Vá, hvað þetta var svekkjandi tap, hefði verið svo geðveikt að vinna 5. besta lið heimsins...

wrong defense made Lietuva to shot 0-11 from 3pts. :)
great match and great line up. nobody would be able to know Lietuva coach was so poor, because if we would, we should not have not played Take it easy and now maybe Island could have won vs n°5 ranking team! so, I agree with your choice.

But I have a question for you: why recruiting Jörundur Ingvason? I think he is not ready for u21 yet. if you need another player from 20yo you could have called Arngrímur Bjarnólfsson (13699324), with better gameshape, better passing and even better for a motion attack than Jörundur imho. :)

sorry mate, but I don't think you set the best line-up possible. Striuoginis starter and Šablovskis at home, very strange to me. :)

and ranking has a lot of meaning: now Island has less than 50 active users, while your country has more than 2000. Generally country with more users lies in a higher ranking position because gets the possibility to grow up a lot of good players. I think that this result means that icelandic users are great trainers who are able to improve few players born from draft at their best, in order to be almost at the same level of a 40 times greater country who uses more attitude in the match :)

Jörundur is better than Arngrímur in every main skill but passing so i think Jörundur Ingvason is a better player and plus that Arngrímur is for sale and i don't want to show the opponet anything

ok, maybe during this 2 weeks a lot of things changed and I missed them :)

True what you say about that you don't need many trainers to get a good team. But we also get very few players drafted each year because there are so few divisions... so a lot less to work with :)

You don't need a thousand of users to create a good team.

that's not true at all. how many good players came out from your last draft? Hundreds, for sure.
how many players came out from last Iceland draft? less than 20.
you can afford to lose many players, while Icelandic cannot. do you think it's easy for 50 users growing up all the players needed by u21 and senior team? The ones they cannot train because of full slot training are sold abroad, and most of them get lost because trainers are not usually very good (but for few good exceptions).

And why you think Šablovskis would be better?

that was just an example. I haven't said he should have been at Striuoginis' place, I just said it's strange you didn't call him at least as bencher, given that his wage and gameshape say he's the best SG you had. And that's strange Striuoginis as starter too, for the same reasons. He made 24pts because of reasons I can't say in a public forum where future opponents can read, but if you look better at standings something more you can guess :P
