Rivals matches are all about motivating your players. You can have a rubish team and still wallop them if you motivate them right. Fucking bollocks sometimes.

No, there was something about CCM in FM10. I think perhaps the home ground advantage was set too high for them because they always overperformed with mediocre players. Brad Porter turned into a gun too.

Matt Simon always dominated. Very unrealistic

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Just led Vaduz to an unbeaten season in the Swiss League, and finished as quarter-finallists in the Champions League. Tough to do better than that with their tiny stadium. Hoping continued success will mean a shiny new stadium for us.

Our success has also meant the Liechtenstein national team have some pretty damn good new recruits, who have taken up citizenship... they're currently second in their group for the WC qualifiers.
