Possible to play only national team?

[CommanderGren]

Hello, I just bought the game and I am poking around with it.

I was wondering if there is a way to play a historical World Championship — say if I wanted to take over one of the national teams with the historical rosters used in the 2022 tournament. Is there a way to do this without playing any other league?

Thanks!

You could start a historical game in whatever year you want (I don't know that it has the World Championship as much as it does the World Cup in 1996 and forward) and be unemployed. Then, you should be able to go to "Manager" and select "Take Over Team." From there, select the "National Team" tab and pick your team to take over. I don't have any saves that are historical where I am not running a team, so I don't know if there's some prohibition, but I would think not.
