Subject: »[NT]National Team of Pilipinas

So close to winning this game against Thailand. It was not a bad game, such a pity Pamintuan didn't score just one more time.

I am very dissapointed mate!! Pamintuan form (outstanding) wasnt too bad for me to use him as he is the best Attacker we have but he lost a penalty and many chances to finish the game and even after their red card we concede 2 goals in row and that was the reason why we didnt win today!! Even though i am happy with the good performance by all the team and i hope that we will slowly start getting wins and good results in other friendlies!!

Hello everyone

At first i would like to say sorry to everyone for the bad results we had recently this season
and because i am so inactive at the forum.Secondly i would like to congratulate again Tsolias
for the very good results he had this season at WCQ and my hopes to qualify.

So if we have a look at the start of the season eventhough before the elections i promised to everyone
in Pilipinas Community that i will try to bring our team close to 64th place and 4th pot we are
currently being in 79th place almost 200 points and 15 places below the ranking i received.
Thats why i want to say sorry again for this situation and i will try to do penance before the
end of the season.

Before the elections i also told that i will use more younger players and i am happy that i use
Abel Cabungcal(age 22 -5times),Ricardo Mabalot(age 22 -3 times),Nelbert Macalincag (age 23-8 times),
Nathan Mauban (age 24 - 2 times),Dean Musni( age 24 - 11 times) and Earl Sugcang(age 24- 4 times)
plus many 25-28 players and avoid to play +30 players except Aguilar and Pamintuan (best
players of the team).

I would like to inform you that i sent sk mail to every Pilipinas users to start a youth school
and be more active but no one answered me and i also advertise Sokker to 10 Pilipinas websites
(football discussion,football manager lovers,and other managerial games forums plus Hattrick)
and i am not sure if i get even one new user for Pilipinas.

I want to say sorry again for being inactive at forum and this is because i have exams right now
and its very diffucult to prepare the first eleven every Saturday plus tactic and write at forum
but i can promise that i wont stop doing the job i elected to do.

Any questions or anything?? I would be happy to dicuss anything with you.

I also want to announce that i want again to be Pilipinas NT coach for the next season if you
still want me to continue.

Kind Regards to everyone.

Again sorry i will try my best.

Forza Pilippina!!

Well although it's disappointing, real life will always be the priority. Don't worry, I've also noted the good things you did, especially in using younger players. As for the next season... right now, you're probably the best candidate since you have more experience with the NT this season (which is really important going into a WCQ tournament) but then it will also depend on the other candidates.

Thanks mate !!

I want to ask you again if you have any other idea to bring new users for Pilipinas.Any neighbours or friends who like football or want to help??Or Pilipinas website for football or something you know??

To be honest, football is not really the favorite sport here... I'm sorry I don't know any website that would be good to promote this game other than facebook.

Could you please try again for the last time??

Here is a list of the Top-500 Sites in Philippines (alexa-ranking):

Perhaps this list may help.

Dewey Agbulos will get his first senior Cap this Saturday as a sub:)

So here we are!!
After the draw this our group for World Cup Qualifiers.

Group B



With a little scouting i share with you my thoughts and reports for our opponents.

1)France - Ranking 3076.72 (3)

The toughest team in group,and propably after our last week friendly(0-9) one of the most impossible games to win.
In history has 3 World Cup bronze medals and for me is one of the strongest teams in Sokker right now.
The 2 Matches with France will be more like an easy hunting for them but we will do our best!!The only positive is that Barros which
was their coach for the last 5 seasons he is not going to elected this time because he didnt actually wanted so their coach
will be less experienced to his team.

Star Player : Many French players could take this title but i believe ,29 years old,Striker Gary Mounier is the big star
with an average rating more than 90!!

Team Average Rating (Last 5 matches) :!! 79.68 !!

2)England - Ranking 2300.55(28)

England , eventhough is currently at 28th place if you take a look at their history they have won one World Cup,1 silver medal and 5
bronze medals so England is one of the most successfull team of Sokker History.On the other hand their not currently at their best
form as they failed to reach WC group 10 months ago finishing on 4th place and failed to reach WC Finals last time finishing on
3rd place at WC groups.England has the weakest area on defence as they concede 21 goals in 5 last matches
and the only way to get a positive result against them is to focus there!

