If you're struggling to find players for your squad, use www.transfermarkt.co.uk and search for players from your country, it should give you several options for your squad.

Each country is allowed to call up a maximum of FOUR legends from days gone by (seeing as it's a fantasy tournament).

The definite rule on Legends.

Players who are currently still active can be called up as legends, but it will take up one of your 4 legends spaces. Also the four legends in your squad must be labelled as legends to signify they are your four legends in their prime. I agree that it might be better if it was purely players who had retired, but I will leave the rule open so anyone could choose someone from years gone by or recent times. It widens the pool of players to be honest.

For example, Thierry Henry would be the guy running around the MLS, but Thierry Henry (Legend) would be the guy in his prime at Arsenal. And no, you can't have two of the same player (one as legend and one as normal) as that would be stupid.

I just checked myself and noticed you'd already researched it!

I mistook Netherlands's 4-0 win over Denmark as Germany's win which was only 2-0, so i'll correct it.

I knew you'd avoid Russia somehow Wink

by **Hero** Fri May 11, 2012 10:10 am

Russia v Germany, it's like the war on the Eastern Front all over again.

by Marky Fri May 11, 2012 10:10 am

Group B corrected.

And as far as Group D goes, Ukraine and Sweden had identical points, identical goal difference, identical goals scored.

Sweden qualify due to Ukraine v England being abandoned as neither side got tactics in. My game my rules.

by **Hero** Fri May 11, 2012 10:14 am

Have you got the semi's right?

Usually in these cup competitions you cannot face the team from your group until the final so it in one semi it would QF 1 v QF 3 and the other QF2 v QF 4.

by Marky Fri May 11, 2012 10:37 am

I thought so too, but I was going off of the UEFA website.

That's pants!
So basically in RL Holland and Germany will duke it out in the group and then possibly meet again in the semi.

by Marky Fri May 11, 2012 10:42 am

Yep.

UEFA's man sausage-up, not mine!

by Marky Fri May 11, 2012 10:42 am

Basically, the final will be one from Group A and Group B, and one from Group C and Group D.

by **Crimey** Fri May 11, 2012 6:40 pm

Do I have Germany or Portugal? Laugh

by Marky Fri May 11, 2012 6:41 pm

Portugal. I originally figured it out to be Germany but Hero corrected me.

by President Trump Mon May 14, 2012 10:12 am

When are the tactics for the Quarters to be up??

by Marky Mon May 14, 2012 10:56 am

Should be today (every Monday...) but say tomorrow 5pm.

by President Trump Mon May 14, 2012 12:33 pm

Cool

by The Special Juan Mon May 14, 2012 11:03 pm

Marky remind me tomorrow.

by Bull Tue May 15, 2012 7:35 am

i have an exam and then im staying after school for revision mate.

by Marky Tue May 15, 2012 8:18 am

Yeah, that should be ok.

P.S. TSC, don't forget to do your tactics.

by The Special Juan Tue May 15, 2012 3:55 pm

You never reminded me!!

Me v Germany, I'm on it.

by Marky Wed May 16, 2012 7:01 am

7 lots of tactics, meaning;

France 0-2 Italy (default win)

And three games to vote on. If you're a part of one of the matches, vote on the other two and not your own.

Will sort out the voting page in a bit.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed May 16, 2012 7:29 am

DEFAULT WIN Yahoo

FORZA ITALIA! SEMI FINALS HERE WE COME Yahoo

by The Special Juan Wed May 16, 2012 10:16 am

When are they due in?

by Marky Wed May 16, 2012 10:17 am

Voting page updated with the three fixtures.

Voting open until I add up the results and confirm the semi finals on Friday morning.

by cherriesfna Wed May 16, 2012 10:35 am

guys sorrs busy i can get them in @ 1ish or u can c+P

by Marky Wed May 16, 2012 10:45 am

Cherries, get them up ASAP and it's up to Olly as he's your opponent.

by cherriesfna Wed May 16, 2012 12:25 pm

ive got exams ATM

by Marky Wed May 16, 2012 12:27 pm

Then you could have taken 1 minute to copy and paste old tactics before Tuesday's deadline if it's that much of an issue.

by The Special Juan Wed May 16, 2012 1:31 pm

Have to mark cherries down on this:

"Right we are the french, and we wont surrender"

It's just not true! Anyone else loving how this whole thing is about war jokes?

by **Hero** Wed May 16, 2012 1:58 pm

Well that's no fun as I'm Portugal, we just abstained.

by President Trump Wed May 16, 2012 2:23 pm

Are we including the Frace/Italy game in our votes now or was CF too late??

by cherriesfna Wed May 16, 2012 2:25 pm

i counts

by The Special Juan Wed May 16, 2012 2:57 pm

It's up to olly.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed May 16, 2012 7:38 pm

How serious is this? If it is serious deadlines should be met, if not that serious then it can be waived. It doesn't take two mins to copy and paste tactics

by **Hero** Wed May 16, 2012 8:36 pm

Yeah come down hard on his ass Olly!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed May 16, 2012 8:39 pm

Yep I have decided that cherries won't be allowed as he missed the deadline. Not that hard to copy and paste tactics, hell I did it!

(PS. If Holt would have been selected in the Euro squad my mood would have been decidedly better and you would have gotten away with it. But he didn't so. Tough.)

As I'm only on my phone, its harder to sort out the scores.

If anyone else fancies sorting out the votes feel free, if not I'll do it tomorrow morning.

No mistake, but well done for getting Sweden to the Quarter Finals, the real life team won't do that well.
