Subject: [nt] News and Such

Just been scanning through what is in the database, and if anyone has players that could be added to that, please either SK mail me with them or add them up to the database here:

I'll probably start sending messages about players in a the next couple of days to ensure everything is up to date. Seems to be a shortage of midfielders and defenders especially at the moment.

Types of players I am interested in finding at the moment:

- high passers with defending
- fast defenders (brilliant + pace and at least incredible def)

Might not exist, but got to ask to find these things out.

There's a date in that database that tells you since when the player was updated.

Best tool is the "sort" by skills. I had a user who lied about his player's skill and it caused me to use this player in qualifier matches when there were better options available. When in doubt ask for a temporary ad to verify player skills. There are still a few players not in the database.

I have Jamal's skill and I will find it and sokkermail him to you. Congratulations on your win. I hope you're here for the customary 2 terms.

Aye. I know a bit about that sort of NT database through my England scouting. Not sure why players seem not to be appearing in the archive if I put them there though.

holy cow, that guy is sick.

Needs serious SERIOUS tech. Any decent techy forward will run right by him. That said, as a 20 year old, he is SICK.

Will get his pace drilled to divine :) then maybe technique...till then his best position would be left/right def I think :s.

Since when did defender's tech affect his ability to defend against an oncoming striker?

Now, handling balls in the air - thats a different story.

I'd train the tech first, it's really bad. pace doesn't matter if he can't handle a pass or free kick/corner kick

tech is irrelevant to a forward running by him.

Prob with tech is balls that are moving tend to bounce off him and he can get stripped.

Sick player.

Typical that he is in a weak team though ;)

NT database seems to be down, not sure if it is returning (sk mailed ploppy about this).

I did back up what was in there either on Monday or Tuesday, so nothing more than a few updates is going to be lost if it isn't coming back. If it isn't, I'll look into setting it up on my ISP hosting if I can.

Just 3 hours and 29 minutes till the opening kickoff for gibbage debut as the USA NT coach!

LETS GO USA!

Indeed. Lineup and everything is all set and ready to go :)

Yeah!

We can do it!

GO USA!
