England 90 Italy 93

Another week, another loss. At least this time we can all hold our heads up. Highly ranked Italy, with a squad in very good game shape, were made to struggle for the entire game. We fought right till the end, I couldn't have asked for more from the team, but we came up three points short.

Fouls were a problem throughout, indeed the difference in the score is a lot less than the difference in made FTs, as we tried out best to cope with an outstanding inside offence.

We needed some luck today. The guess with gdp was a calculated gamble. If it was wrong it would have been a disaster, but fortunately it was right, and the bonus was they made a prediction that was wrong. I did think LP might catch them out and it nearly did.

This loss certainly leaves us needing to win our last two games. I felt the croatia game might be tougher than this one, but we'll have to wait to see if the GS gods are kinder to us this week.

McDonough was the standout for us today. 12 rebounds, 24 points and impressively zero turnovers.

On now to next week.

Thanks, though I'd have preferred a win.

Thanks, we did get close. I noticed your game against Croatia before the season started. Interesting tactics of course. I bet Croatia remember it too.

Thanks Lemon too. Also thanks for your help during the previous week when you and Vecx played the part of the Italian coach for me.

We actually dominated parts of the game and had a good lead during the 3rd quarter, but the Italians were just too good in the end.

Before we put Italy behind us, you might want to know the Italians prepare for their games by posting pics of women from whichever country they're about to play on their forum. I was obviously too busy to look, ahem.

What are average incomes in leagues II ?

I can only really answer that for my own division (II.2). Last week's average revenue was $444,208. More than half of that is attendance.

Very late callups for Luke Innes and Terrell Hongs today. I had wanted to save a spot for at the very least another week, but since we need to win today, next week becomes a problem that can be put off.

We have another guard injured, Palit is still unfit, so with Hongs in such good shape, he became an easy choice.

Innes is an entirely different matter. At almost the start of his England career, he's at the opposite end of the experience scale from Hongs, but he is an excellent all round player, capable of backing up both SF and PF, and hopefully he will be able to contribute today.
