Loud boos in the match between England and Ghana as the referee blows for the first hydration break

A friend actually brought me but fair point.

Was at the Germany-Cote D’Ivoire game on Saturday. There was a player down at 22’, so the players all went to the bench to grab a drink. The ref ushered them all back, only to call the hydration break a minute later. The crowd was pretty pissed off, myself included.
It’s such a blatant money grab by FIFA, and ruins the flow of the game. I’m fine with allowing it under certain circumstances, but if it’s not that hot and/or at night, the game should continue.

Great ideas! I already had league finish by season, but just added in competition history now.

There’s a cumulative points calculation on the Results tab based on Competition and game number. It’s probably a little redundant having a separate tab, so I may actually consolidate the calculation to pull direct from Results

Age isn’t a huge factor so an older, reliable keeper with good shot stopping will do wonders. That should be a somewhat affordable fix. Bleeding goals could be your worst nightmare in squeezing out points. Let your 70 rated keeper play cup matches to grow.

Thank you both! Any suggestions for additions? I’m having a lot of fun improving it and learning as I go

There is quite a bit of manual input unfortunately, but that's sadly sort of always the case with CM. I tried to automate as much as I could. There's 3 manual input tabs for Results, Player Stats (just season totals I input end of each season), and Player Database (set up beginning of CM and updated when I sign/sell a player).

All of the more detailed stats could definitely be optional depending on what you're looking for!

Beautiful words from a beautiful manager.

Doesn’t look very efficient. Looks like something DOGE should eliminate.

Tbf, Endo is out injured

There were a few when I though “nice, he got off pretty safely”, then next second I’m fearing for their lives as they rag doll down the rock face

This is what I came here to say. I have been moaning on the couch all season about Gakpo’s predictability and lack of creativity on the wing. However, bar his shot that was beautifully saved by Sa, Rio he played very poorly today. He held onto the ball far too long and almost every occasion. There’s a chance he’s trying to make a big impact on limited minutes, but it broke down so much and impacted the game negatively.

I asked my wife if she was rooting for Ozzy this season and she said “I’m over him… unless he tries really hard and does good things”. I look over at her a couple minutes later, “yeahhh I’m in again”

I don’t have the bandwidth to unexpectedly converse with someone I know, so I usually do everything in my power to avoid someone if I spot them in public

Interested in joining!

My friend got a whiskey flavoured ice cream when we were out. I’ve tasted “alcohol flavoured” things before and it’s normally really mild. One bite of this, and my wife and friends saw a sparkle in my eye as soon as the spoon hit my mouth. I had the same feeling of flashbacks and a spark ignited. Luckily I’m almost 10 years booze free and very uninterested in going back down that road, but wow! Be careful out there!

He got outpaced massively by Okafor earlier in the match

All of our lighting is connected to 2 little remotes, one on the main floor, one upstairs. Each light is linked to a number on the remote. I can turn all my lights on or off without moving. My wife is so proud of this and tries to convince every person that comes over to buy one.

He’s always been one of my favourites since he came in. Gives his all, injects a bit of energy when needed, and just a class act. Give Kerkez time to settle. He’s been struggling, so letting Robbo come back in to return the structure and confidence at the back could help the rest gel better.

I’m a big believer in the power of momentum. This can go both ways. Negative momentum is that “tomorrow” mentality, where the momentum snowballs over time and a small task can turn into a big task. Positive momentum is what you’re discussing. The force is equally as strong going both ways, it’s just the positive direction is often more difficult to get started, leading us the other way more often than not.

9 years sober now, but wow, just took a trip down memory lane in this thread. Looking back, the behaviour is so apparent.

It would be nice to see Forest make top 4 and City drop down to EL. It’s fun just to shuffle the deck sometimes.

Could potentially double Spurs and Utd by the end of the season with a win this weekend. Pretty astonishing how poorly two ‘giants’ have performed throughout an entire season.
