National Team Success

Has anyone done well as an international manager? I seem to fail big time when I am an international manager.

As the Australian manager I failed to get out of the qualifying group stage.

Epic Fail!

The team threatened a lot but couldn't score. Then I would give a cheap goal and lose to inferior teams.

I went on to Denmark and was able to qualify for the EURO's but didn't get out of the group stage. I lost when I was favored in a match and was dominated.

I went on to Ivory Coast, my team was banging in goals left and right and dominated the group stage for the World Cup. Then I had to play Algeria to get to the WC and lost scoring only 1 goal in the 2 games. I dominated at home and failed to score. I was completely outplayed in the away match.

I was wondering if anyone has success and how they do it.

I never did much int'l work, except when I took the USA job in FM 11. Barely won the Gold Cup. I'll admit it's tough being a National coach since you can't really control the squad like you do with a domestic squad.

Played as Canada in FM05 or 6, can't remember - the interesting bit was that, after losing to Brazil in overtime in the Gold Cup semis (damn invited teams!), Canada ended up hosting the Confederations Cup. I went out in the group stage because of a missed penalty :angry:
