It was aimed at our friend in LA.

On another note I started a fresh FM game yesterday, thought with sdpm doing Barrow it would be bit silly doing another lower league English team just in case I do it as a dynasty so I picked FC Eindhoven from the Dutch leagues, not to be confused with PSV Eindhoven.

Picked them because their rivalry with PSV is like Celtic and Rangers, down to religion, also picked them as they wear Wigan Athletics historical kit of blue and white stripes.

I have seen the two play one another and your right, the two do not like one another very much!

Kind of weird though because although they dislike each other they have signed an agreement to exchange youth players, I think hell would freeze over before that happened in Glasgow.

It's okay, you could have done another one. It would have taken over from my poor effort.

Nah yours is a good one, I thought maybe a Dutch one or another country would be a different look on football.

Celtic and Rangers are both world class teams. It is a slightly different situation in Holland.

PSV is a world class team while FC Eindhoven are a second division team
Now both realize how smart it would be to exchange players asnd work together.

Anyways, I always love taking over a team in Holland. Kind of the second class country league wise but you can coach some tremendous players before losing them to the big clubs.

FV Eindhoven are also in talks with Phillips over some possible sponsership, that wold be a tremendous help to them.

The Dutch leagues are one of the less talked about in this thread even though they have well known teams in Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord.

I think if you were to delete all my weird posts there probably wouldn't be much talked about at all. Sorry.

As for the Dutch league, I've always liked the periods they have, as well as the fact that it is a closed league. Makes it nice and intimate IMO.

I miss the lineups and stadiums postings..

rudel.dietrich · 09-26-2006, 03:43 PM

Benfica has a gorgeous stadium

bababui · 09-26-2006, 03:44 PM

Absolutely agree. They should also be ale to rake in the money from it as well.

rudel.dietrich · 09-26-2006, 03:48 PM

It would look even better in HD if ESPN would choose to present it that way

bababui · 09-26-2006, 03:52 PM

What an amazing atmosphere. The crowd is rocking. Im betting most are rooting for Benfica.

bababui · 09-26-2006, 03:53 PM
