Asunto: National Team

If our strikers with much higher shooting haven't scored, then I don't think that v. good shooter would make it...

I know, but he was in a better position than anyone else got throughout the game.

It seems to me the most important question here is: why did he get into that position and not your best striker? :-P

Should i be resting beaves and wilko today to make sure they dont get re injured?

Late notice i know but i didnt think about it until now.

Schmick, id suggest doing whats best for your team, and your players. The Aus team is almost certainly out of the WC and in the end, the better your team does the better is is for the AUs team in the future.

Im going to play beaves. He should be almost better. Ill rest wilko since he only just came to slightly injured and last time he played slightly injured he ended up out for 20odd days. Also its more important that beaves gets training.

Come on!!

A misleading scoreline is all I can say, but Italy were just far too much better on this day. Ando getting injured was a blow, we could've kept it down otherwise.

It was already 2:0 when Ando gone down...:/

italy are just too strong. Might have been a whole lot different had we gotten past france and instead of chasing goals try and defend goals, but those are the breaks. It was a good effort from Sriram, and from those involved in training the NT players, and hopefully we bounce back next time better for it but with the amount of users we have compared to most other nations it's going to be another difficult road.

Check out Lietuva...almost same amount of players...and v. good team.

yes they have about as many users as we do now, but we certainly weren't like that last season. Things have been improving here at a great rate, i've seen the users go from a stalling 40 odd to now over 130 and still rising so i think on the assumption that the majority stay and contribute to helping the NT there is no reason why we couldn't start beating other top to middle-top ranged nations :). I think we seriously are lacking one striker and possibly one extra gun midfielder, from watching the matches.

Canada are a better example than Lietuva. Hardly any users, but a strong NT.

We have few great mids, which are still in best training age, so don't worry about this formation...if they are trained(I hope so...I was giving few tips about it, but I don't know if they're used..). But forwards...we need one for sure. I would like to train him(^^) but there's no good material to do it :/.

When I'm on Skype then I always try to inform at least 10 Australian users about sokker...

You're right :-)
USA does good too...

Debatable. USA got completely outclassed by England, and for a long time they had more users than us, and I think, started at the same time.
