Ok guys, since after today's result I am not going to look like a fool anymore, I am going to post it now:

I asm disgusted by the idea of mutual TIE. I have been approached by our last rival with that suggestion. It is a way for both of the teams to gain unfair advantage over rest of the field. If a team wants to risk TIE, then just do it! Don't try to make some sort of a deal that hurts other countries because their opponents gain enthusiasm without taking any risks.

I would love it to change and if the suggestions of mutual TIE were made public so people start frowning upon them and we will all have level field.

But it affects other teams, putting those who don't take part in it/didn't receive such option in unfair disadvantage. Why allow something like that to happen (of course it cant be regulated by BBs but publicly stating who did that and change in mentality of users should slowly make such things dissapear).
I would agree with to each their own argument if that didnt give both involved teams an advantage over others.

Meh, everytime I get an offer of a deal I say that it disgusts me and I refuse to take part in it. Although your way would probably make other managers learn faster :D

Ok, 3rd match ups coming up very soon.
Overmatched again in terms of team quality. Gambling a lot and trying to read French manager's mind.........
Good luck to everyone! I have to admit, not being a favorite and having to take risks, analyze opponents, etc is tons of fun. Should be even better with blank lineup removed.

In six seasons as an U21 manager, there were two TIE deals. The first time I played tie and lost, the second one I played CT and won. After that, I had a lot of fun dealing with CTs from other nations But after this broken TIE deal, there was never again a message from an other U21 coach.

If you offer a mTIE you do it because you want an advantage for your team. Either you want to save your effort and play a TIE or you don't think your team can beat the other team on equal effort and will break the TIE. It's a power play. Only way to keep the power for your team is to either ignore the offer or take and break the offer. You can never fault a team for breaking a mTIE offered to them.
