I'm beginning to wonder what is going on, as the number of countries you can send scouts to, especially in South America, has shrunk to almost nothing. Yes, you can still scout for the academy, but not for first-team players.
If EA doesn't get its act together, it's going to be quite farcical soon.
Yes, I agree. On one hand we have the organization FIFA, who are SO tied up on having and maintaining a worldwide appeal. Even if the quality drops, it's all about including more teams/nations, referees from smaller leagues etc. And then we have EA, who are completely opposite, only focusing on Europe, well, and then the occational South American league, but not having the full inclusion to actually make it interesting. Sad. So much wasted potential.

Good win, especially with the dearth of shots you managed. The kind of shot conversion rate that most teams would envy, especially United IRL at the moment (bottom of the shot conversion table, at 7.4%!).
Looks like you have a good draw in the next round, too, before it gets tricky. - JustinCase01102 years agoSeasoned Ace

There are some proper players in both these African teams, but historically they should always be considered easier than the "giants". And with only half of the remaining 8 teams having won it before, we could be in for an upset here. I mean, with France out, Brazil not qualified etc.

Semi final against the Auld Enemey. Couldn't have set it up better, really.
Surely whoever wins that will face Germany, but you never can tell... - JustinCase01102 years agoSeasoned Ace

Especially after Mexico lost 2-1 to Finland in their first game and 3-0 to Spain in their second. But I have to say that their attacking trio, Vega, Giménez and Lozano have put some impressive numbers in so far.
Edit: Which is quite opposite to Kylian Mbappé, I might add. I did expect him to score at least 4 at tie Klose as the most scoring player ever in World Cup history. But he's scored 0 and only has one assist to show. What a let-down!
