Last 2 games I lost against you this really sux :P but maybe after the end of the season I'' have enough money to buy some better players. Anyway I hope you win all the games from our group with South Africa.
Now I really want to see a good game in the African Cup final and then see the picks for the All Star Game :D

Place your bets the all star game is about to begin :D Seems this year the teams with the most players selected are as expected Cape Town Beez, Luanda Lions, Boss Man and Fooly Cooly but some new created teams seems to squeeze their players into the all star game roster ;) good for them too bad they dont want to comunicate, Honestly i expect half of them to go inactive soon... this is not good.
Anyway after i saw the roster that has been picked i must say i'm surprized Hareaipha Mbatha wasn't picked. The 2 all star teams are very balanced I beleave the Great 8 have the advantage of a good first team and a slightly stronger outside focus were as the Big 8 have better back ups then Great 8 and it seems the inside focus is their advantage. It's going to be such a great game, I'll go with my Great 8 but i think the score diferece wont be bigger then 10 points :P

South Africa - Tounes 109 - 97

To be honest it was a close game. I must say I expected our team to win and they did it :P Good game South Africa. Now I must focus on the next game, so far we are the only team from Africa Competition without a loss and I intend to keep it that way!
I must thank all of you for voting me as national manager and hope I will not dissapoint you. Now that we are 1 step away from entering the World Cup (first time for our country) we must stay focused and hopefully win against Nigeria.
Their manager mr_burns is one of the best managers out there he quilified in the semifinals of B3 competition!
Good game all see you in a week

Nigeria - South Africa 125 - 122

A dissapointing loss, still a close one. The game was going well and we had through the first 3 quarters a minimal advantage from the first quarter, but in the final one they showed their superiority. The one thing that worries me is that they playerd tie all the games and now they would have like over 10 enthusiams (like Brasil did in the last season and made it to the semifinals)meaning they played like a normal game with us still i played ct and still we didnt won.
Still we are in the first position and I hope we remain there.

Why is SA ranked #61 in the world? You're winning many more games than we did in the last world championship qualifying, and the team is ranked about 30 places below where it was. Is there a possible problem with the world rankings?

Just curious.

Tom, you're doing a great job with the team. It's good to see that. Let's see if we can pull off the upset against Nigeria in the 2nd half of the round robin.

hi there amigo! Long time no seen ;) yes the word ranking is really messed up lots of NT managers are confused with it. The only thing i can think of is that the points that were won 2 seasons ago dissapear each week and since that was the begining of buzzerbeater every team had the same value so even if u lost a game back then u still won lets say 4 points out of 10 but now when i play against a African team which is rank 60 lets say i win only 6 points from 10 because of the lower position of African teams... or this is what I can come with anyway... so buttom line is that maybe the GM will change the system because it's really weird.

And about the game with Nigeria I really hope I can pull a win. Their manager is still the player who reached BBB finals and he sure is a deim good one. He TIC ed every team and has probably an enthusiasm over 12 I hope we will manage to get a good entusiasm when I'll have the rematch.

I really think South Africa can gen into the World Cup and I will do my best that to happen ;)

Yes, I'm still hanging around.

Has Nigeria really PIC'd every match? Wow. Mr Burns is one devil of a manager...and Nigeria is a force.

If that's the case, maybe we should concentrate on the Tounes game instead?

hey man how you doing? :)
Nigeria is a good team and Mr Burns is a badass ;)
If you were to ask me I think the game against Tounes must be won by all cost, Tom managed to beat him although they put more into that game still... we have to be cautious because they have a good team all around
How is the South African player you brought doing there? :D
Good to hear from ya!

The South African player I bought...well, I've had difficulty getting him minutes. I'm about to sell one of my longtime (3 season) trainees, so some more playing time will be available to him.

If you guys know of any young SA big men who need training, please let me know. I've got about $1M in the bank that's burning a hole in my pocket.
