Best Player: António Silves (4726855)

COACH:

NickName: AfonsoP (94526)
Nationality: Portugal
Career: He's been promoted from division IV to division II; elected with 64.1% on his country and now he's appreciated by 80% of Portugal users
National Way to play:
OFFENSE
Portugal can easily play as coach AfonsoP want, but it's very important the battery of big men he has at his disposal
DEFENSE
Usually he plays man to man, but in a big mistake match he plays 2-3 against Espana that "answer" with a run and gun (he tried the same with Italy with better result, even if loosing the match)

LAST MATCH: (6207)
We play a tough match, loosing by 21, but surely improving our consistency against the lusitanos. Kaikas and Pitsikokos with a huge double double and Florakis scores quite easily (8/15 from the field).

PREDICTION:
I think it will be a great match... we play in a portuguese arena, so they'll have homecourt advantage, let's hope to have a good performance. I think we can't win this match... I hope so, but I think it's veeeeeeeeeeeery hard, so... Portugal +15, something similar to the last match.

Really nice and in dept analysis. Ive got surprised that u have the skills from some of there best players. That shows how hard u r working to prepared for the games. I guess going inside, will be hard, so i am expecting an outside tactic right?

Well... our game shape said that we could play inside, so we will try to do our best there

so perfect analysis!!! how good must you be to do this :P!!! good luck and i am sure you will win :)!!! (I hope :P)

We can't expect to win against Portugal and this match (7654) confirm my opinion!!!

With a National Team that pop-up on friday training session only with 3 players (Lavdas, Gagalatos and Pitsikokos) we try to surprise Portugal with a pre-tactical wrong answer to JohnnyB...

...our game shape said that we could play inside, so we will try to do our best there...

...but coach AfonsoP is expert and he knows his team and he knows he could easily play man to man and not 2-3 zone defense. 2 gifts? Yes, I hoped so :-)
Portugal looks inside and we haven't "big men" to oppose them in the paint. Kaikas is still good, but he's 15 weeks he doesn't pop and I regret about that, but it's not my fault if any other would overcome him! I hope that some young guy on U21 will have this intention... Kraidis? Kaliasis? Pikoulas? Yiannakakos? Fasoulis? Karayiannidis?

We have good ratings playing motion (9 low) and good match rating on the spot of PG, SF and PF. We should be powerfull inside.. we are not for the moment, we will be? I hope so in a short time!

Great Match by Atmatzidis and Pitsikokos and Kaikas is the only that don't sink against the Português Exército
