I didn't think you could make international players retire???

I'm thinking that they were on bot teams and the teams were taken over by new managers or they were fired and not picked up as free agents. Just a guess. Either way it messed up my World Cup. Oh well.

If you fire a player they could choose to retire or go to free agency, they probably chose retirement. Firing an international player during a World Cup is a bad move.

I thought that they went to FA... did they not implement that? That could hurt some NT's if coaches can send players to retirement seconds before kick-off (eg. 1 hour and 1 second before kickoff as all games are simulated on the server an hour before kickoff.)

NT players are always included on TM as free agents. Never seen something different from that.

Interesting games in group D.

Denmark is cruising against a botted Spanish offence, but needs points to catch up with Serbia and Brazil.

Right now, all three teams will end 2-1 with this point spread:

Serbia : 2-1 +26 points
Brazil : 2-1 +50 points
Denmark : 2-1 +32 points

Can just hope that the Serbia - Brazil game does not end close. Need one team to win or Denmark to score two more td's...

Updated 12:56

Serbia in attack and Denmarks attack stalled....

Serbia punted and Spain threw an INT. Looks like Brazil will take first place and Denmark will take second place. Tough luck for Serbia that looked so convincing against Denmark.

Like so many times before I failed miserable Poor tactic decisions as offensive mistakes made this easy for Brasil to win.

Congrats to Brasil and Denmark for qualifying to the quarterfinals.

Cheers

To be fair this game is a massive lottery, in fact the lottery may be fairer

You could be Bill Belichick but that counts for squat squat squat in this hill-billee game

I have seen world cup games finish 94 - 101 final scores, and teams with much much weaker sides that in-explicably win, or weaker teams win with 100% run against 100% pass teams, again with much stronger teams that lose, because they ran instead of pass.

Currently you have to just stack your defensive line with DL players, 1) Play the run on offence, 2) Hope you have home field advantage (as that is a massive in this game) and 3)Remember to check your line up to make sure you have no injuries or retirements.

Also on top of this you have to hope that any teams that have your international players do not over train them and drop their fitness levels as they become as useless as the admins in this game and unusable.

You have maybe 2-3 seasons with a top player before he is fried in this game, that is assuming you are one of the big teams nations, that has loads of teams in their nations otherwise you are toast again.

A wicked way to even things up would be for each Nation to have a draft style pick once chosen for the National team has a manager, then any players could be chosen from any nation for a team, evening up and making the game more exciting.

But as someone who has played this game longer then jesus has floated around said, admins don't exist, and if they do they are absolute

I am saving my money up to break the transfer record, when i have tons of cash i am going to buy the best player i can for a disgusting amount of money, just because i can i am thinking maybe 50 million - 100 million not sure yet, just warning in advance .

Then sit back and laugh at all the people that call me a cheat, it's wrong, it's what ever

Anyhow good luck
