Asunto: National Team

Important info for Agbell.

There is this topic in Sokker international run by the DEVs.

Save NT prospects from bot team

If you have any players or potential players for NT, that are stuck in bot/banned teams, list them as being Aus NT potentials and they will look at them and potentially release them

Because I am procrastinating, I looked at all the Aus squad, and a few teams from the past few U21 seasons, and these are the players I found in bots.
Only agbell will have an idea whether it is worth asking to see if they can be saved. I believe both the U21 coach and the NT coach can request separately in the thread.

Eugene Fuller 22yo [36758487]
Stan Despotovski 23yo [36672087]
Nikola Brooks 32yo [33616351]
Craig Butera 32yo [33961483]
Bobby Santalab 34yo [30026715]

I'm not sure they are too keen on reviving the old players, so may be only worth asking for them if you truly feel they are likely to still have a spot in the NT team.

The youngers ones, I think are definitely worth posting.

Thanks, will review and post them.

The national team players are now on the TL

Might be worth joining the Asian cup, that way you don't have to think about organising friendlies, just sending the invite/accepting invite

Yeah I'm considering it, but I've already booked some friendlies for the dates it is on. They really are organising it at the last moment.

Fair enough. Hopefully the friendlies aren't too hard to find, as it seems like a lot of teams are joining things like asia and africa cup. May need to make sure none of the people you organised are in it

Tried to enter the Asian Cup... but apparently we aren't part of Asia.

What rubbish, I have just pointed out they play in the Asian Football Cofederation

So we haven’t been allowed into the Asian Cup despite the most obvious of arguments. Apparently Wales is in Asia. Anyway.... to tee up some excitement I’ve teed up a 3 leg epic against our little brothers across the ditch... to be fair they are a bit better than us so let’s see how we go...

A few gaps to fill, but I won’t take a game for the sake of taking a game. The main game this season is to hold rank, and perhaps improve it. Our squad is ageing and we lack hugely in defence. We have some tough seasons ahead.

I don’t even have the words to describe the hole NATs are in defensively. We are good for Mids and Fwds for the moment. Plenty of GK stocks... but defenders ugh. When your defenders rate in the 40s in an international match we are in big trouble.

Can you get people to TA their defenders to check the skills you are given?

Adams & Atkins are my best 2 defs but not great....3-4 seasons before the likes of Collina etc. are up to NT standard?

In some good news, Poland are out of the World Cup, didn't even make it through the group stage.

I guess any chance of making it so the system is designed in such a way that doesn't unintentionally favour large countries will go right out the window now.

Ha ha....so there is a "karma god". :)
Wouldn't like to be that manager.

Not that he's up to NT level but being Oz, Adkins has been TL'd...
