Subject: [NT] Spin

Hello again, most of the users left in the game probably know me, I`m Spin, I was the manager of this national team 7 times and once for the u21 team and i would like to give it another try :)
Not too long ago i was so close to quit, but in the meantime i kinda changed my mind and decided to stay, i have some more spare time right now, time that i want to dedicate to this team. I know most of the players, some of them were in my team in the past, i also own 3 right now, i know the level, its not the greatest, we lack strikers and defenders, but i really think we can work this out and maybe get some really nice results in the upcoming season. If you think i am suitable for this position, give me a chance to prove that i`m not entirely rusted :P

Go Kiwis!!

good luck. i spent amazing moments here, very nice comunity.

thanks :)

Thank you for your votes. :)

Tomorrow we will take on Denmark in the first match of the qualifications, a really difficult team, good players, team used to the World Cup, who`s manager is a romanian user pretty known by me. He is a very good tactician, who has over 10 seasons as a manager of a national team. Its going to be hard, but i`m pretty confident we will make a decent game.
I guess it`s too late to ask someone to host this game on their stadium, but for the next home games, if anyone wants to be a host, just message me.

Thank you for your trust and let`s go New Zealand!!

Welcome back then and good luck :)

Thank you :)
Do you want to go at the game again at Denmark on your stadium ? :p

A draw against Denmark...it`s a good result, the game was pretty balanced, they had some good chances, we had some, the midfield didn`t play as expected, i made a few errors that i am going to remedy in the next games, but overall i`m happy. The defenders played well, the keeper did well too, i`m concerned about the lack of form of some players though, but we probably have the youngest squad out there, a lot of players of 24-25 yo, which i`m hoping to use this season after they pop a couple of times.

We are playing against Finland( Suomi) home in the next game of the World Cup qualifications, tough team with great players, but I'm hoping for a decent result, a 1 goals defeat or a draw would be great. As usual we have problems with the squad, low form or injuries, but we manage to surprise Denamrk in the first game, a similar team, so I don't see why this would not be possible again.

Does anybody wants to host this game on his stadium?

Good luck! NZ have great young potential 21-25 aged players and I believe they will be really good when they become near the age of 30. I think NZ squad can do good jobs 4-5 seasons later :)

Merry Christmas everybody. I`m running again for the NT position. Sorry I wasn`t so active this season on the forum. I was between jobs and moving, but I will have a bit more time this one to arrange friendlies and keep you guys updated. Pretty much all the games will be played by a younger generation, Hird, Kauffeld and the others that brought us to the WC a few seasons ago will leave the squad or be in stand by and younger players will take their place. I`ve already started to play them in the second half of the season, some games we had 24 years old average age.
We have some pretty promising strikers and midfielders, that will hopefully help us to stay in the 3rd pot for the next WC.

Good luck everybody for the new season and happy holidays.

Happy New Year. I hope 2021 will be much better than 2020 for everyone.

Thank you for your votes. This season we will play only friendlies, as we didn`t qualify for the WC.
We will play most of the games partial u27, some of them will even be 23 and 24 years of age.

Hello there...election time again :)
Last season we managed to finish on the 43`rd spot on the world rankings, a pretty comfortable position that puts us in the 3`rd pot for the WC, managing 4 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats, we met a lot of good teams like Uruguay, Norway, Austria, Bulgaria, manage to snatch a few points here and there, the team looks pretty good, the goal was to play as many young players as possible, u27 6-7 per game.
The WC group doesn`t look bad:

1. Eesti 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
2. Norge 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
3. New Zealand 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
4. Canada 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
5. Cymru 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
6. al-Jazā’ir 0 0 0 0 0-0 0

Definitly Estonia is by far the strongest, Norway has a really good manager, Canada has a similar squad as ours, young and mark around 70. I will do my best in case my re-elected.
I will try to be more active on forums, this season i was a bit busy with things, but I will keep you guys updated before and after every game.
Go New Zealand!! :)

Thank you for all the votes. I hope I will be up to the expectations.

Tomorrow we are taking on Canada, pretty balanced game, their squad is almost like ours, young but decent players. 3 points are really important to keep the chances for the 2`nd place.

3 points are really important to keep the chances for the 2`nd place.

Canada - New Zealand 0:2
Job done then :)

Really big win :)
Canada has a very good manager, they won against decent teams last season, Montenegro, USA, Uruguay, all 2`nd pot teams, and I knew it would be hard. Now we are taking on Estonia next week, hopefully I will have most of the players available.
The best defender, Lanev and the best midfielder Cocks coundt` be on the pitch for this game due to their form, but hopefully they will improve it soon.
