- Win by 1 goal
**You can win by as many goals as you want. Long passes are easier from the centre circle back to the goalkeeper.

General rules:
The easiest way to complete all challenges from all regions in the game is as follows:
- Create 11 players with 0 skill - Minimise their height, maximise their weight.
- Create 7 extra goalkeepers - do not change skill - these are substitutes.
- Transfer all players to one team. This is the designated losing team.
- Put all created players in to the starting line up, with the extras as subs.
- Change the formation so that all players are as wide as possible, with an attacking mentality. This will leave massive gaps in defence and midfield.
- Transfer all the best players in the world to one squad.
- Go to My Fifa 08 and save your squad, so you can reload it each time.
- Once you have completed a region, you can then transfer your players to the new designated teams for any particular region.

Complete challenge with __________:
If you do not like the player selected, back out twice (team selection screen) and re-select team.

I would like to note that drabik has made a phenomenal guide for all these challenges.I would just like to further note on one specific challenge in this region I personally struggled on, as I know many of others had.

7. Better Late Than Never
5 minutes, professional
- Score with a late sub after the 85 minute mark
- Win by 3 goals

For this one, I made sure i was up by at least 3 goals by doing this method. Right before the 85th minute was about to hit, i passed to my goalie and made an own goal. Then i substituted my 3 players off the bench. This allows you to regain possession of the ball with the field reset. I was able to score in the 88th minute this way. To add further insult to injury, I was able to score again in the injury time (no pun intended). After trying numerous times with no strategy at all, I was able to get this challenge done on the first shot using this method. I hope that helps.
