Subject: National Team

I agree. I have personal opinion about this. But this is based on observations only, not on game rules.

I don't believe that final score is progressing during match. I think match result is setted by engine at the match beginning. Next step is to fit match events to the final result choosen before.

If engine choosed score 0 for us, there is no way to score something, so strikers not making shots or they are shooting bad or rival's defenders tackling everything, no matter what skills, form they have. Same with other side - if engine choosed score 3 for us, our strikers will run and score no matter what skills and form they have and what skiils and form rival's defenders have.

I've always said that matches in Sokker are really playing in cloak-room:)

Elections started. I'm giving my candidature of course. I'll try to advance to WC, depsite I know it won't be easy. I hope you will give me chance to fight.

One thing I can promiss now. If I fail in qualifications, I'll not start for next election in India. To be or not to be:)

I am standing in the NT election for India

Wiki has done a decent for your NT - but I am confident I can do a lot better for the India NT

I have posted a speech in the elections

Any questions - please ask away

Hi,

It's very nice to have such confident rival in elections. Good luck!

Thank you, & good luck to you too

Jambo India, Am shabana from kenya and am here to support our former kenya national coach. He has been with us for a couple of seasons. This are the reasons why we he i think he is the best:

1. He trained our players
2. He talks to managers on progress of the national team players
3. He has an exellent relationshp with the U21
4. He has the best tactics ever seen
5. He is always active in the forum
6. He sets goals and works hard to achieve them.

He improved our rank in sokker world and we are grateful to him. India give him a chance and you wont be dissapoint.

WCQ - we are in group H:

1. Türkiye (pos. in rank 7)
2. Rossiya (pos. in rank 31)
3. Moldova (pos. in rank 34)
4. India (pos. in rank 58)
5. Belarus (pos. in rank 68)
6. Prathet Thai (pos. in rank 89)

Türkiye - one of top teams, playing above 80
Rossiya - quite strong team, very unpredictable in my opinion - sometimes they plays poor matches, another time they plays good matches beating stronger teams
Moldova - another strong team playing nearly 80
Belarus - theorethically weaker team than we are, but they cannot be disregarded
Prathet Thai - weakest team in our group, but they showing their moments time to time bravely fighting with stronger teams

As you see group is very challenging. Türkiye seems to be out of range, Rossiya and Moldova - it will be hard to beat them, no doubt. Belarus and Prathet Thai should be defeated by us.

But all those predictions are only in theory. Everything is possible here in Sokker, so the only way is to fight in all matches. Every final scenarios I can imagine for us at the moment.

Good luck !
Looking forward to the battles with Russia and Moldova. I think we both beat them in history, so hopes up !

Had to look way back, but we did beat them both.
In 2007 we won and drew Moldova in WC qualification, when India was still with average marks of 40 ;)
Against:
Moldova 2 wins 3 draws 3 losses.
Russia 1 win and 2 losses.

2007, deep history.....:)

Engine changed many times since 2007, manager's experience changed. We'll see what we can do this season.
Anyway, we are not favorites in matches against Russia and Moldova, that's for sure. So we got nothing to lose, we must try to fight.

Meantime we play last friendly match before WCQ with England. I'm going to field bench and reserve players to avoid unnescessary cards and injuries on first lineup players. I'm going to do the same in friendlies played between WCQ matches.

Thanks for giving me a chance with NT. I'll do my best.

Wow!! we beat Moldova....keep up the good work Wiki

Yes, we did it:)

India - Moldova 3:2

Rival was better on every areas, but tactic helped us (and some luck to be honest, expecially in first half). Qualifications should end now and we are in WC:p

But it was just first match, way is still long and difficult. 3 points with strong rival are valuable anyway, so I'm pleased.

Prathet Thai - India 0:6

Match with no history, no injuries. We are 1st in group after two rounds with 6 points, same as Türkiye, but we have better goal difference. I wish it will stay this way to the end of qualifications:)

Next week we play friendly with Island. Bench and reserve players will play. After that two serious matches are coming: against Russia and Türkiye - strongest teams in our group.

Yes a nice start....hopefully we can finish also the same way

Our best striker is transferlisted:

Avinash Charu

I'm sad, he'll lose his tactical discipline and team-work after transfer. Bad news during qualifications....
