Subject: »Foreign NT candidates

Well prove it then. I can also claim that I know everything about anything, but won't just tell you. I really can't see what you have to lose here.

And after all... even if you know the exact skills of Polish players, that won't change the situation. If you really claim that by knowing the skills of Polish NT players would give you a chance to beat Poland in the WC, it just shows a great lack of sense of proportion.

If you know skills of your opponent, you can make suitable tactic (for example you know that some of polish players are without DEF, so you will choose players with techinque who won't lose the ball).

And about knowing skills NT players ... it's hard to show ... hmmm ... Maybe you have any idea? :)

That would require that you could be able to know the tactics of the opposing team. So that's a very bad false assumption.

What's there so hard to show? Just tell us an example.

...and same in English. We Finns really don't know Polish that much. :/

right ... my mistake ...

Actually no need to do that. I know the Polish skills and do know what they mean - the rest of the Finland most likely does not. However they don't have to so no need to reveal all Shadow's players in the conference.

Ok, I believe that you for some reason know the stats of the players of user Shadow, but then the 10 point question: what's the use?

As I pointed out earlier, knowing a skill of a player does not help you if don't know how the opposing team is playing. Also I don't see point in spuriously assuming that by knowing a skill of Polish defender would automatically quarantee you a win.

You're wrong ;) Some players are playing in the same positions. Januszewski, Jastrzab (NT wingers) will playe only there, because they haven't skill to play as off mid or def mid ... Also Ruta is player who will play as off mid, because in other positions he will lose his trumps. You can forecast in which positions will they play.

We all do the best we can
teemme kaikki parhaamme

No, I'm right. :) If a player always plays on the same spot, you know his abilities by scouting team's games. In that case you don't have any other possibility than place the most suitable player against him - naturally.

However it is still possible for a team like Poland which has broad material to use different players in different matches and on different places. Also the wingers supposedly can play either on left or right.

Of course it is possible to forecast where the players play, but that always includes a risk in choosing wrong. There are two common ways of creating a tactic: either you choose the best players of your team not regarding of the opponent players (remember that Poland is the only team that has a very broad material of players so smaller teams do not have so much possibility to choose).

The second possibility is to play according your opponent. This always weakens your team as a whole as you can't field your best players as you try to predict you opponent's tactic and thus you have to use players which are superior in one certain area.

So it's not a win-win situation, but a game of better and worse choices. Trusting that the opponent will field a certain line-up and fielding your players according to that knowledge may lead to a disaster if your prediction fails. By fielding your best XI on the other hand would most likely have given a better result.

Well, that's for me about that subject. We disagree of the real benefits of knowing the (Polish) players skills precisely.

However another question (although none of you have answered to my previous question yet): analyse the WC group of Finland.

Ok. That's right what you wrote. If you have small crew (that's mean NT players ;) )you haven't many possibilities to choose first eleven. So that's indifferent to choose best candidate. You must choose the best tactic who made the best tactic ...

I see then suomi and poland is one group :) time by suomi winner for poland :)

hmmm thanks for votes ;) 0 that's fantastic :)

Goodluck with NT :)

Thanks for you votes :) I'm get 2 :)
