Has anyone done a team guide for a national side! I'm scottish but i'm playing as England and I understand why McLaren stuggled, I've found england hard to use, because paul robinson is so **** (DJ is injured)

I've conceded 5 goals in 2 games (4-2 against Israel, 3-3 Russia)

Team:

Robertson (Preferably David James)

Micah
Terry
Rio
Cole

Becks
Gerrard
Lampard
Downing

Rooney
Owen

4-4-2 attacking.

I won my friendly against Germany with that team but with DJ in goals (it was 2-0), so I am suspecting the Robinson is the weakest link.

its a very realistic game. . .

JAStewart

Yeah except France beat Scotland in Paris! Thats not real at all

scotland got through to semis in euro 08 on mine

have a look at ben foster for england

Panathinakos

james is the better kepper, but his injured you said so either go green or foster as the next keeper

Oh and I lost that German game 3-0 at the start. My tactics needed serious tweaking. Leaked a few goals for my first few games. Thankfully now the team is pretty solid at the back. (removed Rio ha ha)
