Subject: [Old] Canada Senior NT Discussion

Save your pennies people, OAP management is discussing the future of NT 17 year old universal side midfielder Freddy Slater and it appears that he could be relocating at season's end.

A) What the hell was Indonesia doing, playing very high in a friendly, and B) How did we not win against that formation?

That was similar to the Man Utd vs. Liverpool game earlier today. Man Utd dominated in possession and shots but were unlucky because of mistakes.
Man U also had a better team than Liverpool, and so did Canada...

Looks like Canada is cursed...

Well it looks like Canada IS cursed...

After todays game where we were better in all aspects,(prove me if I am wrong).
I assumed they would play a 4-5-1 so I used the same. We outplayed them in every position and BP and even in tactic but we still lost??
Thay played long ball with 5 mids; their tendency of attacks was L,R where their have been much stronger in the middle with 3 players.
Our aggressive play may couse the penalty but not necessarily.

Yup, it makes no sense that we lose that game. Play the exact same formation as other team, better tactics, and better players, yet we lose. The only thing I can think of is us using offside trap often may have caused chances for Ukraine, since they didn't get called for many offsides, but I assume our chemistry is pretty high at this point?

Offside trap is lethal if your team (specifically D) doesn't have high chem.

Maybe devs have implemented a hidden factor in the game by taking in account the real life FIFA ranking. That might explain our desapointing results...

Meh . . . .
I blame the fans. . . . . It has to be that typical expat Foreign-Home crowds Canada seems to draw for National fixtures at home

Needs money for facility upgrades for NT Players. Only making 7.7 mil a week. So help a brother out and check out my players over the next week.

First world cup qualification match of the season today... Lets hope we have some luck on our side for once!! Looking forward to seeing how you guys set up the team for the game today.

Finnland is the strong opponent. We are fielding our best 11 and hopefully we gonna hit the tactic and with some luck get the positive result.

Gawd... seven off sides!

No wonder with their defensive line with rating of 20 almost every player and they played often offside trap unlike us they are good at it.
With long ball we outplayed them in the midfield and overall???

Hind-sight is 20-20, but I'd say we'd have been better off with possession against those guys (normal in the second half produced more chances, but possession, I think would have been even more).

Against an even to stronger opponent, I've found that the defensive line pushed forward to offensive, while adding a bit of a bonus to offensive rating, allows a greater number of on target shots to score. Dropping the two central defenders back, diminishes this significantly without damaging the offensive rating too much, by greatly reducing chances against and their efficiency.
