Hello my fellow Americans!

Didja hear?!

Our god-like U21 manager, GForce03, and his staff of goons, girls, and goldfish are trying lead us to our first Worlds Gold since season 29! We play Italy in our semi-final matchup this upcoming Monday and we need your help!

GForce03 and the entire USA U21 staff would like your help in deciding what tactics to run against the Italians! Sure they could look at this thread at any moment and learn what tactics we prefer, but we arenโ€™t scared. We are confident that they canโ€™t handle our fighting fists of fury!

โ€˜Merica Up!

Poll:  What tactics should we run against Italy?

Base Offense/M2M: Vanilla is a flavor right?
Motion/3-2: Yay threes!
Run and Gun/1-3-1: Letโ€™s pretend bigs donโ€™t exist!
Look Inside/M2M: Hey itโ€™s worked for 50 seasons...
Push the Ball/Full Court Press: Letโ€™s foul out!
Outside Isolation/OBox+1 Has anyone ever run this?
Inside Isolation/M2M: Itโ€™s like OI, but inside!
Low Post/2-3: Letโ€™s get that Syracuse defense win!
Patient/2-3: Donโ€™t want our guys to get tired.
Princeton/M2M: Everyoneโ€™s favorite 5th option!

How is your hamster Chewy doing?

America you must feel proud, very proud. Your beloved E.B.W. has done it, what a hero. He managed to sabotage the other teams in order to win, congrats, you must feel ecstatic.
What's funny is that you had the best roster, and probably everyone agrees with me, yet you needed to "cheat" anyway.
Can't say I'm surprise tbh

Tbf, it's not the fact that he bought our players for unreasonable prices in order to get them out of shape... it's the lying of USA coaching staff that is just.. disgusting, there are no other words really.
And after all of this you have to courage of posting this?
I feel sorry for you, i really do.

But at the end of the day I should have imagined that EBW doesn't understand anything about BB since in his video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65tDUmNNjkU&t=130s he assumed that a European gold medal is as valuable and as hard to get as a African or American gold medal.

Good luck to you all...
And may the worst team win

Chewy passed away unfortunately.

Is there something in the rules about buying U21 players that are listed on the TL? Of the 15 players on the USA U21 roster, not a single one has been listed on the TL. Perhaps you should look into getting reliable players that donโ€™t want to jump from team to team.

Whatโ€™s funny is that I have only two players of your 17..... yet you only have 3 players in 9 GS. Seems like Italians just might not like having proper minutes per week ol and getting good GS.

Itโ€™s not my fault you guys didnโ€™t want to have any 9 GS players for semi-finals.

Thanks for promoting my YouTube video! I certainly did my best to create some interesting content for BB users.
Kind regards,
Love you lots,
E.B.W.

I would like to make a few points.

1. No one "cheated", he saw a player on the market he liked and purchased him. There is nothing wrong with that.
2. You guys have had multiple players get put up for sale during this second group. Then with the players on your roster, most played not ideal minutes and/or did not train GS so did not have a good update. You guys are at fault for both of those. Italy should take better care of their players if they don't want a subpar update for semis. Your best player was Italian owned and got put up for sale.....
3. You should be mourning with him instead of bashing him, he is going through a tough time with the loss of Chewy.

Good luck on Monday!

Oh no... https://www.google.com/search?q=sad+violin+meme&sxsrf=...

Absolutely not, and that's why I've never stated that what you did was against the rules. What I said is that it's pitiful for you to need this in order to win, since you had the best roster to begin with.
Talking about rule bending.... by buying our player you didn't brake the rules, at least not that one, but you did overpaid by roughly 2M for a player meaning you did break a rule that prevents money transfers

Yes, true, just 3 of our 17 players are in 9 GS but as you should know, there is a random effect that might affect these GS. In fact if you were to check our minutes most of them received close to optimal minutes yet BB wanted us to have these GS, so this is the reason

No problem man, I love doing some charity every now and then ;)
That's the reason i suggested you that video in the first place... oh don't tell me you forgot ahahah
plus you definitely need more then just my help to make that YouTube channel succesfull

Best Regards
Love you more
Sponge

We have 13/15 of our players in 9 GS....

You have 3/17 of your players in 9 GS....

But sure, keep focusing on the two that you think would have made a difference. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Youโ€™re hilarious and I love you.
Kind regards,
Lots of love,
E.B.W.

1) he technically did cheat the system but didn't break a rule that said "oh, you can't buy players from foreign u21 roster"

2) yes true, we did have multiple sales during the season and we did had multiple problems with GS during the season, minutes this week were good but GS weren't
What's your point? I'm not saying we lost because of this, first of all cause I don't think we have lost yet, and secondly if we were to lose, I don't think this is the reason for it, it surely didn't help and that's why I, personally think it was slightly pathetic, you might think it differently, you are the land of Freedom after all aren't you (the only one in the world :P)

3) look at the bright side, Chewy will finally feel happy

dude is this your answer?
I'm truly disappointed.... I'll pretend you came up with a better answer

So you believe that the player with the highest salary doesn't make a difference to a team?? Not even a little bit?? Yeah... I see your point now, yup

I know, don't worry I'll teach you,
Kind Regards

Im curious the range in which you guys over there consider "good" minutes?

Iโ€™ll pretend you guys know that you canโ€™t win a U21 semi-final with no guards or forwards in 9 GS.

I eat Italian U21 teams for breakfast. Yummy yummy.

I lead the USA to wins over Italy in the season 27 semis and in the season 29 finals to get back-to-back-to-back-to-back gold medals. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™‚

Love you,
RIP Chewy,
