The current India U-21 NT rank is not too bad, and higher than many of the teams in the group, but it's kind of misleading because the rank went up due to our performance in season 15 and 16. So obviously at this point, our rank should be much lower. And the opposite could be the case with other countries. Maybe even a country with quite a low rank can be stronger than us. Maybe it's just me, but it's quite funny how even the rank (knowing that it is inaccurate) can encourage or discourage one's enthusiasm and spirit to win games.

If that was funny this is hilarious.

First our game went even better than expected. We TIE'd and now have enthusiasm of 10, and despite Costa Rica playing normal they were only able to score 36 against us while we poured in 99. This amazing result has us in the funny sopt of...

FIRST!

So from the 86 teams in the consolation tournament we are currently first! Now I know this wont last as I know the strength of some of the other teams and my own player Mu has been starting for Australia and he would score at will on any of our players except Kaliranjan Selladurai and maybe Aanand Rai could slow him a little. In addition he could shut down any outside player on our team, and he is far from the best in Australia.

But this has been a brilliant shaowing by our team and I just want to say how proud I am of everyone who has contributed to this success. Well done, everyone.

Be warned. Hard times are ahead.

Simply fantastic!!!

thats one of the strangest position table....
most of the other teams are better than us but still it is a decent start to a season which we had thought to be the worst of all...
lets hope that the momentum keeps going....

But we know for sure that we can't win the next 2 games...

It was a great week of training everyone so well done on all your fantastic efforts. We face mission impossible tomorrow against Venezuela in Venezuela so I have set the tactics that will help us the most.

I just can't help posting this one more time, we may never be in this position again.

Well it was another dissapointing week for training. Five of our real players got nothing including three of the four best. Of the other four guys there was pops for Rath, Rai, Salladurai and Pande. By far the most impressive was Pande who ↑popped↑ in both ID and OD. He is looking brilliant and will be able to star in our "Golden Year" when Singh and the other 18 year olds we saved last season are 21.

Even looking at the other seven guys the 18 year old "saves" makes me sad. How many are in the hands of day traders who aren't training them? Only three of them got pops.

PS: I have had a lot of chats with Bushhan's owner and he is very keen to make his 18 year old HoF player into something very special. Perhaps he will be the PG passing the ball to Singh and Pande in the future!

There'll be some hidden pops in there where they just missed showing up.

Cyprus U21 vs. India U21 79 - 96 (16508) Match Result
Final 1 2 3 4 Total
Cyprus U21 14 18 23 24 79
India U21 28 29 21 18 96

We had a brilliant win against Cyprus last night mainly due to the brilliant work SF of Singh and Selladurai who kept the Cypriot SFs to 1/11 shooting and 5 points total while hitting a combined 24 points themselves. They will both be even better next season which is fantastic!

We are still 23rd and the top 32 progress to the next stage with two games to go. I hope that if we win one of two games we will make it but both will be very hard for us. Good luck everyone. Two weeks to go and hopefully good GS for everyone.

So two games to go and they are both hard but we need to win one of them at least. I have started a discussion topic on the offsite forum. All opinions are welcome.

That was a massacre by Mexico. A generally poor showing all round and perhaps a dose of reality.
