Subject: [NT] halfway through group play

We are halfway through group play. Thismorning, we played Brasil, a side with players very similar in skill to our own. USA won 3-1, dominating the pitch the entire 90 minutes. We outshot our opponent 10 to 2, only giving up a goal on a set piece after a silly foul right outside of the box.

USA moves up to second place in group J, and we are now just two points behind Lietuva. I am confident that we will keep our position in the top two after 4 more matches when group play is concluded.

go USA!

but Beasley got injured for 18 days. I will miss him in Bundesliga! ****

Yes beasley will be missed.


We've done pretty well with an injured stokes and formless pickens.

*** He needed two more passing skills and than he would have been priceless...

whatever, the fun having NT member is bigger than money or skillups :)

Well skillups are important for the team, and prolonging himself a starting sssspot too.

I don't know what has happened to Pickens. I am starting to wonder if playing 2 matches a week(1NT, 1 League) is what has caused the form drop. He was always at divine before joining Team USA. Not complaining, as it is an honor to help. Just wondering.

its just bad luck

For Beasley it was the other way round. Divine form when playing for NT (beginning of last season) Kysupercat did not play with him at the end of last season (dropped in Form dramatically to tragic). Since fro is again playing with him, his form is back on high levels. Dont know if this has system, it may also well be that it was bad luck...

He probably thought you were too wrestny which is why he went into bad form ;).

Anyways, he is injured now :)

Btw you are way more wrestny than i am, Mr. Gribbage :P

im not sure what wrestny is, but it is all just luck im sure

I'm testing a theory about form, since it affects my strikers so much. Maybe you guys can help.

1) plays too much, needs rest --> Form drops

2) plays too lillte, need to play --> form drops

MZ has that format for form, I'm sure #2 is right but I don't have enoough evidence for #1 yet.

its kind of polish :P

The meaning is a top secret and only known by certain users ;).

Stokes will be ready to play again in a day or two. Thankfully his form has gone up some since he became injured. I am hoping the upward form will continue once he has healed.

No match today?
