Asunto: National Team

I'm shocked you sold your best English Defender. I thought he was your pride and joy!

He was drunk. :p

Hm...Newhill and Veart out for Nederland :s
That doesn't sound optimistic...

I had to sell him because he was holding back my team. Couldn't (well could, but wasn't worth it) train defending because of him.

Although I've still got the 2nd highest (on ratings) defender outside of Poland even without him :).

Veart shmeart! The Ozbey is more than willing to play ;)

What level of passing do the likes of Veart have, too? Ozbey should pop again in < a month (woohoo! ^_~), so he'll be a fairly formidable player, for my team at least!

send me his skills, but I don't think he stands a chance. :)

Ok...tactic etc made. Looks like a very hard one with those high pm mids of Nederland...especially without Veart, Zdrilic and Newhill :/.

Zdrillic is ready to play again

He is still lightly injured and in tragic form, so he plays for 50% of his skills :(

I'll post here some info as game starts, so if you want to, check it :)

Game squad:

1 Brendan Ando GK
2 Noah Faria DEF
3 Jamie Garland DEF
4 Karl Pilic DEF
5 Wesley Broxton DEF
6 Damian Whitehouse MID
7 Noah Baveas MID
8 Alex Galal MID
9 Stephen North MID
10 Stuart Widera MID
11 Esala Hrehoresin ATT

12 Jamie Lawton GK
13 Lucas Howarth DEF
14 Vince Collina MID
15 Jeremy Timpano MID
16 Stan Amien ATT

Whitehouse first 25min to get wingdef red carded. Then Timpano on the pitch. What a shame I can't use Zdrilic or Veart :( Zdrilic would kill wingdefs[if in form...] and Veart...I hope Widera will do at least 60% of what Veart is doing. New defence setting also, and forward more near wing, to try dribbling defs from right. We'll see how the match goes, though propably it'll end with a loose. Nederland is Nederland. Let the show go on! :)

obviously didn't work. 4 - 0 the result. Unlucky there with the 3 injuries we had in the lead up but im surprised we still only played one striker and didnt have a central midfielder, something which i've found critical if you want to get a lot of possession. Apart from that netherlands are too good, and its better then our 5-0 loss to them 2 seasons ago.

0:4...high defeat, but what could be done if even Nederlands winger gets easily through our def mids and defs? :(

There are 3 little plus of this game.

1)no injuries
2)I've seen what each def/mid needs most, will contact managers with training propositions
3)We already played the worst games in group, so it can be only better.

If I would use 2 strikers, then I would have delete one of defensive players or wingers. So I used three DM, though we had no one with pace, tech and mid skills to use in real center, as Veart was injured.

injured their middie for 26 days ;)

Nope, he got himself injured by kicking the ball :)
The funny thing is I was joking with his owner that he'll get injured today...

yep theres also the other plus i got the prediction correct :p. But yeh most of the times they got through was due to our defenders shere lack of pace in general.
