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.

maybe they should hire me as manager?

Marky any news on votes etc?
Know Tooze has a fair bit on his plate atm so happy to extend if he needs time.

you happy for me to get them up this afternoon Hero?

Sure no problem.
As long as they're pants and I win

I could always just write put the ball in the net again

If Tooze gets his tactics in this afternoon, i'll sort the voting page later today and the voting deadline will be Friday, with results following.

Lets try and get some of the other managers to vote too...

Scared them off Marky

You can only beat what is put in front of you, and I have done so far!

I will sort out the voting page for the final some time later today, voting will be over the weekend and the winner crowned on bank holiday Monday.

The 3rd/4th place playoff was cancelled seeing as neither Ireland or Portugal submitted tactics, so they will just be known as losing semi finalists...

Sorry didn't realise there was a 3rd place play off! Thought I was just out and that was it

I mentioned it a few times Hero.

But to be fair, there isn't a 3rd/4th place match in the real Euros.

Totally my fault should have seen it on the fixture list, was planning on being in the final so blanked it out

I was expecting you to beat me TBH
Its the simple rule of strikers put the ball in the net that does it

There was a 3rd/4th Playoff??? ooops

You certainly fleshed out the tactics from the first time so it was justified in the semis and I have no qualms there, Germany v Italy is a deserving final.

Drumroll please.

Congratulations to Germany, commiserations to Italy, and many thanks to everyone who took part

Lets be honest Olly, the current Italy side might struggle to even get out of their group, so fair play on making the final (quarter final by default )

Just proves I am a tactical genius

(Don't blame me for people not doing tactics on time.)
