What the thread says.

Yeah I play FM2008.

On my 3rd season as the USA gaffer. Won the Gold Cup and Confederations Cup thus far, and sitting top of my group for WC qualification.

Ya I had the demo and I played as spurs new manager and didn't have any background and boy did the players think I couldn't get the job done. Me and berbs even openly in the papers had some spats. Pascal wanted to go and I guess Berbs was kinda high on him and it started. Juve actually offered me 25 mil for him and berbs was into it. Too bad the demo stopped before I could see how it was going to play out.

I did transfer Defoe to Portsmouth for a whooping 17 mil and then I picked up Huntsleer(sorry for the spelling) and he had 9 goals in 5 games. I thought it was a pretty good transfer and worked out. Im hoping to order the American version over the net very soon.

Win it for us!!! Also its good to see Freddy getting some run and also what formation are you playing with? If you win will you take your managerial skills to a club...... Spurs perhaps? How are spurs doing anyway in your game? Last thing is Jozy Altidore in the side. Sal Zizzo is also a good talent. Who is the keeper Guzan or the reliable Tim Howard?

1) Depends on who's healthy, I typically run with a 3-4-3 or a 4-3-3.
2) I probably will, however Spurs just filled a vacany during the World Cup. :(
3) Altidore is not in the squad yet, i'm going to give him a run in our post-WC friendlies.
4) Timmy is having an amazing tournament, I hope he sticks around for a while.

Where would you go if Spurs wasn't available and you wanted to move on? Any other clubs strike your fancy.

[electrickeeper]

Any of the 4 clubs on my favorites, however I could be persuaded to go to any club with a large transfer budget. :D

[Hauler]

So you would go MLS? Even if you won 1st in World Cup. I think Spurs would open up a spot for you. Sheff Weds. might be a good test for you as well. Tell ne how the WC played out.

[ngower]

I have an MLS game with New England, but there is a ridiculous bug that got me fired despite winning the Supporter's Shield:mad:

I'm boycotting the game until a patch is released.

[Hauler]

What game do u have? Is it Football manager or worldwide soccer manager 2008 of course for both titles?

[ngower]

Fm 2008

I hope that you got a lot of praise. Dude in my demo version(hoping to get the real one of a dnload) I can never get the team to play right. Im always mid table and can't get the team to play right. Mr. Levy was angered with me for all the money I spent.

Grats on the title though.

[Hauler]

Well I got the full game and Im in my third season.

1. I finished 6th in league and had a decent run in cups.
2. I finished 5th and did very well in comps.

On my 3rd season and had some great youth players that were coming up the ranks and now they start. Lot of attacking players. Got rid of Chimbonda, Lee, Gardener, Defoe, Steed, Tanaio, and I think thats it. Just beat Liverpool 5-1 at there place but then I lost to Man U at home 1-0. Put a new Attacking Strat in and I whipped ass. Got a new 3 year deal cause of my pickups. I did make a questionable decison and got Giles Barnes. Paid 39 mil US to get him but I think that will pay out in the coming years. Once I get the names of the people that I picked up I will let you know.

Oh and Dawson also is gone. Im trying to take the team to the next level and they were not helping.

[electrickeeper]

Sevilla hired a new manager.

;)

[Hauler]

Sweet.

[Hauler]

Hey Electric is there any way that we can play each other? If so let me know cause it would be fun to play on a network or something.

[electrickeeper]

I am not totally sure, but I will try to read up on it when I get home this evening.

Check that, it's possible.

I'll set up a game when I get back.

As a side note, they are releasing Football Manager Live in early 2008, which is going to be epic.
