Career England Win World Cup 2018 - The Three Lions Roar Again!

[SSolas]

Good Evening All,

This post is to explain how I managed the England football team to do something it has not done since 1966, win the World Cup! The images and Video below help document how this incredible feat happened.  This is the journey of how England dared to dream and won the jackpot!

So i started as England Manager controlling the last few qualification games and friendlies. In true England fashion, we made this harder than it needed to be with draws at Slovenia & Malta. I felt like this might be an impossible task.

Once Qualified, we had relatively easy friendly games against Faroe Islands and South Africa to get us ready for Russia. We won both games and the team was begining to take shape - South Africa 2-1 and Faroe Island 2-0. Great confidence booster going into the biggest cup.

*** For this Entire Save i have used my Tiki Taka Tactic and my usual process adapted to England ***

The World Cup Tactic - My Tiki Taka System

 

Group Stages

We started the 2018 Russia World Cup with a relatively difficult group with Brazil(Favourites), Ireland and Saudi Arabia.  We got off to the best start possible, beating Brazil comfortable 2-0 followed by wins against Ireland and Saudi Arabia. Although confident, England do have a track record of letting us down and felt cautious about the great start made - Still plenty of football to play to win!

Second Round

The Second Round drew us against another one of the tournement favourites and historical enemy - Germany. As seen below, the England players played out of their skin with the combination of Alli, Wilshire=passing..Welbeck,Sterling running and Kane finishing , we were unstoppable beating our nemesis by 1-0.  So far beating Brazil and Germany, our confidence was up and we knew we had a force to be reckoned with.

Quarter Finals

For the Quarter Finals we were handed Wales which appeared easier but 1) They had got to the Quarters beating france and 2) They were not so easy in Euro 16! This all being said, The team and nation rose to the challenge winning 2-0, everyone putting in world class performances, even bright player - Alfie Mawson who is now on my radar. Can England go all the way or is this the calm before the storm?

Semi Finals

For the Semi Finals, we faced Poland and Lewandovski, a team who are energetic, creative and have Goals in them! As seen below, Our Tiki Taka system was still working and the team still gelling perfectly! Welbeck and Sterling controlling the wide area's and Kanes finishing really did make us invincible and Poland, even if they knew our system, had no reply to the quality of our play. My heart literally was doing flips at this stage, for once in my life, England had not hid or slipped up but came 100% to this party, we were not just getting wins but some of the best football ive ever played on FMM! We were ready for the Final whoever it was..

The World Cup Final

The Final came around and we were to face ITALY. Italy has got the best Goal Scoring in the Cup and Won every single game, the same as us. They had assigned Ancelotti as Manager who has a career built on wining the biggest matches, a proven winner! The match was fairly even with good chances for both sides, but we definitly edged it in terms of desire. Up until the 33rd minute, Italy showed how defensively sound they were keeping out chance after chance. Finally Harry Kane got the goal we so badly needed - Our hero had arrived. The second half was mostly italy with a barrage of chances, all excellent and all in dangerous positions. The 66th minute and a cross swings in from Italy...IMMOBILEEEE......GOALLL!!!!!! But the ref stated Offside - we were still in this game, our hands on the Cup, under 25mins to go and we'd secured a spot in history. A tense 20 mins after this until in the 88th minute, our Hero stepped up again and stuck a dagger in Italians fans hearts. The Whistle blew..Fans Roared, England had reached the top of the mountain and claimed the Top Cup in the game. England had Won World Cup 2018 in Russia!!

Enjoyable read 👍 

I bet we'll see an increase in WC careers this period. I'm also inclined to do the same with Holland 😏

Cheers Baltigoal.

I added more pictures to make the article more appealing.

I think the World Cup is great to play on FMM and very challenging despite how above made it look.

It was one of those times that all 11 players were in sync and worked perfectly in the system.

Defence and Goalkeeper were solid and showed real grit, esp in the final against Italy.

The Midfielders were key with Alli and Wilshire such good passers to provide Sterling and Welbeck who are hard working, pacy and skillful. 

What can i say about Kane, enough quality to provide set ups and one of the best finishers in the world.

I know it is only a game but the scouting system is being used by Real Clubs around the world. Players like Mawson surprised me big time and Butland/Sessignon who are definitly ready for a big push. In other thoughts, i am surprised Wilshire has been left out by southgate, he is a top passer for England!. Finally, i would love England to play this beautiful on the floor style BUT even if not that, the Wingers scream that we should focus on this area, Welbeck and Sterling along with Walker and Sessignon will not stop running and trying hard for the team! 

What are other people thinking from this save?