Star Player : I believe that ,29 years old ,Midfielder Brian Patel is the big star of England with an average rating around 85.

Team Average Rating (Last 5 matches) :!! 73.98 !!

3)Australia - Ranking 1831.57 (48)

Australia is one of the oldest teams of Sokker and never have qualified to WC except at 2006
where they qualified twice after finishing at 3rd and 4th place(Old Rules).
They have a very good strong attacking team but we know from their previous tries that as a team they are very unstable at their
performances.
So if i could predict i would say that Australia can finish between 2nd and 4th place.

Star Player : With a quick look ,30 years old ,Winger Rob Upton is Australia Star player and we should take care of him not to cross
many assists.He has an average rating around 85.

Team Average Rating (Last 5 matches) :!! 73.44!!

4)New Zealand - Ranking 1518.21 (57)

New Zealand is the main opponent for our team so we could finish above our draw position(5th)..In their history they
qualified twice to WC Finals and 7 times to WC Groups.As their biggest brother(Australia)
they are also unstable to their performances.10 months ago they qualified but at the next WCQ they finished at 5th place so we are
sure if they could fight for qualification or they will just fail again.

Star Player : Their star player for me is ,33 years old ,Midfielder Ruben Mitchell.
.He has an average rating around 80.

Team Average Rating (Last 5 matches) :!! 70.42 !!

6)Daehan Minguk - Ranking -34.54 (90)

The weakest team of the group seeded in 6th spot of draw will be the first opponent Pilipinas has to overtake in the way to
qualification.Probably one of the weakest team of the tournament and we should win them to do the first step.
Daehan Minguk(South Korea) finished in last place of World Cup group last 11 tournaments which participated
and never has finished higher than 6th place.We are a level above them and we should prove it in the pitch.

Star Player : With a quick look ,29 years old ,Def-Mid Dinn Cheng-Kwois is Daehan MingukStar player
with an average rating around 75.

Team Average Rating (Last 5 matches) :!! 58.92 !!


My prediction for our team is that we can finish above New Zealand and fight for 3rd place.France is almost untouchable and
England so.But we will fight every game until the last second to get the best result.

Kind Regards

Lorenzos

Comments:
Eventhough we had to overcame 5 injuries(Pamintuan,Espina,Conlu,Agbulos,Torres) and as our ATT and GK stars could not play we achieve to win our first game in this WCQ against a strong but weakest opponent who achieved to score the first goal but at the end after Lumahan substitution(1 assist,1 goal) we could celebrate our first 3 points.
Now we should not relax as we face the toughest team in our group which is England and we have to give our best !!
Forza Azkals!!

Comments:
Such a big defeat should be a nightmare for every coach in this world but for me is something that i wait for and eventhough we tried for the miracle something went wrong and we didn't have any other chance except the goal and we couldn't score the equalising so at the end we concede 2 more after 80 minutes.
Anyway we must forget this match and get over with the loss because next round(after the friendly with USA) we have to play against fearful France.They have lost last 2 matches against England and Australia with 4-2 both,and they will propably want to outlet their anger on our team.We must stop them.
The best thing for this week is that after a long time Pamintuan and Espina are back!!

Forza Azkals.

Comments:
This week i am very dissapointed by the result and eventhough France should propably be one of the best teams in Sokker we face them as equal opponents with 2 attackers(7 shots) and we were 3 times very unlucky(Tukodlangit header on 2-1 score almost crossed the scoreline, France 3rd goal did not cross the line and another one Pamintuan injury).So we kept 49% possession against this opponent but the most problem for me was that we conceded 2 goals in last 10 minutes for the 3rd game this season(France,England,Indonesia) and this is because our bench has limited quality.Anyway next game is against Australia and the Kangaroos are in very good shape(9 points in 3 games) but we will fight again for another one match.
