We are outmatched in the 'best player' department against Turkey, Serbia, Romania & Finland - it is going to tough, but we have good depth which is going to help.

Fortunatly, Teslim Sefi is injured & wont play game 1.

All supporters are welcome to join "The Real England Federation" which was created by 21stcenturykid & as been up & running for 6 months.

However, as this is a fed, and only for supporters, I feel like I am not including the entire English community in the NT. This is not how I want to run things as part of the NT setup is community involvement, meaning that any manager that wants to participate in additional community activities / discussion should be welcome to.

I would like to create an offsite forum that any English manager can join free of charge to make them a part of the NT community, allowing you to offer suggestions & discuss all things English NT. I would be posting game plans on this forum for members to view prior to the games.

I have no experience on creating a website, but know that it can be done for free as the US NT has an offsite forum created by juicepats.

If someone with knowledge of creating one of these would like to get in touch with me that would be appreciated, if not I will figure it out by myself

Initial Squad



Little Blokes

Rudolph Morris
Neil Hodson
Rudolph Mancier
Carl Gounko
Gary Adams
Geoffrey Dorman

Big Blokes

Scott Naismith
Michael Dale
Robert Aldred
Christopher Paris
Simon Howlett
Eric John

All managers have been contacted & are congratulated on getting their players selected, and hopefully can keep their lads in good gameshape for the tough qualifying campaign the team faces.

New faces are Christopher John (found in Brazil) & Geoffrey Dorman (local player) – both are congratulated on being selected in the squad.

We start qualifying with an even squad of 12 players, 8 aged 22, 2 aged 23, and a 24 & 25 year old – so a very young squad.. Some were unlucky to miss the cut, and their managers either have been contacted or will be contacted in the near future. We will look to the option of bringing some of these players in if they continue to improve, or injury requires it.

Heres hoping to a successful qualification campaign.

6:30 left & our 6 point 3qtr time lead is cut to a point

That's some game!

They totally got the wrong defense and what do you know? so did we!

We defended far better if the PF stats are anything to go by and the ratings confirm that. All in all we could have won even more comfortably...

It looks to me like we are fairly competitive.

Good work!
