And what is the difference between OTL and this 2014. There is a United Kingdom football team instead of there being separate football teams for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Otherwise things are pretty much the same, with a few butterflies thrown in for good measure. One other major difference is the Confederations cup takes a different format, with teams selected from the best players in each confederation. Another slight deviation I might work on is the US football league, which is the POD in this timeline. You'll be happy to know the Netherlands beat the UK in the World Cup 2014 quarter finals  with van Persie scoring the winner!  |

You gave us only one score win over England, do not think van Gaal will go to Manchester United with a good feeling after kicking out England of the World Cup here in this timeline. |

So you have removed the greatest match of the game, the 1-5 Spain versus Netherlands match of OTL No that game takes place in the group stage, it remains unchanged. UK not England. And it wasn't my decision, I just left the computer to simulate the match. Yeah possibly, but if Paul Gascoigne can return to the Scottish League after scoring for England against Scotland in the Euros then anything's possible!  |

What game or simulation do you used for it, and the computer of your should now, if the Netherlands can beat Spain with 5-1 then England should be a piece of cake. Yeah possibly, but if Paul Gascoigne can return to the Scottish League after scoring for England against Scotland in the Euros then anything's possible! Well they are Scotch, he will but them a drink and everything is forgiven. |

FIFA 14, and yeah that's true, but these things work out strangely sometimes. Like Germany hammering Brazil 7-1 in Brazil! We do like our wee drams! |

Nothing like the rivalry the Netherlands with Germans, it feels like a friendly version of WWII every time. FIFA 14, and yeah that's true, but these things work out strangely sometimes. Like Germany hammering Brazil 7-1 in Brazil! Still think that score comes from a game, but then again the Netherlands also did good for third place with a 0-3 win over Brazil, if you think this could mean we live in a AH where Brazil loss the 2014 world Cup in their own country. We do like our wee drams! And you Scotch whisky. |

For England it's Germany, Turkey and Argentina, and Scotland just hate England, except me, I'm one of a few Scots who supports England. BTW you might also be interested in the Confederations Cup in this TL, the teams are picked from the best players in each Confederation. althistory.wikia.com/wiki/FIFA_Confederations_Cup_(UKatWC) |

Can only think of Spain or Germany where things will heat up when we play them, we do not have a rivalry with England anymore sins the end of the Anglo-Dutch wars i think, and also we have not faced you as much in games. BTW you might also be interested in the Confederations Cup in this TL, the teams are picked from the best players in each Confederation. Only one Netherlands player and 5 Belgium players, do you not now we have some good players as well. |

Yeah I need to fix the starting line-ups, I'm not that knowledgeable about football so I just took the highest rated players on FIFA 14. But I think EA's stats are biased towards England and the premier league. I did change the starting line-up since then, here's the new line-up, tell me what you think: GK Courtois DF Cole DF Kompany DF Ferdinand DF Baines MF Hazard MF van der Vaart MF Sneijder FW Ibrahimovic FW Bale FW van Persie |
