Fifa 2001 Danmark Qualifications

In Danmark we have quite the situation from Israel as 12 teams arrived in the game. Again we divide those in  8 and 4 team mini-cups and winners meet in the final. Fifa 2001 seems to be harsh for the favourites, as again the main team goes out in the first game. Brondby was not easy to beat but Silkeborg made that one goal difference. In Norway Molde gain a lot confidence after defiting Rosenborg and in Danmark the same happened to Silkeborg when they won with Brondby. Another team to watch out for was Lyngby who won 2 first round with easy 3:0 scores. At the point no one seemed to notice another winner wannabe - FC Midtjylland, but that was the team that sneeked to the final beating Herfolge and Haderslev on the way and meeting with Silkeborg who managed to stop Lyngby in the semi final. In the last game the monster was finally unleashed and Midtjylland eaisly beat Silkeborg who many was already seeing as a winner. But that is not the end as Danmark champion will play in play-off games with winner from Sweden.

14 teams in Norway make things a bit difficult. First we take 4 worst theam and ramaning 10 go to the next round automaticly. In the second round we have 2 teams form the first round plus we 6 worst of the 10 that had an auto qualification, remaining 4 go to the next round automaticly. In the 3rd round we have 4 teams form 2nd round and 4 with auto qualification. Moss and Byrne made it to the second round and it seems that playing form the begining was not that bad ideas since in the second round both teams again knockout their opponents. Bodo/Glimdt and Viking also made it to the last 8 were Rosenborg, Molde, Lillestrom and Valerenga were alrady waiting. Clash between Molde and Rosenborg was exicitng fans as both teams looked strong on the paper. Rosenborg was given more odds, but it was Molde who won on the pitch and started their march for glory.

Fifa 2001 Greek Clubs Qualifications

16 teams in Greece so no problem at all with designing a suitable competition. Still as only 8 teams can be conroled by user in the game we have to made it two 8 teams turnaments. The obvious favourites were Olympiakos and Panathinaikos or rather O.Pireaus and Leoforos as the authors called them due the lack of official license for this league in the game. Well, Leoforos seemd to keep the plan going as they took an early lead against Kalamata, but then who knows what happened. Kalamata started scoring and when the dust gone down it was 5:1 on the scoreboard. Pireaus shown a bit better form, as they looked like a better side troughout the game against P.Thessaloniki but unlucky they lost after an own goal. In the next round we had to look for a new favourites and when it came to the semi finals you might have thought that P.Thessaloniki and A.Thessaloniki are the teams to fight for the glory. Wrong again! The final was a clash of Cinderellas as Kianerithri and Philadelfia were the only one left on the battleground. Chances were even - literally. The game went to penalties and after 12 series no one made a mistake. Finally keepers started to do their job and Atmatsidis from Philadelfia given his team a place in the finals after dening two shoots in a row.
