My aim with these teams is for people who are interested in playing offline tournaments with family/ friends or even solo.
ALL player faces and kits are created by myself.
The squads will have players from as far back as the 1930's right up to todays greats like Ronaldo and Messi. So it is not aimed at people wanting a classic file compatible with Master league or such like as there will be duplicate players like Messi etc.
Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Holland and Italy all have 2 squads created. One squad is the best players from before 1980 and the other from 1980 till present day.
Yugoslavia are made up of players from the former Yugoslavia except for Croatia who have their own squad. Czechoslovakia is obviously Czech Rep and Slovakia unified. USSR is made up of all nations from the former Soviet Union except for Ukraine who have their own squad.
East Germany return to international football, and along with names like Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and USSR give the file a more retro/classic feel.
The squads are made up by using player stats mainly from http://www.pesmitidelcalcio.com and using the great format and idea from Planet World Cup http://www.planetworldcup.com/atwc/atwc.html
To restrict the squads being made up of 10 strikers I have used the following method for selection.
23 Man Squads
2 x GK (no need for 3 as they are very rarely injured or sent off)
3 x FB at least 2 of these with FB as their primary position
4 x CB at least 3 of these with CB as their primary position
5 x CM, (DM & AM Included here) at least 4 of these able to play CM
3 x wide players, 2 of these must be natural wingers either RM/LM or RW/LW
3 x SS at least 1 of these with SS as their primary position
and 3 x CF at least 2 of these with CF as their primary position.
I did this as I suspect that most people would want to play offline tournaments and there is more choice in formations and tactics depending on the opposition, and of course yellow and red cards, suspensions and injuries etc.
I have created classic/retro kits for ALL the teams and where possible I have created kits pre 1990. Ukraine and Ivory Coast get their 1992 kits as I could not find an earlier one for Ivory Coast and obviously Ukraine never had an earlier one. Again, I did these kits to give the file a more classic/retro feel.

Hey Buddy
WOW :w00t that's amazing the amount of time & effort into these teams/kits is unbelievable, I absolutely cant wait for this.
I am also a fan of the classic football from 60's-mid 80's. Great kit selection too buddy
Brazil could probably have 3 or 4 teams on it's own, the 70 team amazing and the team from 82, first world cup I watched, just blew me away with their style of football.
Eder goal against USSR, Falcao dummy then Eder flicked it up and volleyed it past probably one of the best keepers at the tournament who never even moved, still an awesome goal today.
Really really cant wait for this file is there a link to see kits etc as cant find it
