Good luck to both the national team and the U21 team - both against Bosnia tomorrow.

Let's hope for the double win!

2 minutes played and it looks like Bosnia outsmarted us on tactics. I am playing low post and 2-3, from his players it looks like the Bosnia coach picked an outside offense, in which case we dont stand a chance... Lets see how it ends...

3 from 9 shots for us after 4 min and 7 from 8 shots for bosnia... looks like an already lost game...

end of quarter 1 24-23 for Bosnia. They have quite a few fouls already, lets hope they can pile up some more in the 2nd quarter...

Half time. a miracle win for england is still possible. 57 - 56 is the half time score in favour off England. The lost man that couldnt play for the U21 most part off the season because his club needed him very much and he was to tired to play for the U21 is so far stealing the show. 9 rebounds and 10 points at half time for Neal Kirkpatrick. Lets hope he and Alec Ring can bring the game home...

half way through the 3th quarter and it looks like we have given up the game. 5-12 run for bosnia. 6 minutes played and we have only scored 2 field goals. Hope they are all gearing up together and try to get back into the game or else all is over... (wished they would stop shooting 3 pointers, 0-7 shots). It really is very upsetting to see the England U21 suddenly miss almost every single shot. No time out nothing either. 3 more offensive rebounds result in 3 more misses. hahahaha our best 2 players are substituted from the court and guess what, full time out England U21...

End off quarter 3 and it is 78 - 74 for Bosnia. I would like to be positive, but I have a bad feeling that we wont turn around the game. Which means that I will fail to win atleast 3 games a promised and this would please some kids surely immensly. The only hope I have is that their top scorer has 4 PF. lets hope he fouls out early or gets into foul trouble early...

really, we arent allowed to win I think. 2 shooting fouls from Bosnia and we manage to score 1 FT... Still 4 points behind with 8 min left to go. More misses from us and another scored 3 pointer from Bosnia. 6 points behind and 6 minutes left to play. And another missed 3 pointer from us. Offensive rebound and still a miss. Bosnia scores the 3 pointer and I think it is game over. 5 min left to play and we are 9 points behind. LOL and another 3 pointer scored by Bosnia.... What can I say.

3 minutes left to play. 10 points behind and all our good players are taken off the court. Again totally makes no sense to me. Off course that means game over...

The NT is doing well.

24-13 in Q1 in our favour.
23-25 in Q2

Some colour... Our game shape was rather bad this wk. Some of our best players are out, most notably Barnett Singleton and Paul Davies are not playing.

We have Mark Alexander on SF duty for the first time in a while. Kumar is remarkable, he keeps getting caps whilst being the worst (on paper) PG we have. It's just that his skill combination is way more useful than other high salary players.

We are doing well in Q3, so fingers crossed :)

We won! 85-104 :) (7886) Not bad.... Next wk, Senegal... We can relax!

Congrats to Elboss and the senior team! Great win, looks like our team's going to end with a great record!

Unlucky to Astro and the U21 team, it was always going to be a tough game.
