I'm interested in how the international matches are playied? can you start off a game as a countries manager? or do you have to work your way up?

Also, how does the euro and world cup work in the game?

It's going to be hard to keep this guy out of the starting lineup much longer...

If you like it you should really consider the '09 version, as the 3d match engine is a huge addition. I could never go back to 2d after that.

Well there much like a club, but international manager you can go attend a game and scout a player.
Yes you can start your career in the international ranks.
There's qualifying rounds and then the tourney if you qualify.

Well, I found it for 8 dolla and I figured I would give it a try.

So far, it's worth every single penny. 2009 might be a purchase in the near future.

That's awesome. One more question, say after 5 years will good young player emerge and you'll be able to scout them onto the national team?

Yup, but the trick is staying with the team long enough to reap those benefits.

Well I'm polish and I'll be running the polish squad. Robert Lewandowski and Dawid Jancyzk are two young players i'll be building the team around. So ill stay with Poland for a long time, I just want to be able to find a good 16 year old after 5 years and see how he develops.

This game sounds awesome tho, will be getting it tomorrow to start a Toronto FC and Team Poland saves.
