This is a good bit of fun. Put it on the 'from memory' mode to make it more difficult.
Basically it'll give you a random nation from a world cup on each roll and you have to pick a player for your team.
I've done it twice and lost to Croatia in last 16 both times though my second team was considerably worse.
Done better this time except the defence. Lost 2-1 in QF to Hungary 1962.

Time to hang up the boots surely, the ICD has probably saved him here but the fact he has collapsed again suggests he shouldn't be pushing it.
Yeah I think that'll be him done now. Sad for him that it's right before a WC but his health surely has to come first now.
I see the U S has decreed that a top African/FIFA referee from Somalia has been denied access/entrance to the US. Time for FIFA to say enough is enough. Either you (Trump) give access, or the World Cup only happens in Canada and Mexico. Cat and Pigeons...
Meanwhile Infantino is sat on a golden toilet counting his dollary-doos.
I would completely back UEFA leaving FIFA, but its never going to happen.

Artan, the 2025 Confederation of African Football men's referee of the year, was barred from entering the country at Miami International Airport and is currently in Turkey.
No reason for Artan's repatriation has been issued by US immigration authorities, but Somalia is one of several countries on a travel ban list introduced by President Donald Trump's administration."

With 75% of the games in the US and the referee's training camp based in the US that isn't viable. FIFA really should have anticipated issues here. There is a complete travel ban from Somalia - this was always likely to happen.
I agree, but the World Cup is a celebration around the world of the No1 most played sport. Why hold it in a country that blocks half the contestants and their fans from attending. Sport is to bring us together, not show divisions in the world. Really cross by all this **** atm to be honest so not having a go at you, just venting.

TBF, the World Cup was awarded to the US, Canada and Mexico way back in 2018. Even though Trump was president then, the world was a much more stable place back then.
**** Trump, the US has fallen democracy is dead.
"A senior adviser to Somalia's ministry of youth and sports confirmed the denial of entry to the BBC and said Artan had been travelling with valid documents.
A Somali embassy official in Nairobi told the BBC that Artan's diplomatic passport had been issued specifically to ease his travel after earlier visa difficulties."
