I finally managed success on the
international stage in Football Manager 2013. Lead England to the 2022 World
Cup title. The final itself was the most loop-sided final ever.
At first, I didn’t want to lead
an international team, as it would take up too much time. In the end I decided
to give it a go since I’ve already won everything at club level.
Below are the screen captures of
the qualifying phase and the world cup run itself. I managed to go to the world
cup as a group winner, despite a late setback in which I lost 2 in a row, in
which I thought I managed a late draw against Serbia, only for them to score a
very late winner.
In the world cup group stage, I
was drawn with Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. Prior to the world cup,
media pointed out that a third of the squad were Spurs players. Well, I know
them and I’m using the same system, so why not use players I can trust. Two
wins and a draw saw me through to the second round.
The second pitted me against the
Dutch and we won 2-1. The quarter final matchup was against the holder Croatia
(yes the won the 2018 World Cup). I was 2 down at half time and staring at
defeat with 10 minutes left, until 2 late goals completed the comeback. The
semi-finals drew me against the French. Three goals in a 5 minute blitz sealed
my place in the final.
My opponents in the final were
the Americans. Yes, I too was surprised they made it this far. I went 3 up at
halftime and there was no looking as I went on to win 8-1. My striker Matthew
Eyre even helped himself to a hat-trick.
After the world cup, I resigned
from the England managerial post to concentrate on continuing my Spurs dynasty.
