You can manage both at the same time. You won't get sacked from your club.

You can't manage Holland or Germany as SI doesn't have the licence or something.

That' strange as I got fired from milan when I accepted an offer to coach Mexico, then I had to start coaching a new team.

Been given the England job after euro 2008.

In my World Cup qualifying group I have:

Wales/Russia/Israel/Estonia and Armenia.

Results so far:

England 4 Israel 1
Russia 1 England 3
Estonia 0 England 4
England 11 Armenia 0

I know its only Armenia but still a good result with 10 men for 2nd half. Dirty Gerrard!! Wasn't a full squad decided to experiment a bit.

A bit? lol!

You might find different combos work best in your important games, but for me the best midfield partnership is Hargreaves-Gerrard.

Most of the other positions are pretty much nailed down for the WC too:
GK: Kirkland
DR: Richards
DC: Rio and Terry, although King has been great when one of them has been out
ML: Cole (Joey, of course!)
TM: Smithy
STq: Rooney

Lescott does well for me at DL so it's between him and Cole for there, and Walcott usually plays MR but is a little inconsistant there so want to give SWP and maybe Lennon a shot.

Crouch is probably better than Smithy, but I'm not going to not play Smithy and Crouch is overrated. Rooney misses quite a lot of chances but still scores plenty. Owen is usually injured and any other contenders (Defoe) haven't played enough to dislodge Rooney.

I experimented in my previous game not this one, not sure what I was thinking when I posted. hehe

I would normally have played Hargreaves but didn't seem the need to against Armenia, so went for creative players.

Lennon has been class for me, 4 in 4 he has. He finds himself at the far corner everytime unmarked to slot it into an empty net.

Heading into the 2014 World Cup now... I'll probably resign from England after that, then take on another nation.

[retired_smitkat]

Just took over as France manager in 2010. Its quite annoying i didnt get there in time to persuade Armand Traore and Gonzalo Higuain to play for France anyway the team looks very solid, my only weakness is the frontline.

GK: Costil
LB: Evra
CB: Gallas
CB: Mexes
RB: Clichy (retrained from Arsenal)
LM: Ben Arfa
CM: Bodmer
CM: Diaby
RM: Ribery
ST: Sinama-Pongolle (he's actually excellent)
ST: Anelka

on my save i hve a manager who is ireland boss. for euro 2008 qualifying, ireland were the top scoeres, kevin doyle got 14 but missed out with a few poor results towards the end. then in the world cupo 2010 qual, i finished second behind france, doyle once again top scorer. played israel in a playoff with a depleted team, 8 starters injured and a few players who would have come in for them were injurd aswell. 0-0 in israel and then at lansdowne road it was 0-0 again in 90 mins. Andy Keogh just couldnt finish, it was ridiculous, would take on their whole team but then miss the one on one. in the 120th minute, Ian Harte scored a belter of a free kick and we qualified.

My key players are: Kevin Doyle, Aiden McGeady, Steven Reid, Robbie Keane, Shay Given and Richard Dunne

how important are the backroom staff to international teams? in one game i got the england job (like everyone else) and theres already the u-21 manager, a physio and a coach or 2

but in another game, ive ben given the Ecuador job...and i HATE it! i have no staff at all and no one wants to join me when i ask them so i have to control the 2 youth teams too, and theres barely enough Ecuadorian players to make up the team! havnt got a single player who can defend either so its dead annoying! im going to wait a year or 2 until the world cup is over, then im going to quit them

but i just wanted to know how important the backroom staff are, cus theres no training option for international teams?

[zyx345]

It does seem cosmetic, but I've appointed Keano as my England ass.man on both my games for a bit of a laugh - but I get him managing the U-21s.
