exchampionsfan Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Good luck with this. People were complaining in the other thread about too many 'regulars' but I think you've got a good balance. It can't be completely noobs because you need a few people to 'guide them through' at first and also you want a good mix so that everyone gets to know eachother.

Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 France have announced an unexpected name in their European Squad for the defense of their European Championship. A little known Manager from England called Paul Bray, The French governing body felt a change was needed before this championship. Bray spoke about his appointment: "I am very pleased to be given such a post as this, It makes me very proud and I hope to retain the trophy although it will be a hard competition especially with the quality of Countries within the tournament" Bray has also announced his final 22 to take to Portugal to face Italy, Scotland and Sweden in Group A. "In Goal I have picked Fabien Barthez, Ulrich Reme and Mickael Landreau" "My Defenders are Mikael Silvestre, William Gallas, Lilian Thuram, Philippe Mexes, Willy Sagnol, Vincent Candela and Boumsong" "My Midfielders are Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Steed Malbranque, Laurent Robert, Zinedine Zidane, Claude Makelele, Kapo and Jerome Rothen." "And finally my Attackers are Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and Djibril Cisse." I look forward to a rewarding campaign. Thankyou.

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 The Dutch Masters The nation held its breath when the appointment of a new manager brought a shock non-netherlander to the helm of the mighty dutch. Manager McGuinness promised a return to Total Football, with a hint of Gullit's sexy football thrown in. When someone asked if this meant he was totally sexy, the manager couldnt disagree. Firstly, the squad was simply too old. Understandably, the experienced campaigners are required at big tournaments, but the decision was taken to replace veteran campaigners Reiziger , De Boer and Ricksen with more talented, younger players like Zonnenveld, Klompe and Oude-Kamphuis , whos quiet yet brilliant performances in the Bundesliga had brought him to the attention of some of Europes big clubs. Up front, the quandary of Van Nistelrooy and Kluivert loomed once more, but with Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Roy Makaay both challengeing for spots, it was felt a rotation of the two would see Holland comfortably. through. In midfield , the dynamo that is Edgar Davids would be crucial, covering the back 3 and releasing the potent wing threat of Van Der Meyde and Robben against unsuspecting and unprepared defences. In goals, the decision was made to rest star goalie Edwin Van Der Sar for the in form Sander Westerveld. Van Der Sar may have thrown a few plates in private at this, but publicly was fully behind the manager, and on this footing, Holland strode majestically onto the biggest stage in Europe, a nation expecting the return of the Van Basten/Gullit/Rijkaard era. Only time would tell if the orange hordes would once again rule Europe ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

birk Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I was appointed manager of Spain in this tournament. Looking forward to Euro 2004. The squad selected and the games begins. Beeing in a tough group, where the other teams are Russia,England and William Hills favorites Portugal. Spain meet Russia in first game. The game went underway and the Spains press the Russia side, but couldnt score a goal. Suddenly out of the blue a diver from Danishevski, and penalty. Sad to see that happen in a big tournament, but thats life 1-0 Russia. We score to 1-1. That was the score half way during the match. Spain keep pressing the Russians, but no goals. Away break to the Russians and 2-1 to them. The game ended 2-1 I must congrats to the Russian manager and for my team There are some rumours here in Portugal that the referees have meet mr Kozak on a nightclub the night before, but no evidence. It will now be hard to move on from this group, but we will do our best, and what more can a team do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo1812 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Scotland v France Scotland the certain underdogs here scored in the 1st minute through Neil McCann. The 10 minutes later it was 2-0 through a Patrick Vieira own goal which was just deflected. In the second half Lillium Thuram got one back and with around 1 minute to go, Anelka scored to shatter Scotlands dreams or beating the reigning champions. But whatever happens, this was an amazing result for Scotland! Who needs McFadden ey?!!! France 2 - 2 Scotland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelfastNiall Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Portugal got off to a winning start in Euro 2004 in their opening game against Matt Hooker's England team. A 2-0 victory was sealed by a Figo goal and a late Emerson penalty. However with two tough games against Spain and Russia to come, the Portugal manager still feels that to reach the Quarters would be an achievement in itself...
