Asunto: National Team

oh god, hirons just butchered a simple tap in there

EDIT: hirons is now officially australia's butcher

EDIT EDIT: ouch, an injury AND a goal?

EDIT EDIT EDIT: and injury to oliviera as well? now 1 man down
(editado)

hirons isn't the worst. Nobody can ever overtake Amien as the worst it just isn't possible hehee. Still thought we should have buried that game so much earlier than we did. Then to cop two injuries to Ando and Oliveira made things worse. At least Willis continued to stockpile assists in this mini world cup. 7 assists from 3 games for Willis :).

This game is starting to loose any sense...:/ just watch this and previous game of Polska...pfff...

I blame you :p. You are the common link between both. Willis and Polska :p.

C'mon cometer, don't forget about Hrehoresin, a guy who with magical striker skill scored 2 out of 23 shots!

ed: I'm a hyperlink! :p

yeah Hrehoresin was pretty close to Amien. Both of them would be right up there with being the worst converters.

We get Shqiperia next week :). Probably a good thing considering Oliveira is out injured, but should give Willis a few more assists, if I don't decide to give him a breather and give Zdrilic a run, we'll see.

Mind that Amien and Hrehor played together. I have shivers when I think about it.

Yeah Shiq :D Andy must get 7 more assists during this tournament so please keep him playing ^^

btw - got assists nr. 20, 21 in NT. Tomorrow he will play his official game nr. 100! Big chance for getting assist nr. 50. What a week :)

I'm liking this tournament. Israel knocked off Srbija so Srbija is in the other half of the draw to us now :).

Cunico with a career best of 57, very nice to see, now one day i will get to see the match

are there any stats? I'd like to know how high is Andy at best assist makers :)

for this mini world cup, the stats should be in the forum there. I'll link it there in a minute. He was leading the assists before this game, I assume he'll still be there unless Peru had a field day for assists.

Good game. We deserved the win, but we also deserved to concede. I felt exposed seeing only 3 defenders in the box. It could have cost us goals. Would like to see more players crowding the danger area when deep in defence.
Good positioning of the strikers. Only a couple of off-sides yet we were still able to get on the end of a few through-balls.

Every time we went forward, Willis opened them up like a tin of tuna.

should have been 4 in the box and one just outside it. I think what happened is the extra defender kept going across to tackle the winger since the other player got beaten but I'll recheck to make sure.

I fear what Willis is going to do against Shqiperia next week, I really do.

He's opened up both South Africa and Honduras in consecutive matches, so we'll wait and see what happens next match. At some stage I'll need to start looking for other approaches to goal, was tossing up whether to this game but then saw their lineup 4 hours early and that told me they weren't defending the wings so I left the winger there.

i thought they tried to defend against willis but at the wrong wing, or was that just me....

Well done guys. You shouldn't have much trouble next week and maybe a run all the way is on the cards? Good luck!
