The International Challenge

Hello guys, I propose to you a challenge that can also be done as a story. My idea is this, you manage an international team between 50th and 110th and that is in Europe, and your goal is to guide them into the WC, EUROs and beyond. I've set out a point system for this:

EURO

EURO Qualification - 10 Points
EURO Group Stage Exit - 10 Points
EURO Last 16 Exit - 15 Points
EURO Quarter Final Exit - 20 Points
EURO Semi Final Exit - 30 Points
EURO Final Exit - 40 Points
EURO Win - 50 Points

World Cup

World Cup Qualification - 15 Points
World Cup Group Stage Exit - 15 Points
World Cup Last 16 Exit - 20 Points
World Cup Quarter Final Exit - 25 Points
World Cup Semi Final Exit - 35 Points
World Cup Final Exit - 50 Points
World Cup WIn - 75 Points

World Rankings

5 points for Top 50
5 points for Top 30
5 for Top 25
10 for Top 20
10 for Top 15
10 for Top 10
15 for Top 5
15 for Top 3
25 for Number 1

(Thanks to LFCFan for the World Ranking Point System)

Player Awards

World PotY - 100 Points
Player of the Year (League) - 50 Points
World Cup/EURO Dream Team - 30 Points
Top Scorer (League/WC/EURO) - 20 Points

Rules:

You must go a team between 50th and 110th World Ranking on 1st July 2015 (List at bottom)
You must start at 'Early English Date' which is 1st July, unless you are in the middle of a save.
You must prove achievements, either in a story format or just an image
You can not move teams until you want to end the challenge.
The end limit is World Cup 2030, though I can extend this.

How To Ensure Your Country is Playable

Sometimes when you start a save your country isn't playable, it is often the case with smaller nations. However, to make your nation playable all you have to do is restart your save and proceed as normal until you get to choosing leagues. As it takes a while to holiday with masses of leagues selected, it is best to choose just England from then, you should then click onto the box where you choose your database size.

Instead of choosing small, medium or large, you need to choose 'Advanced' then you need to go to 'nations' and click on the drop down menu to find your nation. Click on your nation and then tick all the boxes, this makes your country playable as it now has all your players in the database. You can now begin playing your save

Norway have qualified with two games in hand. Qualifying with 18 points, the new man on the hot seat can play whit no pressure against Croatia and Italy but fans expect a good result against both teams. the Berisha brothers both expressed their joy with Alex Balik and qualifying for France 2016...

Going into the final four games of qualifying, Belorussian's knew they had to win all four games to stand any chance of qualifying and also hope that other results go their way. After a strong start, with massive wins against Luxembourg and Macedonia, Belarus went into games against 29th ranked Ukraine, in which they let a 2-1 lead slip, and ended up drawing 3-3, and a away tie against 18th ranked Slovakia, who in the end were just to strong for Belarus.

Although they did not qualify for Euro 2016 Belorussian fans and the FA remain hopeful for future challenges under new manager Grant Losper.
