Asunto: National Team

*4-4-2 to 4-3-3

UPDATE--
Had a great win but we let a goal go in the last minutes which hurt us when comparing our GS/GA to the Bulgarians.

Next 2 matches are against the country formerly known as Taiwan (amazing hot the world changes and most people dont even know (insert- Dane Cookwww.youtube.com/watch?v=0... ) which should be a victory. However this is a team that beat Norway and led our group until their most recent slide. I wouldn't say its a sure lock.

and

Norway- Which should be a good game. They do not have the players that we have OR-wise so we should win. I would love to go int next season in 2nd place.

Tough giving up an equalizer at the 88th minute.

Chinese Taipei has a lower Team Rate but their Manager has done a great job so far. We got to be more aggressive next time we face them.

This was the most disappointing result, IMO, this season. I heard on news fans were throwing stones to the USA National bus ...

Lol... That sucks.

*takes a moment from throwing rocks at the MNT bus*

We ~*~knew~*~ Taiwan were going to be tough, regardless of what their team ratings were; we should have gone full-speed for that match... we underestimated them completely and suffered for it (thankfully, it was a draw instead of a loss).

There's only Norway left before we get the energy reset for next season, so there's no reason to play anything less than VH. We want (nay, ~*~NEED~*~) to end this season in the top half, because when we start the next half, we've got the likes of the Netherlands, Brazil, and Bulgaria waiting for us again.

This has been your unauthorized daily dose of vinegar.

*returns to throwing rocks at the MNT bus*

We beat Norway !! yeah!! I feel happy as this was the first time I had to work on the lineup and feel happy I could help

And the best thing is that Chinese Taipei tied against Netherlands and Brazil beat Indonesia

Unfortunately Bulgaria beat Kazakhstan by 3x0

That put us 4th 1 point behind Brazil and 4 behind Netherlands and same points as Bulgaria.

Good thing is that Norway is far behind now

That was seriously a good win for the USA.

I'll like seeing us in the top half of the table (Taiwan managed a draw against the Dutch, so we're just ahead by one point). Hoepefully, some good results will set us up for another WC appearance.

yeah .. but that would be hockey lol

Did we fix our bus or players had to walk to the stadium? I guess they played hard cause they were afraid of another throwing rocks at the bus !!

we do have a second half of the qualification round... and we have to face off against the top three teams in the group first thing. hence, "hopefully some good results..."

a group of fans threatened to use a wrecking ball, that's plenty of motivation!

Apparently I get three incumbency votes for the national team. I'm voting two votes to keep the current manager, but I'm not quite sure what to do with that third vote yet...

How do you know you have 3?
