it has bee a disappointing season, and scottish manager Lagavulin wanted to take over last season. So I thought I'd try to hand over the team ... and also my goal was to improve every season ... and reach the goals that I set myself. Those goals were to win the games against England and Ireland. And both games were very close - but lost all the same. So I guess it's a good thing to "retire" from the scottish U21. Even though I've had a lot of fun trying to get them going ... and with my "free" time after that I'll be able to help the korean community

I know Lee is fouling a lot but I'll still try to train him to the best of my abilities - if I get him (I probably won't be online tomorrow but we'll see ...)

Just to note, although this player pretty much lost a whole season of training
just became available

now let's move this to a new post so that everybody can scroll to last page for updates

Welcome to Monday Madness 2017!!
this is do or die time for us at the Hanguk NT
and with that:

[-59] - Hanguk 40-99 Srbija - Hanguk is 5-3 with 61 PD

not saying I don't have the utmost faith in our fearless GM-Perpete, but pending a loss, our qualification will rely on Points-Differential

and these are the teams that are remotely involved:
(teams that we need to win in bold along with the score they need to win by - based on 59 PD loss PD)

We have 12 spots to work with, so the faith is still strong!
we need at least 8 of these 20 game conditions to hold true.
Stay tuned for live game updates

we still have a chance! just don't lose by 100 =P

** Updated ** - to incorporate assuming a 50 points difference in loss on Monday

[X] means a team has climbed over us in standings
[O] means result was in our favor

Nothing can be done now
we're behind in standings to malaysia now
but we're still in the hunt! I was pretty accurate assuming a loss by 50 points

Statsman, you know that, tonight, I'm relying on you to know if we qualified. Better not say we did if we don't ! :)
I can stomach not qualifying, but not thinking we did :(

It looks like it's gonna cut it tight, right down to the wire.
for that, I will run the full analysis tonight after the very last game.
I will detail it right to the top 32 teams that make it!

So to ease the tremors of Perpete, and risk of my head on a stick, I shall now double and triple check the results of today's outcomes. Exciting times! :D

all the teams that are 6-1 before today's games will not affect us, as their spots are secured. Thus top 16 spots are out of the running. Here is the list from 17 to 32:

17 Belgium 6 2
18 Hrvatska 6 2
19 Türkiye 6 2
20 Schweiz 6 2
21 Brasil 6 2
22 Canada 6 2
23 Danmark 5 3 220
24 England 5 3 206
25 Magyarország 5 3 148
26 Bulgaria 5 3 142
27 Portugal 5 3 124
28 Malaysia 5 3 116
29 Sverige 5 3 89
30 U.A.E. 5 3 87
31 Hanguk 5 3 61
32 Singapore 5 3 51
Colombia 5 3 30
România 5 3 7
Scotland 5 3 -12
Rossiya 4 4
Australia 4 4
Peru 4 4
Norge 4 4
Jamaica 4 4
Andorra 4 4
Shqipëria 4 4

it is still a bit of a mess right now, I will try to go over it again to make sure
but from initial reports, it looks like we made it in the #31 spot!!!
hold your celebration, let me double check. Perpete will be so mad if my math is wrong! :P

I think we have history in the making... =)

the rankings of 6-2 teams might not be correct, but that is not of concern. going over the PD of 5-3 teams once again to ensure correctness

nigeria beating peru was crucial!
norway losing to vietnam may have also played a small role
japan not going down without a fight and taking down Andorra helped
jamaica vs romania played a tight game and eliminated each other from the competition

and there we have it... I hope my foot is not in my mouth when I say. We made it!
Congrats!!
