Dr. Dot, the daily five minute skill devotion, where everyone can simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, at the moment we are in the middle of Wimbledon and also the Testimatches, the Ashes series against Australia. So football, I mean it's still going on, but it's not massive hype as there would be if it was a welded car or the European Championships or whatever, but still let's look at this skill.
It's really good, international soccer manager football game. But you can just open it with soccer manager. Alexa, open to soccer manager. Welcome to International Soccer Manager.
You will take control of an international soccer team and attempt to guide them through five rounds of action to Cup Glory. It will take a mixture of skill and luck to lift the trophy and prove your management credentials. You can choose to start with a highly ranked team of soccer superstars or take on the challenge with a minnow at the sport. Please now say the country whose team you would like to manage.
Island. Okay, you have taken over as head coach of Ireland for this competition. You start with a team rating of 150. Multiple have been drawn as round one opponents who have a team rating of 100.
In the build up to round one, you can use your coaching skills to increase your current team rating. Be careful though. It can also drop with any dodgy decisions. Good luck.
Our boot sponsor wants all players to wear special seats to boots as part of the promotional campaign. Should we agree? Yes. You agree to a trial, but despite the sponsor being happy with the exposure, the new material causes blisters for many players.
A team rating decreased of minus 10. Your rating is now 140. Oh dear. Shall we order some new track suits for the squad?
Yes. Our new kit arrives with a sponsor logo missing, so we are unable to wear it. A team rating dropped of minus five. Your new rating is 135.
OK, your pre-match preparations are now complete again. Let's head over to the commentary team. Hello and welcome to round one of the cup. Our match today will be between Ireland and Malta.
The referee gets things underway. Island on the attack. A vicious strike at the top corner. The goalie dives the right way but can't reach it in time.
The score is now Island 1, Mortenil. More to on the attack. A shot fired low and hard on the turn. It doesn't even hit the target.
Here come Island with a chance. An electric turn of pace leaves the defence for dead. Bad shot placement and caught cleaning by the keeper. The referee signals for half time.
The score after 45 minutes. Island 1, Moltenil. I wonder if we will see any changes for the second half. Sounds like the attack.
Your attacking coach thinks the Morderek to approach will be fruitful in the second half, but one of the opponents could counter more effectively. Will you make the change? Stop. Thanks for playing.
Remember you can ask a letter, because it opens up a manager whenever you want another game. Wow. I think this is good. I think this is really good.
Guys, I think I might have to ask Sean to be a football manager, because nothing would be further from what he wants to do, so I might actually ask him to do it. Yeah, I might do that, guys. If you haven't watched the Echo, no. If you haven't listened to the Echo show, you really, really should.
It's full of brilliant chat with Sean Priest, who's the most brilliant guy. So, yeah, I think I'm going to ask him to be a football manager for at least a few games and see how he gets on, because I know they already hate it. Thanks a lot, and we'll speak again tomorrow. Feedback comments demos.
