I had one of those moments on FM that makes you think you’ve accomplished something amazing
Took over as manager of Colombia when they were 8th in qualifying. Qualified in the final game with a 1-0 backs to the wall win over Brazil. We would have been in the playoffs which I’m sure we would have won anyway.
got through a World Cup group consisting of Belgium, Poland and Honduras on goal difference (shit the bed in every game).
Somehow beat France in the last 16 with a penalty in the 85th minute. Beat Portugal in extra time 4-3 with a winner in the 120+4 minute. Which was great as Portugal equalised in the 120+2 minute (this happens far too often).
Went 1-0 down to Germany at half time, thought feck it I’ve gone further than expected and went all out attack second half (my tactics are counter attacking, playing for set pieces with a low block and time wasting
) and won 3-1 with James Rodriguez becoming Messi
The final was against Denmark, who had a fecking easy run (Austria, USA, Sweden) and thrashed them 4-1.
Now I’m not sure if I should resign or try to win the Copa America. I was trying to do a longer run with them and build a nation that will eventually win the World Cup but I did it first attempt which wasn’t what I wanted to do
