On the wikipedia page for PES6, Teatro Blanco and Antlon are listed as fictional stadiums. That would certainly explain your inability to place them

I think they're wrong. Antlion Colesseum is nearly exactly like El Monumental, almost to a tee. The seats are in red and white in bands across each level, but in the Konami version the colors are swapped. Otherwise they it is just about perfect, right down to the big TV screen. I'm willing to believe Teatro Blanco is based on something real until I've seen absolute evidence that it isn't.

Same question for Division 2 folks - I'm off but likely won't be online until later tonight unless someone wants to play before then. Scoop, any chance you're off so we can get in our cup match?
Monaco started the new season at home against Slumberland's Livorno squad, and was frustrated to see the bad luck and missed chances that plagued them through their pre-season interdivisional friendlies continue into the season opener. Despite all kinds of opportunities in the early going, DiVaio and Koller up front could not find a way to hit the target, and Livorno was able to survive the early surge unscathed. Livorno, on the other hand, was able to finish their chances, and in the 19th minute, Lucarelli took a pass into the box and calmly finished past a diving Roma to start the scoring. The rest of the first half saw both sides creating opportunities, but neither able to score.
The second half started the same way, with back and forth gameplay and neither side gaining too much of an upper hand. In the 68th minute, however, Morrone scored to put the visitors ahead 2-0. At that point, Monaco started gaining more posession and putting more pressure on their opponents goal, and six minutes later in minute 74 Kallon, who had just come on for midfielder Leko, found the net and halved the Italians lead. Despite frantic attacking play, and some close calls on the counter, Monaco were unable to find the equalizer, and Livorno left Stade Louis II with the full share of the points.
Monaco's second game was also at home in the hills near the sea, and they welcomed a PSG side that was still coming to terms with the changes the prospects of a new season had brought. Again, the home side began with gusto and made several probes into the PSG area, but once again they were unable to complete the deal and find the net. PSG held their own, but were frustrated by numerous calls, not to mention fouls that went unnoticed, and the teams headed into the halftime break with nothing to separate them, in large part thanks to a fine finger-tip save by Roma to deny a terrific chance from Pauleta.
The second half saw more of the same, more chances for both sides, more dubious officiating, and more good saves from both keepers. In the 78th minute, however, Monaco was able to break through. Some nifty passing near the top of the box saw Plasil combining with DiVaio who led Koller into the box with a delicate through ball, and the big man finished with his left foot from 10 yds. With only 10 game-minutes left to go, and that being with the new shorter game rules, PSG frantically sought the equalizer, and left itself open to the counter. In the 89th minute, Monaco took advantage of the openings at the back and Koller was able to add his second goal of the season after DiVaio's powerful attempt at goal was parried away by the sprawling Paris keeper. The final whistle blew soon after the ensuing kick off, and Monaco have now improved their record to 1-1 on the young season.
GGs guys, and good luck the rest of the way. See you in the 2nd half!
Guys, I want to point out how much fun I've had playing interdivisional friendlies before starting the season. I hope to continue playing those friendlies, and it's great to see so many online in the game and this gives us an easy solution to the 'what teams to pick' problems. I highly suggest it!
Also, I've changed my mind about the ball. League games should be played with one specific ball per season, and even though there's no way to enforce it and it makes no difference to the game whatsoever (well, maybe except for those black balls, which are weird and hard to see), this season we will play league games with the adidas +Teamgeist. We'll rotate different balls from season to season.

Lastly I don't see a Manage team link at my teams page....
Do you see an 'add player' link? Or, when you look at your team's schedule, do you see the update icon on the right? It's a little arrow, and if you hover your mouse it should say 'update.' If you can see those things, you are all set, as adding players and updating games is all you need to do. If not, let me know and I will get it fixed.

Zep, I don't see either one of these things (add player link or update icon).

Dean, you should be all set now.
There was a bit of confusion by me with the setup of the league, but things should be in order now. If anyone has any problems in the future, be sure to let me know.

Me neither. Again though do I need to create an account there as SkyboxerOS? I created it as Skyboxer. So I just created a new user as SkyboxerOS and still nothing. Sorry!
