Předmět: National Team

Added Bain, Adams, and Romo.

I wish they would have told the NT's about the change earlier because I could have opened up 6 spots. I chose those 3 because They have the best oppurtunity to help not only this years team but next years team.

With the recent change with the additions of the U17 and U20 NT's we will be losing 6 players next year.

With that I think its time I introduce what Willmot, Bulls4ever and I have been working on for our NT Database.

Dang- Gave in.

best of luck to all American lads against the Dutch tomorrow.

I'm finishing it got delayed due to end of year festivities. Need to fix a couple of bugs and do some more testings.

good luck tomorrow

oh well, we lost and missed a penalty!! damn Isaac Buchanan

daaaaaamn, that was close... stats weren't all that bad either.

KAZAKHSTAN 1 x 1 INDONESIA
That was a good result as they are the worst teams. a tie reduce the chances for any surprise.

NORWAY 1 x 3 CHINESE TAIPEI
Big upset here. If we confirm favoritism and beat Chinese Taipei, it was great that Norway lost.

BULGARIA 1 x 0 BRAZIL
I'd have preferred a draw. It puts us in big pressure to beat Brazil next match.

How do you miss a pk? Lol. Oh well. I figured wed win or lose close. Maybe shpy kdbhavebgone a 3.5.2 as I have all friendlies. Suggestions?

funny is that my suggestion was to take Bernard for a Midfielder. And he had to be the one to miss the freaking PK!!!

Not sure against Brazil ... will take a look. He played Long Ball on 2nd half and made some changes ... perhaps went more offensive. Haven't looked yet.

Playing 4-4-2. their defense and midfield are as good as our 4-4-2. But they have better strikers.

Brazil is somewhat similar to Spain and we lost both Spain games ....

As much as losing to the Netherlands didn't help us, it certainly didn't hurt either. It was definitely winnable, but the odds were always against us. Even so the stats were not terrible, and really, it was a contest that the goalkeepers settled between themselves.

At this point, if you have a system, keep to it - too many changes will alter the chemistry of the squad and we'll need the best line-up possible up against Brazil. Fortunately, we'll be at home, but unfortunately, they'll be clamouring for points having dropped three of them in Bulgaria. I'd been looking at Brazil's line-ups recently, and they seemed to be doing a lot of experimenting, especially for that "weird" Argentina game...

Anyway, we have a week to look things over.

Reading the Brazil forum, here's some of the things that they've had to say:

Apparently they're discussing the current RB/LB selection, seems they don't like their RB and LB selections. Seems to be a common theme these days for many countries... otherwise, nothing terribly insightful and nothing that can't be equally gained looking at their match reports...


And yes, I can read a little Portuguese...

i may not be able to say this later, so best of luck to our lads tomorrow against Brazil.

Thanks for the insight!!

he also wants to rotate his center defender as they are all with 100 chemistry, but the best ones are no more than 29 game rating.

If Brazil rotates the defense, it may weaker then

bah! 1-1... and not too much insight from the Brazilian forum...

"almost another defeat..."
