2 shots from Georgia's side and 2 goals... Terrible mistake made by our goalkeeper on the first one.

I had the same experience with Bahande and I prefered to play with Halum. Halum is also more talented - perhaps the most talented player of the last generations.

Ali has played a lot lately, I wanted to give Bahande an opportunity to show his skills.
To be honest, it looks really bad when it comes to the defenders for upcoming seasons - there are very few talented and skilled ones...

What a tragic game from our goalkeeper today. All of the headers won by Brazil in our penalty box. The defenders were set pretty fine for me but they lost most of the duels and lack of the main defending skill was shown.
I though about using the tactics with one midfielder was placed back, near the side line but I couldn't decide which side to choose. Their winger totally destroyed us...

About the headers, I think that height might be a factor, our center backs are only 174 and 168 cm while Nabua is 167 cm and Layugan is 190 cm (I think he should be in the center). One of their forwards is 183 cm so that might be a factor.

On the bright side, we scored 3 goals, which means we just have to focus on our defense for now :)

What a fine game! I expected a really hard, equal match but it appeared to be one-sided spectacle. A solid appearance of the whole team. There should be more goals for sure (e.g. wasted penalty), although a win is a win, so I'm glad it turned out that way in the end :)

Nice win!

Not a bad game. Lots of shots from Malaysia's strikers but most of them were made from a distance. We, on the other hand, had a large number of one on one situations. I would say that the win was fully deserved.

These positive result against Malaysia helped us move from 73rd to 70th position in the ranking. The gap between our NT and the ones ahead seems to decrease :)

Awesome win!

The last month was not a happy month for us...
I've worked on updating the database and the tactics lately, so I hope the next games will reveal progress.
This Saturday we take Thailand on - it will be an opportunity for the 2nd squad players to show what they got and gain some exra training.

Let me know f you need some help on the NTDB.
I have already a list with the players who need to be updated (because they have high value, but low skills on the NTDB)

Thanks!
I had my own DB on my PC but I started to update the players in the sokker DB for the future coaches.

Good game against Vietnam. After the 1st half I hoped for a win, yet one mistake made it impossible to remain victorious. We still are placed 3rd in our group and I think nothing is going to change, even after the next week game against Iran.
I would also like to declare that I am not going to rerun for the job next season. If there's someone interested in taking part in the elections, he/she should start preparing him/herself :)

Why not?

I just won't be able to conduct both my club and the NT due to the lack of time. I have a lot of stuff going on right now and it doesn't seem to change in the nearest future. I'm not sure if I will be able to find the middle ground between all these things, so I don't want to risk neglecting the NT. I'm certain that there are more suitable users for the job who will work with you guys and the squad the way I would like to.
Of course, I'm not leaving and I will be as active as I can :)
