Keep it under your hat, but there is a chance I'm going to get a call up to the England U18s soon...

I'm nowhere near the US U18s. Even after I voted for the manager who was running against the guy who runs the team I play for. Wanker.

It should come a snow surprises that being suffled from a SC to a DL meant my team lost 2-0 at home. I rated a 5.
I now have an 8% friend because of those interaction points. It'll be interesting to see how my morale reacts. Fitness all tomorrow, and next Sudnay morning, I'm in Sydney where my family is and it's time to go out with the family for fun. I have an unhappy face at the moment. It's been eleven days.
I am now a ML, having moved up the pitch from DL.

I have also been drafted into the England U18s. We have a game on Monday night, but I don't think I'll get on the pitch. There are a lot of midfielders called up, unfortunately for me.

Excitement abounds as the team I'm in has been taken over by a human manager. Unfortunately he seems to know the square root of shag all about what he's doing. So I put him right about needing to have the same training type three times in the same day.
On the plus side this makes the current team the best of both worlds. The benefit of team training combined with the chance to play first team football. Exciting times ahead. Oh yes.

Homer Hawkes has also been called into the U18 squad for the yanks, (an honour right there on par with appearing on Jim'll Fix It). The manager fooked up the first game, even though we won 5-0 by only calling up 18 players and only one keeper - an error he would have got away with if he wasn't such an acerbic arsehole, with a legion of players who don't like him waiting for any reason to bay for his blood.
He's coming up with all sorts of entertaining posts to plead for his managerial life with some people calling for an election for a new manager after just one game in charge. :humb:
Meanwhile, Homer is now :

I'm trying to stick with the team training as much as I can, but I know I have to veer off that track if I want to increase my position's core skills. I've already told the manager that and he was OK with it.

I told the national team boss I was leaving my team because they don't train tackling and got an email back about eight seconds later saying "Don't do that! I'll talk to your manager." Having a national team manager who doesn't want any problems is useful.

A training question again. I'm training three different things all on the same day, all week. Except the day after a game where it's all about fitness(which didn't work this time round for some reason). Is this right?
I should be joining a human based team I take it too?

Um.... I think you supposed to train the same thing all on the same day Sonic. What you're doing is the exact opposite of what you should be doing.

With regards to the international tonight, I'm not sure I'm going to get picked now. I misjudged the fitness drops and will only be at 93% fitness after the 1600h training. Our manager requested we all be above 95%.

My manager's got with the programme and has switched to 3 same seshes per day.
I've checked our U18 team and all the players there have at least 10 in their primary stat and loads more elsewhere. So no chance of me breaking through there any time soon. Also all our teams use 343 so I'll have to change my position once (or if at all) I'm in a position to get into one of the teams.

I forgot to mention, I played the second half in the friendly against the Ireland U18s on Monday and I rated a 5. I managed to get 11 interceptions and won half of my tackles, so I was fine with that.

I bought them clothes too. I'm also about 35% friends with the only teammate in my team. We are like that(holds up crossed fingers)

I'm above 90% with everyone that is still there. Some have moved onto other teams but are still ni the "relations" list. I'm not sure what to do with those.

I'd imagine if you can still use points with them, and you have some left, then use them on them. It's got to be good for your morale.

I don't particularly want to interact with the smelly bastards. They're not on my team, so they smell.

Hmmm ... one day's training in the middle magically converts me into a DC (no left side preference). Dunno about that, but at least it will mean that I can be picked for the national team. Should I ever get good enough.
