I'm sorry for wishing to sell you Thiago. Also, I wonder what those angsty Tackleford fans are feeling now especially this rear end in a top hat. habeasdorkus posted:14': Eustace Boyce writes from Tackleford "Brown got sacked because he was the type of guy like AVB who promises the moon if you give him a Ferrari and then proceeds to drive it like a yugo." How's that yugo now huh?

Mordovia! They were two leagues down when I visited Saransk in 2010. I stayed with a family that had a kid in their feeder team and he gave me one of his old jerseys. I still have it.

Appendix: The Year in Football/Futbol/Fußball/Calcio/Soccer, 2026-2027 June 1, 2027 All my angst in March and April aside, that was a stunningly successful season. Wrexham   Next year should be similarly exciting, we'll return most of our best players and young prospects like Damgaard and Pickee have given us reason to expect good showings in the future. England  I'm disappointed Southampton couldn't crack the top five, but they still get a European qualification.  Meanwhile Bolton Wanderers are back in the Premier League, while Tackleford had a strong consolidation year and should be in contention for promotion.  Colwyn Bay still seems a ways from making it up the ladder, but I expect they'll keep improving as they are able to bring in better talent.  Curse you Manchester United! It would have been really neat to see a Swansea/QPR final, considering that Queens Park Rangers weren't even in the Premier League this season.  It was nice to play someone other than Manchester United for a trophy, I'm glad that we won't have to face them in the Community Shield next year. Europe  As expected, Real Madrid wins the league.  Roma can claim their first title in something like a quarter century, knocking off the Neapolitan dynasty and holding off Juventus as well. If Wolfsburg overcame Bayern in the Bundesliga, TheMcD wins the prediction contest runoff.  And win they did, by a full four points over Bayern. Congratulations TheMcD!  No surprises here, although Ajaccio's new moneybags owner did get them into the Champions League qualifying rounds.  Braga have now won three of the last four seasons in Portugal, and look like they've become a real force.  Rubin Kazan are tops in Russia while the Red Army Boys of CKSA Moscow fell all the way out of continental qualification.  Another Ajax win, how dull.  Perhaps we'll draw Club Brugge in the group stage next year, at which point I'll waste far too much of my time coming up with an homage to In Bruges.  Fenerbache ran away with things in the Turkish league, like us they only lost once all season.  I haven't seen A Tartan Tory around recently, but he'll be happy that Rangers are back atop Scotland.  A lack of upsets in the Champions League group stage led to an exciting competition for the Europa League this season, as the semifinals were contested by teams from Russia, the Netherlands, and Portugal. Unfortunately the game doesn't model the recent rules change that the Europa League winner gets Champions League qualification, so FC Twente will be stuck returning to the Europa League. It's still a huge accomplishment for the small club from Enschede, and for their American star Hunter Fisher.  We outscored our opponents in the knockout rounds 18-3. I don't think there's much more to be said about our dominance than that. Asia & Australia  Seoul seems like the class of the Korean League. This is hardly their first title.  The Melbourne clubs both lived up to their names, with the lesser one proving that Heart isn't really that great a power.  Seoul will be back in the Club World Cup next year after overcoming the Urawa Reds, who's claim to fame is that they have viciously racist supporters. Which is kind of too bad, I'd love to meet up with Urawa and have them lose 10-0 to our extremely multicultural club. North America  It's weird seeing the LA Galaxy at the bottom of the table, especially considering how much backing they get from the honchos at MLS when it comes to designated player signings. That same backing is why it's not a shock to see the Seattle Sounders win.   Atlas take both the opening and closing stages of Liga MX, but it's nice to see that fallen giant Club America is at least decent again. Atlas has been a huge success over the past decade, racking up title after title.  Liga MX will probably surpass MLS in reputation after an all Mexico final that Atlas dominated in pulling off what's essentially a triple. South America  Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, Gremio. This time around no one had any chance of catching Flamengo, who topped the table by 15 points.   Velez are essentially the Atlas of Argentina, or vice versa, having won either the apertura or clausura in each of the last five or so years.  Aww, Gremio didn't actually win the Libertadores. They fell in the final to Mexican club Chivas, but since Chivas is ineligible to earn a spot in the Club World Cup by winning the Libertadores, Gremio went instead. Chivas is, of course, owned by the same people who own Chivas USA. International  I still have nightmares about giving up a three goal lead to Australia.  But I can't begrudge them the great year they had internationally, an AFC Cup and a World Cup Quarterfinal appearance is highly impressive for the nation.  The African Cup of Nations took place this year as well, with Algeria coming out on top. In real life the semifinals of the Cup of Nations are just taking place now, with the Democratic Republic of Congo taking on Cote d'Ivor and the hosts Equatorial Guinea- having gotten to the semifinals thanks to some incredibly suspicious refereeing in their quarterfinal match- going up against Ghana. And that's the state of World Soccer. See you all for the 2027-2028 season. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Feb 4, 2015 |

