Happy to take any questions.

If you had a daughter--of suitable age of course--which of the players on last year's U21 team would you most/least mind her bringing home? French players/spies excluded from the discussion of course.

More seriously, what is one thing you think will prevent us having a start in future seasons like we did this worlds season, where our players may have been well-trained but none of them had skill sets that fit together, and we started 0-3 even losing to teams like Taiwan (#15 overall)? Specifically how can we ensure that we have the types of players we need, or was this season just an anomaly that we don't need to correct anything to avoid in the future?

Also there is some talk about GODBEAR, what do you think of him?

Mick Sterling. I trained him as an 18/19 year old so I know that he would respect my daughter.

Our first round group was super tough. If France didn't punt their last game, the semifinals would have been all four teams from our group that made the second round. Taiwan should have also made the semis instead of us if they didn't lose their last game. Taiwan had a really good inside team this year. They had a couple of million+ DMI bigs and they had HCA. HCA is a huge deal in international play and I think its an unfair advantage. If it were up to me, all games would be on neutral ground.

Alot of the problems we had the last two season were because their was no offsite scouting when these players were 18 year olds when I was not the manager and the players especially bigs that were not being trained by offsite owners didn't really receive the guidance needed at that critical age. That will not happen on my watch. The other problem is that we didnt really have anyone training bigs. Fewmit did a great job stepping up and getting Myers and Edmondson in shape with only two seasons of training but if we want elite bigs they need 4 seasons of training. This is why I bought 3 bigs in the beginning of my term. We also have a couple other offsite owners training bigs for S33 as well so we should be in good shape. Magiker and Fewmit also committed to training bigs for S35. If we had elite bigs in the beginning of the season, I think we would have a gold medal right now.

And I've had him the past couple seasons. That prick respects no one...

Is this where I tell people to vote for Phyr?

What would be the benefit of having such players?

I wont go into reasons why I would consider myself better than any other previous manager (Their history and results speak for themselves), all I will say is that based off the off site I would consider my ideal big men to differ a bit from most

You are coming off as very knowledgeable but very cocky. Phyr is doing a great job and we have 3 straight worlds finals appearance so what history are you talking about? We already have a pretty good training system besides no one wanting to train bigs. I don't a reason to change because we have 2 world gold medals and one sliver. This season we didn't have the true PG and our bigs didn't have as many big skills as they normal do. But despite the adversity we face this season we ended up with a sliver medal.

We play way different talent than NZ with the exception of when play in the Americas tournament. America is too big to control everyone's training like you can in micro nations. I'm not going to consider voting for you because you haven't put any input in game planning or train any american U21. Managing a micro nation is pretty different than managing a big country.
