Having problems with message search?
Eric, thanks for the advice. Obviously not what I wanted to hear but welcome nevertheless. I'll look into getting a new team purchase sanctioned.
Many thanks, Bill

Those figures are based on old Subbuteo figures, which are referred to as "cereal bowls" because they are so rounded and tall. Subbuteo moved away from that type of base several years ago and now use "solid" or "Hasbro" bases, which are one piece, not as tall and they have a larger flat area on the bottom to prevent the figure from tumbling as much. These figures are generally regarded as far superior to the old cereal bowls (and Zuego) because they are much easier to control.
I hate to tell you that you need to get some other figures, but if you really want to get into Subbuteo and ease the process of relearning the game, I suggest getting some newer Subbuteo figures. www.soccerinternational.com is the only place in the US that sells them retail and they just got a new load of equipment from Europe. You can also go on ebay and find a lot of teams, just look for the single colored "solids" or "Hasbros" from the 1990's.
