3 way battle to make the world cup tonight.

We need MExico to beat Turkey (They CTed last game and have lost their best player to injury) and then we win by enough to cover them and MExico on PD. Either way we start a new comp next week and have a long season to go.

We had a big win of Ghana but it seems Turkey put more into the other game then Mexico and got a 16 point win which means we are not going to the World Cup this time. I don't understand why Turkey would put more effort into game. They now head into World Cup with low team enthusiasm and for me will only be making up numbers now. Also I'm not sure but I think Mexico will lose the team Enthusiasm they saved.
We are off the consolation tournament instead.
We start the new tourny with a 0 and 2 record. Last time it was a 5 and record to make the knockout stage. If we can finish higher then any other Asian side we can host the Asian Championships again next season. I would like to think we can go a long way in this. The top sides are all into the World Cup. We are currently ranked 18 so will not be many teams with a higher ranking then ours.
Thanks to all the managers with players in the team and please keep training and make sure your player is in good gameshape.

I can understand what Turkey has done, while they will get pumped there is a lot of status being in the World Championships. What I do not understand is what Mexico has done unless they played normal and Turkey threw out another CT.

It is tough going 2-1 and then starting off the next stage with a 0-2 record but as you said if we get a good draw we can get the needed 5-0. What we really need is an easy game or two at the start to build our enthusiasm.

I can understand what both teams did. In Turkey's case, they went TIE, CT then normal, so their enthusiasm would be around 4 probably, that's not too bad.

I don't think enthusiasm resets at all for repacharge teams entering the consolation tourney. It was pretty obvious to me when Mexico TIEd us that their plan was to build enthusiasm for the consolation tourney. Given that their chances of beating both us and Turkey were slim, that was a pretty smart move.

(Ghana going normal was the one I couldn't understand actually - there was nothing in that for them...)

A lose to Singapore tonight. 10 points. But them going CT and with HCA it is not a surprise we did not win. They have ruined their enthus and if we are lucky we might meet them in the knockout stage.

2 games to go and both should be safe wins and see our team making the final 32.

Would of liked to win tonight but banking enthus for next stage seemed more important.

A strange crunch really, given that they have two easy games to finish so didn't really need to beat us. Couldn't have predicted that.

No I am shocked. I think we would of won if they went normal. But looking at their games I think they go normal most the time. Might be why last season they had they best side in asia but failed to even come close to finals.

Means we will sit a bit lower in the rankings but still prefer the enthus in the bank.

Unless this results in us drawing a powerhouse team, coughpolandcough, in the 1st round of the knockout phase, this loss means nothing. 5-3 with good PD is enough to see us through and from there we'll only have to outlast a few other teams. And even if we fall short, I doubt that the other Asian teams in the final 32 (Indonesia is 1-4 so they won't be making it) will be able to fully capitalise on the HCA advantage anyway.
