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...

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...

A relatively easy win against Saudi Arabia (7703)

Kumar (4136987) had one of his best games ever, he might not be the strongest player in terms of salary, but his combination of skills is remarkable and unique in England that's why he keeps showing up in the NT and as you guys can see with good results!

Out next game is against Mexico, it's gonna be a very difficult match, just so you know, one of the most expensive players in BB (the most expensive?) plays for Mexico: Elías Cárdenas (5164963), he gets a whopping $ 487 754 per week. See what a bloody monster they are gonna set against us?

Some intelligence on Mexico, this player is currently on the market (2744533)

[México]
Shooting Guard
Oliver Hite (2744533)

Weekly salary: $ 47 777

DMI: 216100
Age: 25
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: allstar *
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: prolific
Outside Def.: sensational Handling: prolific
Driving: prominent Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: strong

Their 500K center is in inept game shape

7 out of 16 players have game shape over respectable. The rest is below. Unfortunately that accounts for most of their starting lineup and reserves (given the roster of the last match) with only the centers being out of shape...
