OK, today is our final game of the WC, where we play against Slovakia, one of the world's strongest team. They maybe don't have a plenty of trophies at their main page but they are always at the very top of the rankings.
I don''t think that I have a lot to write, the games against Czechs and Slovakians aren't our chances at all - especially with this low enthusiasm. We played against Slovakia before the WC and we lost by 15 points - not too much.

I will write something about our journey through the WC.

When I found out the names of our rivals, I thought that we could win one game and equalize our best result here. Our schedule was excellent and this is what I saw as our chance. Teams like Spain and Poland were impossible to beat but I had hope against Uruguay, Hong Kong and Iran.
The game against Uruguay is one of the most important victories as a manager of Misr. This is especially because I played TIE, hoping to win in the next two games. My colleague from Uruguay played Normal but failed to win in overtime. I was really amazed to see that lots of things can be achieved with good enthusiasm, excellent game shapes and fine distribution of skills. I started to think that we could achieve a phenomenal success and enter the 2nd round.
Our enthusiasm was huge before the game against Hong Kong, which was also very important to win. Unfortunately, we didn't have much luck and lost by 6 points. It was very important to motivate the players to keep struggling and to beat Iran by more than 10 points. We played CT, won by 13 and achieved the highest success in Egyptian history. We passed to the second round leaving much stronger teams, Iran and Uruguay, behind.
Our next rival was China, an amazing team which is hoping to win the WC title, something which they never did before.
I tried to experiment a bit and we lost by 35 points. I realized that our next match could be very important.
Canada was the least strong team coming from the other group in this phase so I thought that we could win that game, too. I played CT, players played the best match of their careers and the victory was there! This team kept playing tremendously and Canadians were unable to handle that. This victory put as among the Top 10 teams in the world, which is something that has never happened before for this country.
The games against Slovakia and Czech aren't really that important. Our team is exhausted, has low enthusiasm and did better than anyone of us imagined before.

Now, some not really happy information.
Four players are retiring from the team and this is their last game. I am talking about Sulayman Yousef, Nasser Ismail, Abdullah Haj-Hamdan and Jibril Abu-Mansour. Nasser is injured and he played his last game against Czech Republic. Abdullah, Jibril and Sulayman will retire tonight and they will get the special award from Egyptian BB Federation before the game.
I'll start with scouting tonight and see who will be able to replace them. This team has excellent future and the replacements might even be better.
This is why I would like to continue managing this team in the next two seasons, too.
I hope that I have your support.

We are the best!

Hello guys, our team begins the preparation for the African Championship next year in Al Jazair.
This team has two more friendlies to play before the official start of the competition.
The first game will be against Austria, which is managed by a huge fan and friend of this NT and also the former manager, LA-Fairness!
After the end of his career as a manager of Misr, where he did an excellent job, he kept excellent relationships with his successors. This is how I got into contact with him and he is surely one of the most important people in achieving this success.
Today he leads Austria, which plays extremely smart basketball, mostly inspired by the defense.
Austrians have pretty strong squad and might be proclaimed as the favorites in this match, but our players won't surrender - I am definitely sure about it.
This team of Misr plays for the first time together in this roster and might show some signs of not being together. However, I am sure that this team will be lifting the trophy for the African champion next season. ;)

The game starts at 19.00 and takes place in Berlin.
As I said, this team will try to achieve victory.

We are the best!

Good luck tonight! Will be a really exciting game, so I hope some guys from Egypt come and watch it :-)

Congratulations for the victory. It is not a shame to lose against a team with strong players and excellent tactician as a manager. Luckily for us, Misr currently has maybe even the youngest squad in the world. This team can only get better as the time passes by and Egyptian community will soon become aware of it.

Thanks. Just had more Experience today, but this country's future is really bright!!!
Keep going the good work buddy!

Hello guys, I would like to say that our team plays one friendly game today. The rival is my homeland, BiH. This country was our partner just before the WC and we managed to win in a pretty tight game. Unluckily for us, BiH has much higher enthusiasm than our team and is clearly favorite in today's match. On the other hand, we have slightly better gameshapes.
However, I will use this match to see how strong is the team which is going to represent Misr at the following African Nations Cup.

We are the best!

I've entered the election for the Egyption national team. I just wanna say, that if elected i will do the best that i can to help lead this team to success. All i have to do is focus. I belive that i can do anything i put my mind to. I will need the help of the Misr community if elected. The people deserve to have a voice about how the team is being coached. I im willing to listen & i read/return all bb mail. I have coached a team to a champiopnship and ive never had a losing season. I plan to do way more if elected Coach of the Egyption National Team.

Our NT plays a friendly game against Spain on Monday. Spanish manager will put some prospects into the roster, which means that we will have a good chance of winning that match.
Since we didn't play any friendly game two seasons ago in this period, a victory against Spain might mean improving our position at the world rankings.
This is our last friendly game before the African championship so being in good form as early as possible is very important.

The game starts on Monday at 12:00 because it is played in China.

Dear community,

thank you for your votes. I hope that I am going to continue what we started with this team in the last two seasons - to be a major competitor at the international scene.

P.S.

Our team played against Spain today - I used the game to experiment a bit and we achieved a good victory with motion.

This might mean our improvement on the World Ranking list.

These are the ratings :

(23611)

Still following this NT, you got some future world-class players in here if they keep training in the right way.
Tarikz, I'll always keep on helping you if you need any advice, however you got a great coach in the past two seasons! Good luck! Bring home some gold ;-)

Thank you, Fairness.


The African Championship is going to start today in Al Jazair. We are defending the title won in Egypt and are looking forward to winning the another one. I will be as honest as possible and say that we have the strongest team in this continent. If managers continue listening to my pieces of advice related to training and game shape management, we will have no competitor in this race.
However, there are some teams that might look dangerous - Ghana, Nigeria and the hosts - Al Jazair.
Our team plays against South Africa today. They are pretty experienced team, especially compared to ours, but we have quality on our side and so expect to win this match easily.
All the players except for injured Issa are ready and are waiting to see if their names are on the list of the players who will play the game.
The new captain, Rahman Omer El-Ibrahim, told us that he expects us to win by 25+ points in the first match. Is this going to happen, we will find out tonight.
The game starts at 18.30, feel free to join if you have free time.

We are the best!
