Started off the Asian cup with a 1-0 win. I think the top 2 in the group go through to the knockout round, but it doesn't say that anywhere.

yeah NZ play Qatar in the finals on sunday
and we thrashed them 4 - 1
Yeah, looking great! Actually think we are a chance this time round.
My player A.Askew didn't even make the bench this time round. He is always in the NZ squad, but is yet to play a competitive game. Just ONE appearence would be nice!
who is the coach of the NZ team?
Its all on this page
http://trophymanager.com/national-teams/nz/
Wandering Wombats is the manager. http://trophymanager.com/club/315701/
He is pretty awesome about it, keeping player databases etc.
Am hoping Askew will get a run on Saturday, as I think it is something of a dead rubber. I think we are through to the Knockout rounds with 2 wins from 2.
I see Askew came on after 80 minutes against Saudi Arabia. 3-0 down when he came on (conceded 2 in 2 minutes, 78th and 79th minutes, so it was closer than it seemed for much of the match) and we lost 4-0. His only mention in the report was not exactly auspicious:
89´ Good organization from New Zealand
Can Saudi Arabia withstand the pressure?
'Ristretto' with a searching through ball
K. Idris closes in
A. Askew with a long run upfield
A. Askew powers a header at goal
That wont make the papers
Not a good effort
just will not stop singing!
? A. Askew's a numpty! ?
Still guess its good he made his debut. Do you get any money or anything as compensation for the risk of injury etc? Or do injuries in NT matches not count for league matches?
He gets some extra routine. But yeah that's about it.
It's national coach election time!
I very nearly became nz coach once,missed out by 1 vote. Would never have the time for it now,maybe one day.
Details here:
http://trophymanager.com/forum/int/announcements/111951/
Wouldn't let me nominate myself, haha.
Want me to nominate you Colvy?
It would be hilarious, except for anyone who wants the team to actually do well!
There might be enough of us in here to get you the gig.
then we can start a "sack colvi" thread
If I get National Coach I'm changing the rules so it's National Coach / dictator for life and you can never sack me. Suckers.
It would be hilarious. A lot of work though lol. Someone would probably send you a database they've worked hard on maintaining.
I see you didn't get nominated (or accept it) in the end haha.
Have placed my vote http://trophymanager.com/national-teams/election/
I tried to, but noms had already closed unfortunately.
we can make sure we do it for next time
This thread is well worth a read guys. Get involved. I see theprof has already found it.
The world cup qualifiers are coming up this season. Looks like we play India Syria UE and bangladesh.
Someone questioned why my striker got dropped from the squad,so that was interesting to hear what the new nz coach had to say.
http://trophymanager.com/forum/nz/general/123815/
yep I found it, it's good fun to be involved..............not that any of my players will be involved for some time yet - especially seeing I just got banned for a breach of the rules - aparently having your kid with a team is not good.
Crap. Did your kid bid 60mill on that youth player of yours? That looked hell dodgy. Try contact one of the mods about it. How long was the ban?
yeah, I talked to the mods and they had to abide by the strict ban rules, both teams involved banned for good. I've started a new team now and they will get back into the swing of things once the current season is done, likely to finish mid table at the current rate
Was thinking it would be pretty cool to set up a youth international tournament as well. Probably would have to be U21s though. Would be good way to scout players on the rise that may not be playing for their first teams yet.
Not a bad idea. Make it U22 to capture some more decent players.
Think they have enough trouble getting the current national team competitions right at the moment,so wouldn't happen until they finally sort that.
You Should suggest it on the forum
nominatiopns for this season's NT are up and ready, YF should voted for tegal or someone else. within the fold.
I haven't really been keeping a track of top players mind you. Did have a go at it once, got very close as well. Not sure I'd be able to do a decent job at the moment.
I'll put my hand up, purely for the lols.
I accepted your nomination. Why the hell not.
Now I need to study up :/ get some difficult as questions thrown at you in the election thread
I respectfully pull out of the managerial race, in order to not split the Yellow Fever vote. Go hard Tegal.
Unfortunately a lot of the newer teams can't vote. Teams under half a season old cannot vote.
Are we able to vote yet?
According to the announcement:
Nomination phase : from December 4th 12:30 (Tuesday) to December 8th 12:00 (Saturday) (TM time)
Voting phase: from December 8th 12:01 (Saturday) to December 12th 14:00 (Wednesday) (TM time)
yeah lads anyone who can vote put it on Tegal we can have an off site forum about it here to discuss the team when he wins
I suspect DFC will win by a landslide. But will try my best! Votes from you guys would be a massive help that's for sure.
I think with all of us voting for you, you' have a pretty good chance.
I have cast my vote....
cast as soon as they were up, Tegal fo NC!!!