I wonder when we're going to take on Tackleford again. I thought we'd eventually face them in a Cup match at some point over the years. Do they just get bounced out early. Also, can we get a team report? I sense that Wrexham is transitioning to its next generation of players.

How do some of those Euro leagues determine CL and EL qualifications? It seems a bit random at times.

Dreamsicle posted:I wonder when we're going to take on Tackleford again. I thought we'd eventually face them in a Cup match at some point over the years. Do they just get bounced out early. I'd be interested in seeing where Tackleford has gotten bounced out of the cups. At least since they've been in the CL, they should be entering the FA Cup in the same round as us, so just luck of the draw I suppose. In the League Cup I'm pretty sure that most seasons they would have to get through a couple rounds before they could even face us (since teams that qualify for European competition pass through to the third round). E: How do leagues with an Apertura and Clausura determine relegation? Looking at Liga MX, it looks like maybe it's just combined points, but I can't figure out anything that makes sense for Argentina. Loser of the apertura, loser of the clausura, and ??? Lanús finished above Banfield in both stages, and had more combined points than a couple of other teams, but ended up relegated. Not My Leg fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Feb 4, 2015 |

From Wikipedia about the Argentinian Premier Division. "Relegation is based on an averaging system. At the end of each season, the two teams with the worst three-year averages and the worst positioned team in the season table are relegated, and the best team in the Primera B Nacional is promoted while the promotion of the other two is yet to be decided. There will be three promoted teams per season. Newly promoted teams only average the seasons since their last promotion." They average out league places basically so one bad year won't relegate you but 3 years of mediocrity might.

PM or post here, and I'm pretty liberal with the changes allowed. No destroying teams, and nothing where I have to go back every couple of months and reset something, and if I think it's too unbalancing I'll veto it, but your imagination is largely the limit. Dreamsicle posted:I wonder when we're going to take on Tackleford again. I thought we'd eventually face them in a Cup match at some point over the years. Do they just get bounced out early. I'll do the team report in the next couple updates. As for Tackleford, they've had pretty early exits in the League Cup and FA Cup the last few years. They've lost in the League Cup before we entered something like four of the last five years, and only made it past the third round of the FA Cup twice... when they promptly lost in the fourth round. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Chivas is, of course, owned by the same people who own Chivas USA. To clarify this, Chivas USA and Chivas de Guadelejara are no longer owned by the same person in real life. The Mexican owner sold the club to MLS right around the start of last year, with the plan being that MLS would sell the team to a new owner and rebrand. The actual deal ended up quite a bit more complicated, but basically Chivas USA was "bought" at the end of last season, but rather than rebranding, it is being wound up (it's players were dispersed to other teams) and it will be replaced by the expansion LAFC in 2017. Of course, I presume that AU Jorge Vergara still owns both teams in the Habeasverse. Not My Leg fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Feb 4, 2015 |

No, I have my own project in mind, though it would end up potentially helping Scotland, England, Germany and Australia on the international scene. The Netherlands as well, though not as much.

This 'Eustace Boyce' fellow doesn't understand that when you drive a Ferrari like a Yugo you prolong the longevity of the Ferrari so you won't have to replace it every drat year.* That type of thinking is why The Red Dragons are the Gods of Soccer and Tackleford's a bunch of wannabes. They wish we'd give them our worst players. *I am under the impression when you drive like you have a Yugo you drive conservatively. Also I propose we give Thiago a new nickname: Thiagoal.

Wrexham's listed as having between 100k-250k people. That's a favorable accounting, considering that I think real life Wrexham has 65k.
