Subject: National Team

Mini World Cup is not primary goal. My present knowledge about NT is not sufficient enough to fight in cups or tours, so I'm going to stick to my plan and I will play in MWC just like in normal, friendly matches, experimenting with players and tactics. My motto is simple: focus on the task.

I hope you beat Spain anyway. I wish you win MWC with Nederlands:)

Ireland - India 2:3

Good score against much stronger rival than Honduras. One light injury on striker Charu, who scored winning goal despite this. Team stats 76 looking very promissing.

Next week we playing in MWC starting with Paraguay. It will be our first match at home since many weeks by the way:)

As you know I'm not going to fight in this cup. I should continue testing. But I'll think about it once again, maybe I should try to fight a little and delay testing till we'll be kick out of tournament? Frankly, I don't know at the moment. What is your opinion?

In the game against the smaller teams it is my advice to fight, else India might lose valuable points. Against Spain you can use an alternative testing tactic, who knows it brings you something valuable.

Someone training a lot of pace ? He is for sale already

Yes, he is worth lot of pace training. Excellent defender with very high secondary skills. He has NT potential, no doubt.

Unfortunately I'm training defending this season:( but I'll try to encourage some of my friends. Maybe someone of them can take him under pace training if no one of Indian users can...

look at this player, he's in TL.....

I've seen him and I have him marked. But unfortunately at deadline I'll be in work with no access to internet:(

India - Paraguay 2:1

Close game, lucky ended for us I must say. Red card for rival's defender helped us a little. Obviously there are no easy matches in Sokker since Bolivia beat Spain. Bolivia is our next rival so it won't be easy match for us.

Thanks for beating Paraguay, they are in the same group as Nederland. We wil try to help India by beating Spain next Saturday !
What you are saying about easy matches is true, Nederland also had very much trouble beating Malaysia.

Handicap for teams with lower stats is devastating. It happens to often in my opinion. Therefore I prefer to play against stronger teams, factor is working for us then:)

Bolivia - India 2:1

Close game, rival's ultradefensive tactic was succesfull. Typical random final score - play this match again and final score can be reversed.

Despite score I'm pleased with our team stats - 78,7. It looks very impressive for the future. Better knowledge about players and some fine tactics and we may fight in WCQ next season.

Next week we play last MWC group match against Spain.

Yes its a good performance, the Bolivian chances were mainly caused by "through" balls. In the 2nd half I think India deserved more.

Nederland beat Spain 4-1 so also a small loss will see India progress to the next round.

I hope we'll win with Spain, since Bolivia beat them:) Everything is possible.

But if we don't advance to the next round I'll be not dissapointed. I'm looking forward tests other players in lineup, let's say our replacements for main lineup or on different positions suitable for other tactics. Now I'm still using same theorethicaly best lineup but we must be prepared for other options.

India - España 0:4

Unlucky defeat today. Red card for our defender (0:1 was the score then and every options still opened) practicaly finished match. Well, if we must be unlucky time to time let it be in friendly matches or friendly tournaments...

We are out of MWC, so I can continue preparations for WCQ next season. Next week we play with Pilipinas.

India - Pilipinas 1:0

I've tried more defensive tactic in this match and few other defenders from our team, so match was close despite our advantage in stats. One injury on our mid K. Eswara, unfortunately long one - 28 days.

Next week we play with Indonesia. I'm going to try some next reserve players and other tactic maybe.
