Considerations: Altonaer FC von 1893 in Germany: instrumental founders of the german football federation, hosted the first ever league final, and in the early years of german football reached two semi-finals are Hamburg's third biggest team, have a vocal fan base similar to St. Pauli's and unique uniforms. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting played for them from ages 10 to 13. C&C with a newly created country, most likely Brittany. Career game starting in the state leagues of Brazil. I told Hokster a few posts ago, that maybe a C&C with Catalunya was a good idea. Take over a small Catalan side (Sabadell, Gimnastic, Lleida or Girona) and take advantage of the brilliance of La Masía to try and build upon.

Nice result Dirk. Is Sigurd Gronli still at Tromso? He was quality on FM19.

Nice result Dirk. Is Sigurd Gronli still at Tromso? He was quality on FM19. He certainly is, and he is still quality. I reluctantly sold him to Köln for €2m after he got unhappy, and replaced him with the fantastic Tobias Gulliksen. I was rejecting bids for Gulliksen until unfortunately the board decided to accept a €15.75m bid from Tottenham without any future sell-on clauses, so we'll probably miss out on a lot of money in the future. It's obviously a lot of money for a club like this though, and it allowed me to throw €6m at Newell's Old Boys to steal Adrián González from them, who will hopefully our next asset for future profit. Gronli didn't play much for Köln by the way, and also didn't get much game time on loan at Darmstadt.

It felt great to beat them, although I'm sure they'll be eager to hammer us at the Bernabeu now. Napoli just put us back with both feet on the ground by beating us comfortable, 3-1. I guess we just fare better in a bit of snow.

I guess we just fare better in a bit of snow. This turned out to be true, Real was up 5-0 after 35 minutes, and Hazard missed a penalty before halftime. Luckily, they took their foot of the gas and the game ended 5-1. We did have another win, a sneaky 1-0 win over Leverkusen at home, which was just enough to finish third, albeit thanks to a 91st minute equalizer by Madrid's Mbappé against Leverkusen that dropped the Germans back to 4th place. There is now an away game at Stade Brest waiting for us in the first knock-out round of the Europa League, which is played over just one game. On a more important note, it's the end of 2022, and that meant the World Cup took place, and it was a wild one! Wtf! We were lucky with the group stage draw since Qatar was in it so we avoided the highest ranked countries, but the rest of the schedule was also incredibly favourable. I don't think there has ever been a cheaper World Cup win. I mean, just look how lopsided this is! I was most afraid of The Netherlands on our side of the tree, but they screwed up in typical Dutch style against Ukraine. The extra 30 minutes tired them which gave us a pretty easy win to reach the final. Italy was arguably the only top country we were up against all tournament, and they played really poorly in the final. Ohi Omoijuanfo won the Golden Boot by scoring 8 goals, mainly because he put away 5 against Qatar who only had 2 players in their squad. Haaland was the main man scoring some important goals.

This might be the biggest upset I've ever seen in a WC in FM, and this is from a guy that finished 4th with Albania once.

That's amazing! Probably a bigger feat given our easy run-in to the final and the fact that Haaland is one of the best strikers in the game. Was this in an Albanian C&C?

It was, back in FM16 i think. I took advantage of how albania pretty much only has good defensive midfielders by playing almost as a wedge, filling the whole center of the field, forcing the opponents to base their game on crosses, where my huge defenders did a good job. in the front, it was a lob it to the striker the second we had the ball and then getting fouls. Most games were won 1-0 in a counter attack or with a Lorik Cana free kick. We actually managed to beat Portugal and France this way, then we got Brazil in the semis and their flair based game undid us to a 5-0 defeat.

What is the best (most complete - with templates available) kits for Fm at the moment and where's the best place for kits in the internet at the moment?
it's the one thing since getting back into fm that I haven't understood.

I've been using the same kit database since at least 3-4 iterations of the game I haven't updated them in a while, so I really don't know where to find one. Last time I downloaded one I think it was from Susie and on torrent format, but that might have been the facepack as well and I'm mixing things.

This is how Juventus stays champions forever. I've never seen a goalie go for anywhere near that much.

If you think Blumberg is bad, take a look at Kolodziej. Once a kid with potential, now a B team regular.

Wow. OK, I assumed they meant tearing the bone, I didn't realise the term 'knee cap' referred to the tendon as well. Every day's a school day!

Gluteus minimus strain, out for nine days. Gluteus maximus strain, out for eight days. Mrs Kolodjiej needs to calm herself, her husband can't keep up!

If you're going to be a bogey team to anybody, it might as well be Bayern Munich. That's 7 points in 4 games.
