Pole to Pole

Ok here's something I thought of last night when falling asleep not sure of the practicalities, but could be interesting.

Starting at either the North or South Pole, you have to work your way to the other side of the world.

Starting countries could be (From North, for South just reverse it):

Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Finland or Russia

Take a club from one of these countries, perferably from as far north as possible, and lead them to at least one domestic title.

When you are ready, its time to move south. Choose any country north of France, perferably Scotland, Denmark, Poland or Belarus but thats entirely up to you, its your journey. Win at least two domestic titles.


Time to move further south. Choose a country from France or below, preferably either France, Spain, Italy, or Portugal but again it's up to you. Win a domestic title.

(Note your choice of nations will make this challenge either easier or harder. You could go Iceland, Belarus, Greece if you wanted for a fairly easy ride or Norway, England, Italy for instance for a harder one.)

Time to move further south and your choice is now limited to South Africa or jumping across to any country in South America. Win a domestic title.

And finally you end up at Australia, where you must again win a domestic title.

As a final challenge take either the country you started with, or the country you ended with to the World Cup Finals and try to win it.


Variations

You could of course start south and work north.

You could start in Iceland, go to the USA next, then South America etc. Or, you could start in the USA, then go to Mexico and down that route or you could jump the atlantic back and forth.

At the end of the day, this is just a guideline, its entirely up to you how you get from Pole to Pole and will depend on your patience and PC. The only real rules here are, you must win at least one domestic title before moving and your next port of call must always be further south (or north).

If people try this one, could they add (PTP) at the end of their title. It help Raptor with his index.

By the way, the southern most country, whether starting there or ending there, does not have to be Australia. Chile, Argentina for instance could also work.

Going to try this for my first game on the laptop. Wish me bon chance.

PS: this may help the geographically challenged amongst us.

BarryLFC

World's northernmost Top-level football team is apparently Tromsø I.L., Tromsø, Norway (Norwegian Premier League) at 69°40′N 18°56′E

Yeah I have a game thats not quite started with Tromso. I had thought of Finland then realised that bit of Norway is nearer the north. At the other end , Chile or Argentina might the point. Unless someone starts a new club in Antartica

I might get round to doing a story on this, but it could take a fair while to complete I think.

I have also started on this challenge. However, updates will be slightly slow to come by, so I will start a thread when I have something substantial. As you can already see, my other threads are a bit neglected atm!
Moreover, I am off to India for a month (in a week's time), so there would be discontinuity in terms of the story!

I will give this a shot, hopefully i wont get bored with it like all my other games and maybe their will be a story on this.

I've started a game with Tromso and began by winning 3-0, 4-0, 3-0 against good teams, then winning against Rosenborg, so I was excited. Then I lost to the bottom team, so that's a bit rubbish.
