1 Goran Necevski[4/0/0] GK

2 Jamie Garland[24/0/0] DEF
3 Chris King[10/0/0] DEF
4 Karl Pilic[39/0/0] DEF
5 Cormac Maras[1/0/0] DEF

14 George Madaschi[2/0/0] MID
15 Damien Pondeljak[3/1/0] MID
16 Brett Parkinson[19/8/6] ATT

Subs:
'45 Pondeljak for Petkovic
'55 Madaschi for Murphy
'56 Parkinson for Amien
'60 Hrehoresin is changing with Parkinson for positions

Events:
5th game for Necevski
20th game for Parkinson
25th game for Garland
40th game for Pilic

I'll chech now teams for 2nd 23yo goalie.

If we'll win, then we can move one position up, from 25th to 24th.

At the moment we have 1612.2 points, we have 263 points to place nr 20, and 60 points to place nr 30, so it's almost sure that Australia will be drawn from 3rd basket to World Cup qualifications.

We are still going to play against Bolivia[competition game], New Zealand[1st team], Bulgaria[1st team?], Israel[U21 team].

What technique Hrehoresin and Amien have?

I can't tell skills of NT players.

Wasn't that bad as for an U23 team.

Our forwards couldn't dribble their defs...

4 great opportunities for Hrehoresin and Parkinson in the end..really great...though their keeper got them.

Veart was doing good job, though why did the midfield started using through passes at the end of game? :(

well i say... the forwards played shocking!

The goal by Amien was very lucky imo, but that was balanced out by the horrendous attempt in the 89th minute by Parkinson, and the subsequent pass-to-the-keeper of #9.

The tactics were countering SA too much, playing to SA's weakness rather than Australia's strength. Lost some opportunities just cause of that i reckon.

I was thinking about moving central defs higher, though I was afraid that Behr can get a through pass, dribble the defs and get a clear 1 on 1 - and it was true, in one situation he dribbled Murphy and Garland easily.

A shame that forwards were stopped every time at the first half...now it's time for competition game and New Zealand.

Can you please make sure, that bbalmaster will accept the friendly? I saw that there were problems with that lately..:/

i will make sure bball or his account minder accept the friendly and set tactics to win.

Last resort is going to bball's school and calling him to the headmaster's office to set the lineup!

Ok, good to hear that! :)

I can exclusively reveal that Howarth has divine everything including stamina though ;).

I've just found a funny thing - there are stats for unofficial sokker champion. There was one team choose to have the title, and the team that beats him gets the title. More titles = higher position.

As I see there's also a new version, with National Teams, and Australia gained the title after beating Poland! :D

We have 2 titles at the moment, after beatin Dominicana. I don't know what happens with draw, so I don't know if Australia still has the title after game with SA. :)

Edit: I've got an answer - we still have the title.

Alright, world title holders!

where are these "unofficial" stats

On polish forum, here

These are ranks:
51 x Poland
11 x Italia
4 x USA
3 x Australia
2 x Belgium
2 x Słovensko
1 x Romania

Tomorrow Sokkeroos will play against NZ. The tactic's pretty new, I have no idea how will it work, it depends on NZ's tactic.

No new face, though I think that's understandable. :)

Events:
*Ando game nr 55
*Tony Nikas game nr 10[may still not play due to form...]
*Jeremy Timpano game nr 25

Depends on our tactic eh? :) You know me, I believe in the fundemental stuff so you can expect a straight forward lineup. Nothing too crazy. :) Goodluck

Howarth up front?
