Season 57 I managed Brazil and my board’s objective for the world cup was to reach the final, I knew I would only keep the place If won the cup so its not strange I’ve been fired. My surprise was to see France manager also losing in the semi-final and keeping his job. If I’m correct than France’s objectives for the world cup was only to reach the quarters lol This for a country for some 6 or so seasons in the first position of the country ranking… Some fixing probably is needed here :D

Country ranking has not much to do with it, the players from France aren’t just yet that develloped compared to the Brazilian ones.

Brazil has been in the top of the ranking for quite some time now, so there are alot of managers who will train Brazilian players just because they have a better chance on growing. Now in the latest season France is on the top and need some time to develop players with France nationality.

6 Seasons on the top would mean that players who started with age 16 in the academy would be now 22 and aren’t really fully grown.

I think it’s just a matter of time, more managers will train France players now so there will be alot more quallity France players in some seasons.

Tbh Mr Silva, i expect more from you, you should know this basic stuff :)

6 seasons number 1 in the ranking, before that France was already in the top by long. Anyway, if you check both teams you wont find that much diference and you can say it it fair for the French board to only ask the quarter-finals of their manager…

Yeah, I’m sure gabriel some how favours us and thus makes the board expectations easier for france then for any other country :)

Common Filipe , wakeup and smell the rozes :)

I didn’t say anything like that, as strange as you may think not everything I say is against France, read my post carefully :P If the board expectations for France National team was realistic Felix would have been kicked long time ago and maybe some other manager could get some title with it, as you can see he’s been there 6 seasons already and only won an Eropean Cup… I’m guessing some other managers would do better with a team like that, hell even I would :D

Also to be noticed the previous manager was kicked after losing in the WC semi-finals so for some reason the National Board lowered the expectations, French players have been getting better since long before that so I can’t understand how this can be, my only explanation is that the expectation is taking in consideration the latest performances of the team but if that’s so the only thing Felix has to do is keep making it to the semi-finals and always lose there lol

i can understand what u mean… but then the country position, i guess is mostly dependent on club performances. And club can have players from any country, right… although mostly they are from the same club , but then in some cases (mostly weaker leagues), better players are from other countries

That’s true Parag but with time (as Vaughn said some 7 to 10 seasons) country ranking also influence national teams, as a country get higher in ranking the better are the youths formed in there so in time the better the national team probably gets, mostly in a country with many human managers that explore all the good youths so they don’t end career without full improvement.

Although, country ranking doesn’t matter for the board expectations and I don’t know how they are formed as I think Gabriel never revealed it, so for some reason France National team expectations dropped and remained really too low some 7 seasons now.

I think a better way to form board expectations (for national teams) is needed, maybe include an mesure of the country ranking of 5 to 10 seasons ago… Or this can be only my obsession with France talking as Sly pointed :P

let’s ask gabriel to comment, I can only speculate how it works. I was always under the impression that board expectations are based on your entire team. So in theory a team with 11 players on 90 avr and 19 on 70 avr would be considered worse then a team with 30 players who are 88 avr.

Perhaps that’s how it works? It doesn’t look at the team you selected, it looks at the total amount of players compared to the others? Perhaps Brazil still has waaaaay more depth because of the old day’s. Still lots and lots of 90+ avr players who are in there Thirties…….

We need gabriel to confirm this, but this is my theory :)

P.s: I think you are a good dude Filipe :). Don’t forget who got you this “Game Master tag” :), but you must admit that with your latest posts you slightly come accross as this French hater :)

mimimimi…

Félix tá na França faz tempo e não ganha nada..

mimimimi…

Eu também quero…

mimimimi..

The team expects are based in the team historic.
France never was good retrospect, so dont have great expects.

Felix I’m not sure about what you meant with that post but I can tell you I never needed any favour or change to win anything in this game, neither I needed cheating, the same can’t be said about you…

If the expectations are based on team history this should be changed so the more reason for this topic. Anyway I won’t be saying anything more about this unless Gabriel need my opinion, wont be insulted because of a simple game…

My opinion:

Some time ago, I had noticed something strange between expectations and what actually happened.
The board had expected as a semifinal, but you reached the semifinals, was eliminated and fired.
Apparently, it was a bug that was fixed. Because I always reach the minimum requires that the board and I’m not fired. As I said, if it was before, I would have been fired.
