Griever [del] to All
Next Saturday we play against Indonesia. Our youngsters take on their U22 squad added with some U23's also. We planned a U21 match, but since most of our young players turned 22 we agreed on allowing several 22 year olds. That means that some regulars like Bill Kingi, Josh Perry, John Root, Greg Lachlan and Nigel Pollock may be in the starting eleven.

We want to fit in some new players as well, so we will have to wait and see what they can do. We are much higher on the world ranking (39th) than they are (71st). But that counts for nothing on Saturday, because they have a much bigger pool to recruit from. They have 99 users against our 27. So despite they are considered one of the weaker Sokker nations, we will have to watch out for complacency.

Indonesia played rather well this season. They defeated Vietnam two times and won against Senegal in group B. They drew against Senegal too and won 3 friendlies.
Langhe is the man behind the “success”. His team Langhes promoted to second division with a solid keeper! Where he proved to be a solid tactician.

This will be the last match of our campaign as the World Cup starts next week. We would like to thank you all for the confidence you have given us. It has been a pleasure leading your national team. We hope we get the opportunity to lead New Zealand at the World cup, where we may surprise an opponent or two.

Some information for the tourists who want to support their glorious country on location.

Indonesia is a republic, but watch out with freedom of speech. You don’t want to insult the prophet Muhammad (that includes making a drawing of him), because 86% of the population are muslims. I suggest you take a map because the archipelago consists of more than 18000 islands on which they speak over 750 different languages. The capital Jakarta is situated on Java, one of the larger islands. If you are tired of walking you take a local taxi.

Things you might want to see are Borobudur, Toba lake, Mount Bromo.

Watch your step! You don’t want to make a komodo dragon angry!

Wow that must've taken a lot of time to construct! Nice work!

Langhe is a weak wrestny mod too, he probably leeches his tactics off other wrestnies such as gubby and borkos

tss I've been playing with a very good keeper all my career :P

Serious

But you can play against weak teams like Barhilo ;p

Because lack of young players the 24 year old richards will play. Also Pollock will play as def mid, normally a striker, please understand, i'm outta options on that position, i could putt kelly or someon else but wouldn't be fair for langhe :)

Canada's junior keeper is VG. He's been playing mostly with the new ME, and has had a better save % this past season then our divine senior keeper (whose been playing with the old ME), even tho the junior keeper has seen the better shooting ratings.

Go figure. :)

Parker sucks though =p
2008-02-16 13:48:49
He's saving all of his energy for the World Cup. :)

Only influence (slightly) is my mentor's tactics (my mentor was hellsangel)

Ban for not being a good NT coach and investigating the opponent's forums!
