Good work. Let's do it!

Shingayi Kalaka is transferlisted.

I am very surprised to see, that his Stamina, Passing and Defender-level are lower than indicated in the DB.
Did the owner give you wrong infos?
I corrected the DB

I just noticed, that he's transferlisted because his ex owner has been replaced by a new user and because he's in the u21 squad....

mybe I should call up some more players with a hopefully good future to avoid that they disappear all of a sudden?

May be his next owner will be more reliable..

I would call 40 players to avoid loosing some players, may be you can fire some of Marc's prospects that have certain future and call some others..but there are not that many worth U21 anyway..

there are hardly any players worth calling in that have a decent level (for their age) and that don't play at Marc's Pace Academy.
I called in Wiseman Poggenpoel which makes 38 players in the squad now.

Kalaka has been bought by a polish guy for a very high price But he hasn't taken him over since yesterday 16h....I am a little worried he ends up in another inactive team.
After how much time he'd be on the TL again if he doesn't take him in at all?

Remember the previous owner can send him away also..so it doesn't really matter. The new owner is logging daily and is dealing friendlies so it shouldn't be that bad..

I hope you're right. But there's nö previous owner anymore to send him away...;-)

Oh damn I forgot, it's a special case:-) Well usually it takes 1 week to cancel the transfer if both teams don't send him.. then he is back on TL. So I guess it applies also..

problem's solved, he's been taken over by the new owner ;-)

very very cruel and disappointing match today against Cameroun.
- the game showed cruelly our limits in midfield: Winstanley lostevery single ball, Lingard was only a little better. It went a bit better when Lutumba came in...at least Ramulondi made a decent match. I have to admit as well that my tactic in midfield sucked (or theirs was really good)..
- in defense, a stupid mistake from Morris (his low form showed terribly there) gave them the only serious occasion they had..and of course they scored
- our usully so efficient attack wasn't good enough today either. several huuuuuuge one on one chances were missed

leaves us with a sad 1:1 :-/

well, at least it was only a friendly game

You've pretty much summorized everything that happend out there, not much to add..I was about to write the same points..as you said at least you picked bad luck in a friendly..

I didnt like their tactic very much, there were some shaky movements, but it's true the center defense was crowded well and our strikers didn't dominate as usual (apart from those wasted break aways)..our mids just lost way too many balls..

Their keeper did well, and we had to hit the post as well.

arghhhh, we lost against Russia with a score of 2:4.

It's a shame, we would have had enough chances (one shot on the bar by Methula and at least 3 more one on one chances, by serola mainly) to get a tie...but our problem today was in defense. even if well positioned (offsiedes worked fine, the russians hardly got any long passes to go toward our goal), our defenders lost way too many balls, getting tackled by their attackers...we got 3 out of 4 goals this way. a true shame. all except frederiks got their limits shown by our opponent :-(

I am sorry about a mistake I made with the lineup. I set the 2nd backup winger-tactic for both tactics, instead of the adapted "classic one" for the first 60 minutes. i am really sorry. but I guess this wasn't an real inconvenience, as our mid were anyway much weaker than theirs and at least we got some space and some nice flank attacks, one of which led to our 2nd goal.

a pity, we should have gooten more out of that game and I have a feeling we will regret this later on in the competition...:-/

Shame really, we had lot of chances to even win the game, if I saw corectly both Methula and Serola hit crossbars and Serola wasted another 2 1on1s..the Russian strikers on the other hand scored from everything, except the penalty..

I was also surprised by the winger, but as you said Lingard surprisingly played well there as well as Winstanley who created our 2nd goal, Russian coach definitely didn't expect this and we had tons of space there..

Our 1st loss after how many matches?
