As I've said for all matches played 'till now, I think this match is impossible to win!
Poland has a great coach. He's not stupid at all and it will not easy to set the right tactical adjustments and settings, but we will try.

Latvija win against Poland playing (I don't know why!!!) MOTS against PIC.

They have 7 Centres with >50k salary!!! Our best defensive player, Tsoutsounelos is not recruited because of Game Shape and many ohters have poor Game Shape, like Mpourdas or Gaganitis, Vlahos is still injured.

Best Guard is Aleks Wierzchowicz (2534666) with more than 50k of salary a proficient as Game Shape.

I will do my best and I've recruited "new" players like:

Feloukas because moti123, BC teammate is doing well and his players are popping up;
Lithopoulos because he's a really complete "dwarf" and finally he has "strong" as Game Shape;
Flokas because I love him... he has improved... he is 21 y.o. but I hope he will be trained still a lot
Liapis experienced player could do something important with Serdaris until Tsoutsounelos will have a good game shape
Valsamidis prize for CruelLord that is working so hard... player has Hall of Famer potential so I hope he will pop-up a lot
Tsoutsikas from D0minaT0R team is a great forward... if he was 20 I prefered him... but he's 22... I hope he will still trained for 1 or 2 years

We have finally good shape... and I think we could do our best performance as points and match ratings.

My prediction is:
Poland 111
Cyprus 80

122-75

I've made a mistake with my 2-3 against his Run and Gun... I would like to lose just 1 level on rebounding, but he plays pressure and he loses on rebound, but he has played too fast (Prominent +++ on Outside Offense!!!!).

I'm so happy, because with players, who are not the best in Cyprus (there are many players who are better and many of them are on U21), team ratings are the best we have ever had since Cyprus National Team has born (more than 31 points on match ratings, this is a record for Cyprus NT).

Iv'e to thank all managers who has been great on training GAME SHAPE.

Poland was better than us, I've made a Tactical Mistake and I will know this for future. Now 4 players are on free agent list and we could buy them to train them in Cyprus.

Now we have match against Scotland. It will be difficult, but we can do something important like the first victory on BB for Cyprus NT (Senior) on qualification match. It will be very hard, because Scotland is better than us, but... we are improving!!!

MVP:

Anestis Feloukas of BC teammate: 27 points (10/21 from the field) 6 rebounds and 4 blocks!!
Whate a shame...he's now injured for 2 weeks!!! :-(
