Asunto: US Senior National Team

Oh I know how it works and all that fun stuff, I'm just yanking your chain. Pm pic in progress.

Ouch. Thats our strongest position by far. I was sort of hoping he was an offensive back lol.

Still... I'll chat with bulls about it later this week as we prepare for this weekend's match.

Damn good looking player though. I'm totally jealous haha.

Haha thanks! I actually got him on the first draft. And while I haven't gotten any players with such high OR I have gotten 3 or 4 other players with just as much caliber from the draft.

have you upload your players to the database?

Guys!!
I have been busy scouting opponents players and have not scouted 15yo in a while.

if you have those high quality high OR 15yo, please import to the ppmdb.bulls4ever.com/Impo...

I plan to review the database again before next friendly match and may add player(s)

btw: Pascale injury is very long. With 17 days Lloyd will have time to catch up and since he is a starter on his team will also catch up on experience.

Pascale will very likely be "relegated" to reserve. his chemistry stands at 38% and will still serve the team as a very solid goalie with good chemistry.

that will open one spot for a player to be called out. Webb Densmore is a serious candidate to join the team

Only two managers uploaded their 15 top prospect players since I asked a couple of days ago: hiya2124 & kytihu

I'd like to add a couple of 15yo, if there are any high OR, high quality available, in the next 24 hours.

upload to ppmdb.bulls4ever.com/Impo...

Bob Young & Webb Densmore are the front runners

Bob has near perfect qualities

NICE got more players in!!

Camrawrn and Mrbrightside098 uploaded their players

Back Jon Hacker is also in the consideration

Jon Hacker not as near perfect as Bob Young but very high quality player.

In a note: I'd like to have 2 and up to 4 15yo super high top prospects sitting in the bench and earning training bonus.

there are several others with very good qualities that would sure make a U18 team (whenever it exists)

One of the requirements: commitment from their teams to play those players major minutes even if they are not "ready" to be starters on their teams.

Next season we will have 3 players or so with 100% chemistry or close. Plan is to sit those and give those high quality youngsters some Playing Time to gain chemistry.

I uploaded my young players though I doubt any would be useful. Basham has great qualities but 5/6 CL and only 316 OR. Pina is similar with slightly weaker qualities and OR but better CL. Mccullough is probably still my most interesting player.

I have not had any NT 15 year olds come along this season. Getting closer and closer. SO should be last week of the season.

yeah i saw some "good" players but just cant make the cut.

just as example ... Hoss Basham has "good" qualities compared to Hacker and Young

Young, for example, is 94+ in every major category but FiP. And his fip is higher than the highest Basham quality.

that doesnt mean Basham is "bad" he would be a candidate for a U18 team (more slots available)

His qualities are similar to Densmore but then, as you said, the current OR and CL makes a "big" difference.

I gave Basham as example, but several other players recently imported that are in about the same situation: very good players for a future U18 team

This got to be one of the biggest upset on Handball history

Iran beat Czeck 41-26 !!!

that places us in chance to be in 2nd place if we beat Turkey by 6 or more BUT at the same time we will be in a must win match against Iran.

Before this upset we could afford to even lose to them as long as not a huge differential.

we play Iran next.

Only Chile ranks better than Iran and Czech is ranked 10th .

failing to use the right tactics can be devastating.

Larky and myself discuss, sometimes for hours, to try to prevent choosing the wrong one.

What Bulls meant to say, is that only Chile is worse than Iran in the total ranking of countries.

This is a bit of a misleading stat however. Iran has already more than doubled their ranking point total from last season. They're a much improved team this year, and are a definite threat.

That being said, there's still a lot that can happen. Portugal has been playing all games on High so far, so there's always a chance for an upset there.

Also, Turkey only lost to Iran by 2 points when they 1st played this season (and Turkey was actually winning at the half), so it's not a foregone conclusion that Iran will win that game.

There's lots of international handball yet to be played, and if not anything else, Iran's win today proves that the CR is hardly bullet proof.
