Crna Gora - Österreich 4:2
Sverige - England 0:0

Perfect results for us. With a win tonight you can climb to 2nd position and stay there till the end of the season! I am wishing you it will happen this way :)

Just as I expected - it wasn't such an easy game as it may have seemed to be. Nikaragua's striker can surely be considered as their superstar Thankfully, everything ended well and with 4 points we are placed 2nd in our group.
Next week we are facing Belarus in a friendly game. It will be a great oportunity to test the other players and find the perfect positions for them on the pitch. A final exam before a really tough time in the WC-Qualifiers.

I enjoyed this game. Wonderfull and effective positioning of our attackers!

Good win :) Congratulations!

Thank you both!
We must keep up the good work - that also includes your opinions about the games, tactics and players, such as your clues and poining my mistakes :)

Well... Not bad! ;)
What an invidual mark of Pamintuan - 87%!

Hey,
you played with Magpantay, Pinagbuklod and Manuyong! I know these guys :)
Especially Manuyong was one of my favorite players :)

They look good, with a proper training they can surely be considered as future first squad players. The NT suffers from deficiency of young defenders. There are maybe 2-3 that have a bright future ahead. I recently bought one of them - Rafi Booc. He seems to be perfect for pace training and still not so old since he's only 24 years old :)

solid stamina tragic keeper
brilliant pace divine defender
solid technique very good playmaker
excellent passing adequate striker

Shame I couldn't use him today due to very low form.

Good win! It's nice to see younger players play for the NT :)

I remember Rafi Booc... he came from my youth school and I did not expect him to be like that at all
He graduated Sept 12, 2013 with talent 7.5 and these skills:
weak [4] stamina tragic [0] keeper
weak [4] pace tragic [0] defender
average [5] technique average [5] playmaker
good [7] passing poor [3] striker

I have no idea how he became like that XD

Wow, he seemed to be a midfielder material. Suprising how great he has become!
I also had some info regarding his talent from the previous manager he played for. He claimed that Rafi's really talented and during the time he spent in the club, he deleveloped a lot. Considering the fact that he hadn't played for 5 or 6 weeks just before I bought him, makes it even more awkward :)

He trained at young age at KS REKKOS - one of the best sokker teams for young players :)

This was his development at KS REKKOS:

On 2014-07-17, when he started, he looked like this:
sta 4 / 12 - 7 - 9 / gk 0/ def 9 - 7 - 5

After 5 months of (only) defence-training, on 2015-01-29, when he became 22 years old he looked like this:
sta 6 / 13 - 8 - 10 / gk 0/ def 14 - 8 - 6
-----------
KS REKKOS made more than 3 million € (about 20 million P.) by train a young talented player only on his basic skill.

Acelio_1216, I think we have to discuss some things about training. The clubs can make more money by giving the maximum training on a basic skill on talented players
and the U21 coach will also be very happy of this ;)

The manager of REKKOS confessed that he has neglected the training a little bit lately. He simply didn't have the time to run his team properly. Thankfully, he also didn't make so much damage. Although, as you can see Rafi could have been a lot better than he is now - he has made just 3 pops in defender and 1 pop in pace since January. He could be 2x divine by now, if he played regularly and gained maximum training.

Absolutely paralyzed. Totally deserved slaughter. I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now. It's like a kick in a stomach.
Next week we play against England. I expect it not to be a walk either.

So, do I Vampyr. I feel the same paralyzation and I appreciate that you share your feeling.

But: enjoy the feeling! I mean it!!

Perhaps, if you analyse what you could do different, then you will never feel the same again.
In my point of view, those kind of games can be used as fuel, to observe and rethink about tactics, skills, positioning etc. This may be the last time & I prefer loosing once in such a way and making all things more effective in the future, than loosing more times by 0-1.

PS: This is a real slaughterhouse:

Well, I'm really unhappy with the score today. Pamintuan wastes too many scoring opportunities. With a little bit more efficiency we could have tied or even won the game. One thing makes me really happy - well chosen tactics. We definitely were better with the ball. What are your feelings after the match against England?
As a reminder - our today's opponent is the actual World Champion!

Better result than last time :) It's really a challenge to even get a draw (what more to win against that team). I'm happy with the score. I don't know if there was something that we can do in playing against wingers and those crosses :)
