Lovely... so far.

I am going to find their servers and set fire to the specific chip that houses your team's data.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Any Italian who passes him the ball should be dropped from the next game.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I swear to God, if Switzerland also deny me two clean sheets I will book a ticket, fly to Rome, and slap every single one of them.

Including the subs.

 

[Rebelda]

Loving your fury LC

 

[Lord Camomile]

I've had a can of Coke

 

[Sue]

Is it about now I confess to my granny being Italian..?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, cool, well there goes my captain off the pitch...

He will also be being subbed out of my XI as soon as the option becomes available

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not a bad game, though

 

[Kaka Tim]

switzland are always consistently meh. Italy looking very good

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeeeaaah, you just keep on walking, you....

I’ve enjoyed the liberation of watching footie without fantasy... now I’m missing it a bit tbh

Too late now obvs but is it any good?

 

[Badgers]

Think that might be done

Depending on your preferences, the fact that you can change captains and sub players on/off (as long as those coming on haven't played yet) does add an extra tactical element that I quite like, as I suppose it gives you a little more margin for error and a chance to recoup some losses.

Mmmmmmm yes, I like the sound of that. Same point structure?

 

[purves grundy]

Ehhhhhhh

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fundamentally, I guess. No bonus points, though.

Transfers?

 

[Lord Camomile]

"And the referee brings to an end a shameful evening for the Italians. I imagine they'll have a lot of angry people sitting on the sofa in their pants to answer to"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Transfers?

Two each "matchday", but you get a wildcard chip aaaaand... a limitless chip! Limitless transfers, but also limitless funds!

That's what I'm on this round, but I ballsed it up by going triple England instead of triple France 'cause I just put Mount in while I worked out what French players I wanted to bring in

E2A: sorry, two each matchday is just the groups; you also get unlimited transfers between group stages and round of 16, and then I think extra ones for subsequent rounds too as teams keep dropping out.

 

[two sheds]

So that's 32 goals Italy has scored since they let one in?

 

[Thaw]

Big fan of Italy so far. Nice tempo for the first goal with slowly passing it around at the back and then BOOM.
Spanish should watch and learn.

The Italians look the business. Manuel Locatelli is my new favourite player. Two cracking goals, especially the first - echoes of Scholes and Lampard but classier than both, naturally. He also looks a bit like Marcus Aurelius so it's fun pretending there's a Roman Emperor dominating midfield.
