LOL. This is a new account. I used to manage a team called Illinois B.C that was in D.III before I quit. My team is 0-13 because I am intentionally losing. Considering the US's user base and resources, they should definitely be a top 10 NT. I do intend to get a US player next season. My current two trainees are cash cows. And the gap between US and Egypt is too wide to make excuses to be honest.

I have not complained once. I have simply stated facts. They've been very close to the top 5 on numerous occasions, hovering around the top 10.
People like to exxagerate on how many American players are trained. Tons of US players get trained to high levels domestically and internationally. The talent pool isn't where it should be but it far greater than Egypt's.
And I've worked REALLY hard for my 0-13 record.

Why'd you quit? Bankrupt? and if you are tanking then why are you even complaining about losses? Maybe the US NT is doing the same thing: Losing to teams that they probably could beat, to wait for better talent, in order to make a serious run. Once again, as many people have stated, the gap between Egypt and the US is not actually that big. Egypt was actually ranked above us going into this game in case you didn't notice and they put more effort into the game so we lost (which is generally what happens when two teams are about evenly matched or the better team is only slightly better but put in less enthusiasm). I simply do not appreciate your attitude and find your complaining and constant bashing of our NT to be disrespectful and I bet you some other people on this thread would agree with me.

I quit because I was tired of the game at the time. This is not about me. I have not mentioned your team even once. The fact that you are making personal attacks shows that you are running out of retorts.
The strategy you decribed is probably not the current US strategy.
ive already mentioned that we TIE'd. The fact that Egypt has surpassed us in the rankings plays more to my favor not yours.
And again, I have not complained or bashed, just making true statements about things I am dissapointed with.

haha alright You're absolutely right. You have never complained or bashed, and neither have I. I simply stated facts that you were 0-13 and had two non american trainees on your team, which doesn't help the NT at all. You know I don't think you are stupid. You are probably just haunted by a retarded ghost or something.

So all you have are personal attacks now? Ive already explained my team record and that I plan on selling the trainees... I really liked talking about the actual issues instead of the bland dealings of my club team...but okay...

Our team is far better than Egypt's, I think that should be made clear. And at least as good as Portugal and, imo, better than CR. An unfortunate mistake was made that put us behind the 8 ball in this tournament. I would encourage you to look past the results and understand the progress we've made since changing philosophies roughly 6 seasons ago.

I also didn't mean to take a shot at your team, I just wanted you to see the parallel between the NT's results that dont necessarily reflect progress, and your own team, who's 0-13 record I'm sure doesn't reflect on you as a coach, but is a painful step in a much longer term plan.

The important thing is that I'm disappointed in the community for nobody yet having come up with the headline "Misr-able".

I actually got to watch the game, it was a nail biter, it was great. Sucks we lost though, I was chatting with the Egypt manager during the game, he wouldn't tell me what he did, just said it was cool given the disadvantage they have with their player pool, but the active users actually get to train their own players though.
