And that's that. We won the games we should have won, and lost those we should have lost.
Unfortunately, the gap between those two groups remained a little too large for us *this* season, and we'll finish just outside of the four.

Some good players sticking around for next season. We could have a pretty good team. Work those pops, guys!

Yessir.

But honestly, this was not our season. Our draw was always a little beyond us - even the most likely to win of the losses (Indonesia) where ranked nearly 40 places above us. I'm hopeful that the next season should be a little better...

Scrimmages from now on will mainly be 20yo guys, or younger. 21s... you're on the way out. Thanks for your service - g'luck with making the NT!

Two nights ago we played Sweden, and only ran our 20s - good win. Our bigs really controlled the boards, and we finished with a massive rebounding advantage. We have a good mix, and I'm expecting a better season next time around.

Soon, I'll be booting the 21s... so if you're thinking of selling one - now's the time to do it (whilst he still has the badge!). In a week or so, they're outties.
If anyone has a 18-20yo that they think should be on the roster, lemme know!

Nice... tho' allstar's about the limit I'll accept, and even then - only if there are spots available.

BUT... in all likelihood, I'll add him in the not too distant future.

Well... in a game where we played our 20s and Portugal didn't (after telling me they'd "play some 20s"), I thought we did ok.

I think we have a nice base with which to play in the coming season.

'K. That was the last game the 21s will play in the U21. Going to start moving them out.

Alrighty, it's not that I care particularly about the rating - but I'd be interested to know what am I doing wrong that 2 outta 9 disapprove of what I'm doing?
If I'm not doing a good job, tell me what I can do to improve...
