pshh, he's already had his hattrick from some beautiful goals. he didnt need to take those penalties seriously ;)

besides, he felt bad for the poor boy who was sent off and decided not to make him feel so bad :P

indeed. Missed all 3.

Our depth is increasing but our strength seems to be levelling out as other sides start getting ahead of us. That's down to number of active users producing youth really and that's just the nature of the game. We'll continue to punch above our weight though for as long as we're able to (hopefully permanently :p).

Don't you dare bringing him in II.04!!!
^^
2009-08-09 11:02:37
why because you're interested :p.
2009-08-09 11:04:00
LMAO, I wish I could!
2009-08-09 11:05:49
na.. he's weak in striker...
I got one better...
ooops, there goes the surprise effect...
2009-08-09 11:07:59
I could but I've got 3 strikers like him already, not quite the defense level though. I don't think I need to be splashing out for a 4th.

Again though, very enticing for those in need of a quality striker.
2009-08-09 11:43:56
Hmmm... he'd look pretty nice next to Hirons and Link...
2009-08-09 15:49:28
Would look awesome next to Gmyrek too...
2009-08-09 23:52:50
Psycho Clowns would have to be happy with that price.
2009-08-10 04:17:43
Are Psycho Clowns ever happy?

Good luck for tomorrow! Hopefully it will be injury free match. I already can´t use half of my starters tomorrow.

I predict 3:2 NZ:)

Looking forward to it. I'm sure you'll overcome most of the problems and come up with something that works.

I'm expecting a back 5 across the back though and a high winger. Hoping our defense can hold firm though and prevent you getting through us. Time will tell though :).


@everyone else

The match is set and we're ready to take on New Zealand. Normally I'd have been careful with players playing in qualifying matches but I don't think that applies to anyone in Australia this week anyway. My apologies if it does and a player gets injured. Hopefully the game will be injury free.

We got beaten by them in the Mini World Cup final. New Zealand have to win this game to move back into the top 30 teams, so a loss to them today would probably spell the end of their campaign to make the top 30 and grab a number 2 seed. That would make their job a little harder to qualify coming from a number 3 seed and even potentially drawing us in the qualifying group.

For ourselves, we should already be safely secure for a 2nd seed but a win today will definitely see ourselves as a 2nd seed next campaign which would achieve one of the main goals of the season.

Unfortunately we've got a few players out through injury or through form issues so they will not be able to take part today. Still it's not too bad and we've got the majority of players available to take on New Zealand.

We haven't lost back to back games against NZ for quite a while now, although Vilpu has definitely steered them back on course. I think I picked up a few valuable lessons last time where I didn't get the positioning quite right and we got pipped 3-2 or whatever it was. Hopefully some of them work out right for us today (in under an hour as a matter of fact).

Morcombe and Taylor are again the two players I will be hoping to have a bad day as they are what I'd consider the two likely players to influence the result one way or the other. The rest of the NZ squad aren't as threatening but can still put up a decent fight.

Should be a very tough game today and I hope we come out on top :).

You remembered the simple rule right? :P
2009-08-15 08:19:53
Well yes I did, that was one such change. Particularly with Byers/Storey unavailable. Although I considered not following the rule because I don't want it broken :p.
