Welcome to part 1 of my FM13: Back to the future series. If you have seen my Indonesian story you might know that I only have FM13, and none of the more recent versions, so i`m stuck on this outdated game. More recently how-ether I continually seem to notice things in the game that make things that are happening in real life now, 3 years later, seem crazy and unbelievable, and so this series was born. The aim is to try and re-create real life achievements that seemed near impossible back in 2013, and I only have 3 years to do it.
So onto this challenge. As many of you might know by now England have once again failed on the big stage, losing to Iceland, a country of 300,000 people last night in Nice. As the media, public and the rest of Europe mock our depleted team everyone seems to be forgetting about Iceland and what they have achieved here. So there I am browsing around FM13 when I see Iceland, ranked 121st in the world at the time, take a beating from France, their real life QF opponents in a euro qualifier. This gives me the idea, I will try to re-create Iceland journey to euro 2016, then I will try and take them how-ether far they get in the real thing (currently quarter finals). This is made slightly more difficult by the fact that the old euro format is used in FM13, but where there`s a "sson", there`s a way!
