Asunto: National Team

At least one good thing you can take from that match - you are definitely doing better than the previous coaches, who would probably have lost that by a lot more than what you did.

België 9 : 0 Australia

Yeah ;)

Not forgetting the 2 10-0 losses to England.

England is way better than Belgium :)

And 0:1 with Mexico lol :D

Pfft. Like I've said in the past - a win is a win, whether it is 50-0 or 1-0. England have only lost to The Netherlands, Italy (although admiteddly the tactic was poor in that game) and Poland, which isn't that bad going.

Yeah, England is one of the best teams :)
Anyway, Australia imo has no chance with Italy :(
But Hrvatska can be beaten :]

Don't underestimate them. They have some pretty fast players which can be very dangerous, which I found out from when England played them.

Alright, Hudap's on sale, I don't know why.

He seems a bit old to be bought for training in a main skill, but i might try to pick him up and give him a few levels of pace while i bring Ando up to speed, as it were.

Hm...0:5 with the second best team in sk...not bad :)

Alright, Croatia v Australia today, I won't be around to watch the match, so here's wishing we do well.

Really important match for us, we'll know whether we cut it or not with the big boys.

Gah.

Borkos got banned, here's what he wants to say:

"0:2. It`s not a good result...but it`s not bad at all. We all known that Italy and Hrvatska will be too tough too beat. But there is one result that is optimistic: Eesti 3:3 Mexico. If we`ll beatdraw Mexico we`ll have 3rd place in group, and remember that even 4th place is qualifying. So there is almost sure that we`ll go to the first World Cup :D
Anyway, why have we lost today?
Because we don`t have a classic forward. Every Att is nice in tech and pace...but we need someone that is very, very good in technique, and another guy great in pace. Someone like Duvnjak form Hrvatska - he was great today.
Our mids are at very good level, they need only playmaking(especially Hudap!).
Defenders...Broxton, Faria, Pilic - they are great. We need another one...Campbell and Alogdelis aren`t at their level at the moment. Brendan Ando - one of the best keepers in the world.
We have quite young team. So we must train them, then the success will come!
In a couple of days I`ll contact all NT players clubs with info what do they players need. I think that`s all now."

Any idea why borkos was banned??

Surely not from what he has said above.

I was banned for some discussion on transfer thread in Poland ;)
2 days....anyway one mod said that he doesn't think I should be banned;
But I'm free now ;)

Phew.

Finally.
