The only one left is Casillas who is having his worst classic in career, 2 for 26. But the team still gets the wins so I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Garnash1970 Joined: 08/07/2014 Posts: 199 Inactive	What about changing it slightly to the World Youth Classic and only include players up to say 25 years of age? I think it would include a lot more managers interest. And would naturally level the playing field a bit. Thanks.

Just don't ask me for ideas on how to fix it.
