Surprisingly I think, you could make a really good Classic Scotland squad, with the exception of perhaps a proper goalkeeper! Dalglish, Law, Hansen, Nicol, Davie Cooper, Johnstone, Nicholas, McCoist, McStay etc. etc.

Spain in 82 underachieved. They hosted the tournament and yet lost to Northern Ireland and only just sneaked through the 1st group stage, eventually being knocked out in the 2nd group stage. Good players include Victor Munoz, Hierro, Butragueno, Guardiola, and Michel. You could probably make a...

I was Classic England the other day and my defender did a Cruyff turn before smashing it into the corner of his own net. I lost the game 1-0 so I was well happy. I think if you hold R1 and press Circle it should clear it up field no matter what. But it's not ideal when you're making a...

Michael Jackson could be in charge of the youth team

And just to add to that last post. I recommend watching the Gole 1982 World Cup video. It's class. Sean Connery: "Whereas the Belgians stifled Maradona with numbers, the Italians marked him with a one-man crowd named Gentile"

I'm still sceptical. Definitely not saying Di Stefano isn't up there with the best, but defenders in those days weren't the same as they were in the Eighties and after. Plus the fact teams used to play daft formations like 3-2-5! If Gentile had marked Di Stefano we might have seen how good he...

Sorry but we'll have to agree to disagree. Pele played in what's widely accepted as the greatest team of all time in 1970. If he stopped in bed they'd still have won the WC. Maradona played with Valdano (amongst others) who was piss-poor at best.

Can't give you proof but I had one the other day. Shevchenko was back defending for my Master League as we were beating Man U, when they had a shot which hit his arm. Luckily Van Man put the pen wide as I was FUMIN!!

So I'm assuming when you win the league 10 times you'll have 2 big stars and so on and so on until you get 5 big stars after 25 league wins?? And then what? You unlock PES4?

The handball feature is the worst addition to the game - it's absolute crap. It's so frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it. You have a shot which is blocked and the ref then gives handball to the defending team when it comes back at you. Or you try and chest the ball down and...

I wasn't alive when Pele, Garrincha, Eusebio, Di Stefano, and Puskas were playing. And TV never shows the crap things they did - only the brilliant ones. Skinner and Baddiel did a feature ages ago about how crap Pele was, showing some really REALLY bad stuff and mistakes. I lived through...

Maradona was all left foot but it didn't matter seeing as nobody could get the ball off him. For anyone with Kazaa or something similar, do a search for Maradona video files - there's some awesome footage out there. He should be 99s almost across the board - Argentina were the most average...

WEFA Championships is brilliant. Probably the best addition to PES3. And yes it is harder than the domestic side - quite right too.

Anyone who doubts Shevchenko as a World Class striker should see the goal he scored for Kiev against Arsenal the year before he joined Milan. One of the best goals I've ever seen. And one of the hardest hit too. He's fast, good in the air, good on the floor, can play wide or up front, and has...

Has anyone completed all the training exercises? Might be when you do that? Otherwise those training exercises don't serve much purpose. Apart from the one where you have to keep possession - I think that actually helped.

No, I don't get those 4 digits either. I don't suppose it says anything in the manual does it? I don't read it cos it normally makes things worse.

The three pace-masters of Denmark are all underrated. Gronkjaer's quick and should be 90 at least, but Rommedahl is like lightning - especially off the mark - and so is Lovenkrands. I played a league with my mates last week and drew Denmark. Well happy until I saw the stats!

The commentary on NBA Street 2 is absolutely spot-on. Something like that would be ideal. It doesn't have to tell us everything that happens in the game, you only get that on radio commentary. If you listen to TV commentary they just babble on about the crowd, the locals, what Zidane did last...

Can everyone spare a thought for the tragic Cameroon midfielder and his wife and 3 children. Nobody should die like that at just 28.

Nah, I think it sounds like a load of Carsten Jank to me. The computer doesn't learn, it just realised you won the last 4 games 6-0, so it turns Zidane into Bob Carolgees.
