PING: Soccer Fans

International Football Federation will open its doors very soon. We are beginning with two 20 league English club leagues using real club names. The preseason King George's Cup, featuring all 40 clubs begins next week.

We use ESMS as the simulation engine and the files needed are free and on our site for download.

The IFF presently has 32 coaches on board, but would love to fill it up very soon. As new coaches want to be involved, we will add more leagues.

IFF is a member of Total Sports World, a conglomeration of 12 online leagues encompassing five sports presently and the site forums have over 500 members after being in business for 6 months. TSW has gaming advertisers and is on a dedicated server, so no downtime problems are ever experienced. Our vBulletin forums are linked from the TSW site.

We had been searching for a program to run an online English football league with when we stumbled upon ESMS! After a few weeks, we are sold on it as an engine and want to help further ESMS in any way we can.

We've collected as much FAQ information on the net as we could find and incorporated it into our league site.

We invite anyone looking for a stable league (we're not going anywhere) to join the TSW forums and go to the IFF area to sign up.

We are an international group of mature onliners who love writing about our online leagues, so this is no fly by night operation.

Come one over and join the IFF!

The top link is broken.

What is this?? Is this video game related or actual soccer?

I think it is a fantasy soccer league.

SWIL, the link is fixed. This uses a piece of software called esms (its free) to simulate soccer matches based on the lineups that the league's coaches submit to the commish.

Not fantasy in the way that you mean. It doesnt track real life player stats, but rather those created by the simulation engine.

BTW, TSW also has a college football league using Grey Dog Software's Bowl Bound College Football. As coach of that league's Vols, I've won two titles, going to four straight national title games.

Anyway, if you're a footie fan, the IFF is for you.
