Asunto: National Team

uhm... FLANK... wingerz position :), ain't talking about ur defence m8 or the space in ur attack :)

I know what you are talkin gabout, but I guess you've never watched thew game at all, you're just talking about screen of tractic? ;)

Cause there isn't free place actually, as Veart goes there often ;)

Still don't know what it has to do with danger :)

For example the game against ireland....

Treanor, Gilchrist AND lizzragga (irish players) constantly had free play, no australian ever came near them.... ur defensive MIDS did stop Treanor (logical) but Gilchrist and Lizzragga still kept the free play....

Btw veart didn't came anywhere near them lol, he wus central placed just before the attackers.... When ireland is attacking they always got 3 free men....

Just giving advice :)... Like i allready said, treanor and the other central placed mid of ireland were beeing stopped by ur defensive mids but the wingers kept runnig without any1 in their back... Lucky it wus ireland :)

BTW... (last btw), not going for elections :) dun wanna see u lose it (joke :p, LAUGH !)... just passing by :)

borkos rlz :P

Haha.... ^^

Stop kissing his azz (jk)

Hm..propably because wingers were ought to be stopped by defenders? And they actually were stopped by them?

Are you aware that Australia colonials were convicts?

Don't mind Piada, borkos. ;)

for the record: BC = BondsCoach (dutch word); it means NT Coach :p

umm...ok...that was an interesting convo to wake up too

... Well... Bonds is dutch but COACH is pretty good english :)

langdon up defender!!! sk mail :P

Lucky it wus ireland :)

Here is the squad for Uruguay. If you don't see your player - don't worry, it doesn't mean that he is too weak for NT! He may just have too low one of crucial skills - in most opportunities it was pace. I've talked already with most managers about training schedule, and I'll contact the rest in few days.

I hope for a good game. Uruguay has more users[About 200 with 120 of Aussie users], though I think we can beat them.

haha, i think in the GK you mean Stephen O'Neill not John O'Neill.

Im certainly looking forward to this game with two of my players playing :P.

Anyway, lets see how the youth of Australia go.

Ahh you're right - Stephen. In the line up he's written correct. :)

After hard beginning - a nice ending. I think that Boutsanis and Beauchamp were just scared by the Australian NT dress, though later they played nice. Schwarzer had a enormous pace, compared to other players :)

Thompson was playing odd today - no good passes from wing, though he had ball a couple of times....Leijer amused me twice, when he was taking the free kick....and passing the ball to Boutsianis :))

Defence worked pretty well, of course they still have some weak skills, though - not for long. Especially Henderson made a good impression at me. Bourke was solid, Cunico as well - especially with kicking the ball forward, Maninga is only 18yo :), and Rose....he would be one of the best, though he has tragic form.

O'Neill - saved us a couple of times at the beginning. Nice debut.

About forwards:
Mitchell - 1/1, nice header :)
Storey - 2/3, he made us live in the 2nd half :) Scored a real beauty with long shot.
Dreger - 0/2, sucked a little bit due to form, had some dribbles though.

Ufff...pretty hard game :)
