I won't do anything intentionally to let you down, because this would be unfair and because I like you. Furthermore, I always play to win so clinching the 5-0 in the first round is my goal

However, all that said, Perù could potentially crunch in the last game and this is something that might complicate the equation

Didn't know you scouted our forum section (haha), nice showing for your team wish you the best of luck in the semifinals. We need a couple of things to go exactly our way so there is still hope. Peru had a game engine win against us. That's just the way the ball bounces sometimes. I think Spain matches up better against your team compared to ours but i am certain that you guys will come out on top and i know our coach will try his best to sneak in to the semifinals. Yeah they will probably crunch, nice position to be in no matter what happens you will clinch first in our bracket.

I have eyes everywhere!

I'm joking, I usually take a look now and then to foreign forums, but that's only empathy for a friend and his community. I'm glad at least I managed to defeat with a huge amount of points Israel to provide you a chance

If there's someone who could give a chance to Philippines in such a tough situation that's NdR so...best of luck! And give him good game shapes!

By the way, I could eventually take a gamble on Perù considering my position, but I have no intention to lose against them considering I'd take forward a loss ^^

That officially ends our campaign. Even if we didn't make the semis I would still like to thank you for your efforts. It's no small achievement qualifying for the Worlds. If this is what we can do with a few managers training, then there is still hope for us as a community. I hope we can stay relevant in Asia for a long time and have another shot to compete with the best countries.

The incentive for training a local player is national pride. The merchandising bonus is not that significant considering you spend on trainer(s). Its about making a player worthy enough to make a u21 player. I am sure 99% of the managers here play real basketball and is familiar with the concept of teamwork. Its not about what will benefit us personally as a manager in this game but what the group can achieve collectively. I hope we can gain more enthusiasm from the community to train and really commit to our NT's.

Technically it's not over. If we beat Israel we can go on to the 2nd round at least.
Let me say that this season everything seems to run in the unlucky way. With cargado in we were leading and sinking shots with good percentage.
Cargado out for fouls after only 15 mins despite a foul avg in my league below 3 pf per game. They shot 35 free throws to 10...
Something really unpredictable like the bad luck vs Peru in a match we should have won.
That said, Spain in the end deserved the victory, unfortunately our shape in big men was really poor, with only tobes at 9 (but tobes is way worse than the others).
Spain had three big men between 800k and 1m dmi. Ours were only around 400k.
I am not that sad generally speaking because we are displaying good talented players and our goal is still to keep on growing. But obviously you know how competitive I am, losing matches in this way makes me a bit angry. 😔😡

Apologies, I forgot that 4th meets 1st and 2nd meets 3rd. Peru will probably lose to Italy securing the needed PD. If we beat Israel by 4 pts we are seeded 3rd facing Spain finishing with identical 2-3 for 3rd?

Now it's definetly over. Well, shapes were quite clear on Friday. We lost Gamosa and have many players dropping while Israel had the entire roster at 9.
Without gamosa our inside offense was worthless, so our only choice was to keep shooting but indeed Israel sealed the deal.
It's really strange to make comments on these matches, I mean we were weaker than the others, it's clear especially in primaries which count more in this very earliest stage. But taking a look at every match and vs Peru we should have won, vs Spain and vs Israel free throws made a lot of difference.
We can say both matches were decided by our unusual foul tendency, which is something we can partially explain with more defense needed, but I feel we were incredible unlucky.
That said, seeds for the future are really good 😊
Tobes Domingo Buiza and Mente look very promising. We will have to find some backcourt depth but generally speaking next season we will try to be better than this. Me too, firstly, if you still want to give me the chance to be your coach.

Thanks to everyone for your support, this season will continue with friendlies and tests 😊

Still a great stint in the Worlds coach! Congrats and we will keep improving! 😊

This season ended finally 🤣
It was not the one I expected, clearly, but shit happens. Taking a look at other teams we can say we were definetly weak.
Now the goal is to defend our gold crown, I will candidate myself again to bring my generation to the Asia championship. These are my guys, I care quite much of this team and I can't wait to begin the new season as your u21 Coach if you appreciate it. ☺️
