i'm not sure that's anyone that's really a good option for the NT. I don't see Garnier or Tasse being any better than the players already on the NT at this point, with the limited player knowledge I have. I think both could be excellent options down the road, but at this point I would be surprised if either really made the NT stronger right now.

I agree that C. Tassé is better suited for the U21 right now, but if the National Team needs someone for even one or two games, I'd be cool with the bump up. I think the main focus right now is on the National Team. C. Tassé is dying to be as good as his big bro L. Tassé.

Unfortunately, our best PG is, for the third week in a row in inept game shape.
I did contact the owner repeatedly, but no answer, my only hope is that he gets kicked out of cup and he doesn't play him anymore... I don't know what else to say.

Just FYI

He hasn't logged in since September 7th, so perhaps he quit the game.

What is the procedure if a team goes bot? Do you have to request for him to be released from his team? Or will he automatically go up for sale?

I doubt it. In general, I don't think he logs in too often. As in, 12 days isn't an abnormal length of time since his last login, and it wasn't any different back when I was NT coach.

Lack of control over Bussières's game shape is part of the deal with him, and something that needs to be planned for.

Hmm, i just got home at half time. I expected us to lose this game easily... I am surprised we are very much into it still.

Let's see...

Not sure if anyone is upset or surprised by the result, but it was pretty clear after last game.

On the good side, I have word from the owner of our PG, he should recover form in time

A tough OT loss to Nigeria.

So now it looks like winning by more than 10 against Chile would be sufficient to advance.* Win by less than 10 and we're almost definitely out.**

Given that we need a high-scoring margin, I suggest thinking outside the box and dusting off the Run and Gun offense.

* There are a few scenarios where we win by just enough and Nigeria beats Australia by something in the neighbourhood of 25 points where both Nigeria and Australia could finish ahead of us on differential. If we win by more than 13, then we would be through regardless of the other game. (All math done in my head, which means it could be completely wrong.)

** Except if Italy destroys Peru. For example, if we were to win by 1 over Chile, Peru would need to lose by 42 for us to finish ahead of them. Not completely implausible.

If my calculations are correct, we made it and Peru is out

Yes, I think so... squeaked through by 2 points.
