Excuses, excuses :p.

from the beginning it was clear that NZ are going to win of island, so i'm not suprised ;)
better defense, offense and almost the same midfield

our defs werent able to tackle your att's( wordclass att's in my eyes ) :p

and yep we missed 2 important players, thats why i have change my tac a little bit

On Saturday we will play against some random weak team who managed to lose in World Cup final. They should be quite easy pray for us, definitely good ranking points coming which insures our place in TOP 30. The call themselves Easti. They have bunch of double divine defenders, quadruple magical+ mids, triple divine strikers, but that`s weak. Rob Morocombe: " I`m in divine form, which means you can see my full potential on Saturday." Our new keepers trainer Johnny Bodger added, that he has taught Kaz how to score goals, don`t underestimate the keeper in goal. He might come and shock.

As I mentioned Morocombe is in top form, now he has to stay on divine for next two seasons. Good news is that defender Edwards is starting to re-establish his form. Hopefully it keeps raising. Another defender Findlay needs also to improve his form if he wants to play in World Cup qualification matches. John Root and Josh Perry must do sth aswell.

Jim Anngow - very promising keeper. If trained, then definitely future U21 and NT keeper.

Sean Woods - nice pull from tester. 100% U21 and NT player.

I will to some advertisement and try to fine trainers for them.

There was nothing to do today. Eesti dominated in midfield and that decided the match. Next week against Australia will be interesting. Our best! mids were killed today, it was really fun to watch them getting injured. Especially Irvine, who got 2 injuries today - firstly slight injury after playing 1 minute and few minutes later a bigger one. So for next mids I can only use one of our first team mids. Also we have a defender problem too. Will be very hard the end of season.

But on the positive side - the keeper Jim Anngow will be trained as a keeper. I found team for him in Eesti.
Hopefully Woods will be also trained, haven`t get the answer from his owner yet.

the injuries were indeed fun but I'm probably using fun in the opposite meaning to what you were although none were critical players for next week :p.
(edited)

Crazy.. 52 days of injuries! We will still win though. >:)

Bugger, would have liked that keeper...

You better hope so, otherwise you won't be getting a 2nd seed as you're outside the top 30 again ;).

Although that works in a negative way because it means Vilpu has to focus on winning the match more :p.

Now it`s really hard to get the second seed. We are 31 and we need to win. Australia is beatable however they have advantage this time, but then comes Finland. Should I say no to finnish team and find someone easier? I have never broke my promises, should I do this time

Stick with the Finnish.

Yes, agree.

Btw the keeper you wanted is now in good hands and will be trained as a keeper.

Will be playing against Australia tomorrow. Yes, we already beat them in SuperHyperMega Mini World Cup final. They don´t need any introduction. I can`t use 7 players, who I would like to see running on my monitor tomorrow. Trying something new:)

Feels like a game of poker. Is he, or is he not bluffing. We'll have to wait and see :).

Should be a good game tomorrow.

I am going to try out a new tactic, some new risky throw-ins..Will see how it goes. I have some serious doubts.

It was difficult to choose the line-up.
- Brent Almendra..planned to use him as a def-mid..injured
- Edwards/Findlay - very low form, both would play tomorrow
- Williams, Petherick, Irvine, Watts, Sansom...injured or red card.
After that I searched some new players Douglas Pritchett and zack ngatai. Both have a reason, why I can`t use them.

Luckily all strikers are ok. There will be new player on midfield, took him to NT a minute ago, has a low form though.

Hopefully everything will be ok for next season.

What can be better, than beating Australia twice in a season?:)

I knew before the game Willis will be used as a high winger, but still decided to try 4 defenders and get more men on midfield. Our wingbacks were set to play quite wide in some cases and it worked well stopping Willis. I love Brent Gilbert - He is worse than Morocombe, but dribbles like a god. Shame we scored only 2 goals, missed quite a few one-on-ones against keeper. My throw-in plan didn´t work as I planned. Won`t try that again.

I think it was a deserved win and yet another exciting game against Aussies.
