here we in the 2nd round of the Consolation Tournament.

this tournament involves those teams who hadn't be able to make it toward the world cup... unfortunatly we had germany and Portugal in last season qualifiers, so we hadn't been able to qualify. and here we are in the consolation!

the first round saw us win one, against New Zeland, and lose the other, against our old opponent Eesti ( we face them and lost also past season).

now we are in a sort of pool against: 


29/06/2009 13.00  	Cyprus U21  	 Prathet Thai U21  	 
06/07/2009 17.00 	S. Africa U21 	Cyprus U21 	
13/07/2009 17.00 	Türkiye U21 	Cyprus U21 	
20/07/2009 15.00 	Cyprus U21 	Hayastan U21 	
27/07/2009 17.00 	Norge U21 	Cyprus U21 	
04/08/2009 01.00 	Cyprus U21 	Puerto Rico U21



our first opponent will be Prathet Thai. I already have a plan for this match, I hope gameshapes wil be with us.

I'd really appreciate if you would like to discuss those matches, starting now, to prepare a plan that let us win at least 4 of those 6 matches!

29/06/2009 13.00  	Cyprus U21  	Prathet Thai U21 - 116-84
06/07/2009 17.00 	S. Africa U21 	Cyprus U21 	
13/07/2009 17.00 	Türkiye U21 	Cyprus U21 	
20/07/2009 15.00 	Cyprus U21 	Hayastan U21 	
27/07/2009 17.00 	Norge U21 	Cyprus U21 	
04/08/2009 01.00 	Cyprus U21 	Puerto Rico U21



first victory for us now we got a 2-1 record, let's see what place it is worth!

Prathet thai hasn't a wise coach... he is hated by the community (three days ago he was 0%) and they are right he enver changes tactics, always plays the same way, so despite of our conditions we played a strong look inside that was worth a long garbage time, cause we closed the match before the halftime break.

Mvp: Kostis, he played very weel his first match as starter!

next match: south africa!

Easy and predictable game, but we even made a good match! I'm happy when young cypriots grow up :-)

Congrats man!!! Finally Kraidis is back and you could play as you prefere!

We have 3 players of incredible level: Atmatzidis, Kaliasis and Pikoulas.
We have 2 other interesting players like Zampetas and Kraidis, but other... younger players are growing up so well...

I'm quite proud of my work, but expecially of the work of Thecippis (he's a good coach!) and of all trainers all around the world that allow Cyprus to be a new interesting nation in Europe!

3 W against 1 L, good work

as we recovered him, we risked 2 injuries, both Gagalatos and Kaliasis got injured today but luckly those were on-game injuries.

now we got the team! we got the enthusiasm! and we got an upcoming oppenent that gives a hotter atmosphere to the match!

Türkiye u21 is coming up guys let's put all we can in the match!

You shoud try to give top gameshape to your guys! My work we'll look forward to choose the best strategies we can! let's see what happens!

Wow, Türkiye really fielded a hell of a team. Their ratings were extraordinary and we had no chance whatsoever! ~ 145 BB-Stats is simply not within our range.

Not checking any details, their 4 "best" players earn more than our entire team, right?

We even won one quarter, that is not bad. And we dominated the PF position with 37 vs. 22 points.

We clearly need weaker opponents, otherwise our talented young rookies will need some antidepressents...
