The League

[Freshmaker]

Running now.

First round:
Holland 0 - Germany (me) 2

Second round about to start.

Round 2. After a scrummy 1st half, ending at scary 1-1, Germany decided to switch on PBD, and secured a comfortable victory.

Germany 6 - 2 Spain

Round 3.

It seems Germany's got a thing for teams in yellow shirts. The game vs Sweden ended:

Germany 7 - 1 Sweden

Round 4 coming up.

[Freshmaker]

Round 4. England vs Germany. Many of the brits was chanting for Bobby Charlton, but for no luck.

England 1 - 10 Germany.

[Freshmaker]

Round 5. Scotland started really good, playing hard, defending well, but eventually they had to surrender to the German ko2-machinery.

Scotland 0 - Germany 6

[Freshmaker]

Round 6. France vs Germany.
Allthough the French took a heavy beating in the first half (Germany was up 3-0 after just 90 seconds), they managed to pull back and muster some sort of team-effort, holding the score steady for around 5 minutes. But in the end the Germans proved too strong.

France 1 - 6

Round 7. Italy vs Germany.

The Italians tried to get their catenachio going, but not even the camorra could've helped them in this match. Final result:

Italy 1 - 7 Germany

[Freshmaker]

As we're now at A=B the league was only play each other once.

so, the winners: Germany


Good night.

[Rodolfo]

I almost always played leagues, using Spain, renaming and modifying colours as Real Madrid. The best team among kick off national squads was Sweden.

[dnielsen]

There were 3 Danish championships back in 91-92 where the national teams were used. England and Spain were quite popular (you had to prepare two teams in case somebody chose your own first team), and I remember also one strong guy playing 532 with Sweden. Most countriees had something going for them though. It was easy to fall in love with a few key players and then try to mitigate the runtiness of some of the other players somehow.

Only England had R. Shaw though.

[Freshmaker]

True about R. Shaw. He really sticks out. And England also had a tremendous Lobber in L.A. Martyn. He's incredible on the mid-distance lobs.
I think what I like about Germany is their overall speed. They're not at R. Shaw's level, but all over they're solid.

[Lee W]

try E.Kemp in spain's squad, fast, awesome shot on him and great agility, hardly ever gets tackled or dropped... but, if he's fouled, he's a complete wuss

[dnielsen]

Indeed, E.Kemp was a formidable striker!
