Great result, elboss, not only winning heavily but at a lower enthusiasm than Macedonia as well. 32 assists and an impressive offensive flow. Hope the team can keep that up for the next game!

Good victory indeed. To be fair, we were the favorite here... Then again Makedonija played better than expected.

Remarkable first match for P. Davies (Swindon Bulls) and J. Costabile. Overall I'm satisfied with the ratings!

Now let's see how we play against Ceska Rep.

Guys if you are watching the match next time, let's log into the chat :)

Today we face Ceska Rep, it's a medium sized BB country with about 400 active teams.

However, if you look at their roster you'll see this is no picnic :(
We see a monster like Vladan Slezácek (4810058) and a PG Flavio Portavales (4809836) to match our stars.

Thankfully their overall game shape is not all that hot and that should play in our favour. I take this chance to congratulate the NT guys clubs for keeping them in great shape - broadly speaking :)

As I mentioned before our rival got 4th place in Pool C in the qualifiers. They have a pretty good match record losing only 3 of the last 13. Recently they lost against Magyarország (7614)

We look forward to complete Magyarország's job and shutter that record!

Sadly we lost... (7649)

All in all, looking at the ratings we it's a fair result, unfortunately :( They performed surprisingly well... I'll do a full post-mortem later on this wk.

I'm surprised they managed to win like this though...

Bad luck Elboss, just a bad day at the office looking at the game, it was very close.

That is just his personal opinion. It was close game we just got lucky with some crucial free throws. Better luck next time.

Definitely well played. You took a risk, but it payed out. I'll be fair, it's the 1st time that I see someone winning using Princeton :)

Perhaps I'll have a chance to face you guys again later in the tournament!

Our next game is against Saudi Arabia, a tiny BB country with only 28 active teams.

Despite that they manage to get prominent inside scoring. This is mostly thanks to their star Centers Hassan Al-Ismail (5150344) and Farook El-Akil (4867416)

Their roster is definitely better than you would imagine.

These are their latest matches:

(7673)
(7619)
(6901)
(6899)

Obviously we are the favourites by far! But I won't play this down. We'll have a pretty decent lineup. I might experiment a bit though...
