my boy Chiesa at left back he woulda cleared that... Deep cross to the back post. My attacking midfielder in the world who is really a striker volleys it at goal. Keeper saves but he scores the rebound from a tight angle... Half time! Can't wait to see how I balls this up... 60 minutes.... No change in the score. My keeper done well in a one-on-one very similar to our own first goal. Vinicious Junior's came off for top goalscorer Fabio. Bringing and out and out winger on for an inside forward to stretch em a bit. 75 minutes... Centreback comes on for my tiring BWM to kick c***s in the midde of the park. Also some fresh legs behind the striker and made him a trequirista because, f**k it, it's only a game CIGARS OUT! My trick-or-treater beats two men and hits a fucking shite daisy cutter straight at the keeper who fumbles it and Luis Carlos taps it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Now that I've won the WC, European and South American championships I might see if I can win the CONCACAF, African Nations, Asian Cup and Oceanic Cup. Anyway. Back to Juve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Can't tell if this a bug or something but it is doing my tits in. Signed this Brazilian lad for a fair whack last season but he never joined until July 1st. I presumed selling Colley and Martinez would allow me to register him as a nonEU player but it wont let me click on him. The other nonEU player I signed at the same time I can add/remove as I like. Anyway I sold a Brazilian winger I quite liked just to free up space but it still says ineligible... Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Signings! World class keeper on a Bosman from West Ham. He's English but was born in Malta so doesn't affect the nonEU quotas 'This Dutch lad cost the same amount as the overpriced Czech fella I've just loaned out but he's better and will get better as well. This guy, for some reason, I can register despite being nonEU and he only cost £5,000,000 will be a decent squad player but will sell him in a heartbeat to make room for Nando. Should give me a few options and has a great goalscoring record in Argentina where he's scored 1 in 2 the last few seasons or thereabouts from midfield Finally. £30,000,000 for a guy to take over the slightly iffy AML spot but the game wont let me register him and I can't loan him out. Hopefully he'll be satisfied with cup/European games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only register 1 nonEU signing per season and then you can register another one if you sell a nonEU player to a club outside of Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Isn't even letting me register him for Europe now despite that not having the nonEU rule.

Bought a 20 year old centre mid from Man Utd for £60+ million and must have been near £150k a week and couldn’t play him at all. I tried to loan him out for no fee and no wages and still couldn’t get anybody to make an offer so he ended up doing bugger all except play for Brazil for 12 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 This year and all of next year will be friendlies only for NZ. But the missus is a Kiwi so I was genuinely delighted with this match Jean Tache is striker for Wolfsburg and the rest of the team is domestic based for this one. We had 8 players pull out with injury since the squad was announced. 91st in the world v 18th. Pwoud. Vewy pwoud of my Aotearoa boys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Champions League was shite 1-0 up and in control v Atletico at home when they got a player sent off right at the start of the 2nd half. Had a 10 minute horror show where we went 2-1 down and had to nick a late equaliser. Both games v Man City we were absolutely battered for 30 minutes and were 3-0 down early doors each time. We brought it back a bit but lose killer goals as we chased the game. Atletico were the better team in the away game v them but, again, had to chase the win and got caught out after we had equalised and were going for it. Salzburg have lost every game. Europa League it is for us. We're quite a bit off Man City but not far from Atletico Madrid. This was Juve's first Champions League run out in three years. Quarter finals were expected but we fell short. Hopefully we can win the league this year to get top seed next season or, at least, a decent run to get 2nd seeds Disappointing away defeats to Lazio and Inter have cost us top spot (also dropped points 3-0 away to Milan early in the season and an annoying 0-0 draw with Empoli). Would be doing a lot better if we were allowed to play the fucking player I signed Pinto Nunes is doing well in a number of posistions, Conte's dropped off after a good start. Already gutted that Tiéhi and Durand are fucking off back to Man City after this season as they wont extend the loan and I cant afford them. de Ligt is retiring but Poirier and van Dijk are decent. Bernard covered for Bronic while he was injured and done well. The makings of a good team are here but I cannae decide if I want to splash out on a coupla more big signings or hoover up all the young talent and do a longer term effort 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
