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


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.

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

6 Nigeria 1 4 539 595 -56


Last two columns are the victories vs losses that carry forward.
We are in same boat with Australia and Chile.

I don't think i'm wrong assuming even enthusiasm is similar.

Good luck to you on Monday, I anticipate a good game.

Except for Mark. He sucks.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live
