Subject: »[NT] Update

Well, I hope that this move works out well for Lemieux...I just couldnt see him in div ii Canada. And his form has plummetted this season - down to tragic. Today, I notice that Lemieux has poor form and has increased his value by more than $100,000! That is great.
I was also unsure of how to train Lemieux. In Verville Canada has a nice defensive midfielder. My vision for Lemieux was as a central but offensive midfielder - a player type that is not in vogue these days.

Jokes aside, have you contacted the new owner to inquire about Lemieux's training?

Interesting new rule of max 40 players on NT. Players won't be dropped from the current roster, but no new players can be added unless below 40.

Makes me wonder if U21s are imminent. 40 players isn't enough to run senior and junior.

when does this rule come into effect??

Should be already.

Looks like we had a "cull". You did well to get the roster under 40. :)

You didn't get Amado to 100 goals though before you put him out to pasture. That was one of your election promises. Seems you are a typical Canadian politician. :D

hehehehe lol
All of these players are temporarily sacked from the roster to make way for the youngsters. They are all on observed list so they can be easily called up again. I would like to also ask all the managers to send me updates on all of their U21 players and prospects so I can prepare better for Estonia.....

:D

Just kidding (as you know). It's Amado's fault - his form tanked at the wrong time. 100 goals would have been pretty cool. Very elite company (Bodger of New Zealand, Matthews of Ireland off the top of my head).

Tough match this weekend. Is this the U21 tournament? Best of luck!

Interesting draw for Canada's qualifying group.

Being in a group of 5 is BAD. It means you have no shot at being one of the top 3rd place finishers (two of those get in). But it's a group where Canada really shouldn't have that much trouble finishing 2nd. Sweden has been improving, but Canada is still (IMO) stronger, and it will all come down to those 2 matches.

I can ask zizitop and the rest of Romanian staff about Mexico, the hardest team in the group. romania defeated them 1-0 in a friendly:) Sweden is a team who can be defeated, Israel is not so experienced and Macedonia is not a force in Sokker, you can't be afraid:) Canada must win at least 2nd place:)

Israel is not so experienced

I really rate Israel as a side on the up. They managed to get a draw with us in a 1st XI match earlier this season. They're more than capable of stealing points away and although I don't think they'll finish 2nd, they could easily help determine it.

I didn't said they are weak, a NT coach can't afford to not concentrate on every match:) But they are a team who can be beat. Canada is better:)

Hi Canadians!

Why is there so few interest in the Canadian National Team? There aren't even speeches from canadian users... Why's that? :o

This guy has been on my watch list for ages. Always thought he might have NT potential. Some defender training, and he might still have a shot. Laufer would know better.

Yup definetly nice prospect, needs technique training or a lot of DEF training if the new owner wants to play him there, I added him to the roster, the new manager can decide what do with him later....

If someone is interested Ruben Caron is on TL.
