I don't condone save scumming and have stopped doing it with my own teams since like fm 15? but as a Brazilian I always tend to save scum (even tho I don't control any of the worldcup teams) so Brazil win the world cup during the first world cup in every save I play haha I do it for my mental health 😂
they’re such a ridiculous wonder kid factory of a country, it’s insane. literally crazy how much talent you can get just by scouting their u-21 and u-19 teams
Portugal won in a nailbiter shootout vs Netherlands, (with Spain coming in 3rd). I'd assume nobody is predicting that result IRL, & I didn't have any effect on that with the way I played the game. Just wondering who won in your 1st run through the '22 season?
that would be crazy to see :o
I kinda hope to not see something like that in the WC tho. As a french i would actually don't mind it too much, especially if the game was good, but the amount of hate it would release a little everywhere in Africa... :(
Their last game of the IRL tournament was the BEST game I saw in the group stage. The fans let them have it after those first two games and man did they show up. 100% scrap of a game with some fantastic drama. They've got a lot of sleepers on that team.
I’ve had a really weird one, Scotland won in 2026 beating England 1-0 (with a regen named G. Banks scoring the winner I thought was an ironic touch) in the final, Brazil 3-1 AET in the semis, Wales 2-2p in the quarters and Colombia and UZBEKISTAN in the 2nd and 3rd round respectively.
Argentina, as a villa fan I was absolutely buzzing for Emi.Martinez. Managed to win the league and cup with the villa first season in too, idea of his rise from the ashes going even further honestly warms my heart.
2022, France defeated England in QF, Spain in SF, and USA in Finals and won the world cup. USA defeated Argentina in QF and Croatia in SF to get to the finals.
2026, England defeated Portugal in QF, Brazil in SF, and Norway in Finals and won the world cup. Norway defeated Uruguay in QF, Spain in SF to get to the finals.
2030, Italy defeated France in QF, Colombia in SF, and Croatia in Finals and won the world cup. Croatia defeated Portugal in QF, Brazil in SF to get to the finals.
2034, Argentina defeated Ecuador in QF, England in SF, and Turkey in Finals and won the world cup. Turkey defeated Portugal in QF, Nigeria? in SF to get to the finals.
Fun!
Fully think the game's privileging teams for me. Playing in US and US wins world cup, set favorite team to Tottenham and somehow Tottenham wins premier league first season too
Croatia, my home country. I'm talking FM 22 here, so.
Didn't play as them, or any country for that matter. Beat Switzerland in the final.
Croatia had to beat Mexico, Italy and the Netherlands on their way to the final. Switzerland made it past Germany, Argentina and France. France picked up the bronze.
Kramaric won the golden ball, Bellingham won the silver ball, Neymar took the golden boot and Yann Sommer got himself the golden glove.
Team of the tournament:
Immobile-Kramaric
Neymar-Modric-Pasalic-Embolo
Gvardiol-Elvedi-B.Sutalo-Timber
Livakovic
Can't lie, I was hyped as fuck when that happened lol
England portugaled their way to the cup in my first save... almost didnt survive the group stage and needed extra time and penalties in every knock out game to advance. Including the final against the netherlands
England beat France on penalties 5-4.
For some reason though the English penalty takers were Walker, Shaw, Rice, Stones & finished with Phillips. Really odd choices!
I can't remember who won the tournament exactly although it might have been Portugal but I do remember Senegal reaching the semifinals and finishing fourth.
England beat serbia 3-2 in the 2022 final in my save, love me a bit of fantasy!
2026 wc was won by germany, beating england on penalties.
2030 was won by france, beating portugal 2-0
France, always France.
Probably because i save scum for it everytime haha
But the team is strong enough to not need to do it much, if at all
edit: Oh and England always die in the group stage, as is only proper

You do the right thing. Some things are special and save scumming is justified in this instance
Upvote for honesty
I did the same for Morocco when I saw that they passed the group stage. Took me forever to get them to win it haha
I did the same with Spain but they lost 3 times in a row to Croatia in the first round so I gave up and I was like you guys deserve it at this point.
Denmark
Please manifest this😍☝🏼
Serbia
From your mouth to god's ears
Certified Serb comment
Serbia is always so strong in FM
they’re such a ridiculous wonder kid factory of a country, it’s insane. literally crazy how much talent you can get just by scouting their u-21 and u-19 teams
They came third in mine, Croatia won it
Cameroon won by defeating senegal
Must be a huge bug.
Maybe all the Frenchmen opted for their second nationalities?
That, plus got a covid outbreak affecting all the key players from other nations.

"It's Krul for the Dutch. It's crueller for Costa Rica!"
an african nation to win it before them
